Cresson Street Tattoo

This was a great, efficient experience.
I walked into the shop with a design and immediately was greeted by Jackie Brown who was tattooing a very nice man. She asked me what I was looking for, and I showed her my morse code design, where I wanted it, and how big I wanted the design.
Without me prompting her, she got right to the point. Told me pricing and how long it would take.
She said she would be done tattooing the nice man in an hour, and I should come back and she would do it for me.
After re-​sizing my design I was on the table for maybe around 25 — 30 minutes, but the work didn’t feel rushed at all, and the «pain» was very minimal. In fact, she made it clear that she had a pretty chill day ahead of her and was in no rush at all to finish.
We talked about our dogs and I was just really comfortable.
This was my first tattoo and I am so appreciative of her professionalism with a comforting side to it. Not intimidating. Just awesome!
$ 200 dollars for the design $ 40 tip. Pricing may have been a little much depending on how you look at it, but I was willing to not skimp out on a tattoo.

awesome tattoo shop. comfortable place to be tattooed. the artists are great at what they do. I have been getting tattooed for about 10 years by Jackie Brown. Good tattoos, gentle hand, fun to chit chat with… all around great experience.

Honestly I wonder how this place has customers that come in here… I walked in this past week to speak with someone because I wanted to get my first tattoo done a little later in the week. When I arrived, the only tattoo artist that was there was on the phone dealing with comcast troubles which is fine I understood and told him I didn’t mind waiting (I really didn’t) about 10 – 15 minutes later comcast put him on hold and he finally turned his attention to me. I showed him a rough drawing of what I would want, a small little infinity sign with two names in in. He told me right away that it had to be made bigger and what I have wouldn’t work… without giving me an actual idea as to how big we were talkin etc… he then quickly quoted me a price of $ 200… 200 DOLLARS FOR A TINY LITTLE 4 INCH MAX TATTOO?! I told him I would be coming in with some friends who also wanted something done, he said he could do a LITTLE better on the price. I went to another place… quoted me 50 – 60 dollars and drew up a design that was exactly what I wanted. Cresson street lost 3 clients… way too cocky!

Great place, great talent, Tonys working on a cover up for me and although it’s not done it already looks amazing ! Can’t wait for it to be finished and get more !

Got a tattoo covered up and couldn’t be more happy! Place is clean and organized and of corse Tony was awesome professional and couldn’t ask for anything better! I recommend anyone to come here!

Best place in Philly with the best crew! Worth the train ride to get tattooed and chat with some great people!
