I recommend this tattoo shop to everyone!!!!

by Babyblu

I went in a few tattoo shops on South Street, but something about No Ka Oi drew me in. It was very clean and beautiful. The staff was cool and very friendly. They took me in right away and I was tattooed by Ms. Anna Paige herself, which was awesome. I had a really great experience and can't wait to make my next appt with her. I have definitely found my tattoo artist!!! I recommend this shop to anyone.

• Pros: Awesome staff, very clean and welcoming!!!
• Cons: I haven't found any yet!

I will always go here for piercings

by dwb1163

So I went to No Ka Oi for my first piercing, I was planning on getting my septum done. The lady at the front brought me upstairs to the piercing area, and described in great detail the piercing process, aftercare, prices, jewelry options. She was amazingly helpful, friendly and congenial. The man who pierced me was Luis Garcia and he did a great job. The piercing area was very clean, and he got the piercing done so quickly and painlessly. I'm super happy with my experience at this shop

• Pros: VERY friendly, relaxed and unintimidating atmosphere, great hours
• Cons: Has to compete with Infinite

Knowledgable staff, friendly atmosphere

by misstinamarie

I would recommend visiting this shop in Philadelphia above all others. The atmosphere was super inviting, smelled nice, and I was greeted by everyone as I walked in the door! I was undecided about a tattoo design and went with my boyfriend to help me. I wanted to get his name on my arm but when I couldn't make up my mind I looked to my boyfriend for his advice. When I was talking to my boyfriend about what he thought the girl at the front desk was so polite and said something like honey, its your body, you make the decision. If you aren't sure about it, then maybe today isn't the right day to get tattooed. You should always be sure about it before just doing it because its permanent. if your not sure about his name, then get an image that reminds you of him instead, that way you wont have a name on you forever. she then drew up a version of what i wanted and i loved it! Then the girl with the hat in the back station tattooed me shortly after. she was very smart and made me feel so comfortable!

p.s. you should ignore that angry woman below. everyone i know gets tattooed at No Ka Oi and obviously this woman didn't want to hear the answer NO and should just go somewhere else with her crappy attitiude!

• Pros: friendly atmosphere, smelled really nice
• Cons: small lobby area
