Reviews of No Ka Oi Tiki Tattoo

Nicholas Mears

There work there is top notch. And the artists make you feel as comfortable as possible which is a plus if ur getting bigger work done. Best ink I've gotten yet!(This was only the outline)!

Carissa Ciociola (Rissa)

Last year I had my left nostril pierced by Luis, and decided on a crystal stud. It was my first piercing other than my ears, and Luis made the process comfortable and at ease with clear expectations of each step. It looks amazing even still one year later! Healing went smoothly with proper care. That’s why I came back yesterday one year later to have my navel pierced by the amazing team of NoKaOi. Haley was amazing and again made the piercing process easy with a beautiful result. I got a very pretty piece of belly button jewelry and can’t wait to show it off more in the summer! Highly recommended and I’m sure to be back for another treat to myself :)

EVA Galiatsatos

So, so, so amazing! The staff were all incredibly friendly, playful, professional, knowledgeable, supportive, talented, wise, and all the other amazing and positive adjectives one could use. A little bit pricey, but 100% worth it to know you're getting a great experience and quality care. Am definitely recommending and coming back for future piercings.

Zachary Binx

Got my first ear piercing ever yesterday, I didn’t have an appointment but they were able to take me pretty quickly. The women upstairs were super friendly and informative. They have a huge selection of jewelry although I went with a classic silver stud. I will be back for some gold rings when it heals! I couldn’t have asked for an easier experience!

Nicole Gonzalez

I’ve had the best service here. Not only did Mantis gave me great tips, she also did an amazing job with my piercings and they healed great and are on point! I highly recommend this place and I also recommend to go to Mantis because she knows her knowledge and is on point with positioning every piercing I’ve ever gotten from her !

Nat Abramson

Got my eyebrow pierced here with Ursula and my septum pierced here with Nick; both were amazing! Fast, fair priced, efficient, and friendly service done by piercers who know their stuff! Highly recommend this place.

Carolyn Manocchio

I had a very beat up pin up covered up by Bill Funk and I cannot say enough good things. The shop is clean, staff are friendly and helpful. Bills work is nothing short of amazing. The detail he put into the piece is stunning and I’m not even done yet.

Shane Ingram

I’ve had such a pleasant experience here with Sam! she’s pierced my nostril and vertical labret and each time i’ve felt well taken care of. she’s also been super responsive when i’ve had questions during the healing process! i’d highly recommend Sam for any piercing 🖤 …

Aishia TheMidwife.Muhammad

Always a pleasant experience. I've only gotten piercings here but service was Professional, staff is knowledgeable & Always puts safety first.

marc argentieri

Bill Funk and team are superior talents with details committed to excellence.

Shaana Jhangiani

My friend and I went for walk in piercings and had the privilege of getting pierced by Nick. I've gone through quite a few piercings and I've never had such a fun experience. He was kind and patient and ensured the pain was as minimal as possible. He made us feel so at ease and was extremely kind and knowledgeable. I was a bit overwhelmed by the price, but after the whole process, I knew quickly that you were paying for a top quality service. So in love with my new piercing!

Ashlyn Cancellieri

Walked in and got 2 tattoos same day, and I am so very pleased with them! The staff were amazing as well, very friendly and kind! Definitely recommend getting tattooed here 👍 …

Jennifer Kim

I got my tattoo done by Jay. She did a great job taking the time to make sure the design is exactly what I wanted it to be, and being very professional. Few times I had to stop her because of the pain from the tattooing, but she was very patient and gracious. The place was clean, and I loved the atmosphere Highly recommend this place, esp for your tattoo wants and needs

Alex P

Ursula was amazing! She helped me figure out how to deal with bad piercings from somewhere else, gave me a new piercing, and helped change the jewelry on another piercing. She was super patient and kind and made the whole experience feel safe and comfortable. I will definitely go back to her for future piercings.

Nina Zheng

It isn’t my first time getting a piercing. This place is okay… I wouldn’t say it’s the best to go. I had to wait extra time from my original appointment when the piercer was at lunch or something. It’s like that time wasn’t a matter. She walked up the stairs to the piercing area nonchalantly, as if time doesn’t even matter to her. This wouldn’t have happened if I decided to get it done at my original piercer. I recommend just making an appointment at Infinite instead of here.

Chris Clare

I’ve gotten tattoos from two of their artists, and both of them were exceptional. Bryce was able to take my idea and elevate it to a work of art. Clean lines, no fuss, great results. I won’t go anywhere else now.

Katia A.

Very friendly staff, waited maybe 20 minutes for my sister in law to do get pierced and Stephanie took me right after for a nostril piercing. The quickest piercing I ever received! I stood there most of the day for my cousin to get a tattoo (which turned out BEAUTIFULLY! Harry did an AMAZING job!) and the staff were very nice and we talked as time went by. Great experience here!

Kylie Jara

writing a review as i get tattooed on my toe because i can’t feel a thing. very comfortable studio and very friendly staff. me and my friends walked in to get walk in tattoos and i was able to get tattooed by the owner in less than 5 minutes. 10/10 IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A SPONTANEOUS TATTOO IN PHILLY GO HERE!!!!

Riley Kwortnik

My friends and I had the BEST tattoo experiences here. My two friends were quite nervous about getting their first tattoos and the staff was so warm and welcoming. We had so much fun and the work is top quality. If I could give all of the employees more than 5 stars on this review I would.

Olivia Farkas

I had the best piercing experience here. I hadn’t made an appointment, as I didn’t see that I needed to make one on their website (turns out you do), but my piercer, Luis, took me anyways which was incredible because I came from Fishtown down to this location specifically. Luis was SO friendly and knowledgeable, made me feel comfortable, and kept me informed every step during my septum piercing. The studio was very clean and I had an easy-in easy-out experience. My piercing was also done very well, didn’t hurt at all, which means the “sweet spot” was achieved, which is crucial for a septum piercing. Really wonderful experience through and through!

Lauren Potter

Went in on Saturday to get a piece done by Jessi. She was super nice and everyone at the location were very helpful. It was the biggest tattoo I have gotten so far so I was a bit nervous. The piece ended up perfect! Thank you Jessi and No Ka Oi for a great experience, I will definitely be back!

Mini Marionette

Got my septum done by nick, didn’t entirely hurt. Everything was cleaned and he took me through the whole process. I’ve had it for a week now and have had no problems. Pricey but you get what you pay for💗💗 …

Idarose Massey

I have personally know Sam since she was an apprentice and she has only improved in every aspect of her job since. Sam is very professional, precise and compassionate when she is working with clients. Her technique is well honed and she always makes her clients feel comfortable while she works. As someone who has seen multiple piercers Sam’s work in minimally painful and always spot on. She’s the only one I trust with my body modification!

Olivia O'Connor

Sam was great! So helpful when picking out the best jewelry and placement for the piercing. Would definitely recommend for nervous people she was so calming throughout the whole process!

Lauren Judkins

I made a same day appointment to get my lobes pierced and the service was exceptional, Ursula was my piercer and she made me feel very comfortable and it was so quick and easy. Highly recommend!

Banana Slug.

Called early to make an appointment and was seen the same day. Nice enough to squeeze me in unlike other places and didn’t push me off to website. Staff was friendly and greeted me upon arrival. Was looking to get 2 new piercings on one ear but unsure where to fit them. Luis was my piercer. He was amazing. He spent time working with me, figuring out where we could place the earrings- even pulled out his phone, took a pic of my ear and used markup to show me exactly where we could fit them. Walked me thru choosing 2 beautiful pieces of jewelry that would compliment each other since they lay close together. Talked me thru the whole piercing process and made me feel comfortable. The space was super clean and he took all precautions with instruments and jewelry. Wonderful guy and very knowledgeable. Definitely going back for more once I’m healed up!

Haley D

Bill was able to get me in as a walk in while I was in town for a trip, and the whole experience was great! Shop was clean, people were friendly, tattoo turned out awesome. Would absolutely recommend, thanks!

JT Kim

I thought the service was very professional. The staff was welcome and attentive although they were handling many inquiries at the desk. The piercer who did my piercing was very friendly and knows what they're doing. It's been a week and so far no complications from the piercing. Update: It's been months and I had zero issues with the septum piercing I received.

DAHVEED PIMENTEL

Great location off South St, great company and conversations with artist Harry, Excellent quality inking. I can’t wait for my next ink!!!

wendolly maldonado

I went in to get nipple piercing with Luis Garcia and he was amazing! So kind and professional sterilized everything in front of me, triple checked the placement of the piercings and gave me detailed aftercare instructions. COVID-wise, I felt very safe the front desk staff were so sweet and helpful. I got pierced 1 week ago and I’ve had almost no pain or irritation he has so good hands the placement is gorgeous! Recommend this place to everyone ☺️

Paul Menta

You put it on for life so make sure a professional does your work who is also an artist! Bill Funk tattoo legend and his Wife Anna are amazing and the staff reflects it. Flew in from Key West as its that good.

Jenn Levito

Previous experience was awesome. Today, not so much. We drove 2 hours to get some piercings and couldn't do it because a digital ID with additional hard copy second ID was not enough. Make sure you have hard copies of everything before entering. #totallybummed

Sonya Burgess

Everyone in the shop was very friendly and professional. I want to shout out to CJ. He did my nose piercing, very knowledgeable, patient and down right cool. He walked me through everything best experience.. I would recommend CJ to anyone looking to be pierced. I didn’t feel anything…

Gabby Goodman

I got my earlobe pierced here and it was just such a great experience!! LJ was so personable and set me at ease with his passion for what he does, and his humor. The procedure was quick and felt very safe. They have beautiful jewelry.

Lena Oeun

What did I get? Industrial piercing Experience: I like the girl that greeted me at the front desk. She was super sweet and patient with my questions. I felt warm and at ease. When I walked up stairs to greet Luis, he gave off a let’s-skip-the-formalities vibes. Not necessarily rude but just a bit off putting. But again, at least the girl kept me company and I’m happy about that. Customer service with Luis could be better. He told me to sit on a chair once we got into a private room. I’m pretty short (5’0) and I had to practically hop on the chair to go on it. It was uncomfortable for me haha. Luis did remain professional, properly cleaned his hands, prepped for the piercing and marked the areas. He told me to breathe when he pierced my ear. Overall, the experience was normal during the piercing process. I felt comfortable knowing I’m getting pierced by someone with 30+ years of experience. Although he wasn’t all fun and sunshine, it was all good. The industrial piercing was around $70 with basic jewelry. The price is good considering you are getting pierced by a long experienced professional.

Kari Mazzarelli

I went to get a tattoo in June 2021 and Brian was awesome. He has over 20 years experience with tattooing and he was super friendly and so easy to warm up to; for my other tattoo that I have, I also came here in the year 2009 and a woman named Anna did my tattoo and my experience was also great. So far I’ve only gotten tattoos at this spot, why would I go elsewhere if I get what I want here!

Ru Piner

I had a great experience going and getting a custom tattoo. They drew it out two different sizes for me and let me pick which one that I liked. They were very clean and covid-19 safe. Everyone in the building had to wear mask and at entry I had to get a temperature check. At the time that I went I had to schedule an appointment.

Dawn “Baroness” Jefferson

Awesome place to meet your tattoo needs. I was blessed to have Bill Funk create the essence and spirit of the New Orleans Voodoo Baron on my chest. He did an outstanding job. I will definitely be returning to have more work done by him before moving. Very clean place, sanitary, professional, great vibes and a very relaxing atmosphere. High quality work.!!!!

Victoria Fanibi

I was visiting Philly with some friends this weekend and was determined to get a couple piercings. Ursula, the piercer who handled my friend and I this afternoon, was wonderful. They walked us through the whole process carefully and even handled our indecision with immense patience. Even the actual act of piercing was softened by Ursuala's ability to outline the steps. I wish I lived in Philly because this would be my regular piercing destination. I will likely have to travel back to experience this kind of start to finish experience. Thank you!

Keisha Cunningham

This has been my go to place for years. I got my daith pierced by Luis earlier this month. It hurt lol but not too bad as he talked me through it and made me feel comfortable. He’s amazing. My piercing is healing nicely and I’ve experienced no pain or problems with it. I love LJ as well. He’s really patient, funny and knowledgeable. I saw him a few days ago to get my first lobes repierced and it was quick and easy.

Farheen Chowdhury

Luis Garcia made the septum piercing a painless experience for me! I got nervous last minute but he helped me through it quickly & easily. 2 months later it’s fully healed & looks great 🥰 everyone was nice & answered all of my questions fully. Thanks!! …

Bronwyn H

I've had excellent experiences at No Ka Oi - they have very careful, attentive artists. I've never been disappointed, and know several people who feel the same way. I have been both pierced and tattooed here, and have never had a bad experience. One tattoo was on my ribcage, in French -- and the artist worked with me to ensure it was exactly what I wanted. The price was completely reasonable. I highly recommend this parlor to anyone in the area who is considering body art!

Nicole Wilson-Gonsalves

Love going here, very nice place. Went in to make an appointment for piercing and they were able to fit me in right then. Very knowledgeable staff and accommodating! Love the vibe as well ✌🏾The only place in Philly I'd go for tattoo or piercing 👍🏾 …

Angelica Alba

Luis was amazing! He was knowledgeable and very attentive. He walked me through the whole process and made me feel super comfortable. I got my nostril pierced and was in and out within 20minutes! I totally recommend Luis for any piercing!!!

M Albertson

Highly highly recommend this place for piercing needs - I’ve been pierced by both Eva and Luis, I’m amazed by the level of experience between the both of them. I really feel like I’m being taken care of by the best in the business. Eva was exceptionally attentive and comforting through the whole experience. She really took her time, I felt really good about the whole experience. Luis is incredibly efficient and knowledgeable. I’d recommend this place over any piercing place in Philadelphia, no doubt the other piercer who I haven’t had the chance to work with is just as experienced. Thankful I’ve found a reliable and safe piercing studio to work with.

Tara Waggle (The Geek Goddess)

Finally decided to get my nose pierced and No Ka Oi was highly recommended to me by a friend. Luis did my piercing, and I cannot sing this man's praises enough. He was fun, professional, courteous and answered all my questions. He was so knowledgeable, and really took the time to make sure I was happy with the placement. The room was clean, welcoming, and comfortable. Luis walked me through everything he was doing and had a very gentle hand. Awesome place, awesome experience. I will be coming back!

stefanie burtulato

Got my septum pierced by Luis tonight and he was great. I have a deviated septum and he advised me it was possible it could come out crooked and I appreciate the honesty and not just piercing it for the money. I went ahead with the piercing anyway and it came out straight! He did a great job. He had an apprentice Gabby who he was showing the ropes and she was friendly! Overall a fantastic experience, will go back if I decide on more piercings!

Gabrielle Scott

Very clean a nice calm environment. The woman who set up the paperwork and explained the healing time and such was very nice. She was very informative and answered any questions I had. The woman who did the actual piercing (Haley) was very nice also. She talked me through everything she was doing and she was very reassuring. She was quick and efficient and I am very pleased with my new piercing. I would recommend this place and I plan on going back in the future. Compared to the other places in Philadelphia that I priced, they were slightly cheaper for the most part. It's better to pay with cash because paying with a card cost a little more, but I still think it's well worth it!

Ellie Donovan

This place is so fun. It is like being at a beach paradise! We had an appointment with LJ, he was the best! LJ was friendly and made us feel comfortable right away. He made sure everything was clean and explained it in detail.He made sure you knew exactly what he was doing and when. It was actually a fun experience! When I left, My nose looks like it has been in for months, no irritation at all. Great job!

Elise Hagel

Got my nosed pierced a couple of weeks ago and it was a great experience! Louis was so funny and nice and knew exactly what he was doing. Him and the rest of the staff made me feel so comfortable! Would definitely go there again!

Orianne Nurse

They made me feel super safe with all the safety precautions they put in place to prevent the spread of corona. Also Luis was Awesome!!! I didn't feel a thing when he did my piercing!! Definitely recommend.

Ms. Jenn-adelphia

I came here to get my nose pierced. I was surprised a lot of places don't do it anymore, but they do. Price wasn't bad, like $20 for the piercing and the price varies on the nose ring ur gonna get. This is the second time I've done this, first time it didn't go to well. But it's only been a week and it's looking & feeling great. Still tender, but overall I love it.

Mabel Holland

Oliver was amazing! This new shop is super dope and modern. He has so much talent and is willing to work with what I want with better ideas. He was easy to talk to and didn't make me feel bad as a young person getting tattooed. My tattoo is beautiful and healed really well. I would definitely go back to him again and his hard work are 100% worth it.

Bridget

I would highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for a new piercing. Luis talked me through everything and was super knowledgeable. The person working the front of the shop was also super friendly. I’ll definitely be returning for future piercings

Alyssa Schaedler

Iva pierced my nose and I couldn’t be happier with the experience, from start to finish. She walked me through my jewelry choices, reminding me to choose wisely since it needed to stay in for at least 6 months. She explained each step of the piercing process before doing anything, and unlike a prior experience getting my nose pierced, when Iva did it, there was much less pain and no blood. I’d highly recommend getting a body piercing done here - she made me feel very comfortable.

M. R.

Great place to get pierced in Philly! The booking process and safety protocols were super efficient and thorough. Looking forward to getting more work done in the future.

Nomad Bae DJ Remix

Gave me a quote soon as I walked in. I feel like they're real artists

Dominique Perez

My piercer, Iva, was amazing. A real life angel, she made me feel completely comfortable, and was genuinely interested in getting to know me as a person. She explained the process of my nipple piercings perfectly, and made me feel safe and relaxed. Iva was so sweet, and I can’t wait to come back and have her pierce me again. So happy :)

Yulia Heck

I’m a student at Temple and recently got a tattoo there. They were so nice and helpful, my artist did his best to make me comfortable and made sure I wasn’t in pain. He even gave me a few minutes to go get something to eat before my tattoo. It’s a bit pricier but definitely worth it. Very accommodating and great service.

Julie Fields

I saw Aimie for a poppy flower. She was amazing, her detail and kindness was amazing! The staff and other artists were clean, kind and made me feel very safe during my appointment. Everyone was very professional and kind. Can’t wait to come back for more!

Marsha Scholfield

I got 4 small tattoos. The artist was cool, down to earth, personable and skilled. My appointment was at 1pm and I was finished at 145pm. I will be adding 3 more soon, and getting the services done here.

Govinda Vyas

Staff was extremely helpful and informative for a relative tattoo newbie. After contacting Jordan over Instagram/email I stopped by the shop for a consultation (they're flexible with scheduling). Jordan took my idea and designed a very cool concept around it. About a week later I came in for my session and the design turned out great! I had fun chatting with Jordan during the session and the work turned out great - would suggest him and this shop to anyone looking for solid ink. Great price for the size and attention that went into this.

Jessica Chung

Went here for walk-in piercings with two friends on a whim one Friday afternoon, at the recommendation of a random man on the street...fantastic experience. Everyone was very friendly and helpful, considering that we knew nothing about what we wanted going in the door. The alternative "Hawaiian" decor was nice; not the sterile, intimidating tattoo/piercing parlor type at all (although everything was still very clean). They had a large selection of jewelry (18k, titanium, bone, wood etc) and piercing prices were very reasonable. Luis was great! He answered all of our questions patiently and instructed us on the proper care methods. He was very smooth, so I barely felt the needle at all. Healing great. Would definitely recommend!

Audrey Goldstein

I highly recommend this place. I walked into the shop yesterday with an idea but unsure of exactly the final design should be. Jen (my artist) and Kate (the friendly gal at the front) discussed my idea with me and expanded the concept beyond what I could possibly have imagined. Jen's talent and creativity are unmatched by the 5 other artists I have gone to for ink. Her friendliness while working was greatly appreciated while she tattooed down my spine (not exactly a comfortable place to be tattooed!) and she completed the piece much more quickly than I expected. The overall experience was great. She works fast, is very friendly and candid, and is an amazing artist. I would love to go back have her fill out my back (a work in progress) although she is a visiting artist who will return to Hawaii in a few weeks... which just means I'll have to make it to the Aloha State! While I was waiting, I got to check out the progress of the two other artists working at the time and it was clear they were very talented as well. One was working on a large, intricate piece, and the other on a piece with varied colors throughout. Both did fantastic work. Go here for your next tattoo!! It will be so worth it. (=

Mellie Snaps

This place is awesome, everything was very clean and professional. The person at the desk was extremely friendly and helpful, she answered all of our questions. I wish I remembered her name but she was great! My piercer was Pixie, she was amazing as well. She took her time with all of us, walked us through it, answered every question, super friendly & professional. I would definitely come back again for anything else. :)

Heather Fox

One of the best shops in the city. The crew here is always fun, talented, and helpful. Do yourself a favor and get some ink done here by one of the marvelous women artists! I've quite a few of my pieces done there and they heal well and look beautiful. Be sure to check out Tina, her work is incredible.

Mary Beth Morichelli

This is the only place I like to go but if they don't have an artist to match your needs they will recommend someone at another shop that can. I like that they are honest and thoughtful like that. NoKaOi is also the best for piercings. I've never experienced an infection and have received sound advice.

Alexia K

I absolutely love it here!!! It smells so fresh and clean. I saw a friend get a piercing done by Hailey and they were all so friendly and welcoming. They were so thorough and explained everything so well. I'll definitely come back for my next piercing or tattoo.

Naja W

i was pierced by luis, and he was very professional had a lot of information but was so stressed by his job he took offense to a very light joke. if youre getting pierced for the first time i would not go to him. not very personable at all.

Benjamin G

Called the shop, walked-in & got my piercing same day. Everyone was professional, friendly & kindly answered ALL of my questions. Luis did my nostril piercing, he was super smart, efficient, calming & literally had me out in 10 minutes. Highly recommendable!!! Thanks No Ka Oi Tiki Tattoo!!

Javan Harris

Very cool and peaceful environment; everyone there was friendly. I strongly recommend!

La'Kesha Pettey

LG was amazing. He did my piercing. He explained the whole process and even recommended that I get my navel pierced. I will be back to have more work done v him.

Courtney Magill

Very professional staff and clean work space. Haley did an amazing job with my nose piercing. She explained everything to me as she did the procedure which did a lot to alleviate my anxiety as a first-timer. Extremely happy with the results!!

Falina

Luis Garcia was absolutely amazing for my piercing! Very knowledgeable and made sure I was comfortable the whole time! It looks amazing and I could not be happier! :)

Diamond S.

After researching nostril piercings and this location, I randomly decided to face my fears 2 days ago and finally got my nostril pierced. Haley was my piercer, I was EXTREMELY NERVOUS after seeing many people on youtube cry/tear/faint, and I felt lightheaded as soon as I entered her booth (due to not eating since 10hrs prior & my nerves). However, she was absolutely PHENOMENAL! She was nice, honest, patient (which is a huge plus for me since I am very indecisive), professional, and experienced in her craft. I barely felt anything as she pierced me. I surprisingly did not cry/tear, faint, or even flinch. Therefore, if you are truly considering a piercing, do not go off of what you see on youtube/blogs and request Haley!

Devon Jennings

First time ever getting a piercing in a parlor (instead of those mall kiosks). A friend and I decided to go on a whim and get a belly button piercing(her) and a helix piercing(me). Luis pierced us, he was super cool, he answered the million and one questions we had, he walked us through everything he was doing, and told us what we should do for aftercare/what to expect. 5 months later and our piercings are healing beautifully. The jewelry available is really nice, and there's a wide range. Once my piercing is fully healed, I definitely plan to go back and get more.

Shaquita Smith

Just had a tattoo done there today. Service was great from all the staff. Tom the artist was such a great person to do my tattoo. He checked to make sure I was okay (I have a low threshold for pain) several times during the process. I was really pleased with his work. Healing now so I will update later with pictures.

Caty Leader

I got my first tattoo here when I was 18, and overall it was an okay experience. I love the atmosphere in the shop, it's professional and sanitary, and everyone is nice. However, my artist was extremely impatient with me when I had to point out that she kept drawing my tattoo wrong (the original one she drew didn't match my description at all) She rushed me and the entire process, and I actually ended up with something imperfect (she drew it for the wrong side of my body and decided not to fix it). Honestly, I understand her impatience (I was young and it was my first piece and the ribs are a really hard spot) but it put a damper on things, and I don't plan on ever going back.

michael rodriguez

This place is excellent. Customer service is great. This place have very talented artist. If you are on the look out for a new but different tattoo, this is the place to go. They also do piercings. Great place.

Natalie Monroe

Great tattoo experience! Not only did we get very nicely done tattoos which you don’t always get on darker skin the atmosphere was great. I decided to get a piercing as well while I was there.

Chef Nakaya

The new nose ring for us both..Excellent service and there very very clean💯💯 …

Natalie Thibodeaux

I had my 1st & 3rd tattoo done here as well as my nose piercing. All of my experiences have been perfect. Professional and hygienic. The tattoo artists & the guy that pierced my nose -Luis I think- are super knowledgable & their work shows that. They made me feel comfortable and eased my nerves my first time around especially by talking me through everything. If you're getting a tattoo or piercing in PA go to No Ka Oi Tiki tattoo 👌🏽

D C

Great first tattoo experience. I came in for my first session and showed them exactly what I wanted. This final season was way more intensive but Brian have some really good ideas. He took his time with drawing it up and with the actual tattoo process to make it perfect.

Mica Clemon

Hayley is my absolute favorite piercer! So far, she's pierced my friends and I 2x in the past month. She's thorough, patient, and walks you through the entire process. I'd recommend this place to ALL 😊 …

Dani Ley

Haley has done six piercings for me at this point and is also currently helping me with stretching my ear lobes the correct/healthy way to avoid irreversible tissue damage. During my first visit to the shop, Haley was so friendly and patient in helping to fix another piercer's mistake (my daith had been pierced with jewelry that was far too small and got stuck to the point I couldn't remove it myself) and was able to salvage the piercing and put in correctly fitting jewelry to ensure safe healing. Haley's professionalism, knowledge, ethics, and wonderful personality are the reason I continue to refer friends to her for all their piercing needs. She's the only person I trust for piercings/aftercare advice.

Taki

I got my vertical bridge done finally. I had an ugly scar from botch job piercings from a different place. Luis was super professional and informative and Gabby was such a sweetheart and helped me with picking the perfect jewelry. It was everything I could have hoped for and more. Thank you guys for an amazing experience!

Bahiyah Watson

I've had three piercings done here over the past 5 years and have never had any issues with the experience, aftercare, or healing

Allen

Great experience there today getting my first tattoo! Very chill vibe and helpful at the front desk. Brian Buchak did my tattoo and he did an excellent job! Very easy going and great staff. Will be back if I decide to get more!

luvpurple95

I initially came in for a nose piercing but changed my mind and got my cartilage instead. The girl who did my piercing was named Panda. I don't think she's still at the shop though. I got this done like two years ago and I'm just now doing the review lmao. She was super nice and sweet. Everything was clean. I picked out my jewelry. Went into a room and did the piercing and bam it was done. It healed fine except for a few trauma bumps but everything is good and I still have the jewelry in today that was used for the piercing after 2 years 😅 Yea I should change it now. But cartilage piercings usually take a year to heal anyway

Madi Lentz

I've had a few piercings done and a few jewelry changes by a few different piercers, every one was great

LaToya Tucker

My wife and I went to get our septum pierced great atmosphere friendly staff clean and saniatary. They also have a large selection of jewerly to choose from. Its great that they offer aftercare services. Will definitely be returning and recommending.

Google User

I didn't think I was going to get a tatoo because for several weeks I visited a few other tatoo artists with a picture in mind and they all told me it was too small and too detailed. When I walked in here on a Saturday night I was greeted by a friendly professional staff and was introduced to Rebecca. I showed her the picture in mind and she too said the same thing but she made an effort to draw what I envisioned. Rebecca is awesome, personable and a true artist. Not only do I highly recommend her but this place as well because while I waited for my drawing and my turn for the tattoo I noticed every walk in were greeted in the same manner. A very comfortable clean friendly establishment.

Valencia is fabulous artist and all around human 😍🥰 created my tattoo from several different pictures I came in with as if she could see the vision in my mind! Such a serendipitous experience! …

Brynn Ann Ditsche

I had 2 tattoos done here. One in 2013 and one in 2020 that I love. Just went in for nipple piercings this past month and had a great experience!

Hisi Wyatt

Cool place to get your business someone really takes their time to talk to you. To make sure it's what you want and not their ideas. Use to love Eddie's Tattoo they had no time for me like No Ka Oi Tiki Tattoo.

Marsha Olitsky

Amazing !!! I got a verticle hood done and they were so sweet. I usually Dont like tattoo parlors but this is one of my favorite piercing places. Its clean oragnaised the staff is so great and willing to help you. Very professional and just amazing I would go here for all my piercings

Gwendolyn Hagen

I really loved my experience here I went there because I was referred to them and I would refer anyone that wants to get any kind of body piercing done to go here They are very professional, they explain everything to you before and after the procedure and you don't even realize that it happened that's how gentle they are with you !!!

Julia Park

I received a double nostril piercing by Sam today and she was super nice and it was almost painless 😃 Nice jewelry options too …

Vee T

LOVE this place to bits! I’ve gotten pierced and tattooed here and the personable artists is what keeps me coming back! Beautiful work is done with awesome professionalism that I feel like everyone who is visiting south street should just come visit regardless if they’re into body modification or not!

Lena Jake

Customer service is lacking. I'm not unhappy with the tattoo but I am unhappy with being underquoted. The person at the front desk tried talk me into working with an artist who's work I did not like, and generally made everything feel rushed and disorganized. If it's a tattoo that is important to you, you are better off at another shop.

nicolas gabillon

It has been such a wonderful experience. Everyone has been very nice from the welcome to the departure. I went there a couple of times, first for information second to meet with Mony the tattoo artist that fit what I was looking for and then to get my tattoo. Every time it was a great experience. Mony did an amazing job, I gave him some ideas of what I was looking for and some pictures to support it and he created a design just for me which totally fit what I was Looking for without being able to express it fully. He was able to to the design and the tattoo itself in just few hours so less than what I was originally quoted. Keep in mind that the original quote can vary depending on the time it takes to design and for you to approve the design and how long you can go without a break. Mony is extremely nice and just want his customers to be happy. He has over 25 years of experience which speaks volumes and 17 years at this parlor. He knows what he is doing. Prior to go to this parlor I saw reviews that mentioned that it was more expensive. I have to be honest, you get what you pay for. I am very please with what I paid as I was quoted way higher but besides the prices you need to understand that these guys are true artist not part time kids trying to make extra money. They are designing and creating something that you will carry for your whole life. I don’t know for you but for me that’s not something I want to go cheap on and cut corners. I did my research online of the various parlors and work that each artist was doing and picked Mony based on his work, I had no idea how much it would cost as it was secondary to me. The most important was to have highly professional quality work done and Mony did just that. Thank you Mony!!!!! @mony.tattoo

Rizz

I was freaking out about my piercings but my piercer was the best. She helped me with my breathing and made sure I was okay with water and candy. I even told her that I wish I tipped her more! I will be back!

Eric Wang

I've had two tattoos done by them - an eagle tattoo on my chest and a lion tattoo on my left arm - both are exceptionally done, and I've been complimented on countless occasions on the detail and artistry of both. They are very clean, and have inspection reports to prove it. Great, fun staff with exception artistry

Carlos Davenport

My tat is awesome. Very clean and professional. I didn't feel rushed or nickle and dimed! I have already recommended them to 2 people. Mony did my work by the way. Freehand, no cookie cutter stencil.

Karli F

i got tattooed by Jessi and she did an amazing job. She is very friendly, clean, talented, and professional. All the staff here is nice, willing to help and answer any question you have. I will for sure be back and i will recommend this shop to others

Mari Figueroa

I went in and told the nice lady that I wanted a tongue piercing and she took down all my info and directed me to a man(Luis) I think . I was deathly afraid when I got there, but he talked me through the whole process and just like THAT! It was done!!!! Awesome experience! I plan on going back to get my first tattoo here!!

Sayde B

I go here for all my piercings. The piercers here a good. I've only gotten two piercing from here so far. My septum and my daith. My septum was done by Luis Garcia and my daith by Louis Molinari. Both pretty cool and gentle piercers.

Real Deal Money Talks

The young lady was awesome. Ended up I didnt need to get repierced but was calming and very kind. We talked about my birthday, kids, and didnt even notice she put the earring in my ear

idrienne walker

best place ever! all of my friends have gotten piercings here and i get mine done here as well. They're always able to answer any question I have and I always feel comfortable.

Kara B

Bill Funk is the best he is in the process of restoring a tattoo and it looks absolutely beautiful 💯💙🥰💛 it looks like a whole different tattoo and he isn't even finished 🤗 He is very professional, humble, patient, detailed and gentle yet thorough💯💯💯 i am so happy he is bringing my tattoo to life 🐺 🐺 🐺 …

Marta Warner

My daughter got a custom cartilage piercing done by Luis last month, he was amazing...the best piercer in the world! Tell everyone to come to Luis, his knowledge, expertise surpass all!!!

Shae Melancon

Tina is doing a touch up revamp on my Phoenix tattoo. She is definitely a talented artist and found her true calling. She is also very quick so you get your money's worth.

Sam

I walked in late on a Saturday night with a pretty complex design in mind, and NoKaOi was happy to accommodate me. I got tattooed by Katherine Mae and her work looks beautiful, I've gotten so many complements on the tat already - I'd definitely recommend both Katherine and NoKaOi to anyone looking for a wonderful tattooing experience!

Susan Neal

Customer service lady seems a tad bit biased. I'm a woman of color and I noticed her telling someone about the atm machines down the street, after I'd already gone upstairs to get a piercing done. Wow, I had to get the internet from my piercer, go back downstairs, across the street to get cash, then return. My money is just as green. Guess they don't care about people posting an honest rating.

Val Greisman

I was in and out with a breeze, and Luis was super great too - I barely felt the piercing at all!!

Marlene Rice-Whittaker Gaines

Great staff! Very pleased!! Would definitely recommend! Love my tat. Brian's work is awesome.

E'Lisha Gray

This is the only place that I’ve gone to for my piercings and jewelry changes (for my harder to change jewelry). Quality work, great people.

John Rosser

I had a great experience! Riger Strange is the man and killed my tattoo! Definitely will be going back for my next one!

Marlene Rice-Whittaker Gaines

I visited this shop late last year. My artist, Brian, was great. The other artists and staff were professional and friendly as well. I'm looking forward to another visit this summer. Highly recommend.

Daniel McGee

Loved that this tattoo shop was inviting and welcoming. Loved the interior and the fact thst it did give ethr the goth, demonic impression that many tattoo studios do.

Cheneka Jones

Sherekhan King

I absolutely LOVE Luis... He did four of my piercings and if I can get down there before closing today he'll be doing my septum lol... He's amazing, talks you thru it and is super knowledgable about EVERY type of piercing... I fell in love with him after a botched HCH piercing in AC #djmlol.. He told me my anatomy wasn't even fit for that piercing and I should've never been pierced in the first place, then he took it out then repierced me CORRECTLY with a VCH which healed beautifully BTW... I will NEVER go to another piercer lol

Lynea

Great atmosphere and the people are amazing. Love philly!! Would definitely recommend go here,I know I'll be back.
