Liz Soto

I loved my experience, from when I walked in and walked out. My tattoo artist IG@nothumantats 🔥, I was comfortable through out my whole tattoo session, took a nap and everything. A gentle man with great talent. In love with my tattoo and can’t wait to come back and let him finish my sleeve …

Crystal Lewis

My man surprised me with an appointment since I've been wanting to get an industrial piercing for a while. This shop is great ! Customer service 5 star. My guy is in a power W/C , they have a portable ramp so he was able to come in an watch. If you want a piercing and excellent service go check out Austin.

Emily Geier

My fiancé and I were lucky enough to enter and WIN Rodney aka @nothumantats 16 hour 2 day raffle from the CH tattoo convention!! This was seriously the best tattoo experience I’ve ever had! I came in with an idea of what I wanted he took that and made it into a whole cohesive piece!! I love the additions he thought of along the way! He really listened to everything I did and didn’t want! I couldn’t be any happier with the final result! The aftercare program he recommended is a game changer! Can’t wait to recommend everyone to check him out! Also the shop was extremely well maintained, clean and everyone was super friendly definitely going back!!!

Jess Ennis

I had a great experience. I called ahead for a walk-in nose piercing and they were super accommodating. The person who was at the front desk was really professional and answered all my questions, had me sign routine consent forms. They’re cash only but have an ATM conveniently inside. The piercing artist, Austin was amazing. Again very professional, provided good instruction of what to expect and follow-up care. Confident in his skill. Everything was clean/sterile and well prepped. Couldn’t have been better. Thanks again Skin Deep!

I’ve been getting tattooed by Rodney for years, he is very professionally, friendly, and on top of that does AMAZING work! He is very detailed from scheduling to the art work he does. He takes his time and makes sure you love your final piece, I just got a tattoo this last past Wednesday by Rodney and we were schedule for 12:30, he came early cleaned and prepped his area before beginning my tattoo. He made sure I was comfortable before starting and even throughout my tattoo session. Even when I thought I wanted to quit he helped me through it and I’m glad he did because I absolutely love my art work. He didn’t mind if I needed a break or two from the time frame we were sitting. To me he is just the all time best! I can’t wait to get more he’s literally the only tattoo artist I go to now because the quality he provides. I recommend anybody who wants a nice peace of art that goes on your body forever to hit Rodney up.

Annis Oliphant

Best Tattoo Shop I’ve been to everyone is nice and the service is excellent , the most beautiful work done by yalem_art anything you want he can do, definitely will be going back again .. he’s the most nice and quickest tattoo artist I definitely would recommend him.. but I want to thank him again for his amazing work he has done for me so far, A 5 STAR from me!

o.s.s life

Amazing work completely Professional very clean work space also you Won’t be bored they play some good movies while your getting tattooed not to Mention everyone is super cool and easy to talk too got my tattoo from savage and trust me I will be back definitely 120% sure of that go check him out.

shanice McKenzie

I got my first tat done at this shop by Rodney, He’s very talented and an outstanding artist going in I was scared but once he started it was light weight fr fr like I barely feel anything. Going to Rodney you won’t regret being opened to ideas he might have for your piece. I really love my tat going for my 2nd & 3rd soon. You can also see some his work on Instagram @nothumantats

Joju Somoye

Really had a great experience here. The artist (Savage) was very kind and had a calm energy. He’s clearly passionate about he’s work and really cares about the cleaning/sanitary aspect of getting a tattoo. Plus he’s a great artist, will definitely be back!

marquese hudgens

Great experience as always, Rodney has been doing a couple of my tattoos now and everytime they come amazing. You can tell he really cares about his work.

Hoshi Hart

Walked into this shop today and got seen for a faux rook piercing right away. Austin was great! Super clean and professional. I was unsure of the placement of my piercing so he mapped out the other piercings I wanted in the future so I could see the perfect spot- very accommodating. The prices are not bad and Austin also mentioned they change jewelry out for free which is a bonus! I will be going here again in the future.

Alicia Holland

Rodney did an excellent job on my tattoo! He brought my vision to life. I highly recommend him if you need any work done. He was professional, friendly and fast.

lucy gehan

Tattoo artist Rodney was great! Very professional, clean and conversational which made the experience so much better. Would highly recommend and already planning my next piece.

Ariana Divan

I don't think I'll be going to anyone else for my tattoos. Savage was super nice and made me feel comfortable. This was my first time and I'm happy to have such a great artist.

Paris Roserie

Hands down one of my favorite tattoo spots to go to in Philly. If you need a detailed, high quality tattoo and exceptional service, I would highly recommend booking Rodney. He carries out your vision and overdelivers everytime.

Sydney Rebhun

austin is the best piercer in philly hands down. he has pierced my vertical labret, philtrum, tongue, both eyebrows, bridge - twice, belly button, removed 2 of my dermals (done elsewhere), and gave me a dermal on my forehead (which is a year old now & looks good as the day i got it), over the last 3 years. he is always super sterile, professional, and fast!! in a great way!! he makes the experience great & his work is phenomenal. he is so experienced and everything he does looks amazing & heals soooo well.

patric ganges

I went to Rodney. A good guy. He's a very professional artist. The shop was clean and nice. Would recommend anyone to get work done here.

Nail CiCasso

I’ve come to Skin Deep a total of 3 times and have been satisfied each Visit. I had my navel and nose pierced by @im_a_piercer. Both were fast and painless and done with new needles. Both of my tattoos were done by @yalem_art and I was highly satisfied with the outcome. The energy in the shop is amazing and you will feel comfortable getting your services done.

Evonnd J

I got my tattoo done by @nothumantats on Instagram here. Everything was professional and clean. No complaints! He’s a very experienced tattoo artist with really cool work. Would highly recommend if you have cool tattoo ideas

Yali Perez

I’ve been going to skin deep since it opened. My go to artist is Rodney Savage. Everyone is extremely friendly. The place is always cleaned. The artists are professional and talented. I’ve been going for years and will continue to do so! Highly recommend.

Semmmy Krueger

Shoutout to Rodney Savage for this AMAZiNG tatt. This pic doesn’t do it much justice cause it looks awesome in person 🤩 But the amount of work he did in such a short amount of time, on basically last minute notice, is impeccable & i very much appreciate you, sir & look forward to getting another tattoo from you again. …

Arianna

Went in on a Saturday for a quick piercing without an appointment, was greeted quickly and told there were a few people ahead of me. Filled out some paperwork and within 10 minutes was in the back room getting my piercing. As a dentist, I felt the piercer was professional, asked important and relevant questions to keep me safe, and was very clean (washed his hands thoroughly, used gloves). The whole process was quick and relatively painless. Everyone in the shop was super nice and professional. No issues with my piercing so far nor do I anticipate any. Highly recommend!

Nell Jones

Rodney is a master at cover ups. I had a rose on my arm that I outgrew and wanted something fresh. I sent Rodney some pictures for ideas I had, and he created a piece that I love. He was prompt and because of the great experience, I’ve already booked my 2nd appointment. The shop is clean and the vibes are good. Trust, You won’t be disappointed

Dominick Licciardello

All I can say is @yalem_art (on Instagram) is the man to go to for all your tattoos. It took a while of searching for the right artist and once I seen his work I knew it was him! From booking the appointment, all the way until getting the tattoo he was there answering any questions and concerns I had. I gave him my idea and his imagination went to work! He is hands down the most creative person I’ve ever met and his work shows the passion, patience, and persistence he puts into his work. I will 100% be returning for him. His work speaks for itself! Do yourself a favor and check him out!!

margo davis

Love Austin!! He's the only one that will do any piercings!

3100Naz

Just got my first tattoo, savage was professional & thorough I highly recommend 🔥 …

naisha torres

I went to Rodney @nothumantatsto-IG to do a cover-up and he did beyond great with my tattoo. He is the only tattoo artist I go to he goes above and beyond for all my tattoos. He understood that I wanted to get as much done even through pain lol. He’s very professional and very courteous .

Rebecca magobet

The staff is very welcoming and theybmake you feel comfortable. My tattoo artist was professional and social. Went in for a cover up. He did very clean work and I was pleased with the end results. I love my tattoo. Would definitely recommend them.

Cheyenne Milewski

My review is for piercings. So far I’ve gotten my nipples and double helix and I’ve also brought friends and family here on multiple occasions. Austin is so kind and gentle. He’s very professional and knowledgeable so I feel very comfortable every time I come in for a new piercing. He answers any questions you have before and after the piercing. The new space is very nice and clean, and the guy working the front desk was also so sweet and welcoming. I’d recommend coming here to anyone looking for a great experience!

E White-Reid

I have gotten many tattoos done by this shop over the years. They are phenomenal. The vibe is chill and the people are great. Every tattoo comes out exactly like i wanted. I tell everybody about them. Savage is an awesome tattoo artist. He has always given me exactly what i wanted and blends colors so well.

Sonya Winters

Me and my friend gotten our belly piercing at this shop and it was awesome. It was clean everything was sterile and the pain was none. Great job guys!

Fred Tulloch

LOVE THIS SHOP!!!! Clean and everyone is courteous and VERY professional!!! I got tats done multiple times by the artist Rodney Savage and he is the BEST!!!! Been going to Rodney for years and he is great at what he does!! I recommend everyone I know to this shop for tats or piercings. I GUARANTEE you will not be disappointed!!! Thanks again Rodney and company!!!!!!!

Yoni Sacred Space

I always have a great experience when I go there. Whether I amd getting a tattoo or a pricing everyone is always professional

Umi Santiago

I just got my nose pierced here today. The wait wasn’t long at all. I forgot the piercers name already but he’s a very nice man. He took the time to explain to me everything that he was going to do and answered all of my questions. I loved my experience here.

Kadijah Randolph

Skin Deep is my safe haven tattoo parlor in Philadelphia. Whenever I'm scheduled my appointment always begins on time. The staff at Skin Deep are not only talented, they are also caring and friendly, which not every artist out there is. Staff routinely practice cleaning sanitation and safety protocols throughout the day. The environment is always calm relaxing and safe. Rodney Savage is always my artist of choice. He is one of a kind. His pieces are always intricate and unique. Savage is professional and trustworthy. He always educates his clients on before and after care. This place definitely set the standard for a quality tattoo parlor. Thank you Savage and Skin Deep. My loyalty will always reside with Rodney Savage and Skin Deep Tattoos.

Dontae Bowie

The place itself is great with good staff .Rodney Savage or NotHumanTats is literally a great artist that actually works with you on ideas you might have for your tattoo . Reasonable and fair prices for what you want done and where you want to get it at . I’m on my 8th or 9th tattoo that was done by him lol next one is coming soon

Chelsea Star

Rodney is amazing and super talented!! I recently got 2 pieces done by him and I love them. He’s always on time and very professional. He’s also very light handed when tattooing so I didn’t experience a lot of pain. Will be going back soon.

MadameWesker

Took my nephew for his first piercing, the guy was very sweet and knowledgeable. He talked him through the procedure and what he could expect as well as detailed after care. Place was recommended by my other nephew and I was well pleased with the service. Will definitely be coming back and bringing others.

Ashley Rivera

Great atmosphere everything is always clean new and opened in front of the client. Austin is very knowledgeable about his craft. Had many piercings and in my experience people tend to blame the piercer for the poor after care habits of themselves. Tattoo experience was also great and excellent prices. Had all my tattoos by them and have been a loyal customer since their opening. Owner is fair kind and friendly and always make the experience enjoyable.

Rocco Scalzo

This shop is clean, friendly, and the work that comes out of this shop ceases to amaze me everytime I get new art work done.

Maria Regina

had a great experience getting my nose pierced by Austin. fast and skilled piercer as well as entertaining conversationalist. shop was clean and staff were friendly.

cortney cheatham

Rodney is Theeeee BEST. He has done my last 4 Tattoos and I don’t have any plans on going anywhere else. He takes pride in his work and exceeds my expectations every time. He’s always going above and beyond.

thatoneguyJ

Great artist, great wait time, all amazing

DTV

Went there twice now great customer service and my tattoo came out better than I imagined it to. Good people everybody’s very friendly

Val Keo

I love skin deep tattoo. I have come to this studio twice, once for a helix and conch piercing, and another time for a tattoo. I saw Austin for my piercings, and he was relatable, kind, and also honest about what would look good and what would work best for my anatomy. Early september, I got a dragon tattoo with some flowers, however I felt the tattoo, while beautiful, felt incomplete. I reached out to Rodney Savage and asked if he'd be willing to help me decorate the piece more by adding a flame halo and some kind of shading with the flowers. Not only was Rodney respectable, he was considerate, willing to accommodate my vision, and not to mention extremely PATIENT! I probably asked him to redraw/add things to the design about four or five times, and each time he happily worked to reach my expectation. Truly outstanding. Will definitely be back again.

Camryn Bell

I just recently got my double helix (cartilage peircing on the ear) done with Serena. She was extremely nice and professional. The piercing was quick and painless and she was very informative about after care. I was extremely happy with the results. And you can’t beat the low prices!

Rachelle Katz

This place is incredible! I have never had a bad piercing here, they are professional and friendly and always ready to help. They help people as fast and efficiently as possible. I would highly recommend if your looking for a new piercing

S C

I got my belly pierced two months ago! I was calling around for prices ran across them by far the cheapest! The service was great, quick and painless. Staff seem very knowledgeable!

Elise Austin

I go here for ALLLLLLL my piercings here no one where else I feel safe or comfy. Austin is the best piercer ever makes u feel super comfortable and answers all questions honestly nd don't tell u what u wanna hear and he is funny I would recommend him any day

Mario amaro

Great experience overall, funny and courteous staff, comfortable atmosphere, very knowledgeable people. Went in for a tattoo, had an idea of what I wanted but wasn't exactly sure how to describe it exactly, the tattoo artist listened to my idea and gave me some great feedback, which ultimately lead to a pretty awesome tattoo, it definitely exceeded expectation. thanks !

Anaiah Evans

I got my septum pierced here and I wasn't there for 10 minutes! I came came a few weeks later and got my first tattoo. It was a rib piece and really painful due to the placement. However, my artist was very patient and the tattoo came out beautifully despite my shaking. I'm going back for my second tattoo. I would totally recommend this place!

Teayana S. Woods

Austin was amazing and gentle. Happy I was referred to him for my nose piercing. Will definitely be back again for another one. ♥️

Sleeved up Rah

Only place I have gone to for piercings, since 2014. They are great; I have not one complain with them. I have even brought in a few people to get pierced up. I plan on getting my first tattoo there, soon.

Kaylah K

I would def recommend. I got my nose and tragus done here ( different times, but after the first time I just had to come back) the process is quick and in and out the door. The vibes here are chill and the artist/receptionists are mad cool.

Jessica Durkin

I don't know how sterile the jewelry is since it's in little baggies I thought starter jewelry came in a package and the young guy isn't licensed he just grew up doing piercings but if you're looking for a cheap piercing and you're really familiar with piercings and you know how to care for it than you might be in the right place I got my septum done here and so far I think it's healing okay I was told to use dial liquid and I did even though its advised not to and it healed it good since I think I was starting to develop an infection I still have crusties around my ring (2months in) and it's a tiny bit Lopsided but nothing noticeable to anyone unless your directly up underneath my nose but once I change it to a hoop I won't even be able to tell.

David Rosenberger

Couldn't have asked for a better host than Austin! Amazing work by R. Savage done free-hand! Professional and fair priced. I'm a repeat customer. My friends who have seem the work say we are going to need a bus to come down to the shop after they get their tax returns! Sincerely David R. aka Du Right of "Let's Du It Right". I again was blessed to have Savage take care of my old scares and road rash either or this shop is therapy ans Savage and Austin are my listeners. Thanks for showing me you can move on, till next round of cash ill be seeing you. Dave Andrew Rosenberger
