Envogue Tattoo Studio

Got a few of my tattoos done by the owner, Turk, and they each came out absolutely perfect. He designed them right there with me and the results were even better than I hoped for. The shop is super clean and each experience I had there was nothing short of wonderful. Turk really knows what he’s doing, I highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for a high quality tattoo and solid professionalism!

I'm highly disappointed in the quality of people at this studio and their willingness to work while exhausted, break agreements, and are unreliable. I scheduled an appointment for myself and my daughter to get matching tattoos. I've seen their work and I expected a good experience. Their Instagram states no deposits required, but I was asked to give a $150 deposit on two small tattoos. I sent it and scheduled the appointment for a Saturday morning. I told him we were driving about an hour and a half to make the appointment, and we were very excited. In the middle of the night at about 4 a.m., a few hours before our appointment, I received a text from the artist, Oscar, that he was tired and needed to get some rest in order to do good work, so he asked to reschedule to the afternoon. I happened to receive the text shortly after he sent it. I wasn't thrilled about the last minute change, but I agreed; I would rather him be rested. My daughter and I got in the car about 2 hours before our appointment in order to make it on time. About an hour before the appointment, Oscar sent me another text, again, asking me to reschedule, this time to the evening. He stated multiple times that he was very tired and would like to get more rest in order to do his best work. I had another appointment that night and I would not be able to make it, so I declined the request to reschedule and told him I'd rather cancel and requested my deposit returned. Then Oscar suddenly was "awake enough" and could keep our appointment. I let him know that I felt incredibly uncomfortable having someone work on mine and my daughter's body after he told me how tired he was. I asked for my deposit back based on the multiple last minute reschedule requests and the fact that he stated he was too tired and would do his best work while rested. Oscar refused to give me back my $150 deposit stating it's "non-refundable" though they don't even require deposits based on their advertising, and be hadn't started work on the piece. A few weeks later, I asked him again, hoping he had time to realize his mistake. He again refused to refund my deposit. I went back to their Instagram to request the contact information for the owner, and Oscar popped back up in the DM and finally agreed to refund my deposit and stated he would send back the money later that week. Over a week goes by and still no deposit return. I reached out to him again to remind him, and he never responded. I waited several weeks and then went back to their Instagram in order to, once again, try to get in touch with the owner in order to let the owner know what's going on and receive my deposit; no response. I rarely write bad reviews, but I am appalled by this behavior from a "professional" and especially a new business. A deposit is an agreement in order for both sides to have some security. This is some of the most unprofessional behavior from a supposedly professional venue. This event originally occurred on January 3rd, so I've given them more than enough time to be professional and fix their mistake. If their artists are flaky, break agreements and are willing to tattoo while they're exhausted, I think other people should know that.

I didn't even know what I wanted at first. Gave the owner, Turk, a simple design idea and he cooked. 10/10 Im coming back every time im in Philly. In a sea of traditional tattoo shops this place brings a fresh style with knowledgeable and detailed artists.
