Yesterday, I had Gil fix a tattoo that I have been unhappy with for over 10 years. I have received tattoos in 5 different shops, most of which I was fine with, but I will NEVER g...

The complete Experience 12/21/2008

After recently moving to Philly I had no idea who to turn to when looking for a tattoo artist. My idea was extremely specific, abstract, unique and of course had to be perfect. Carl and the whole crew at Tattoo Odyssey is exactly who you are looking for. They worked with me and my idea, worked around my schedule and even opened thier shop on days that they were normally closed. Cons: Cash only more

Finally got my first Tattoo at age 47. Won't wait that long for my second. 12/10/2008

I have wanted a tattoo for years. Just couldn't decide on a design. After all, a tattoo is forever. I finally decided to get my Family Coat of Arms. I spent weeks searching the internet for ideas. They all looked the similar (boring), and I really wanted something unique. Then one day I stumbled across this crazy design from the 14th century. It was extremely detailed, and had a lot going on in it, but I knew that I had finally found the right piece for me. Now I had to find someone good enough to do it for me. I was in search of the best artist that I could possibly find. I checked out places on the internet, and asked people I knew about their tattoos. I was at my son's karate class and this dude walks in with this great looking tattoo, and I struck up a conversation with him. He told me he got from Gil and talked about the way he worked with him on his custom design. When I got home and checked out his MySpace page, I knew then and there that this was the guy that I wanted to do my tattoo. His work looked great. I emailed him the design and asked him if he thought that it was to complicated for a tattoo. He confidently said, ""No problem"". I stopped in and made the appointment and discussed the design. They were very professional. They told me that they would send me a line drawing for my approval. The drawing came and looked great. I couldn't wait. The day finally came. The 5 hours I spent in the shop that day flew by. His professionalism attention to detail are excellent. If (when) I decide to get another, there is no question who I will have do it. It was a Great Experience. Thanks Gil more

Art is created by an artist 10/13/2008

Gil from tattoo odyssey is the artist. My first tattoo was 25 years ago and it had faded and was poorly done. Gil took an image that I had given him and went over the original tattoo (not done by Gil). My new tattoo completely covered the first and is a masterpiece. I returned to Gil for another challenge. Gave him a photo of something that I wanted done. Gil drew the image and I now have a piece of art on my back. The outcome exceeded my expectations. Everyone that I show my new tattoo , can't believe the detail. You may have to wait a few weeks for an appointment BUT it is trully worth it. This establishment receives my highest praise. Thanks Gil !!!! more

Best tattoos in Philly 9/24/2008

I found Tattoo Odyssey after the guy who did my first tattoo told me he didn't feel comfortable doing the design I had for the second one. I am so glad I found this shop, Gil is the best. He gave the design his all and then some. The tattoo is beautiful, I am getting so many more complements on this design and the work. His eye for detail is great. I will never go any place else for a tattoo again. Pros: The People, The talent, they make you feel at home more

best tattoos in philly 9/21/2008

I just want to say that Gil is the man! I first went to Tattoo Odyssey in 1993 on the advice from a friend. At the time, I had a Wiley Coyote tattoo that i wanted covered with a native indian piece. Gil took a trace of the coyote and when I came back about a week later, had drawn the coolest, most beautiful longhorn skull/ dreamcatcher picture I'd ever seen to cover the coyote. His work was amazing. The cover-up was so great, nobody could tell unless I told them! I've had other work done since then as recently as this past Saturday, 9/20/08 when I had my tats re-colored and ,as usual, they look awesome. I constantly get compliments on my tattoos and I immediately give the credit where its due. I'll never go anywhere else. Besides being a great artist, Gil is a real good guy. He can also take pride in having a great staff to work for him. more

Best Tattoo work anywhere 9/11/2008

Tattoo Odyssey is the Best shop around. Gil has been doing my work since 1985 and I would never think about going anywhere else, he is a true artist. His attention to detail and the quality of work is second to nobody. He hand draws every piece he does, and will make those small changes while he is applying your tattoo that make it a true show piece that you want to show off. I should know for I have won an award for his work at a Tattoo Convention and have had my pictures appear in the newspaper. Thou it may take some time to get an appointment in this shop, it is well worth the wait. GIL IS THE MAN!!! more

It's A Long Way To The Top.... 9/9/2008

...and Tattoo Odyssey Has Reached That Spot as Far as I'm Concerned. I Have Been Getting All of My Tatts There Since 1998...and I Refuse to Go Anywhere Else. I'm Proud to Billboard for Gil-When People See My Tatts They Always Want to Know Where I Got Them, How $ Were They How Long Did They Take...etcetc...and I Like That I Can Support Gil in This Way...After How He's Hooked Me Up It's the Least I Can Do! Pros: Professionalism, Detail-Oriented, Years of Experience, Stays Current w Tools/Technology more

Gil rocks 9/9/2008

Tattoo Odyssey is bar far the best tattoo shop in Philly. The shop is clean, the staff is great. They make you feel so comfortable, when you leave you honestly feel like you've made new friends. Gil did my first tattoo over 10 years ago. It is as beautiful today as the day it was done. My second tattoo was done by another shop because I had moved too far from Gil's. Gil fixed that poo stain and I will NEVER again go to another shop. Looking forward to my next tat. I'm addicted :) Pros: Great art, nice people, clean shop Cons: NONE! more

best tattoos 9/9/2008

I highly reccommend this establishment. The whole experience was awesome. When you walk in you are greeted in a friendly manner and instantly feel comfortable. The tattoo artists work with you and listen to what you tell them and create masterpieces. I am scheduled for another one and am pumped. I really love how when I talk to them what I see in my head and what i want is what he sketches it EXACTLY. I knew what I wanted but couldnt find it anywhere... after talking Gil sketched it out and it was absolutely perfect, great place- Clean, friendly and great beside manner. Pros: clean, professional, amazing artistry, friendly. more

No two tattoos are ever alike when you leave here you truly have a one of a kind design on your body.
