03 / ABOUT

John Howie tattooing a client

A custom studio, not a tattoo factory

Frequency Tattoo Company opened in March 2014 with a single commitment: tattooing as art, not assembly line. Every piece is custom. No flash sheets, no shortcuts. Just careful collaboration between artist and client, in a clean, comfortable studio in East Falls.

Our Lady of Frequency has watched over every piece made here from her place in the window. She's our reminder that tattooing is craft, ritual, and art, not transaction.

04 / TESTIMONIALS

Friendly, professional, committed to clients, and damn good artists. SO happy. Now I know what all the fuss is about.
Jaime F.
His shop has a great atmosphere, and everything was so sterile and clean. I will definitely be returning to Frequency.
Casey D.
Came with a rough sketch and John was able to refine it for me. Great guy to chat with, even better tattoo artist.
