John Howie

John started tattooing in 2005, working in shops across the Philadelphia area before opening Frequency. His philosophy is simple: treat every piece as a collaboration, listen more than you talk, and never rush the process.

His specialties include traditional American work, black and grey portraiture, and fine line designs. Whether it's a sailor-style anchor or a photorealistic portrait, John brings the same level of care and precision to every piece.
