Spirited Tattooing Coalition

Located in the diverse Cedar Park section of West Philadelphia, Spirited stands out amid the Philly tattoo fray thanks to its engagement with LGBTQ communities and all “marginalized voices, artists and identities”—a proactive response to the antiquated attitudes of some in the industry. The cozy, open-floor-plan shop, opened by owner-artist Jasmine T. Morrell in 2015, extends its inclusive philosophy to occasional event/gallery programming that’s centered around social justice and fundraising for congruous causes.
