About NOW & FOREVER TATTOO

In 2020 owner Kristel Oreto decided to open a small private tattoo studio after working and living in the East Kensington neighborhood of Philly for over 10 years. She used money she made on her only fans during the 2020 lockdown to open the business. After opening, she started having other local tattooers reached out to her, saying they weren't happy at their current studios. She took on her first artist and then decided she better start looking for a larger space. After months of looking at different buildings and gaining other artists she searched for a large space to make a more permeant home, finally finding a amazing space.  The larger location located at 2017 north front st. , Philadelphia, Pa. was opened Sept 2022. Kristel put her complete heart in soul into the space. Kristel has been tattooing since 2000,  Proud Mother of a Queer son and Trans son, and as a women in a male based industry she knew she wanted to create a different type of space for artists and clients.  With the Goal of Opening a Safe Space for All to get tattooed and Women, Non-Binary and Trans Tattooers to work and evolve. The space is filled with art, oddities and antiques from Local Philly artists, oddity shops and antique stores. Wanting clients to feel as comfortable as possible at their session, the studio provides access to a full kitchen to both clients and staff stocked with snacks and so much stuff to look at on the walls you actually want to put your phone down and admire the art.
