Our Story

Founded in 2014 by Philadelphia veteran artist Scott Bakoss, Eastern Pass Tattoo Co. is more than just a studio—it’s a space where art, tradition, and community come together.

At Eastern Pass, we’ve built a beautiful and private environment where artists and clients collaborate freely, pushing creative boundaries while honoring the craft and tradition of tattooing. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or getting your first piece, we believe tattoos should be as meaningful and individual as the people who wear them.

Art, community, and killer tattoos - all in one space.

Located on 1625 East Passyunk Avenue, our shop reflects the vibrant spirit of East Passyunk Village: a neighborhood alive with artistry, great food, vintage inspiration, and a warm, welcoming vibe.

Drop by, explore the artwork on our walls, and meet the artists who bring this space to life - we’d love to have you!
