She is the most talented artist I have ever worked with and am currently working on a another custom piece with her. She has a light touch and delivers the finest most clean lines. She is such a kind and generous person and artist and makes a long 6 hour session seem like 2. She made sure I was comfortable and hydrated routinely and was very accommodating to my schedule. I appreciated the special consultation time she built into our appointment to make sure that my tattoo was exactly what I was looking for. I cannot recommend her enough!

This is my second tattoo from Temple...I guess you can call this my go-to spot.

My husband and I were in town for the weekend and decided to get our wedding date tattooed on our…read morefingers. I can't wear my wedding ring because I've had multiple surgeries and having any jewelry on agitates my skin. We had been wanting to do it for a while so called around to see if anywhere had walk ins available. I called Tattoo 13's sister shop and they directed me there. The person that answered the phone said if I could get there soon they could take me so we went right there and were the first people in. They took us immediately and people started coming in pretty quickly afterwards. Definitely a fast paced shop that gets lots of foot traffic so adjust your expectations if you think you're gonna get right in. We got Nino (@zappyzip on Instagram) and he was really great at being straight with us about what will and won't look good on a finger. We both have tattoos but these were our first finger tattoos so we didn't really know what was realistic. My husband wanted to get the entire date in Roman numerals and Nino very gentle told him that would not be a good idea cause it's just too much writing and that we should keep it simple. He was totally right and we were so happy with how they turned out. Shop was very clean, friendly and professional. I read reviews before coming and could kinda tell the general attitude of the negative reviewers and I'm sure if you come in here and act like a tool or are rude they might get a little spicy with you but honestly everyone here was so nice and talented. Next time we are in the area we are definitely gonna try and book in advance with Nino!

I found Ally on Instagram and booked an appointment for a coverup tattoo about a month in advance…read more I sent her a picture of my original tattoo and the reference I had drawn to be the coverup. Days leading up to it, I was still very worried because I hadn't seen her sketch yet. The day beforehand, she sent me her sketch and I adjusted it to my liking. The next day was my appointment and I had to call her since the building was kind of hard to find. The studio was very clean and professional. I had never had a professional studio tattoo prior to this visit and I was a little worried about the pain especially because of the stipple shading. Ally had a super light hand and the outline was completely fine, and after the pain spray it was basically numb. Another concern was the healing process and I did notice little black flakes coming off and I was a little worried. After a couple weeks, fully healed, the tattoo looks as good as it was when it was freshly done. The session took less than two hours and I think the price was reasonable. Definitely appreciate Ally being my first studio tattoo experience! Thanks again :-)

The young man (tall, slim, with long black hair)…read morewith a green beanie on was extremely rude and condescending when asked about the work done at this shop. He was unwilling to help me view other artist work and his own: Who willingly turns away a customer willing to spend $$$ finishing an arm sleeve? Could it be because I am a WOMAN who is Black?? Ladies ( and gents) Do NOT waste your time here. Go where you and your money is valued and appreciated. The world is better off without jerks like this employee. I will be following up with management and the owners asap.

She's even done extra training to remove the micro blading if needed. I was looking for a natural look. It's hard to find a good microblader, she is talented.

It is a very wrist small tattoo, 3 letters and a small heart in memory of my late husband. The actual inking took just moments. No pain, just a minor stinging sensation.

As a retired healthcare provider, I was especially pleased to see the strict Covid guidelines. This was a big "green light" for me. My daughter has already booked her tattoo for a few weeks from now.
