    Got my tattoo there by Zenith. Love the place. Love the vibe. Everyone was so nice and chill there. And love my tattoo! Definitely recommend and will be going back.

    Super great, I love my piercing. The initial piercing was quick as possible. It's been about a month and no infections or big problems (with me taking care of it too!) I followed the piercer's advice and called again with more questions later. Always super nice and informative :)

    I went here on Monday with a friend to get piercings and let me first start off by saying I was really really nervous because I have never had a professional piercing done before. At a glance, the place is really sterile and clean and small but home-y. My friend and I were greeted almost right away and when we told them what we wanted the guy got the piercer right away. We then filled out consent forms each and waited for the guy (never got a name) to get everything ready. My friend ended up going first and I went second. The guy opened everything, i.e needles, clamps, jewelry, so everything was sterile and he changed his gloves often as well. Each piercing I got went pretty painlessly and efficiently. The guy was nice and made casual conversation. Definitely felt comfortable and more relaxed after awhile. Would definitely come back here if I ever wanted another piercing!

    I went to Special D and had an idea of what I wanted but wasn't sure how to make it come to life. Dalton was my tattoo artist & he was AMAZING, he did everything exactly how I wanted and made suggestions. He was friendly & make me feel very comfortable. I am in love with my tattoo and couldn't be a happier customer. Will definitely recommend him & special D to everyone I know!

    Freddy is a great tattoo artist! Me and my friend both got our tattoos done by him and he can do detailed work, any font writing and if you explain what you want, how you want it, he makes sure the results are what you are looking for before he tattoos you.

It ended up being one of the best spontaneous decisions we've made in a while. From the moment we stepped in, the vibe was welcoming, upbeat, and full of personality. The shop itself is clean, well organized, and has that classic tattoo parlor energy without feeling intimidating. You can tell right away that the artists here take pride in both their craft and the experience they create for their clients. We were lucky enough to work with Homer, and he absolutely made the experience. He brought such a fun, lively spirit to the whole process and immediately made us feel comfortable. The conversation flowed easily, the energy was light, and he somehow balanced being entertaining while still being completely focused and professional with his work. Most importantly, his talent speaks for itself. The lines are crisp, the detail is clean, and you can tell he genuinely cares about the quality of what he puts on someone's skin. It's the kind of work that makes you already start thinking about what you might come back for next. What started as a spontaneous stop after brunch turned into a really memorable experience. Great energy, great artistry, and a genuinely fun environment. If you're looking for a place where the artists are skilled, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the whole experience feels like part of the adventure, 713 Tattoo Parlour is definitely worth checking out. And if you get the chance to book with Homer, you're in very good hands.

    It was about a few months back I randomly went into this spot to get advice about a piercing I had…read morepreviously done. I encountered Jeff. I came in Looking to purchase new Jewelry for my helix piercing. Selected a piece but The advice I got was golden. The person who did my piercing basically used a gun & placed the wrong type of jewelry in it. The piercing guy wasn't in shop this day so ....I purchased my new joint & some solution & left. I went home with an earring that was advised based on our convo & kinda what he saw. He didn't advise me to touch my ear nor was he able to. Got home & realized my hole was smaller than the new jewelry. So that didn't get changed out. Went back to the shop to see what was my next option. It was really not a planned trip. Luckily for me Jeff was nice & remembered our previous convo. I just asked if the person who does piercing was available. He was preparing for a client. But moral of the story is Jeff went to speak to Tony. Tony came out with a smile. He also accommodated me & changed out the new earring. I purchased it that day b/c I left my other earring @ home. Tony & I chatted, he made me super comfortable & before I knew it was over! I told both guys their shop is super clean & I was impressed. Service was too notch too! Never got tatted here but they are def on the list for if I get anymore. Come to find out Tony is the owner & was the piercing guy who helped me, he is as humble as ever. Many thanks Tony & Jeff Srry it took a min for this review.

Chino- my tattoo artist- was very diligent and helpful with me from my initial contact, to the completion of my tattoo. Chino was very transparent and humble with me throughout the entire process, and worked with me based off my busy schedule. I had bounced off a few tattoo ideas with him, to which he was very patient and helpful. Chino's art and work speaks volume for itself- and I highly recommend anyone who wants high quality work, with a reasonable price ($200 / hour) to book and get their tattoo with Chino. He is very detailed, thorough, and provides you with quality service and results. I am beyond happy with my tattoo and absolutely wish I had met him years ago. Chino, you're the man and you gained a loyal customer for years to come! The tattoo shop's front desk was very helpful and friendly with me during my appointment day. The overall shop has a very private and peaceful vibe- and isn't an open bay like most tattoo shops. The privacy and different tattoo rooms provide a more "personal" feel. I highly recommend this tattoo shop for both new and "veteran" tattoo enthusiasts- the quality of customer service and work they do is amazing!
