    My First Tattoo
    Matt Q.

    Nino was my tattoo artist and he was amazing. This was my first Tattoo. He made me feel comfortable and was an expert in his field. I trusted his expertise and was thrilled with outcome. Definitely will be back to book with Nino

    This was created by my son for his clothing /brand 1999numbskull.com.Thank you Chummy for placing my sons creature CeeCee on me Forever.

    I had such a amazing experience. So comfortable,& I was very nervous about the coloring because I knew it was going to be a lip biter. Once I was in a zone it flew by. Chummy is outstanding. His work speaks for itself. His color piece's are very dimensional. Killer depth. And I loved the adhesive waterproof cover at the end. More places should definitely give the option. Thanks again Chummy!

    Nino is absolutely amazing! We were walk-ins and he saw us immediately and took less than 20 minutes. Definitely coming back here. All other artists are so nice!

    Dope spot for walk-in "shits'n'giggles" or an actual apt. with one of their many talented artists. Their crew is super relaxed, professional, and in my experience quick. I have to personally give a shout out to Chummy and Hector. They were able to put their own spin on concepts I brought to them and I couldn't be happier with the results (see photos) Don't be afraid to stalk the shop's artists in IG and reach out to one that fits your aesthetic and let them run with your idea. Even though I no longer live in California I'll always go back to Tattoo 13 when I visit to get a dope tattoo.

    I walked into this shop with a dilemma. I have my daughter's writing on my arm, but it was crooked. I wanted something else to offset it. After much deliberation and all the artists giving their opinion, what I got was perfect! I love it! Thank you guys. The price was reasonable and everybody was friendly. I apologize for not remembering my artist's name, but he was a cutie.

    Did a great job bringing my old chest tattoo to life and made it look a hell of a lot better! Will be dropping by to get more ink added shortly

    Hector did a great job with my son's first tattoo. Very personable and professional and as you can see very talented. But all of the others there were also very kind and hospitable. Will be back. Highly recommend. A+++++

    Great experiences, super friendly & clean. I went to Sonju, who's been tattooing me for a decade (here and before) and he does a lot of my friends work. He's always super nice and great to work with and I'm never anything less than stoked with the results.

    Left is what I wanted. Right is what I got. Lines are too thick and there should be a bigger gap between the heart and the plane.

    I got 2 tattoos in one sitting with Chummy. My cousin got a tattoo from him and it turned out well so I didn't think I had to worry. Chummy was a really nice guy so I want to make it clear that I like him as a person. But both tattoos came out badly so now I'm getting them covered up. I was shocked because they were both super simple pieces. I wanted my daughter's bday in Roman numerals and I specifically said I want it to look like a font on a computer. I knew he should be able to achieve that since he did a great job on my cousin's quote tattoo. Yet my Roman numerals came out as a sloppy, crooked mess. I couldn't tell how bad it was until I got home. I still tipped him 20% ‍

    Walk-in butterfly

    I really wish I could remember the name of the guy who tattooed me, because he did such an incredible job. I walked in very impulsively with a vague idea of what I wanted and he managed to give amazing suggestions re location, style, etc. I've never had a tattoo done that I love so much. Additionally the place seems sanitary and everyone else is hella nice. + they have free fentanyl testing kits in the bathroom which is just a cool thing to do.

    Healed tattoo is splotchy

    I won't go back. I'm not saying it's their fault, necessarily, that my tattoo got infected. But based on the general disarray of the shop, I wasn't convinced it was all that clean. My artist wasn't very personable either. I wound up needing to see a doctor for a course of antibiotics and now that it's healed, the color is splotchy and my tattoo has significant scarring where the infection was.

    New tat, fresh and slimy!

    After years of putting it off, I finally went in and got my tat done. I've got two others, so I'm no stranger to the feeling of a thousand cats licking me in hell's kitchen, but Stash made the experience relaxing and enjoyable. He took the time to toy around with my idea, make it something unique and simple, yet sophisticated. I didn't want anything too complex and I also wanted to support a local shop. Plus, being right next door to a wine bar and within biking distance to my house, how could I go wrong? I was in and out of there with no problems. The vibe of the shop is great, the guys are friendly and accommodating and definitely know what they are doing. My experience was efficient and timing was great. I enjoyed sitting upstairs listening to music and the whir of two others getting inked. Joe even kept me company with images of puppies and bears to take my mind off the pain, heh. I'm happy, and I'd definitely go back to get my other pieces touched up.

    My beautiful California tattoo!

The day of the piercing the wait time was at least 20 min. After our appt.time. If I had to pay the meter for parking, we would definitely had to add more money & time. The front desk staff were informative & helpful when showing me all the options of earrings to choose from. As far as the service, the Accredited Piercer (Marina Muller) starts to disinfect the ear & mark the ear. There was a little confusion from Marina bc for the on-line sign up form it asks what service you want done & which ear. Marina forgot to ask & confirm w/my daughter which ear she wanted pierced. As soon as this was cleared up, the process went very smoothly. As far as the price, it was a birthday piercing special for $18 each service & my daughter decided on 2 piercings. The earrings were an additional fee. The store is well kept, neat & the customer service was good, just be attentive to the actual piercings when the credited piercer does the work.

From my first contact via Instagram and then in the shop, they were friendly, professional, enthusiastic, and patient. They made the whole experience very comfortable and natural, and any nerves I had were gone in no time. This was only my second tattoo and I find the whole experience somewhat intimidating, especially after having a judgmental and pretentious artist for my first tattoo. The time I spent at Bell & Iron was completely different, and I'd recommend this shop in a heartbeat. The owner was buzzing around during my session as well, and I could tell he was also very warm and welcoming to every customer, no matter who they are. I'm sure I'll go back to work with Sophie again in the future!

After a marathon 8-hour session for four pieces, his precision, artistry, coloring, and textures (which I didn't even know were possible with skin art!) completely blew me away. These were deeply personal and contemplated pieces and he did them justice. I could not be happier with what I get to showcase on my body. No regrets -- thanks, Joe, and keep up the good work!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
