Black 13 Tattoo Parlor

Went (20/1/18) in planning to get a tattoo by Kirk George. I'd come from New Zealand and didn't want to miss out, so I got to the shop early. 5 mins till opening and the line was already 4 people deep. Unfortunately Kirk George was sick on the day I went in, but the girl behind the desk recommended Nathan Fischer. Well he did an amazing job. The whole experience was really good. The shop is clean and tidy, the artists are really nice. When you walk in you can really tell why they have such a great reputation.

Black 13 is the BEST, most diverse and comprehensive shop in Nashville. No matter what style tattoo you're after, someone there is an expert. The shop is clean, the music is always great, it's a relaxing and inclusive environment where everyone feels welcome - I just can't say enough good things about this shop. Kirk George has done two of my tattoos and one for my husband and we would never go anywhere else now. His work is THE BEST and I get so many compliments on both of my tattoos from Kirk. I wear them so proudly! The front desk staff are also heads and shoulders above all of the other shops I've been to. They are friendly, honest and organized. I can't recommend this place enough.

Got my first tattoo from Danielle and she was absolutely amazing! Her lines were extremely clean and her shading was perfection. She was very professional too. I will definitely be coming again!

I've been meaning to post a review for a while, but better late than never. Black 13 is the absolute BEST!!! I went in for their LIVE event and it was something really special. Once a year they choose a local non-profit, their artists prepare flash sheets and host walk ups only, and then they donate 100% of the proceeds from the day to the non-profit they've selected. Even better, the non-profit when I went was Crossroads Pets. So basically, I got a tattoo that I LOVE and helped some pups, cats and humans in a round about way. I've never heard of a shop doing this, but I'm so glad Black 13 does!

The atmosphere inside Black 13 made me feel instantly at ease. You can tell they've put a lot of thought in to their decor and the all around experience for guests whether you are a first time client, a regular, or it's your first time ever walking in to a tattoo shop. Not to mention, the front desk staff was so welcoming (on a very busy day) and ready to answer my many questions. They were great!

Ryan Thomas did my tattoo and he crushed it! He's super professional, talented,, works fast and his work is incredibly accurate too! I'll be seeing him again for sure!

This wasn't my first tattoo or the first shop I've been in and I can honestly say it was the best experience I've had this far. I'll definitely be back. I've already got about four more ideas mapped out!

See y'all soon!

The staff was great and super helpful. Daniel Hughes was awesome at his work as a tattoo artist 🎨. And he kept my mind off the needles... The work he did was great.. Thanks again... I really enjoyed the staff and Daniel Hughes professionalism and his willingness to go the extra mile to find my original tattoo.

Loved my experience here at Black 13! I have several tattoos but this was my far the best. Kimberly at the front desk was soooo kind. She was very patient. Walked us through everything. Sizing, font, pricing. There was no pressure and there was no negativity based on what we were getting. The artist was great too! We had Luke. If you’re looking for a place to go to in Nashville. Check them out!!

There are some seriously talented artists here and the facilities are super clean and feel very professional. My man Luke Baxter gave me the attached ambigram and added the watercolor to the design last minute. I’m headed back for more!

I was a walk in and Luke was absolutely amazing. The entire place was clean and professional and I felt incredibly comfortable. My actual tattoo was done beautifully it is exactly what I wanted. Checking in, the lobby was really cool looking. The whole thing was wonderful, I highly recomend.

Black 13 is my official go to tattoo shop! My first appointment with Kirk was amazing! It was my first larger tattoo and I had nerves raging! He was easy going and a lot of fun during the whole process! I brought in an idea that I wanted to be designed with his style and he knocked it outside of the park. So unique and clean and sharp. I've now begun a booking for another tattoo with Steve Pearson and I can't wait!

Great artists and staff and a rad shop. Always the best experience. Ive done a lot of research on artists here in Nashville and collectively this shop has some of the best work I’ve ever seen combined. There’s not one person who i wouldn’t want to tattoo me. Apart from the artists, the ladies, Kim and Ren, who help run the shop are always extremely helpful and professional. If i could give more than 5 stars, i would. Awesome shop, great atmosphere, friendly staff and artists, clean, and hands down just straight up quality work.
