    I've had a couple of large pieces done at Temple and they are exceptional. The folks there are super kind and very skilled.Services: Tattoo cover-ups & reworkings

    My first tattoo was something I been planning for years before I even decided on a placement. While it seemed simple, it was something that meant great significance to me. I booked a consultation appointment with Temple tattoo and Austin said if I didn't want to make any changes to what I showed him, he could tattoo me right away. I asked for easy adjustments from what I showed him like length and size and he was able to change and create a stencil from it. It being my first tattoo, of course I was nervous. I asked all sorts of questions and Austin was patient and answered all of them. I'm a talker and I appreciate someone who banters with me, especially to keep my mind off of pain. Not only did Austin assure me that none of my questions were stupid (because I felt like they were), he asked me questions and kept the conversation going to pass the time. The whole process took about 15 minutes and suddenly, my drawing became the tattoo I've always wanted. I was so happy with the customer service and ease of the whole process that I came back to find Austin to do my next tattoo. It was the same easy process. I also had my sights set on a bigger piece as my third, with a very specific style that I would like an artist input on. They were very kind to point me in the direction of an artist who specialized in the style I was looking for, and when that artist and I couldn't really agree on my vision, he was very kind to assure me that it was my piece and body I was putting the tattoo on, so it's important to find the right artist, unfortunately, he wasn't it this time. I really appreciated the honesty and integrity of being an artist first, and a businessman second. The customer service is excellent and efficient. Every artist's quote is different, so I can't really give you a price range, and they do cash only. There is an ATM machine upstairs that you can use once you get your piece done. The street parking situation is not it around here. You either have to get lucky or plan to walk a couple of blocks. I saw someone's car get broken into as I was walking in this area so please take extra care to not out anything valuable out in the open since you'll be gone from your car for a while.

    THE BEST experience at Temple today with Austin. I came in unsure of how I wanted the piece to turn out, and without an artist in mind. A few friendly folks at the front and the one I got lucky enough to have do this Austin-got started. HE sketched it for me perfectly to my. After I made it thru my session I was in complete shock at how PERFECT it turned out. Completely exceeded all of my expectations and more. Above and beyond friendly place I will def return to next time I want some ink done. Thank You Austin!!!! I can't say enough how much Inlove this piece and am forever grateful I chose temple!!!!
