Temple Tattoo

I discovered Temple Tattoo by recommendation about five years ago and haven't gone, and won't go anywhere else now. Everything about this place is excellent, a cut above the handful of other establishments I have visited over the years.
 The first thing I noticed was how friendly everyone was. Freddy's nickname isn't "Mr. Nice" for nothing. Getting a tattoo can be a nerve wracking experience, even for veterans of the ink. The way they are patient and welcoming puts you at ease and I've almost felt like I was "one of the gang".
 Now niceties are great but that alone won't leave you with quality work on your body. Rest assured that pleasantries aren't their only talents here. These are some world class artists here with years of experience.
 I have had five tattoos done here and have been beyond happy with them all. Derrick Snograss has done most of mine and two for my wife. I hope to work with him again soon, he's a great artist but also a great guy. I have also had the pleasure of working with Jason and once had an appointment with Freddy that was cancelled due to circumstances and we weren't able to reconnect unfortunately. Freddy himself is in high demand and also travels a lot as I understand. One day we'll get that portrait of my deceased and beloved cat done and I wouldn't want anyone else for that particular one.
 A couple years ago my niece wanted to pay for my sister to get a tattoo. My sister is very conservative and probably had reservations about, not only getting a tattoo but also being in the environment. I was thrilled to be able to recommend Temple to her because I knew they would put her at ease and take care of her the way they do with everyone.
 I love this place and am coming back as soon as I can!

Got tattoos here and the ink is starting to bleed on both me and my boyfriend. This occurs when the artist goes too deep into the skin tissue, and the ink will only continue to bleed out underneath my skin. The fact that this happened with two different designs placed on two different areas of skin, on two different people make me think it's not just me that might have experienced this. I got three dots placed along my finger and it's starting to look more like a blurry line. Paid the 60 bucks minimum for my three dots.

To Temple's credit, they did deter me from getting my ear tattooed - explaining that the tissue was too soft on the ear and would not hold the ink well. I'm not sure about the accuracy of this statement and it does not redeem the fact that I have a bad tattoo on my finger but it is nice that they were firm on not doing something they weren't comfortable with.

PS my boyfriend and I both have multiple tattoos and have never experienced this sort of ink bleed out

I read the reviews and decided on this place, because I had a very specific piece in mind.  I walked in showed them my piece, which was just script but they were signatures.
They cleaned them up and did a really nice job.  Heath did my tattoo. This place is clean and professional.  I have another design I want done, and I will be BACK !!!
