We’d like to welcome Patrick Copeland to the B13 family! Patrick has signed on to manage our customer and artist relations as well as overseeing other aspects here in the shop. He brings a lot to the table and we are happy to have him!

We are starting to plan for our 5 year anniversary and wanted to say thanks to everyone for making this a very fast paced and amazing 5 years. Please come out and celebrate with us August 3rd at Mercy Lounge here in Nashville for a night of great music. Best of all, its free!

We are finally able to start moving forward with bookings for Amanda Leadman. She’s a busy lady and we are currently working off a wait list for her scheduling. If you’re on the wait list, thanks for your patience! If you would like to schedule with her just give us a call or stop by and we can discuss your ideas with her and add you to the list.

Are you on Instagram? If so, make sure to follow us! @black13tattoo

Thanks,


Doy Gardner

What is the PROMOCALYPSE?
It’s a prom! Dancing, DJs, balloons, streamers, the works. The only difference is that you don’t have to sneak out to the parking lot to drink (as long as you’re 21 & up). Oh, and the zombies. Cities across the world have hosted Zombie Walks, Zombie Crawls, and Zombie Proms. It’s your chance to get creative with makeup and costume to become a zombie for one night, and join the horde of the walking dead to terrorize the living.

On top of the daily workload, our artists travel from time to time so we occasionally experience a slightly longer turn around time while working through ideas. We always try to let you know ahead of time when a artist is unavailable and the turnaround time may be extended. We can typically follow up with most ideas within two to three business days. For smaller ideas, we can usually schedule them at the first point of contact and get these ideas in quicker. We are also able to work smaller ideas in as walk ins the same day depending on our schedule. On average, our wait time for a tattoo can span anywhere within 3 to 5 days, or sometimes 2 to 4 months in advance depending on the ideas and artist best suited. If you’re looking to get in day of or only have specific days in mind, we always suggest stopping in or giving us a call. While we may not be able to discuss all the details in full at the first point of contact, we can at least determine if we may be able to work with your timeline quicker than we can through email. For any type of scheduling, please provide as much info as you can at the beginning of the process to help us get started faster. Don’t worry about being too detailed, we like it.

Why so much communication prior to scheduling? We want our customers and our artists to be as informed as possible. Once we put you in the schedule we want to know that we have a solid understanding of what you want so the artist can prepare your sketch and have it ready for your appointment. All of our artists feel comfortable working within certain styles so thorough communication up front assures us that we have you with the artist best suited for your needs. Due to our workload, its hard for us to sketch prior to scheduling a appointment. Because of this, we communicate as much as possible prior to scheduling then build time into the appointment to show you the sketch, make any needed changes, and start the tattoo. Please note that if you change your idea at all prior to a scheduled appointment, you must contact us in advance to discuss the changes. Not doing so may result in us rescheduling the appointment and the customer possibly losing the deposit.
