1013 Tattoo Co.

Elijah is an absolutely amazing artist, and one of the most down to earth people you will ever come across. I have spent countless hours in his chair, and I would never go anywhere else. If he ever moves, Ill have to add the cost of a plane ticket to my tattoo budget!The best artists stay booked up for months and are in high demand, so paying a deposit is expected (and just respectful) to secure his time. He is very upfront with how and what he charges, and Ive never had any issues.Elijahs shop is clean, welcoming, and the atmosphere is top notch. He is extremely knowledgeable with aftercare and what to expect with healing.When you want a tattoo that will literally stop everyone you walk past, you call Elijah.

BEST TATTOO ARTIST IN NASHVILLE! Eli is so talented and his work is unmatched in this area. I started coming to him 5 years ago and will never go anywhere else moving forward. He is fair with his price, listens to what you want, and can make any idea come to life with his work. You WILL NOT find a better artist than this guy right here!

Getting my first tattoo was a big decision, and I couldnt have chosen a better place than 10/13 Tattoo. Elijah made the entire process as smooth and enjoyable as possible. Despite choosing a large piece on the inside of my bicep, which can be quite a wild experience, Elijahs professionalism and skill stood out.He was incredibly transparent throughout the entire process, explaining every step and ensuring I was comfortable and informed. His attention to detail and dedication to his craft truly made the experience great. If youre looking for a top-notch tattoo artist, I highly recommend Elijah at 10/13 Tattoo.

If I could give Elijah 10 stars, I would. My boyfriend and I have gotten many tattoo sessions in with him, and we will never go to another tattoo artist as long as he will have us. My boyfriend has gotten an entire sleeve, and Elijah is about half way done with my sleeve. These tattoos still look fresh as if we just got them a month ago. The detail this man does is hands down the best around Nashville. If you want a really detailed, realistic tattoo, Elijah is your guy! I would trust Elijah to free hand all my tattoos at this point, because he takes the time to understand what all his customers like and are looking for in art. We regularly get compliments on his work everywhere we go. Hes very personable and laid back, and the hours fly when hes tattooing.He is also very flexible! I had something come up that required me to reschedule. I texted Elijah about it about a week before my appointment, and he was very understanding about rescheduling. Given that I gave him a reasonable amount of time to fill the appointment, he didnt miss out of making money for the day that I couldnt make it. He has also let me and my boyfriend swap appointments without any fuss. There is no negative about Elijah!

I cannot recommend Elijah enough for his amazing work. Once I knew what design I was looking for, I reached out to Elijah for help with putting that design together for my half sleeve. He was referred to me by another friend and after working with Elijah, I know why he comes so highly recommended. He was very easy to communicate with by sharing ideas and helping put that design to life. He even added something’s to the design that made it even better. I couldn’t be more happy with his work and his easy process to book with him. I highly recommend him for any tattoos that you are looking for. Once you find an artist you trust, you stick with them and I plan on going back to him to do more work for me in the future! And a bonus everywhere you go, you will get complaints on your tattoo and people wondering who did it. So if you’re looking for a tattoo artist, Elijah is your guy!

Obsessed with this place! Amazing detail and quality. You can tell a lot of time and effort goes into the designs. The tattoo shop itself has cool vibes and is very clean which is always a plus. Also, loved Elijah! He’s very down to earth and makes you feel comfortable while bringing your vision to life! Worth every penny!

Highly recommend 10/13 for high quality tattoo work. He was so easy to work with - great communication, amazing skill, clean shop, etc. Still amazed and in love by the tattoo work he did. Could have asked for a better artist. He’s top notch. Can’t wait to get my next large piece from Elijah

Elijah has an insane level of talent and sharp attention to detail. He makes sure he prioritizes YOU during your session with no distractions. His shop is extremely clean as well. Looking forward to doing more work with him when the time comes.

10/13 is a beautiful shop, and Elijah is an incredible artist. I have one tattoo done by him, but I will definitely have more in the future. I recommend him to everyone!

Elijah is incredibly professional/talented and has completed two large pieces of mine. He’s stuck with me for a client because I don’t want to go anywhere else. Looking forward to be next session!

ONLY guy that will ever touch my skin with ink!! I get TONS of compliments on all the work I’ve had done by Elijah over the years!!10 out 10 DEFINITELY recommend!!

Elijah is a great artist, but even greater man. Couldnt be happier with the work I had done from him. Now if only he would do color...

I have two lower leg sleeves done by Elijah. Highly recommend his work and he was very accommodating with my crazy work schedule.

Could not recommend elijah enough. He’s been tattooing me for roughly 5 years. And I still get compliments on all of his work he’s done for me!

First responders dont do business here.I had to reschedule my initialconsultation and Elijah decided to recharge me for my deposit when he initially told me the deposit goes towards the tatto, and we can book as may times as possible. I attempted to resolve the problem instead of filing a complaint but was then denied.Poor business practice. Essentially he stole 250 under the non refudable term by not rescheduling. Regarless avoid this shop.

I highly recommend! Elijah is an amazing, highly skilled artist with a natural talent and an eye for detail!

Elijah is terrific to work with and I’ve loved every piece he’s done for me. Would absolutely recommend.

I can’t thank Elijah enough! He is very professional, thorough, personable, and extremely talented! He made my tattoo a great experience. His studio is very neat and clean and in a very nice area. He is very responsive and genuinely cares about his clients and the work he does. I highly recommend 10/13 Tattoo and Elijah.I communicated with several artists in my search for the “right one” and Elijah really made me feel comfortable. I gave him a great deal of freedom in my design because I trusted him and he knocked it out of the park. Great guy, very talented, great studio….

Elijah is such a talented tattoo artist with a beautiful shop in East Nashville. He really takes what his customers want into consideration while still making the tattoo his own. Very professional and good with communicating. Highly recommend Elijah and 1013!

Elijah is crazy talented. For black and white realism there is no one better. Highly recommend.
