Last Saturday turned into one of those perfect Houston afternoons where the weather is just too nice to go home, so after brunch my best friend, my husband, and I decided to keep the day going and walked into 713 Tattoo Parlour on a whim. It ended up being one of the best spontaneous decisions we've made in a while. From the moment we stepped in, the vibe was welcoming, upbeat, and full of personality. The shop itself is clean, well organized, and has that classic tattoo parlor energy without feeling intimidating. You can tell right away that the artists here take pride in both their craft and the experience they create for their clients. We were lucky enough to work with Homer, and he absolutely made the experience. He brought such a fun, lively spirit to the whole process and immediately made us feel comfortable. The conversation flowed easily, the energy was light, and he somehow balanced being entertaining while still being completely focused and professional with his work. Most importantly, his talent speaks for itself. The lines are crisp, the detail is clean, and you can tell he genuinely cares about the quality of what he puts on someone's skin. It's the kind of work that makes you already start thinking about what you might come back for next. What started as a spontaneous stop after brunch turned into a really memorable experience. Great energy, great artistry, and a genuinely fun environment. If you're looking for a place where the artists are skilled, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the whole experience feels like part of the adventure, 713 Tattoo Parlour is definitely worth checking out. And if you get the chance to book with Homer, you're in very good hands. read more

Pricing has definitely gone up on the jewelry pieces, even compared to the last couple times I came here to purchase jewelry. This visit, I bought a real gold piece for my tragus and was told the total was around $190. When checking the pricing, she kept looking at her phone but would quickly lock the screen before I could actually see the breakdown. Later, I checked online and saw the front piece listed around the $170 range without tax ( they don't tax you at all after purchasing). Even if the back was an additional charge of $15, it still seems like I may have been overcharged by about $5-10. After I left, I called to ask about the pricing and was told the back post was not included -- which was never explained during the purchase. What also wasn't explained is that the back post itself is not gold either. Had I known that beforehand, I honestly wouldn't have purchased it because I have seen both the front and back in matching gold for around the same price. Now I'm stuck with a mismatched jewelry piece, it's not actually fully gold, and it's probably final sale. Overall, I'm pretty disappointed with the lack of transparency regarding both the pricing and the jewelry details. read more

Painless Mark did an amazing job. The whole crew was welcoming and professional. We will definitely be back!

713 is the only place in Houston you should be going to if you're looking to get work done. I've gotten several large pieces done at 713, and every time I visit I leave even more impressed with the level of precision and expertise Homer Saenz (owner) brings to the table - not to mention the world-class team of artists he has around him. I've spent a lot of time in the shop and can genuinely speak to the professionalism, skill, and authenticity of the entire staff. They're also just an awesome group of people to interact with and talk to - which especially matters when you're on the table for hours at a time. The whole team is ridiculously talented and they don't just "tattoo you" -- they actually care about the design, the placement, and making sure it fits your body perfectly. Bring them your ideas, but trust their recommendations -- they'll help you refine it and take it to the next level. Their professionalism doesn't stop once you're out the door either - they'll check-in on healing, provide support on aftercare as well as any other general guidance you may need. Last thing I'll say is the shop itself is a work of art in its own right -- super clean, beautifully maintained, and a straight-up museum of tattoo artwork. The amount of designs they've collected and have on display is unreal. I haven't seen anything like it at any other shop, and if you need inspiration, I guarantee you'll find it somewhere on those walls. TL;DR: I have nothing but the highest respect for 713 and the incredible establishment Homer & his team have built over the past 25+ years. If you're scouting for "the spot" in Houston... stop looking and go to the shop and see for yourself. They've more than earned my trust and they'll be doing all of my tattoos going forward. Highly, highly recommend. read more

I've gotten multiple piercings done at 713 over the span of probably close to 7 years now and while I've had several different piercers over the years everyone I've seen has been nothing but professional and also personable. Most recently I had just accompanied my friend to get a helix piercing done. He was a bit nervous but Cody was such a calm and understanding presence and the process couldn't have gone any smoother. I spontaneously decided to get my tragus pierced right after just because of how kind and efficient he was. I feel so bad for not remembering her name but the lovely woman Tuesday night helping with paperwork consultations at the front is amazing as well. A great personality and so patient with the entire lobby asking questions. I personally wouldn't consider getting pierced anywhere else in Houston. read more

The vibes were awesome everyone was cool and just chopped It up the whole sesh. highly recommend this place, definitely will be going back when I travel through Houston read more

I usually don't leave reviews, but I now have something permanent on my body that was not what I requested. Honestly, I understand what the vibes are at a tattoo shop. I'm not naïve, and I'm not a Karen. But this was hands-down the most frustrating experience I've had at a shop. And I'm from rude ass Los Angeles. I'm brand new to Houston, and I was looking for new artists. First of all, the vibe was a little fake as soon as I walked in. The employees at the front were friendly enough, just seemed a little trite. Second of all, the employee running the piercing counter upstairs was overwhelmed by customers. Not really something to complain about, except she completely ignored me. I had to interrupt her conversation just so I could ask about pricing bc she chose to help clients that arrived after me. And lastly, the biggest reason I'm here on Yelp at all, the artist that gave me my Fri the 13th tattoo wasn't friendly, barely spoke, and used black ink when I requested red (Circled on the consent form RED INK). His apology was ineffective and lacked authenticity. He didn't really have a solution to offer me, which is understandable bc what can we do at this point? The tattoo is finished. I understand that I could have confirmed with him about red ink only before we got started with the tattoo. And I contemplated doing that, but I also am an artist that works with clients. And I did not want him to feel like I was questioning his skills as a tattooist or a professional in general. Could that be considered my fault that I did not confirm details about something that's going to be permanent on my body? Maybe. My bad for assuming he knew how to thoroughly read a piece of paper. Could I have made a scene and gotten my little $20 back? Possibly. But I'm not wired like that bc he actually finished the job and did the work. So I just flat out left without any aftercare. He didn't offer it anyway. I'm not gonna offer any unsolicited advice on how to run a tattoo and piercing establishment, but hopefully this feedback will help better y'all's customer service and that particular artist's comprehension skills. I don't even know his name because he didn't introduce himself. In closing, I'm also not going to sit here and tell others not to go to this establishment. I just needed to vent and maybe I should've said something while I was there. But again, I too am a professional artist, and I was already fed up with the entire situation. I did not want to lose my temper in public, although it would have been completely valid. read more

Parking is a pain! But it's midtown so it's expected lol!!! But I was able to find street parking about 1 block from the Parlour. I decided to get a small tattoo on my forearm, impulsively. I called the shop to see if they accepted walk-ins on a Saturday night. The shop lady was like yes, they always accept walk-ins. PERFECT. Drove about 15 minutes from my place. Walked in, they were pretty busy but from what I observed, it was people mostly waiting for piercings. The shop lady asked me what I wanted, quoted me a price and have me complete paperwork. She also quoted me a wait time of 25-30 minutes which was ok with me. I waited, I honestly don't know if it was the full 30 minutes or so. George did my tattoo. It's cute, neat and dainty. I was provided with a sticker and aftercare instructions. Place was clean and will be back for another impulsive tatt read more

I have had several tattoos over the years, but once I found Homer at 713 Tattoo Parlour I will not go anywhere else. He often has a waiting list, but definitely worth the wait! He is extremely patient, always professional and takes his time to make sure I am ultimately satisfied with the work done. He not only does traditional, but he is great at fine line, as well. He is a very accommodating and versatile artist, which is a huge plus! The staff at the shop is also really awesome! They are all friendly and attentive. Not only do I highly recommend Homer, but 713 Tattoo Parlour overall. There is never a time when is it not busy at the shop, so if you are serious about what you want done, the best thing is to make an appointment to sit down and talk with Homer to plan out your next piece. read more

713 Tattoo Parlour - Piercing Near Me - Houston, Texas

Honestly super disappointed bc I came here last night to get two rook piercings in my ear, I am super familiar with body mod so I knew exactly what I wanted and what to ask for. In the middle of me talking the girl I was talking to walked away while I was mid sentence (rude af) and after I signed forms and decided on jewelry another couple came in and filled out their form. While waiting they called the other couple before me (even tho it's first come first served) and when I said something they were like oh well it'll be another 20 min. Mind you I already waited 30 and the couple they just took back could've been taken back to the waiting area and me taken back instead. But no, I told the lady I didn't wanna wait another 20 min and she said ok bye. I laughed what a joke of a business. Girl have horrible attitude and prices are trash. read more

I love 713. I've gotten pierced a few times by Karen and have had great experiences each time. Their jewelry selection is phenomenal!

Meagan is literally THE best. I've been wanting to get my septum done for the longest time and I was super anxious but Meagan calmed me down so much. So informative and literally the sweetest. Super gentle too! I'm a big wuss when it comes to piercings and if I had to be honest the septum was probably a 3/10!!! Easy! I think putting on the jewelry was worst than the piercing itself. I felt so silly after how easy it went. Staff here are so sweet!!! I just felt very comfortable being there (besides my own nerves LOL). Any questions I had were ALL answered. Everything was so clean and sterile and the entire process went so smoothly. Would definitely recommend Meagan and this shop to my friends or future clients for piercings! read more

This place is really cool. The shop feels like a movie set, it's so fun to just look around. I got a leg tattoo done by Mark and it looks awesome. He was very kind, chill, and accommodating. Great experience! read more

Woman at the counter in piercing parlor is demanding, snappy, and bitchy. Would give 0 stars if possible.

My friend & I had just raced the Houston Marathon; we love tattoos and wanted to commemorate our self-inflicted pain with more self-inflicted pain. We were walk-ins treated like family. There was laughter, good stories, warmth. She got flash, I got tribal flames I'd been saving in my "to-get tattoo folder," and both turned out fabulous (efficient, sharp, clean lines). We left in good spirits, in appreciation of that feeling that seems to come rare - where your ideas are welcome, your time together is fun, the price is fair. Left happy with permanent mementos of living. My artist was Mark Diehl; he's wonderful, accommodating, talented and has great stories. He even fixed a flaw on a tattoo I'd had done elsewhere, so I'd feel better about it. Above and beyond. read more

I was recommended by my cousin to come here to get piercings because of their wide variety of earrings available. After reading tons of online reviews, I decided to go get my tragus and upper helix pierced here . I went around 3pm on Friday and didn't have to wait at all. Staff was friendly and the person who pierced my ear (I forgot his name) did a fantastic job at piercing! It was very quick and minimal pain which surprised me because I got a helix piercing a couple months earlier and it ended up hurting quite a bit. My only complaint is pricing. I understand that piercings can get pricy depending on where you go, how you get pierced, and what jewelry you get. I tried to do a lot of research on what is the best pricing for my current situation and I was very disappointed when I was told the price in person since it differed from what I read online. On this very Yelp page in the Ask Community section, there are multiple posts asking about the price of piercings and the business owner replies saying that it's $55 including jewelry and this was posted 6 months ago. When I went to get my piercings I was told that it was $25 for the piercing fee and the additional cost of what earring you choose. Since I was blindsided by this information I went ahead and looked around their options and they have so many beautiful earrings. Unfortunately though, most of the earrings they have are priced at $100+ and it didn't help that the lady who was helping me kept on bringing up $150-$300 earrings to me multiple times despite me saying that I wanted one of the cheaper options. The cheapest earring there are their titanium earrings that go for around $60-70 a piece. So in reality, the price of a piercing is starting at $85 per piercing. Even though they have tons of earring options, I felt about 15% of their earrings were under $100. I think it's totally justifiable that they have a lot of high end jewelry (which means high prices) due to quality and uniqueness but I just wish that they had more affordable options. I hope that they update their website with pricing and make their earring selections more visible since on their website you have to click the Merch section to see them (which I didn't click until now because I assumed Merch = store branding items like tshirts and stickers instead of Merch = their entire earring selection). I would definitely get my piercing done here again but only in the future when I make a decent amount of money and can afford their high end jewelry. For now, I will keep on going to my usual place that offers $20-55 for piercing AND jewelry. read more

I came here to get my nose pierced for the first time and Karen, the woman who pierced it, was incredible! She was so sweet and easy to talk to. I was nervous, but she calmed my nerves and quickly pierced my nose without warning, which I was glad for as it didn't give me time to panic or allow anxiety to set in. Karen is also super knowledgeable and passes along her instagram in case you need to ask her any questions. I reached out a few times and she responded back in a timely manner, sometimes sending videos to help me better understand the answers to my questions. The parlor itself is very clean and the people behind the counter are always friendly and helpful. I highly recommend coming here for piercings! Tip: if you do come in for a piercing, take the staircase to the right of the entrance and head to the second floor. That's where they do the piercings. read more

I am very impressed. Tatoo parlors can feel a little intimidating to walk into. But based on the reviews, I went in one evening. The piercing studio is upstairs and feels very open well lit and welcoming. Karen was my piercer, and she really knew what she was doing. I got a belly button piercing and it went smooth and was almost painless hehe. She disinfected the piercing table after the person before me left and before I got on the table. She then sterilized the piercing area and explained what w were going to do, then guided me through my breathing. Fabulous I'll be back for other piercings now read more

I love 713. They're open late for walk-ins with quality artists working. I've gotten work done by Matt B and Big Gabe and they're both great artists. Come get you some work done. Awesome shop vibe and esthetics. read more

I searched high and low to find a piercer to replace my belly button ring and I took a chance with 713 after seeing the reviews. I stopped by on a rainy Thursday and got seen by Izzy (spell check). She was so patient with me as I contemplated between the emerald 14k gold belly ring, or the titanium ones. I settled on the 14k gold as it's an investment, along with a lifetime warranty. Yes it was pricy but definitely worth it. Harvey replaced my ring for me within minutes and was so careful and had such a gentle touch. Almost made me want to get a piercing. I recommend 713 if you're looking for professional, polite and kind employees to take care of you. Also, when you call them to inquire about prices, STOP BEING RUDE AND HANGING UP IN THEIR FACES. I witnessed two people do that to Izzy while I was there and that's so disgusting. These people are just doing their job. If you don't like the price, just say, "ok, thank you" and then hang up. Anyway, check them out for all your needs! read more

Karen was a great piercer! Everyone made me and my friends feel so comfortable and welcome!
