We Built Temple 13 For You
Freddy Corbin is a Bay Area artist who began tattooing in 1987 in San Francisco’s Lower Haight. After working at Ed Hardy’s Realistic Studio and Tattoo City, he set out to bring quality tattooing to Oakland by opening Temple Tattoo 13 in 1998, followed by Tattoo 13 in 2000. In 2025, Freddy decided to merge both shops into one larger, upgraded space with a single goal: to provide high-quality tattooing in all styles, in a clean, professional, and welcoming environment. With over 100 years of combined experience among our artists, we’re proud to serve Oakland’s finest.
