Freddy Corbin
Corbin has been tattooing for over three decades and specializes in black-and-grey art, ranging from lettering to religious iconography. Along with artist Scott Sylvia, he is credited with popularizing the Mexican-inspired sugar skull tattoos. He imprints Jesus, the Virgin Mary, sacred hearts, and crosses on his clients’ bodies with fine-line precision and beauty. Corbin is the owner of the famous Oakland tattoo parlors Temple Tattoo (founded in 1998) and Tattoo 13 (founded in 2000), which have brought a lot of excitement to the city and offered work for permanent as well as international guest artists.
