"Downtown Tattoos & Piercings opened its doors to Frenchmen Street in June of 2012. The shop is owned by Terry Brown, a seasoned artist that has over 20 years of experience tattooing all across the country, along with his lovely wife Hayley Waldner. Besides sharing a passion for tattoo, Terry and Hayley are entrepreneurs at heart, and they jumped at the chance to create the optimal tattoo experience when the corner space on Frenchmen St. became available. In Downtown Tattoos, Hayley and Terry have created an atmosphere that makes one feel as though the shop has been around forever.

AMAZING EVERYTHING. Jim is extremely amazing at his craft. He is also a really chill and fun conversationalist. This place is clean, well organized and you can tell everyone loves working here. Had the best experience ever! It was my first time getting tatted. Highly recommend and would definitely come back! I love my first tattoo ever!

I have been coming to Downtown Tattoo’s for Almost 3 years now and definitely the best tattoo shop I have had the experience to deal with. Terry do a full sleeve cover for me and when we were done with that one we moved on to my other arm and his work is one of a kind could not be anymore happier with the out come. My daughter had Jim tattoo her and she loved the experience and already wants him to do more on her. Terry is now working on a memorial piece on my wife’s shoulder for her mom and she is blown away by the detail he is putting into her piece. I highly recommend everybody to go to Downtown Tattoo’s all there artist do amazing work and they treat everyone like family.

The Shop not only accommodated our party of eight from out of town, but my tattoo is beautiful. The delicate lines are perfect and I can't thank Henry enough for working to make sure I got just what I wanted and tattooing my piece so beautifully! Can't recommend Downtown Tattoo enough!!

I went here a couple of weeks ago to get a tattoo for my first trip to NOLA. Great staff! I saw Jim. He was very knowledgeable and went through the sizing and placement of tattoo to make it perfect and it is! He is very professional and took his time. Didn't really hurt. Took time to go through after care for tattoo. It is healing great and looks awesome. I get a lot of compliments on the work and vibrance of the black ink. Definitely coming here again next time I'm in NOLA!

My partner and I planned all year for the tattoos we were going to get on our trip to NOLA together. We booked in advance and we were super excited! Come the day of, we specifically made sure not to drink before the appointment. She got there early and the receptionist told her she can go to a nearby bar until her apointment time, my partner had half a beer. Later, it felt like the artist did not feel like having a conversation with her about what she was looking to have done (the beginning of a whole leg piece) he accused her of being intoxicated and would not tattoo her... he was cocky with a "Rockstar" attitude and wanted to do what he wanted. They also kept the down payment... free money. Btw, I was there too and told them she was not drunk when they pulled me aside and asked me ifshe was.
Edit: If this was a review about my tattoo and Terry, I would give it 5 stars. It's a review of our experience and Jim's attitude toward the most important person to me. We couldn't get married this year like we planned to, the tattoos were our way of still making that commitment to eachother; getting permanent tattoos that represented one another... but she left empty. As for proof, judgment of her personality is not proof of intoxication... unless a blood alcohol test was completed without consent or you followed her to the bar with a camera and recorded her consuming more than the one drink she said she had, it is not proof, it is an allegation. Threats of publically posting what would be out of context videos to make us look bad, just furthers my sentiment of our experience and Downtown Tattoo's business ethics.

Really fun shop. Hailey at reception is an absolute kick! All the tattoo artists are really talented, and they were really cool about us rescheduling our tattoos due to hangover.
Jason did a great job, and our voodoo crawfish are going to be a fun memory of our trip to Nola!

So my GF wanted to get a gumball machine tattoo from here so we stayed a night in NOLA to do so. 10/10 everything about this place. I got a light bulb out of the machine. My artist, Jeremy, asked to throw some color on my bulb and break the glass. Free hand he just added the details. For a $100 tattoo I am very pleased. I will be back

Bree was fantastic! Kind, professional, high standards and ethics—and fun. Wish I lived there—would be a repeat customer. Highly recommend!

My mom and I did a walk in at 6pm on a Monday and we were both able to get tattoos during our trip to NOLA! They turned out AMAZING! Bianca does such great work :)

Everyone is super nice and the artists tailor their work to you (as they should!). I felt super welcomed there and it’s clear that there’s so much love at the shop and that the artists are all willing to help each-other out. They did my consultation one day and tattoo the next even with me reaching out the day before. My idea was executed perfectly and further than my expectations. I couldn’t recommend them enough, super excited to go back next time I’m in town!
