From the business
"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. They are heavily involved with their community, and they love to hold fun events to help them connect with and contribute to the people and causes around them."

Josh Bodwell is incredible. You can't find a better artist to do the color tattoo you are looking for. Can't wait to get back to N.O. Thank you brother

My bestie and I got matching tats here from Kevin that turned out PHENOMENAL! Service was fast, but not rushed! Definitely highly recommend!

Downtown Tattoos was lovely! Me and my mother came in as walkins inquiring about getting matching fleur des lis but in different spots. The man behind the counter was lovely- they had availability but ultimately we decided we wanted to schedule for 2 days later. We were booked with Jim, and when we got there he was unbelievably sweet. He took our inspiration photos and was able to combine and draw up a beautiful linework art deco fleur des lis based off of our inspo pics. He was open and honest about his concerns for ensuring evenness of the fleur dea lis, and legibility. I got my fleur des lis on my sternum, and he applied the stencil over and over again until it was completely straight and even. The line work on the tattoo is BEAUTIFUL, it is unbelievably straight and even. The photo doesnt do it justice as my camera angle is a bit wonky, but the placement is absolutely perfect. Me and my mom cannot recommend downtown tattoos or Jim enough!

First time here working w Josh for what is going to be a Star Wars themed leg sleeve... staff was courteous, took my personal well-being in to consideration and worked with me to make this happen. Will be back in this city to do more work, hopefully sooner, rather than later.

Loved our experience. There was a mix up on artists but they were able to make it work no problem! Super clean, professional and friendly place to go. Shawn and kevin fit my friend and I in today and we’re so appreciative! Love our tattoos!

Absolutely amazing Experience, it was my first tattoo and I was a bit nervous. They made me feel at home, and I felt totally comfortable during the whole process. Terry took his time and positioned the tattoo in the perfect spot and it came out better than I could ever imagine. My wife had the same excellent service. We would highly recommend this spot, and would honestly not go anywhere else. (even being out of state).

I went in for my first tattoo with Jim, I had some details that I hadn’t yet worked out that I wanted to ask him about. He was so honest and up front about how the tattoo I wanted would heal and what we would need to do to make it last. In the end, I decided I needed to think on the design more before going forward with it and didn’t get tattooed. However, I couldn’t have asked for a better artist than Jim, I appreciated his honesty so much! Even though I didn’t leave with a tattoo, I would recommend anyone to Jim!

When life is lifing - get you a get whatcha get tattoo - and have great conversations with Jim.

Every time I come to #NewOrleans I make an appointment with Mr. Terry. He never fails to somehow capture EXACTLY what I’m wanting but unable to articulate. Haley handles all the phones & walk-ins with kindness, humor and somehow keeps everything running smoothly. Amazing talent here - make an appointment to make sure you can get in, although they take walk-in’s, you’ll want to get your work done here. I live in Minnesota but will only get inked here. 💕⚜️💕

Awesome experience getting a 5x5 piece done by Tracy. Took her 4 hours to complete my new piece and I couldn’t have ask for a more gentle hand. Her ability to bring your vision to life is just as precise as her line work! Fair pricing, easy to get to location, clean shop, and very easy to communicate with prior to going into the shop. Would
Highly recommend!
