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."

Highly recommended, I came from out of town Florida. Was looking to get something small simple that wouldn’t cost me an arm and a leg but also great work. This was definitely the place! Not only that but the front desk girl Alissa (super nice and helpful) and huge shout out to Jim for my beautiful lettering!! Thank you downtown tattoo!

Jim worked with me to design an amazing tattoo! I went in with an idea that was kind of okay, and he asked me to explain why I wanted that. He suggested a much better idea and got my input on colors and types of flowers. When I questioned one of his design elements, he showed me what it would look like with the replacement I suggested. He was right; it looked weird. In the end, I got something way more beautiful than I expected that really captured the reason I wanted the tattoo in the first place. I’m glad he stuck with his artistic vision, and I don’t feel like he pressured me to get anything I didn’t want. On top of that, I’ve gotten tons of compliments from strangers on the street!

Got a tattoo done today by Billy and it turned out amazing! He was really helpful suggesting placement, fine details, and sticking to my budget. Also talked to Bree about some piercings and jewelry and she was very informative and kind. Shop is clean, all the staff are really nice, and were maintaining proper social distancing, sanitizing, & mask procedures. Definitely recommend Downtown! 😄

Angie Gustafson

I really enjoy this place. It's clean and staff are fairly friendly. Be prepared to show/email them a picture of what you're looking for when you get here. Walk-ins are usually welcome at most times, but be patient if they ask you to wait. My favorite is their $80 "You Get What You Roll" flash tattoos. Check it out.

Jenna Rolla

The epitome of professionalism. Great vibes, highly talented artists, and one of the cleanest tattoo shops in New Orleans. Highly recommend Downtown Tattoos. You will NOT regret it. Thanks again Terry.
