It has been a month since I got my tattoo and it was amazing. It was very short notice for my 18th birthday and Tracy B. was such a blessing! she was very easy to communicate with and even easier to set an appointment up with! the shop itself is clean and orderly and everyone is so nice! The tattoo itself didn’t take that long (only one hour) and it’s healed up perfectly! the aftercare aid was so helpful and i’ll definitely go back again for future tattoos!

Just walked in with a fairly simple request and was rudely turned away over a font dispute. The lady at the front desk wasn’t helpful and it felt like she just wanted us out of the shop. She turned away an easy $200

This is one of the best tattoo shops in NOLA. I'm working on a sleeve now with Tracy and she's done another tattoo for me before. Tracy and all the artists there are talented and professional, the studio also has a welcoming, clean, and friendly atmosphere. I can't recommend Tracy individually enough, she can do literally anything. I'm getting all of my tattoos from her in the foreseeable future. The shop also takes walk-ins!

Me and my friend had a great tattoo experience here. The girl at the counter (I think her name was Reese) was incredibly helpful and made sure we had all the information we needed and even gave honest, insightful suggestions. Our artist Cameron was very patient with all of our questions and helped us revise and settle on a great design and did a solid job. Everyone here was polite and professional.

BILLY did such an incredible job! I walked in and had such a quick consultation, and came in the next day for my appointment. Seeing his drawing blew me away, I was so amazed at the vision we shared after talking for just 5 mins. The tattoo went surprisingly fast, he was not heavy handed and he was completely into the little suggestions I had for color/shading. I still can't get over how much more beautiful the tattoo was than I could even imagine. Favorite tat, favorite tat experience.

Decided to get a tattoo and was recommended to stop here. Everyone was super friendly. No long wait they got to it real quick. 3 of us got tatoos and they worked super fast. If ever in the area stop by they do an amazing job.

Went to this tattoo show a few months back and ended up with a misprinted up tattoo.. I went in before a night out and when I told them what I wanted they typed it up correctly. However, I ask for multiple reprints in various sizes and fonts and somewhere within the reprints they left out a letter. I was feeling severely rushed through the whole process and was given major attitude for trying to get the right size and font! Tattoos are a major commitment and you deserve patience through the whole process. I should have backed out when I saw how eager they were to get me in and out, no wonder why they have you sign a waiver to not sue.

Made an appointment with Pauly, and he definitely exceeded my expectations! I told him what I wanted, and he even prepared other drawings of what he thought would be nice. His line work and shading is the amazing! Such a sweet guy too! Great experience

Unfortunately the front desk employee was very rude and mean. Shaking her head, talking about us to other staff. We would have walked out the way Melissa treated us but they had our fifty dollar deposit. We love NOLA for all the friendly people we meet! Not here! She was the rudest person I have ever met in New Orleans. Horrible experience!

Came in for a tattoo while on vacation based on a recommendation from a local tour guide. Very fast, friendly and professional! Will be back if I'm ever back in town. Top notch tattoo experience from Terry.
