Eyecandy Tattoos

I am from Colorado and my idea for a tattoo was last minute. I emailed Markus and even though he had a very busy schedule, he fit me in. Once we had scheduling done, I sent him a few pictures and within a couple hours, he had drawn up an amazing piece of art. I mean it was incredible with how short of time we had. I went the appointment and everyone in the shop was super nice and had their own super cool personalities. Markus was super helpful and did an awesome job on the tat. It came out better than what I was expecting.

Awesome experience, great staff, beauty shop. I walked in and was greeted warmly by a member of the staff named Markus who showed me around and walked me through some of the flashes. I ultimately picked a traditional style painting he had done, and I couldn’t be happier with it. Markus was stoked to do the painting and was very understanding with placement and pricing, and made it happen. Got to watch a few of the other artists at work while waiting to get set up, and I will absolutely be back again for more work.

I am so grateful to Markus for such an accurate outcome of the tattoo I had been envisioning for over a year.. my friend and I walked in last minute and we explained what we wanted. Markus was able to draw up exactly what I had in mind and I’m just so happy with how it turned out. I was also very impressed with how clean and sterile everything was. Quite a production of set up and tear down between tattoos that really spoke to how well done they are. Thank you so much Markus!! I will probably fly back to New Orleans and find you when I want to add to this in the future!!

Great experience, great people, and great environment! I got my first tattoo done by Markus. I walked in with a picture of large tattoo, but did not want it nearly that big. He got it to the perfect size, and it was still what I wanted. I was nervous over everything, and he made me feel much more relaxed from the very beginning. He was easy to work with through the whole process. He was gentle, and it didn't hurt like I imagined .Everyone was really nice, even the other customers. I would definitely go back to Markus, and I recommend him for your next tattoo!

Came into town to visit and was looking for a shop for matching tattoos with 2 of my sisters. Marcus was great and was amazing with all 3 of us. He listened to what we wanted and was sure to work with us. The shop was nice with great artwork on the walls and friendly artists. Marcus did an amazing job and gave us exactly what we were wanting. Thank you soo much!!!

this shop was very nice and there was so much art to look at! The artists were very polite and attentive. My artist, Markus Bankhead, does amazing work and I’m always happy with my tattoos that he does! markus is passionate about his work and will go out of his way to make sure you’re happy with your tattoo! I will continue to go to this shop for sure.

Super awesome shop! Tons of amazing artwork to look at while you wait. My artist was Markus. I’ve gone to him before and will be going again for the next one. This time he did an amazing tattoo of Jinx, my pet cat. I absolutely love it! Best birthday ever! I absolutely recommend this shop and definitely recommend getting your work done by Markus!

TLDR; Markus is incredible. I went in to get a piece done on my spine. The place was incredibly cool looking an clean, and they had various safety measures in place because of COVID. Markus was incredibly patient in working on getting the piece exactly the way I wanted, and was knowledgeable about what the best size and position would be for my tattoo. Considering I went to him without doing a consultation beforehand, he worked quickly and diligently on the design. After two hours and an Usher album I walked away with an incredibly beautiful piece on my back. I hope to work with Markus again!

Spacious and clean location. Amazing selection of some of the best tattoo artists in the South, much less the city. They offer a wide variety of styles and specialties. I go to Randy, my boyfriend goes to Jordan. I have a piece that's almost 15-years-old and hasn't needed a touch-up. They're good at working with you on your custom designs until you're completely satisfied, and offer advice and helpful suggestions/tips. Randy's always been very thorough with aftercare instructions, too. They are following COVID protocols for Orleans Parish, so call for an appt.

My friend and I were fortunate enough to walk in on a Saturday afternoon and connect with Markus. My request was simple but particular, and he was able to work with me till the design and color were precisely what I desired. His workspace was impeccably sterile. Given that my request was so simple (a triangle), the stakes were actually quite high, since even the smallest imperfection would be very visible. There were no imperfections. Though I’m sure he’s capable of artwork far more complex than what he created for me, I can personally attest to his mastery of the fundamentals. Plus he was kind, patient, and had a good sense of humor. My friend and I were each thrilled with his work.
