Cold Desert Tattoo Studio

The owner, Robin, was very nice and helpful with getting me a same day session. My artist was Charlie. This was the cleanest tattoo shop I've seen, and I am more than thrilled with my tattoo. It is perfect. I got an amazing price! It also was my first time going alone and I felt comfortable and welcome the entire time. Thanks so much!

Ps- don't forget to tip your artist ♥️

I’ve had 3 artists work on my human canvas. They all came from Fat Mermaid and now Cold Desert WM is Blessed to have them. Thanks to Erica Dean (former owner of Fat Mermaid that was forced to close due to Covid-19), I was introduced to and worked on by each of the artists.

Hermit is Freaking Amazing and has done 1 remarkable coverup and is in the process of doing a 2nd coverup now. He’s a very likable person and extremely talented!

BEXX is another Amazing Artist with a light hand and excellent skill set! She is very kind, likable and thoughtful! She did my ❤️’s names and my NOTW ink work.

Absolutely a wonderful place to go to! Service was amazing and everyone was super friendly! My tattoo artist Fia did an amazing job! Definitely will be back!

I first went to the shop on Hwy 80 in west Monroe, but they were booked. I really wanted my tattoo on that day bc it was 1 month since my brother committed suicide and I wanted the tattoo in memory of him. The young lady at the front desk called their shop in Monroe and Caleb had an opening. I went over and he was so great. He did the exact tattoo I wanted...it's perfect! I would totally recommend either shop to anyone. They do have a policy of $100 minimum, but it's worth it and they have to get paid for their time...the same as anybody else. Besides if I want a tattoo I would rather pay somebody to do excellent work and they deliver. Caleb was awesome!

Mediocre at best, and way over priced. Based on what I paid for the 20 minutes of work (including prep and clean up, the actual tattooing was maybe 6 minutes), the hourly rate must be about $450 plus tip. Obviously there is a shop minimum, but this was pretty ridiculous. Bait and switch pricing on an addition that I wanted, way outside of the range I was originally told - nothing had changed between quotes.
Would have gone somewhere else once I came in and saw how the experience was going to go if it didn’t need it to be done on that day.
Two stars because it seemed to be sufficiently clean.

got the prettiest neo traditional tattoo from reid, this shop is really cool ! the workers there are so funny & helpful & they also this cool thing where they have tattoos in a gumball machine and you get a random tattoo of whatever u pulled for $50

It took a while but they were very detailed in their sterilization of the equipment and explaining the process of the piercing and also the care it was a good experience

I went in to get some piercings at Cold Desert Tattoo in West Monroe, LA. The young lady doing the piercings was either very inexperienced or just didn’t care. My ear became so infected that I couldn’t touch it. I went back a few days later to have them remove the piercing, to which they charged another $50 for THEIR mistake. I had to go to the doctor which cost $80, meds cost another $85. So for the total mistake of using this place to get a couple of piercings, I lost around $300. Unless you are getting just your lobes done, I would use someone else. Even then, I personally would use someone else. This was probably the worst experience I’ve had in a while when it comes to customer service!!

Very professional service for piercing my little one's ears. Very hygienic and my daughter's ears didnt swell at all compared to Claire's and their inaccurate job that they did prior to coming here. Paying a bit more to have it done right.

Don't have a piercer until certain days which they fail to tell you
