Dom and Olivia are some of the most kind and chill tattoo artists Ive ever had the pleasure of getting a tattoo from. The vibe is right. The art is right. I’m simply in love with them.

Couldn't have been a more pleasurable experience. Dom and the team are so nice, open minded, and creative and worked to get the tattoo where I was beyond happy with it

Great atmosphere! The artists were all very friendly and welcoming. It felt like walking into a small town coffee shop where everyone knew each other and loved meeting new people.
Jojo did an amazing job on my piece and was very professional, even showing the expiration date on the needle before opening it.
I highly recommend and will definitely return.

I reserved a tattoo party with Dom and Jojo to commemorate our wedding weekend and they made our first tattoos THE MOST INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE! You can absolutely trust them when they say they won't steer you wrong. They worked with us individually to draw all the art by hand and communication with photos ahead of time was a breeze. They were so detailed and particular with everything from shading, colors, placement (took stencils off and on as many times as we needed), and were meticulous about cleanliness and expiration dates. They even had a king cake for us! My whole family was so impressed by the beautiful results and we will treasure our tattoos always. Thank you so much Dom and Jojo! Y'all killed it! Our first experience but it won't be the last. If you are considering booking, you found the right place.

I had visited this shop a few times although not many. I can say the few times I’ve been there it was very welcoming! The shop is small but it makes the experience more intimate and get to your artist well. The shop is always cleaned and sanitized and I occasionally hear the shop owner, Dom, make sure of that with his artists. It’s definitely freeing to know that your tattoo whether it’s right then and there or booked in advance is in a sanitary place that practices up to date protocols. They have a new artist currently in apprenticeship, Silvia, who is talented in her work in being a tattoo artist although just starting out with a needle. Her work isn’t tip-top perfection (as we shouldn’t expect it to be in apprenticeship!) is looked after by Dom making sure everything is done well and up to standard. Silvia’s work is still very good and I would definitely get a tattoo from her next time I’m ready to have a needle to my skin again haha. I’ve met Olivia once and she is very open and talkative and certainly makes me feel welcome. Being at a tattoo shop I’ve shown them a tattoo I’ve gotten previously at another shop and their responses were very positive and not demeaning of the other shop which I can appreciate. They also offer free new orleans coffee, who doesn’t love that?! Occasionally they have ‘underground’ artists come to their shop after hours and perform a show that’s open to the public as well. I would definitely recommend anyone to book with them or even stop by for a small chat if you’re just curious about them
My friends and I wanted to get matching tattoos and decided on this shop because of all the good reviews here. Just wanted to share our experience so someone else doesn't make the same mistake.
We wanted a fine-line rose, and saw that one of their artists, Olivia, seemed to specialize in fine-line work. So we reached out MULTIPLE times to see if we could book with her. After not getting any reply through e-mail, voicemail, calls-we booked with Dom and sent over details on what we wanted and it didn't seem to be an issue. Olivia eventually got back to us a couple days before our appt saying she had another appointment that day but that we were in good hands with Dom rather than attempting to engage in accommodating our request of artist as we were flexible and informed her of this.
When we arrived, there was what seemed like a newer artist checking us in and asking about the image and sizing and placements. We wanted it pretty small (about 2 inches) and were told that she could not do it that small, and if we wanted it that small Dom would have to do it… We were confused because we thought we booked with Dom, his name was on our booking. He said he brought her in specifically to do ours because “we wanted a girl”. We didn't care about the gender and had just requested Olivia earlier because of her work on Instagram. We were confused and felt bad that this artist came in specifically to do us that day.
He then went on to give us a hard time about questions we asked (for a couple of us it was our first tattoo and we were excited/nervous). One of us was trying to decide between a couple of different placements and asked to see the stencil placed there and was told they couldn't do that because they hand draw the stencil.
Finally, we get to the tattoos... There are 4 of us that wanted to get this matching simple rose.... We’ll just attach a picture and let them speak for themselves. They all look different and nothing like the picture we asked for. There are weird im

My husband and I have been to countless tattoo shops all over the country. This by FAR has been our best experience. Dominic and his staff are absolutely 💯 👌. It was my birthday weekend and they even surprised me with a cake. How cool is that??? They are just wonderful people and we felt we were right where we were supposed to be. Their work is outstanding and we can't wait to come here to see them again. Trust me. Book your next tattoo here.

My wife and I have been to many tattoo artists as we travel. This is has been our best experience of any. Dominic is an extremely talented artist and was even nice enough to get my wife a birthday cake. How can a place have so many 5 star reviews? Now we know. We came as customers, we left as friends. If you are in the New Orleans area
, i can't recommend this place enough. We will absolutely be back to see Dominic and Sill for another tattoo. Simply wonderful people.

I went with my friend who was getting a tattoo and honestly great service. Everyone there made us feel comfortable. They all gave off positive vibes and were very easy to talk to. Dominic did a great job doing my friend’s tattoo and Big Sil was amazing with the care and preparation. Definitely check them out.

My sisters and I all got tattoos here with the amazing Jojo and they turned out so cute! We booked one of their tattoo parties. Everyone was super kind and professional. They showed us the needles in the packaging, expiration dates and even though it was a small tattoo let us try different placements so we knew we would love it. Thank you Jojo and Catahoula tattoo! We will definitely be back and you should go too!

Can't say enough good things about the experience with Dom, Dakota, and my artist, known only as Big Sil. The folks in this place couldn't possibly be more inviting, talented, and entertaining. And yes, the coffee is great too. Looking forward to the next one at Catahoula!

From Dominic’s patient and helpful suggestions to Dakota (our artist) this was an exceptional experience. The shop is welcoming with a laid back vibe. Dakota did my work along with my best friend who was getting her first tattoo. I cannot say enough good things about Dakota and her work. She created exactly the design I wanted and her gradient color was amazing. She also has very “light hand” which made the whole session easy and engaging. Loved the whole crew and thrilled with Dakota in particular.
