What Locals Say About New Orleans Tattoo Shops
“Edited after: Adding a star after they offered to touch it up. While it wasn't my intent to get a free touch up, I GREATLY appreciate it & think it speaks volumes to guarantee your work....even 3 years later. Ok so kind of a mixed review & I'll preface with saying: my two visits here were like 2 years apart. I came with friends while visiting in 2022 (I think) and got a get whatcha get from the machine tattoo. I don't have the highest expectations when I do these (its not my first or last lol) & its usually a commemorative, travel mommento of sorts. Its one of my lesser favorites though. I don't remember a ton about the artist so he very well may have moved on or just been visiting but the tattoo itself is a bit blown out & upside down lol that is somewhat my fault too, I suppose as I OK'd it 😂 but the more I looked after it was def supposed to be the other direction. HOWEVER, I came for a piercing after moving to the area last year and it was an amazing experience! I mean, it hurt....but when a needle goes through your skin its gonna hurt. But the HEALING process has been amazing as someone with notoriously bad luck with piercings! Can't share pics as it's in a 🤫 area but the piercer was super professional, helpful, knowledgeable, and put me at ease despite the intimate location. Pic is from recently, so 3 years old now. One best friend got some finer line tarot tattoos from another artist that turned out well, aside from her allergy to the wrap. And my other best friend got a piercing as well, same location, and had nothing but positive experiences with the shop & healing process 😊”
“My sister took me here to get two nose piercings for my birthday by Brenna! She did such a great job. She was extremely compassionate, understanding, and patient. It was absolutely the best experience I could ask for from a piercer. The placement was exactly what I wanted. Brenna also didn’t mind taking the time to make sure the placements were perfect for my sister. She did so good that my sister decided to get her ears pierced too! The jewelry was included in the service & she offers a free change of jewelry after the healing period is over. Basically you buy some jewelry from The Jewelry Bar & then she will change the piercings for you for free! My piercings & my sister’s piercings are healing wonderfully. I have absolutely NO complaints at all. I’ll 100% be booking with Brenna again!! 10000/10 experience!!!”
“I had an amazing experience getting pierced at Hell or High Water in New Orleans! I had planned on getting another ear piercing for my birthday this year. Since I was heading to New Orleans with my Bestie for a little vacay, I figured why not getting my piercings while there. I did extensive research on piercers in New Orleans and finally seattled on Hell or High Water. From the moment I walked in, the shop had a clean, professional, and welcoming vibe. My piercer, Oxygen, was INCREDIBLE —super knowledgeable, patient, and made me feel completely comfortable throughout the process. The procedure was quick, precise, and much less intimidating than I expected thanks to Oxygen’s professionalism and calming energy. If you’re considering a piercing in New Orleans, I would DEFINITELY recommend Oxygen for all your piercing needs. You’ll be in great hands!”
