Downtown Tattoos and Piercing

Dylan did a great job of fitting me in for a decent sized tattoo on extremely short notice. He achieved my vision excellently and I'm so happy with the finished piece! Everyone in the shop was helpful and welcoming and pricing was reasonable.

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 😊

Everyone was very patient and friendly! It made me feel super calm!

Update: I revisited Downtown tattoo with my fiance. Another wonderful experience with Dylan and Kevin! I would highly recommend Jeremy if you are into fine line, black and white tattoos, which are his specialty! He took his Time to make sure every aspect of the tattoo exceeded expectations. He made a 4+ hour tattoo experience easy to sit through as he kept the conversation moving the whole time. Asked to sit facing the window so you can watch all the pedestrians tripping on the curb as they walk by; it’s hilarious and takes your mind off of the pain!

I’d give this shop 100 stars if you’d let me. Whole experience was flawless. Dylan is amazing. I have a lot of tattoos and his touch is superior. He did my large shin piece in 1.5 hours. Like cmon! Dude is fast and flawless. The staff was so kinda and warm, you can tell they all really gel and work as a team, kudos to the whole gang. I’m in LOVE with this piece, it was born out of a really hard season and it was beautiful to hurt one more time and be left with something so beautiful to heal. ❤️‍🩹 i can’t thank you enough Dylan, seriously. Thank you. I’ll be back for that cardinal❣️

Great experience! Jim was awesome - detailed, gentle and pretty pain-free, excellent conversationalist, and really talented! Thanks for a perfect memory of a fantastic vacation!

Kevin and staff were very polite, warm and knowledgeable. Kevin did an awesome job, he brought my vision to life! Awesome job!!!

Amazing shop with an amazing vibe and super friendly and talented artists. Erick is amazing, very talented, and holds great conversation. He did great on my large forearm fern, which is my first large tattoo. Price was also super reasonable! They have tons of cool flash as well. Would not hesitate to come back in the future and definitely recommend this shop to anyone looking for a sick tattoo.

Got my first tattoo here. 1000/10 would get another one done here

It's my favorite place to get a tattoo in the South. Always accommodating and friendly! They always put up with me being a walk-in. Very knowledgeable for tattoos and piercings. Never mind driving the hour and a half to get work done! If you are in New Orleans, it's definitely the place to go!! Erick did an amazing job with my tattoo, and Heather did an amazing job with my husband's piercings!
