Best Tattoo Shops In New Orleans

“Chopper did my Interview with the Vampire quote tattoo and he was awesome! Very detail-oriented, making sure I won't need to come back for any touch-ups. The information on after-care was already written down and very thorough, which is SO appreciated, having forgotten details before in the excitement of a new tattoo.“

“The space is clean and staff is friendly. I’ve been twice - once after losing my nose ring and once after losing my belly ring - and each time I was greeted warmly and had all my needs taken care of without an appointment. Getting new jewelry only took a few minutes, but jewelry is kind of pricey. Today, I got a silver belly ring ($40) and had the color customized ($10). If you’re driving, be prepared to pay for parking.“

“Rafaela is hands down the best. Her vibes are great, ive never felt so comfortable in someone's chair. Her art is stunning!“

“Jackie did the most wonderful amazing piece I could have ever asked for! This was my very first tattoo and I’m so pleased with it. The atmosphere of the shop was so clean and welcoming. I’m planning my next tattoo from Jackie sometime soon! Cant wait to see yall again. They are worth every penny! ❤️☺️❤️“

“Pigment is an awesome shop to get tattooed at. All of the staff was very friendly, they were clean, and did a great job on our tattoos when we walked in. JW did our tattoos and he was very detailed with our design and was very nice through the whole process. Would definitely come back for another tattoo if we were in town again. Highly recommend.“

“Maddie did an excellent job, very nice and willing to work with you to make your idea come to life. She is easygoing to where you can talk to her for hours, keeping you company. She makes sure you are comfortable and able to handle the pain of getting a tattoo.“

“I’m from Pa, went for vacation to New Orleans summer of 2024. Called 2 weeks ahead to make an appointment & they did all they could to accommodate me into the schedule. I talked to Pablo, sent a pic of what I wanted (HIGH PRIESTESS taro card), he took that image & made it his own. & I LOVE IT! He also worked w/ me for pricing. I told him my limit & he made it work. He is by far the most artistic, friendly, comforting, chill, interesting, & creative tattoo artist I’ve come across. I have met my fair share of tat artists too no doubt. I would ABSOLUTELY have him tattoo me again. He talked w/ me the ENTIRE 2hours it took for him to finish. I peppered him w/ questions about life (just to pass time, I’m the chatty type) & he not once gave attitude or showed annoyance. It’s been about a year now & I’ve inspected, stared & admired my tattoo LOTS & there’s not a single fault. PABLO IS BADASS AWESOME.“

“Tom is the man! He came off very friendly, I was seen soon after I arrived, i got my nostrils re-pierced. The process was quick and easy and they look great! Grateful to Nola Ink, ill be back for sure.??“

“A close friend has gotten several tattoos from Jeremy Justice (working on 3/4 sleeves) and he agreed to do a quick flash tattoo for me and one for my wife on a recent visit. We both got fleur de lis tattoos which came out much better than I expected. Mine is purple, green and gold (mardi Gras colors) and is very well shaded. The shading makes the green portions look like they have real depth and roundness, and the gold band holding the petals together is a nice pop to the otherwise darker-toned tattoo. Very clean facility, talented artist and reasonably priced. (My wife's fleur de lis was black and gray but still had some really nice shading so that the petals look like they have depth.) Would love to get more tattoos here.“

“Amazing experience at Neon Moon. Mal was very thorough in explaining their process and how everything worked (it was my first tattoo). I will definitely be back. The studio is calming, welcoming, and very clean.“

“Y'all looking for tattoos at a great price come to Orleans ink uptown nola tell me tee sent u . thank me later“

“I just had the most AMAZING experience at Artist Lodge getting a tattoo done by Amber. She was professional, nice, funny, and is so very talented. She put so much care into my personalized piece and designed a tattoo that felt very true to who I am and what I wanted. This was my first tattoo, she worked quickly, and the lines and shading were sooooo neat. I’m so in love with this piece and will be back for more!The tattoo parlor itself is very clean, and has a very laidback and comfortable feel. Check them out!“
