Best Tattoo Shops In New Orleans

“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!“

“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! ❤️☺️❤️“

“Lil Nicky and Chelsie absolutely killed it on both my and my partner’s tattoos. So happy with how they turned out. Respectful, talented, great vibes all around. Took us as walk in’s on a Saturday! We were done and dusted within the hour. 100% recommend - 10/10 💯“

“Incredible work by incredible people. Thanks for making something so important to us happen!
These tattoos symbolized our serious love for each other, myself being terminally ill, my husband decided it was time for his first tattoo! Josh and Chloe understood the assignment perfectly!“

“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.“

“Went tonight with a friend for the second time and got an amazing tattoo from Shaun. Talked to another artist named Walt as well. All employees were more than friendly and professional. I had a great time and will return for more!“

“Got an AMAZING forearm piece done by Richard! This man has such a wide range of tattoo styles, and gave me exactly what I asked for. Great guy, big heart, super funny and overall made my first time experience to Nola unforgettable. I was so surprised with Richard's quick response time on social media regarding my appointment, you dont see that these days, and most artists book for months in advance. He was able to squeeze me in with the short time frame I had available for the remainder of my vacation, and even moved my apt up 2 days earlier after he had a client reschedule with him. I'm so stoked to show off his work, and even more hopeful to see him in the future for my next visit down here from Baltimore. Thanks so so much Richard <3 keep kicking butt! Best of luck with everything.“

“Pretty sketchy to be be honest. You have to ring a door bell just to get in. For those reasons alone we just left. Not very inviting“

“Clean shop, good vibes, fair pricing. Bobby is a great artist and I enjoyed working with him on creating a personal piece. Highly recommended!“

“Great service
Fast
We got something small to remember our visit to New Orleans.“

“Saved my daughter at 1:15am after she lost her ball on her tounge piercing. Knew exactly what she needed and sanitized it before giving it to her. Friendly guy!“

“Some friends and I dropped in during our ladies day last sunday. We decided we wanted to get matching tattoos and they took great care of us. Thanks again!!“

“5 stars! Shop was clean, artists were friendly and professional. And the tattoo work was amazing. This is a destination place and totally worth stepping outside the downtown area. We will be back!“

“Kiley was cool. They really did an amazing job and made me feel comfortable with my “mom” tattoo. Love you Kiley. Hope I spelled your name right.. Kiley heard me and is very talented! Thanks boo!
This picture is literally right after so I will post the results in a few weeks. I LOVE MY FIRST TATTOO“

“Hayden is the best! I came in with a vague idea of something and her design blew me away! True artistry. Cant wait to keep coming back!“

“Miranda is the best person to get tattooed by! I’ve gotten several tattoos from her at this point and she kills it every time! I take my ideas to her and she brings them to life in custom pieces. Not only is she an exceptional artist she is also one of the kindest and most patient people I know. Definitely check out her instagram closeknittattoos for her booking information.“

“I came to see the tattoo museum, but it is no longer here. The person who had the items took them with him when he left. The guy working was very friendly and informative.“

“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.??“

“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!“
