Best Tattoo Shops inNew Orleans

“This was an amazing experience. I've been on multiple occasions. I always leave happy. The artists explain everything, what will take place, and what to do after. Highly recommend checking it out.”

“Got a sleeve done and had 8 hours done in one session. The tattoo looks absolutely insane and I couldn’t be more satisfied with my overall experience. James is an outstanding artist and the vibe there is great. Next tattoo bring it to real ink you won’t be disappointed.”

“10/10 experience here! Everything down to the studio itself was amazing, and thats not even mentioning the tattoo work. The artist that worked with me was Rex and I can honestly say his work is outstanding and at a great value! This was my first big piece I planned on getting and he walked me through the entire process start to finish. Trust me when I say, the picture doesn't do the tattoo justice to how skillfully done it looks. Could not have asked for better. If youre ever in New Orleans, definitely hit these guys up! Rex will take care of you trust that!!”

“The artist, Rich, was so patient and kind for my son's first tattoo experience. He took his time drawing up exactly what he asked for. He was very kind throughout the process; my 17-year-old son was nervous, and he made sure he was taken care of. I definitely recommend him. The staff and other artists are also great people with such welcoming personalities. I definitely recommend this business.”

“I’ve been tattooed twice now at Lucky Dagger, both times by Jacqui. Both experiences were amazing! For both of my tattoos, I just sent Jacqui some ideas and she did the rest to perfection! One was large cover up too so if you’re in need of a cover up I highly recommend Jacqui and the Lucky Dagger Team. Lastly, the shop is super clean, the staff is very nice and welcoming, and the experience overall is exactly what you’ll want for your next tattoo. Thanks again and keep doing great work!”

“Had such a lovely experience here! Immediately after walking in, I felt very safe and relaxed as the shop was super cute and clean. Emily was very helpful assisting me in finding the perfect design on my budget, and Christina did a wonderful job and kept me comfy during the tattoo process. As a local, I will be back! Thanks so much, yall! 🩷🐸🍓”

“Dominic was incredibly accommodating and patient with our crew of five tonight! From the moment we arrived, he made us feel welcome—offering us all waters and taking the time to walk each of us through our tattoo ideas. He made sure we were confident in what we wanted and never rushed the process. We all left with tattoos we love and an experience we’ll never forget. Highly recommend!”

“I had the most wonderful tattoo artist Raf on Saturday. She was efficient, light handed and provided great conversation when I could talk as I was getting my ribs tattooed. I’m from out of town but when I do come back to New Orleans I will be returning to the shop! The shop is clean and they open all of the equipment in front of you guaranteeing you are in a healthy and clean environment.”

“I recently had the pleasure of working with Devin, and I can't speak highly enough about the experience. I came in with two projects: a lion tattoo I wanted to have done, and a sleeve that needed some major reworking. From start to finish, the entire process exceeded my expectations. The lion tattoo is nothing short of breathtaking. The level of detail and precision in the design is incredible. Seeing how happy Devin was when I mentioned that I wanted a lion tattoo was such a good sign. As for my sleeve, it was a bit older and needed some freshening up. I had my sleeve done in Florida and truthfully… I wasn’t very happy with it. I gave Devin the reigns to do whatever he felt like he could to do to spruce it up and make it look better. I must say, I was a little nervous giving him the reigns but he blew it out the water. It looks SO much better now. Overall, the professionalism, skill, and attention to detail that Devin brings to the table are unparalleled. I walked away feeling incredibly happy with both tattoos, and I’ll definitely be returning for future work. Highly recommend if you're looking for someone who truly understands their craft and can take your vision to the next level! It was a very enjoyable 2 days. Thanks again Devin!”

“I had a wonderful time being tattooed by Casey. I didn’t know what design I wanted & he helped me choose one that I couldn’t be happier with. He was friendly & professional & gave me the best experience I could have asked for. Awesome shop, can’t wait to visit again!”
