DO NOT GO HERE!!!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]they are very unprofessional and rude to paying customers.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They even lied about speaking to us on the phone literally 13 min before we got there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Then when we went inside to speak about a family tattoo. Which would take 15 min at most. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The artists were making rude and smart ass comments.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] So we just left. Would not recommend anyone to go there. read more

Good environment and friendly artists for the most part. the guy who did my tattoo put his own artistic spin into it without asking making it darker and thicker than i intended. it has been 3-4 months since getting it and is raised/scarred in places and slightly burns when i shower. i have plenty tattoos so i am well versed in after care and have never had this issue with tattoos before other than my one other heavily scarred tattoo. [[HIGHLIGHT]]he was a little stand-off ish and seemed to rush through it despite not being busy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] in the end i am happy with the style and how it looks so im not complaining i just wish things would've been communicated and wish the experience was better and it healed nicer. my step mom also got a tattoo by another artist who seemed newer and hers turned out amazing and exactly like the reference she showed him. [[HIGHLIGHT]]the artist was very nice and asked many questions about colors and how she wanted it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

"Picasso Crucifix" tat looks wonderful. First time tattoo and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the reaction from my kids was worth it![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Maybe a little pricey? Not sure. No expert here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Otherwise very happy with the results!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Ace is who you want to see! Exceptional work!! Precise artwork, steady hand and pure talent! Pricing is very reasonable!

I had a good idea of what I wanted and so had a walk-in appointment. I was taken by the artist Dave Steelman and we created a cool tatt. Artist....What a joke. His skill set provided me with an unbelievable heavy hand and though I admit I liked the design, his tattoo skill not only dug into my leg, the results were a severely infected tattoo. As I left the shop, I knew something was wrong right away. I have many tatts, none of which ever looked like this one (see pics). I tried to speak to the owner, but he never reached out to me after multiple messages to call me. I know he got the message because when I went back a couple days later, Dave asked me if I was the one who said I was infected, and yes, I called. As a business owner, I would definitely want to know if one of my contractors made my business look bad. The first pic was at the shop. Obviously already inflamed, it progresses rapidly into infection mode. Dave tells me to get neosporin and suggested I get antibiotics. Really. He borrowed ink from his fellow artist. I'm pretty sure he stepped out to hit a $50 bag I overheard him asking someone behind me about. Dave says when it heals, he'll fix it for free. What a joke. You can't FIX what you did and WHY would I let this dude EVER touch me with a needle again. My blood boils just thinking about this catastrophic screw up. It's taken a month to heal. I couldn't walk for a week it was so inflamed. And ownership didn't even have the balls to talk to me about any of it. If I could stand out front of the shop every day, I would warn potential customers of their lack of professionalism and show them what their artist represents. Stay away from this place. Unfortunately, other artists there are affected by the work of their colleague and the shop isn't up to the cleanliness level it should be maintaining. read more

IF I COULD GIVE NEGATIVE REVIEWS I WOULD!! I am in town for my first time ever. This place is near where I am staying. And I wanted a tattoo to commemorate my visit. The yelp reviews were good k so I decided to give it a shot. So this isn't my first tattoo and I spent years around people who were under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol so I detected that from both employees immediately. I never got the names of either person there. All I know is we weren't allowed inside despite our wearing masks to even start the process. Okay, I get it....COVID. But then another coupon comes up and are welcomed into the store. We finally get in, and no one other than me is wearing a mask. Not staff and not customer. Okay, I get my temperature taken and then fill out paperwork. A full 15 minutes passes during which time they take another customer (again with no mask). At that point I had had enough. I took my forms (personal info on them) and walked out. The person asks as I walk out if I want them to save my papers and I said I will be back. Three block later the person then comes up behind me and asks where my papers are. I explain they have my personal info and he can't have it. I give home the white form (COVID compliance) he says he need the green form too. I tear off my personal info and hand him the remainder. He says needs the number of the form. I remove the number and hand it to him. At this point he says "don't ever come back in Th e store again" and "You'll have problems if you do." All as he, more like it, is walking away. I asked if it was threatening me and the response was "I will show you why we are called murder city". Not sure how this shit hole remains open but if he/it is indicative of their business then Th e place needs shut down now. Do NOT go to this shit hole! read more

Came during Covid and our experience was great! After we called and left our info, they got back to me in about 15 minutes. We had our temperatures taken, everyone was wearing masks and gloves, and our tattoos turned out amazing. If I ever need a tattoo in NOLA again, I will stop here! read more

Terrible and unwelcoming experience. Came during Mardi Gras and expected a long wait / higher price. Waited over 2 hours, again, that's fine...only to meet our tattoo artists who had no visible tattoos, and clearly did not want us as clients. We were fine with the price, but we were very uncomfortable with the artist. Multiple clients walking out of his room also commented on how heavy his hand. Happy to have made the decision to go somewhere else read more

Came in as a walk-in and was lucky enough to be paired with Dave. He took the tattoo design I came in with and blew it out of the water with his free-hand shading. I'm so happy with my piece and highly recommend Dave to anyone looking for a top-quality tattoo. Thank you so much Dave! read more

My son and I were in NOLA and decided to get tattoos. Kyle did both of our tattoos. I would recommend him to anyone. He is very talented and was just all around awesome. read more

Kyle was AMAZING! He is an excellent artist and super friendly. The only reason that I'm giving this place 4 stars instead of 5 is because we were treated rudely by one of the other artists. He was a total d*ck..screaming at customers and just being a DB. Unacceptable. Back to the positive..it's a clean environment and perfect location. read more

My Wife and I wanted to take a little bit of New Orleans home with us, so we figured a new Tattoo would be the answer. We visited Big Easy Tattoo, and felt very comfortable with our Artists.

Don't waste your money or your time. The owners of this establishment clearly don't care about their business or their patrons. The two individuals running the shop when we stopped by to get the most basic tattoo to commemorate our trip to NOLA, were either intoxicated or on drugs. Despite the shop being devoid of other customers they couldn't hold a simple conversation and were more worried about loitering outside on the street than anything else!!!! read more

Had a great experience with these guys. Decided randomly to come in with my husband. We wanted NOLA themed tattoos as our souvenir from here and we just happened to come about this place. Told the tattoo artist Tony an idea of what we wanted and he custom drew us this amazing piece that was exactly what we were looking for. It's nice and clean. Artist used new, clean needles and opened them in front of us. He also was extremely easy on the tattooing. Didn't hurt at all. Staff is awesome and I especially loved the girl on the front. What a great bubbly fun personality she had. Will definitely come here again to get another piece done when we come back here for another vacation. read more

Do NOT recommend, I wish I could give negative stars. I called at 8 PM and asked how busy they were and when they would have time for 2 walk-ins - small and simple tattoos. They said we could come back at about 9 PM. We showed up early at about quarter to 9. We walked in and showed what we wanted, got quoted, filled out paperwork and my friend and I both put down a $100 deposit. They asked us to come back at about 9:45 and they would focus on us and the "time would be spent on us". We came back at about 9:40 and the shop girl and two tattoo artists were outside taking a break - which was totally fine. We were in no rush. We walked back inside and the artist had to draw up my tattoo - a simple magnolia and my friend chose to get the vending machine tattoo which didn't need to be drawn up. I paid my extra $40 because mine was quoted at $140. We sit and sit while more people file in to get tattoos done and walk back to get them done. An hour goes by. During that hour, the artist came up to us three times to confirm who was getting what where and kept telling me he had to draw mine up. During this time, a gentleman walked in and asked if he could pay to use the restroom and they let him. He was quite intoxicated so he was being very loud and was impatient because he had to use the restroom so badly. What I assume is the shop owner, came down and started yelling at him and calling him disrespectful. While he was in the bathroom, she walked behind the counter to where we were standing and was calling him derogatory names under her breath. The gentleman came out of the bathroom and thanked everyone and said he appreciated them for letting him use the bathroom. The shop owner tried giving his money back to him and he said he paid a tattoo artist and he didn't want it back. She then told him that she was trying to show him he kind of person she was but then at the flip of a switch got mad at him and he started walking away and that made her even more mad. He walked outside and while we were standing there, she loudly started calling him derogatory terms. After that, we were ready to walk out. The artist came up to me and asked if I liked what he drew and I told him it was fine. He went to the back to get it printed and I followed him back because I forgot to ask him to change something. He got it printed and went back to set up. We continued to stand there for another 20 minutes. I have gotten multiple tattoos and have never had this kind of experience. Long story short, we walked out and were out a total of $240. Find a better place to go. read more

dumbly enough paid $150 for a small heart tattoo, PLUS a very very generous tip... just for the heart to be done absolutely awful. the line isn't even solid and very uneven. super unfortunate :( read more

Super friendly ladies but beware if you're from out of town! A couple of friends and I stopped in to get "be nice or leave" tattooed as an homage to our trip to NOLA. One of my friends paid $200 for a 5-inch gator (shaded and detailed) to go along with the lettering, and the other paid $200 for a 3-inch shrimp to go along with the lettering. I was charged $120 for the lettering alone, and was asked to pay before any of the tattoos were started-- through Venmo. Upon discovering that my 4-letter phrase was lopsided, I called my artist, Ace, and asked if I could get a refund of my tip. She said that she could retouch the tattoo, but of course, I'm no longer in NOLA. Thankfully, I have an artist here that will help me transform this piece into something that I can enjoy. read more
