Trinity, Thank you for the great customer service and I…read morethink I've found a new friend who just happens to be great with art. The folks at New Era are quite the professionals and from what I've seen of all of the other shops in the area, I have to say thanks again for not being a complete arrogant dickhead like another shop that may remain nameless. I along with all of the others that came to you while we were in town still rave about the one true great experience in Houma. I guess I'd have to say my only regret is not getting more work done while I was out there because coming back to Cali I've got nothing but major compliments on all 5 of my tats. So again, thank you for your time and expertise. I'll be back someday soon to get the rest of my stuff done and even though I have to fly from Cali, it's well worth the trip. To anyone reading this and thinking about getting some work done, ask the locals first, then take a trip to the surrounding shops, then once you've guaged the competition, do as I did and go see the folks at New Era, you might have to wait a bit, but the wait is worth it if youre having something put on your body for life.

Opened in 2016 with the idea of bringing proper service to the tattooed and pierced of Louisiana. War Machine Tattoo is here to bring you a different experience than what you're used to. A traditional street shop built on the traditions of the past. None of the bullshit that has become unbelievably common in todays shops. Apprentices that never finished their apprenticeships, opening their own shop with mommy's money. No self taught scratchers trying to look like professionals while destroying your body. No prima donna artists, too busy to give you the time of day. And none of the careless and reckless tattooers doing tattoos that won't stand the test of time because they are afraid to tell you "no" or "it shouldn't be done exactly like that". We know what will last and what won't, but that doesn't mean we only tattoo in one style or one look. We tattoo from old school ideals, leading to strong work rooted in the practices of those who have learned what it takes to make a tattoo last a lifetime. We know your best interests are also ours. We know this is forever and strive to provide you an experience not just a tattoo or piercing.

So, I've been really contemplating writing this but I think it's time. I went to get a tattoo on my…read morewrist by a really sweet and nice guy, I'm horrible with names so bear with me, and it came out decent. I went back there to get my second tattoo which was a memorial piece to my father who passed, a week or so later i realized that one of the pool sticks on the tattoo is significantly more pointy than the other on the same tattoo. Which is really a shame because I was so happy to get it. The second thing that I have to write about is the piercing experience. oh my god it was horrible. I have gotten a few very painful piercings done already at another shop such as a double forward helix and a daith. NOTHING could have prepared me for how much pain I was put in when I went to Monarch. I hadn't noticed that my upper forward helix's piercing had fell off a few weeks prior and i needed to get the piercing re-opened. This guy at Monarch pushed a DULL earring INTO MY PIERCING HOLE FOR OVER 5 MINUTES UNTIL IT POPPED BACK OPEN. no needle. nothing but a dull earring being pushed into my ear by a grown man with all of his strength. Then, he put a BUTTERFLY BACKING ON IT and it was so tight that my ear was actually swollen around it?!?! Then, he pierced my nose and when I mentioned I was scared he told me to "suck it up." Then proceeded to pierce it SO SLOWLY and left the needle in my nose for over 5 minutes then proceeded to give me the wrong type of stud to put in it. I am just fuming thinking about that day. Okay rant over. Don't go here tbh. Only gave it an extra star for the nice tattoo guy and the price for my tattoo.

I've thought long and hard about writing this review but I've realized that if someone else had put…read morethis up my friends wouldn't be in the situations they were in. Last September I went with 3 friends to get piercings from the guy there named Kevin. I typically go to Harley (Rosie) at Another Realm but I know this guy trained her so I thought it would be a similar amazing experience. When we were talking to him he seemed cool but some of the stuff he was saying about using surgical steel jewelry was just off putting. I have nickel allergies so I can't use that jewelry ( another reason I love Rosie so much because she uses titanium). I decided against getting my helix done but my friends got their belly button, forward helix and surface tragus done. He put a hoop in my friend's belly button and it looked crooked but he said her body would naturally straighten it. I didn't believe that but my friend was happy with it. Next was my friend getting her surface tragus done and he put in an eyebrow ring so I asked him about it. He just kept saying that he's been piercing for decades and that he knows what works in peoples bodies. Whatever. Then my third friend gets her forward helix. This man CUT a butterfly back to put in her ear. I was shocked. When he was telling them how to take care of it he just said to use dial or dawn twice a day and they could change everything in a couple of weeks. I thought that because he trained Rosie he would be amazing and be really educated in metal types and jewelry and proper after care. I was wrong. My friends were okay with everything though so we left and a couple of weeks later they were all complaining about the way the piercings were healing. I took them to Black Pearl (it's since changed names to Another Realm Tattoo) and had Rosie look at everything. She stayed professional but I could tell she was so disappointed in what was done to them. She ended up removing everything for them. The hoop he put in my friend's belly button wasn't closed all the way so it ended up healing on the top half and was oozing pus really bad. The forward helix jewelry had sunk into her ear and created a missive hole. And my other friend now has a scar on her face from the eyebrow bar he put in. I'm putting this review now because a coworker got her rook pierced by him a couple of months ago and it's now threadbare thin and will most likely scar her. She said Kevin had good reviews so she didn't know any better. Hopefully people will read this in the future and do more research on who they let put holes in their bodies

The Nurse Practitioner came in ( even though my appointment was with Grafton), asked me what was wrong and I showed her. She clearly looked annoyed. I asked her to lance it and do a culture, which she then wrote a script for an antibiotic and left the room, leaving me with a medical assistant who clearly didn't want to do it either, approaching me with a large wooden pick. She barely touched me saying she couldn't get a sample. I then got annoyed, took the pick and culture stick and did it myself. So, unless you want botox, filler or any other cosmetic work done. Don't bother, you don't make them any money!
