My fiancée and I traveled to New Orleans with friends and family to get married in what was meant to be a magical city. We were there over Halloween, and before we left, I thought about getting a tattoo to honor my dog, Estrella, who passed away on October 31, 2020. Due to wedding expenses, I promised to keep it simple and under $200, if I got it at all. After some research, I chose a minimalist design with two paw prints and a seven-pointed star--a meaningful, small tribute. Still, I was hesitant. With all the wedding events, I wasn't sure if I could justify the time or money. But once in New Orleans, the city's spirit inspired me. On Halloween, while exploring the French Quarter, I mentioned to my fiancée that I'd check out Hell or High Water Tattoo to see if timing and price could work. On my way to the shop, I saw a restaurant sign on Decatur Street with "Estrella" written in yellow, blue, and red, the colors of the Ecuadorian flag--my father's heritage. It felt like a sign that the tattoo was meant to be. Inspired, I walked into Hell or High Water and met Roman at the front desk. I shared my story, showed him the reference with paw prints and a star, and a photo of the sign with Estrella's name in script and Ecuadorian colors. Roman seemed moved and went to check with an artist, Sean. He returned, saying they couldn't do it that day but offered to book me with Sean for the next day 11/1/2024 at 5 PM, quoting $180 for the work and said it would take about an hour. It seemed reasonable, so I left a $100 deposit and my number in case they could fit me in later that day. Later, Roman called, saying they could take me at 5 PM that same evening on 10/31/2024. Excited, I rushed over, mentioning my 6:30 PM reservation with my fiancée. When I arrived, Sean was still tattooing another couple, and I waited 45 minutes before he came over. He then explained he was hungry and preferred to do it the next day. He said he didn't want to "rush a memorial tattoo" since it was "special" and promised he'd "draw something up" for the next day. Although it was disappointing, I appreciated the sentiment and agreed. The next day, I returned, eager to see Sean's design. To my surprise, he'd simply copied and pasted the reference images I'd provided, adding no original touch. But given the circumstances, I agreed, thinking a simple tattoo would suffice and it was only $180. The process was incredibly impersonal. Sean's workspace was cluttered, and he seemed indifferent about the experience. I focused on honoring Estrella's memory and tried to get through it. Afterward, Sean told me to meet him at the front desk to settle up. Expecting a slight increase, I was shocked when he quoted $450. I reminded him that the quote was $180, but he claimed the extra was for "drawing it up and adding color," even though there was no creative input. Feeling cornered and rushed for time, I reluctantly paid. As I left, he (with a grin) had the audacity to say, "I'll tattoo you anytime." Let me say "No, Sean. No, you won't." This incident was a clear exploitation of my emotional investment. The tattoo itself is basic and was meant to honor a cherished pet, but instead, it became a reminder of this upsetting experience. The disappointment didn't just sour the tattoo--it soured the magic of the city for me. What was supposed to be deeply meaningful turned into one of regret and bitterness that lingered over the rest of my trip. To make matters worse, a friend in our wedding party got a larger, detailed, original tattoo from another artist at Hell or High Water for a fraction of what I paid. When that artist heard my story and saw the tattoo, he was shocked and clearly embarrassed on behalf of the shop. This review is a warning to anyone considering Hell or High Water Tattoo. Avoid Sean (@seanlindseygoodbabybunny) if you value integrity, empathy, and respect. Hell or High Water, I urge you to make this right, as those funds were meant for wedding expenses, not an overpriced, unoriginal work.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Called them on a random saturday early afternoon asking for 3 walk ins and they told us to come on over - it is first come first serve.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] After a quick 12 minute walk we came on over and they where able to start on us immediately! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Sean helped me and one of my friend, & Sam helped the other.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Sean was quick to get the sketches drawn up printed and helped us decide which area would be the best for us long term. I got a 4-5 x 3/4 inch singatute and it took him maybe 30 minutes from beginning to end and looks flawless! Area was clean and artwork is sick! Sam got my friends drawn up and done around the same time and again a flawless tattoo! Hope to see yall when you visit austin and will definietly return when we visit again. Thanks yall!

Bugg covered up my tattoo from the 80's!

My friend & I were in New Orleans for the weekend and wanted to get tattoos! We went on Yelp to see which place was closest to our hotel and had amazing tattoo artists! Well, we hit the jackpot! We made an appointment and came back in for our new ink. We were introduced to Bugg. Wow, what an amazing guy! Bugg is so warm and friendly and very professional. He was patient and non judgmental. He is Soooo talented and really took his time to give us his absolute best art work!!!! All of the staff are really nice and have a great vibe between them. That is such a great feeling and makes the experience level up! We love our tattoos and we give Bugg 10 stars!!!!!!!!!!

Was in NOLA for a girls trip and on our last day we had time to kill so we decided to get tattoos & stumbled upon this little gem. The tattoo artist had a customer waiting that he said was going to take 3 hours but my friend & I wanted 2 small tattoos that would take less than 30 minutes the artist went out of his way & squeezed us in & the price he charged us was significantly less than another near by tattoo shop. Also, we love our tattoos!

Chopper Pete did an awesome job on my tattoo. And I also want to say hell or high water tattoo is an awesome place to get your ink done. Best in town I recommend anyone to go to the shop.

Had a blast here! I read great reviews ahead of my trip to the area and reached out to schedule a session for two of my friends and myself to get matching tattoos. It was friend's birthday and this was the ultimate surprise. Worked with Chopper Pete who was amazing. He was all set up when we got there and tattooed the three of us. It was so much fun and I'm obsessed with our little voodoo dolls! Everyone was so nice and the other artists were funny and welcoming. Would 100% come here again when in town.

Nice, helpfull staff and reallyyyy good tattoo artists. Got it without appointment, quick and awesome work. Fair pricing !!!

I got a tattoo from Sean here a week ago and it came out absolutely beautiful. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The entire staff was so welcoming and really made me feel like one of them.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Cleanliness was on point. Hospitality . Atmosphere is super cool! If you want a tattoo from some really cool professionals, this is the spot. Thanks to Sean for a fanTAStic tattoo!

We just dropped in and they had no appointments so they got us right in. Clean, efficient, accommodating, and very nice guys. They took our tattoo designs and executed them beautifully.

This is to honor my dad. He loved elephants. The kid is supposed to be me. The red symbols mean "Ba Ba", or dad in Chinese.

While on vacation in NOLA I decided to check out Hell or High Water as my wife and I were walking by. It was closed (it was early. 9:30 AM). But Jordan opened the door for us and welcomed us in. I talked to him about a tattoo I've been wanting to get for years. I showed him a photo of the drawing. Jordan was willing to take me immediately. He showed us his portfolio and I knew my job would be easy for him. It took about 90 minutes of nonstop work. Meanwhile we were talking and laughing with the other artists. Hell or High Water is as casual as you can get. It's not for the faint hearted. I could easily chill with all of them. Jordan did a perfect job with my tattoo. He made some artistic recommendations which made his final work better than the original picture. It's been 7 years since my last tattoo. I have 4 now. This was the most fun. I'd come back to NOLA just to get another tattoo with Jordan. Highly recommended.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]My husband and I came in and requested voodoo doll tattoos and they were very considerate to our request.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They drew up our requests made them to size and went to work! We are so happy with our tattoos and if or when we are in NOLA again, we will visit! Thanks for the torture lol

Walked in to Hell or High Water with an image and very quickly I was hashing out details with the artist Chopper. [[HIGHLIGHT]]He was awesome. In fact the whole shop had a great vibe[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. I am collecting bird tats from different artists, all located in different cities around the country. Traveling for my job gives me the opportunity, not just to get a tattoo, but to meet people walking a different path. I'm realizing each tattoo has a story now imbedded in my skin. Thanks Chopper, hopefully I'll be back your way again. read more

I came to New Orleans with my sister and we were admiring work that a waitress had at a bar and she mentioned that she got it done at Hell or High Water. We decided to do a walk in and see if they might be able to accommodate us. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were warmly greeted and immediately given paperwork to sign and artists to chat with.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]My artist was Sean and he was very friendly, high energy and very open to my idea.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] He was openly enthusiastic about the tattoo, and did a very quick, adorable mock up. I have several tattoos and I found him to be a very careful, speedy and gentle artist! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Conversation was easy, and I absolutely love my tattoo.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Such a wonderful experience and wonderful memory! Thanks, Sean! read more

A great tattoo shop starts with their front door staff and Roman is the best. Such a beautiful soul and very friendly. My tattoo artist Andy is a beast his lines and shading are superior. This shop is clean professional and inviting. The price of tattoos I feel are worth the quality you receive. Recommend making an appointment because they have people coming in droves. I was also fortunate to meet the owner Meca who is a Jersey girl like myself. If you get a tattoo from then you will not be disappointed and if your visitors you will wish you lived close by to be able to go back over and over again. read more

Wife and I stopped in during our vacation to NOLA. I researched several shops in the area before going in and checking it out. Went in on Friday talked with Pete and got setup for each of us to get a tattoo the next day. Saturday we showed up about 20 minutes before they opened and went in and talked with each artist (Pete and Andy) and gave a run down of what we were wanting and began the design process. Once finalized we got to work. My wife was with Andy and she enjoyed the conversation and the light hand. Pete worked on myself and again super nice and friendly guy. Both of them made it feel as if we were at our local shop. Definitely recommend this shop and those two if you're looking for a tattoo to remember a trip. read more

Last weekend we visited NOLA for our Bach trip and quite a few of us decided we wanted tattoos! The artist, Wes, was SO accommodating and had the best vibe. There was a large group of us, so we fully expected them to not be able to accommodate all of us, but Wes stayed late to ensure we were all taken care of. The quality of the work is immaculate, and has taken hardly any time to heal! HUGE thanks to Wes for being so amazing and giving us a permanent way to remember this trip! read more

This place was one of the highlights from my trip to New Orleans. My 25th birthday and i wanted it to be the best celebration ever. And this trip was definitely one for the books so why not be a little cliche and get a tattoo to remember it forever!! Me and my best friend wanted matching tattoos for the longest and we could never think of what we wanted. But then in New Orleans we both figured it out! On our bus tour this tattoo spot caught our eye and what would be better than getting a tattoo on a trip celebrating freedom and fun! What else to get in New Orleans then a fleur de Lis! We both got it on our ankles. And it wasn't badly priced at all! Of course because we wanted to do it and it was my crazy idea i gave her a little thank you gift! It was our second to last day in New Orleans and now it was there for us to remember always! read more

Can't even begin to describe how great of a shop this is. After getting mistreated at Big Easy (not to mention how sketchy that shop feels in general), I headed over here. From the minute I walked in the door I felt like this was a place I wanted to get tattooed, and working with Andy only further solidified that. He was phenomenal to work with and talk to. I came in with a very basic idea of what I wanted to add to an already existing piece with no idea on how to do it. Andy took it and ran with it and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. 10/10 would absolutely come here again in a heartbeat! read more

The owner Tony is awesome, he did work on me years back. He keeps his place clean and the people who work there are friendly. He's shop was on NCIS New Orleans and American Horror story. So if that doesn't tell you something. I always tell my friends that where they need to go and everyone who goes ends up going back to get more work done.

They were flexible with my 20 year old who decided she was getting a tattoo on her trip to new orleans. The artist was amazing, patient and yet extremely knowledgeable - he gave her tips about what kinds of questions to ask her next tattoo artist, and how to sort out good from bad. Tattoo price was extremely reasonable. Clean, well-kept parlour. Good job, guys! read more

Lucky Dagger Tattoo

I got a tattoo from Jacqui Rose about a year and a half ago. She was instrumental in helping me design the tattoo and trying to make my image come to life. I would say we worked back and forth on the tattoo for maybe 3 months? Possibly even more? I really appreciated the amount of time she dedicated to my tattoo and I felt like with that extra time, I fell even more in love with the tattoo and its design. (On the same day she also added some stars and moons to my rib tattoo, which I love!) I also love that I got a little bit of her signature when she offered to add a flower to my tattoo and she used a lot of dot work, which I think she is also somewhat known for. Looking at the tattoo now, those are two of my favorite elements of my tattoo! On the day I got my tattoos, I came in by myself and Jacqui was immediately so so nice. The tattoo has a lot of line work and a lot of darkness, so it would have been easy to have slopey lines or to blow out some of the dark areas, but her lines were so so straight and she didn't blow out any of my tattoo. I am really happy with how the tattoo came out; it was fairly quick and pretty painless. Jacqui also had a conversation with me while she was tattooing which made me even more comfortable. The price was really fair for the quality of what she provided. I have since recommended her and her new shop to many of my friends, some of whom have received tattoos from her shop and absolutely loved them. TLDR: Jacqui is an incredible artist with a lot of patience and the prices are very fair for what she provides.

I laid down on the table and got comfortable and she was quick and relatively painless. She's very professional. For example, to get the picture in my ankle right, she had me get off the table and stand up in a certain way to get the right angle and look. She had a ton of awesome sketches around. When I emailed her inquiring about a tattoo, she got back to me within 24 hours. There is a $40 deposit to schedule an appointment, just to make sure you will be there. This of course is credited to the cost of your tattoo. Also, Stacey will tattoo cancer survivors nipples back on FOR FREE if they lost them due to the surgery. NEXT DAY: my tattoo looks wonderful!

I was new to NOLA and found this place literally right down the street from me. I wanted to get a traditional rose, with a banner for my mom and upon walking in i knew i loved this place. The place is incredible, great artists, good music, and awesome shit to look at on the walls while sitting for copious amounts of time in the chair . i was set up with Eric and he did the traditional piece. its been around 3-4 months and now have started my left sleeve with him, and pieces here and there. He does excellent work! I am in absolute love with all my work he has done. If you are visiting NOLA and looking for a tattoo, stop here! read more

What a great shop! I was down this past weekend for my bachelorette party, and popped in on a wing and prayer. A friend and I were hoping to get some new ink. I wanted a couple of small things, and she wanted a small one. Nothing fancy, or too detailed. Skitch was with us pretty quickly, and we couldn't be happier! He treated us as if our small, plain tats were just as important as a highly detailed full sleeve. Easy money, I suppose. He talked and laughed with us, as if we'd known him forever. I'm going back in two weeks, for touch ups and an add on. read more
