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.

She had been to Downtown Tattoo before and had a great experience there. We booked an appointment a few days in advance. I was procrastinating about the idea that I wanted but the day before sent the shop my idea. The day of my appointment we came in, the shop was great. Clean spot and friendly staff. I was nervous about the vacation tattoo. Even though I'm tattooed I didnt want to be "tourist guy". I got paired up with Jim. We chatted briefly, he nailed down some foreign language details which you'd want from tattoo artist so you're informed and not getting wrong language. The most important thing if you're getting tattood, is Jim nailed the tattoo and concept. Really good artist. Second, Jim is a really interesting guy, we passed the time talking about deep movie stuff, and I had a great time getting to know him. Very cool guy. I highly recommend the shop and Jim specifically. Also, he recommended a cool place to eat after so more props to them. If you're looking for a good quality shop and tattoo. Hit em up.

The piercings were also reasonably priced, I think $75 for standard jewelry included in the piercing but you can change your jewelry to fit your style if you don't mind paying more!

I am not sure if my artist was new, and know that can be expected in some places on tattoos sometimes, but it is a good chunk of the tattoo. My husband also overhead a conversation between the front desk person and my artist regarding the pricing of my tattoo, and overhead the front desk person being surprised at how high my tattoo was priced. I am not sure if it was because I mentioned we were from California and tattoos are pricy out here, but it didn't sit well with me after hearing of the conversation. Just a warning to out of town folks especially. The two stars is for the tattoo because I generally like it, but up close the work wasn't done well and I wouldn't return to the shop for future work.

There is a cool vibe thats not as intimidating as your typical old school parlor but not as sterile as some newer places and in general I find very comforting. All of the artists are wonderful! I have never had a bad experience with any of them. They have all been patient when I need a break, kind, concerned about my comfort during the tattoo, and fun to chat with. All the great things you want to see from an artist! Most recently I've working on a coverup with Dani. I gave her a lot of freedom on the design and she made sure to ask me about my preferences and generally made sure I was involved and had a day with the design. Its a pretty big piece that has taken us quite a few sessions (big design on the ribs). She's never upset when I tap out and always encourages me to listen to my body and is generally really concerned about my well-being in a way I haven't seen at some other shops. This place is a fantastic choice if you are getting a tattoo in New Orleans especially if you are looking for a queer friendly shop with lots of great female artists!

She had such an incredibly calming/relaxing aura about her that made me feel at ease. Ive gotten 10-15 tattoos in the last few years.. And this one really sticks out to me that I left reviews both on here and on Google. I recommended her for anything. But if your going in for a first time tattoo appointment, please go see her!!!!!!!! Such a positive, calming and relaxing energy from her. She does incredible traditional work. Go to their website which i believe has links to her IG. Great work that really pops! Not sure id come back to NOLA for the simple fact id rather explore new areas of the world.... but if i did come back.... she (whatever shop shes working out of) would be a definite stop!!! I got a little voodoo doll. Love it!!!
