    It was midnight. My last night in NOLA. I've wanted a semicolon tattoo for a while so I decided to go with this spot after seeing the reviews. I was not disappointed at all! I did not have an appointment, so I did have to wait for about 45 minutes. The waiting area was extremely comfortable as there was a couch & huge television. My tattoo took approximately 10 minutes. I then decided to get a nose piercing on a whim. Flame was extremely patient and made me feel at ease because this was my first tattoo and body piercing. He gave detailed instructions on after-care. The shop was clean and I felt extremely safe. I even returned later in the morning because I accidentally yanked my nose ring out when washing my face. He looked at it and assured my everything was okay with it before I left for the airport. I can't wait to come back!!

    Unalome tattoo for representation of a journey to enlightenment.  Fused the Celtic symbol into the piece for the representation of strength.

    We called in before we did a walk in. Flame was really nice and friendly! Super affordable! My experience was great. I was definitely nervous coming in and not knowing how his art would turn out. I'm absolutely happy with my piece. I even got a piercing. Best part is, he hooked it up since I got the piercing in addition to the tattoo. He travels to Texas time to time too!

    My recently turned 16 year old son, recently came home w a tattoo done by a gentleman that goes by the name " Flame." He was not ID'd, we did not give permission or sign anything. I would soon find out the whole story and the guys my son was w told this guy to do an outline. No shading, the word Ma( short for mom). They said, the guy didn't listen. Idk if that even makes a difference at this point, it just upsets me, and his father even more so. It has the initials M A( upside-down). Everytime I see it, I smh in disbelief and dismay. I'd hope that his first tattoo experience be w us, and or, just a good one- all around. To say that his father and I were/are VERY upset, hurt, confused is an understatement. My husband was recently diagnosed w Pancreatic cancer, so the added stress from this situation does not make this any easier. My husband was so mad, so hurt, that he didn't look at or talk to our son for 3 long days. My son cried, his dad cried!! I cried, his grandparents and sisters, my neighbors are all shocked and upset. I begged him to pls not let another day go by without talking to his son. He saw the tattoo bec I took a picture of it to break the news to him. My son Regrets it, and asked if it could be removed. I looked into it for him, it's very expensive. His words were..."I got caught up in the moment Ma n I didn't even think further than that moment. I couldn't believe the guy was gonna do it. The more he looked at it, the more reality set in. Now, I didn't raise my voice at all. I could hardly speak. I had tears in my eyes, and a lot of questions. He got so weak, I had to get him a wet towel. He was visibly shaken. He hates to take medicine, i finally asked if he wanted a tylenol pm so he could relax and fall asleep. He quickly said, " YES! PLS MA! " This boy never got a butt whipping in his life-was so afraid that his dad was finally going to whoop his butt good, and punish him indefinitely. He was punished for a week, but it's not entirely his fault. I know where I went wrong.( he shouldn't have been allowed to take a ride at that hour and w 2 older guys, even tho they are good guys). He should have absolutely been asked for identification and had written permission or whatever is required by law. There is enough blame to go around. He is so upset at himself- that's punishment enough anyways, i think. Some will read this and say, it's just a tatt, and he'll get more when he's old enough to. I get it! You're right, " when he is old enough to." We are not opposed to tattoos at all. In fact, I like a lot of ppls tattoos. I am not against my son having them at all... when he is of a legal age and able to make a well thought out and mature decision. I'm not sure what we are going to do about this at this time. My son asked abt removal. I looked into it. It is very expensive. The only thing I am certain of abt this tattoo rn, is that he's stuck w it, it will need to be fixed, covered, whatever artist do to fix someone's work. To say we are all unhappy , shocked and confused as to how this happened is an understatement. Maybe one day, we'll look back and laugh, but I doubt it. GOD BLESS!

    Had a great experience getting tattoos with my friend last night. Flame was super friendly, funny, professional, and did an amazing job! He will now be a forever part of the many great memories I have had in NOLA!

    Recently my wife and I were visiting New Orleans on a vacation and both of us figured let's make it…read morememorable by getting some tattoo work done. 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.

    I came here with my fiancé and our two close friends with a same day appointment (for 4 people!)…read more The girls got jewelry changes which were done quickly and the boys got ear piercings which were done pretty painlessly! Overall we had a very good experience! Our piercer, Bree, was so friendly and made sure the piercing room was basically medically sterile! 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 don't know why I haven't done a review before, but especially because Jacqui has just started up…read moreher new business, I feel obligated to support that endeavor. 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 almost didnt look into lucky dagger due to the lack of reviews/postings on here. THANK god for…read moresticking to this spot!! I had a session with Christina. 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!!!

I…read morehad about 4-5 hours until I had to head to the airport, so I honestly didn't know if it was going to be possible, but I found Treasure Tattoo on Yelp and decided to give it a shot as a walk-in! I've always wanted a sugar skull tattoo, and I figured with NOLA's history, this was the perfect city to get one done in! Daniel was my artist, and after giving him some ideas, he worked his magic and added some of his own interpretation, and came up with a beautiful sketch! In a few hours, I was ending my memorable first trip to New Orleans with a new, beautiful piece of ink! Daniel is a great artist and a cool guy! They made me feel at home in the shop, which is always awesome! Come pay the folks at Treasure Tattoo a visit! This is an A+ tattoo shop all the way!

    I love Stacey the owner. First of all, she is talented. Second, she will discuss your options with…read moreyou. I came in with a design and a proposed placement behind my ear. She said the design I wanted would be extremely small in that area. We discussed it and I ended up getting the design on my left outer ankle. And I love it. The shop is clean. I mean really clean. 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! Just so pleased. I love it even more today.
