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.

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!!!

We looked this place up and saw great reviews and decided to go in to see if they had any openings. Chris helped us out! We let him know we wanted small zodiac signs in our finger and he explained that finger tats usually don't heal up well. Since this was my first tattoo I wanted to make sure everything went smooth. We left to do some deliberation and took his card to text him once we decided. I ended up getting it on the ankle. It was not as painful as I thought it would be, and took about 3 min. It was a really simple design so it didn't take much time. He adjusted the stencils to my liking to make sure I liked the placement before he began. Very happy with how it turned out! Shoutout to Chris who took us on same day and did an amazing job and was super patient with two first timers. Great customer service and the facility is clean with a sterile set up for the tattoos. $80 min for tattoos FYI.

I went on a Saturday and found parking right in front of the shop. The shop had great stuff to look at while I made conversation with Chris and that was all a great distraction. The music playing was great as well. Definitely going back for other work! I was comfortable with the pricing and his work is definitely comparable to his pricing. My line work is great and I healed nicely with no line blowouts.
