I was on vacay in New Orleans, and on a whim, I decided to get my first piece of "souvenir" ink! I had 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! read more

I love Stacey the owner. First of all, she is talented. Second, she will discuss your options with you. 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. read more

Treasure Tattoo - My tattoo on my left ankle - Tattoo Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

I have gotten only a few tattoos in my life. Two of them were done here. One as a fundraiser to Jamie's mentor while he was undergoing cancer treatments and one in memory of my maternal grandmother. My siblings decided to get matching tattoos of hummingbirds also by Jamie in memory of our grandmother. The shop is neat and clean. Jamie and Stacey are both professionals who take their job seriously. Stacey also does microblading which is a lifesaver for those who have thinning eyebrows. I have thinning eyebrows, which have been microbladed by her and I am amazed. She also does other cosmetic tattoos and is excellent. Female owned, female operated, they are skilled, knowledgeable and patient. They will listen to the customers and work their hardest to help. I have plans for a few more tattoos and look forward to the work of Jamie and Stacey I will have on me for the rest of my life. Of course, I am going to have them retouch other tattoos done poorly by other so called artists, or one that was damaged by sunlight and improper care. Take care of your skin. Just remember: Jeffrey Dahmer always said that he didn't like tattooed people. They tasted bad because of the ink. Keep that in mind. read more

Jaime Ruth is artistic and creative!! They at the shop were very generous with our messing up our appointment time not once but twice. We came in with a vague idea and a sample picture of the style we want and walked out with designs we both just love! I can't stop staring at mine!! I am SO HAPPY with it! read more

First of all fuck yelp. That said I am putting aside my deep loathing of this platform to give a BIG FAT SHOUT OUT to the krewe at Treasure Tattoo. The owner Jamie Ruth was super responsive, kind and patient. Me and my 4 siblings all gathered to get a family name tattoo and I wanted to make sure everyone left happy since it was a first for most of us and they certainly delivered. Stacey and Daniel tattooed us and they were both just simply awesome. I cannot recommend this place enough. read more

First off, what an amazing Shop! Female owned and operated! Which is the icing on the cake to come support this space, but what's really going on is; experience, skill and amazing customer service. These women are skilled with years of tattooing and that says a lot in itself when it comes to this craft. Stacey C. tattooed me while I was visiting NOLA and I get tattooed when I travel to new places. She was able to accommodate me and give our whole crew matching tattoos! Needless to say I visit New Orleans often and now I always get tattooed by Stacey at Treasure Tattoo whenever I am in town and I suggest you do too! read more

While wandering in the area we found this shop. My son and I were very excited to be able to get an appointment with such short notice. The shop is very nice. Large, very clean and comfortable. Our artist was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. The only downside was the price was a bit more expensive than I had planned to spend. Especially for a simple, black outline tattoo. But they both look great. read more

Came in from Chicago and Jamie and Daniel tattooed my girlfriend, sister-in-law and me. The work was impeccable and the pricing very reasonable. Great artists and kind people. I had asked Jamie about a weird request that I didn't even think was gonna work or look good, but she sketched something up and it came out incredible. We couldn't be happier with our tattoos! Thanks again Jamie and Daniel!! read more

I'm so glad I found this place, and Stacey! I was searching for an artist for a tattoo I'd been planning. A friend mentioned Treasure Tattoo & that not only were they female owned & operated, but they were also getting ready to do a benefit for Women with a Vision, a fantastic local charity. I popped in for a quote, and as soon as I said It was a Wonder Woman tattoo, Stacey exclaimed that she was a huge fan, too! She showed me a painting she'd done featuring 2 different iterations of Wonder Woman, we chatted about the character's history & I knew this was my girl! I scheduled an appointment, sent her a deposit and went home to wait. One of the best parts was that Stacey emailed me twice before my appointment to ask clarification questions on the design I wanted & to tell me how excited she was to do it. By appointment day, it was like getting tattooed by a friend! She helped me with placement, made excellent coloring suggestions & we chatted easily while she worked. Stacey has a light hand, it was very easy to sit for her. The coloring is gorgeous and it healed like a dream!! I have a list of work I plan to get and Stacey is my girl! I cannot say enough wonderful things about her or about Treasure Tattoo! But one more thing: Jamie brings her sweet dog, Foxy, to hang out in the shop & that means you get puppy love while you're getting your art! If there was a bonus star, I'd give it! read more

Came in on a spur of the moment decision and Stacey was great! She took her time with our tattoos and made sure they were perfect. My partner and I both got floral tattoos and we love them. This shop doesn't have your typical "tattoo shop vibe" it's very clean and well lit with beautiful color block walls and art. Also the owner has the sweetest dog Foxy who hung around with us! They offered to put the pup in the backyard but we were happy to hang out with such a sweet pup! read more

My favorite place to get tattooed in town!! Both Stacey and Jamie are so sweet, professional, and talented. I've gotten lots of work done by both of them and can't recommend them enough. Traditional, custom, lettering, black ink or shading- they do it all. I was once running late to meet my mom for lunch and had to have her meet me at the shop while we finished up my tattoo, mom was hesitant at first as she'd never been in a tattoo shop but she came and ended up having a blast and is even thinking about getting her first tattoo, which she'd never even considered before! Best vibes, best work. read more

This is my love letter to Stacey. I've been to famous tattoo parlors in San Francisco and a couple in New Orleans as well, and I can tell you -- hands down -- Stacey is the best artist I've ever worked with.  "Shakesqueer" was my eighth tattoo but the most visible, most intricate, and most meaningful by far. I spent years, I mean YEARS!, thinking about this design. I had an original inspiration image and a friend had even done an artistic mock-up for me, but the design was so important to me that I knew I couldn't settle for just any tattoo artist. I actually spoke with five different artists in three states before taking the plunge with Stacey -- and holy wow -- she was so worth the wait!  I found her by asking people with ink I liked where they got their work done, and "Treasure Tattoo" and "Stacey" kept coming up. (The gender of my artist wasn't important to me at all, but I found out after I got my tattoo that the shop is female owned. Right on!) I made a same-day appointment for a consult and brought her my inspiration image. The shop was cool, quiet, and comfortable. Unlike the other artists I had shown my idea, Stacey got excited immediately. I talked to her about what I wanted and she sat down with me to discuss what it meant to me, what I wanted it to look like, and different options for color/black and white, etc. Most importantly, she gave me really practical advice about my idea. She didn't just say, "We'll need to change this or that," she talked to me about how arm tattoos age and what kind of lines and sizes look best over time. I felt like she was really listening to what I wanted but providing her expertise to make the best design possible. She cared about the quality of the tattoo she produced -- it meant something to her too -- and I felt I was in really good hands. She took a few days to draw it up and had me come in the day before my scheduled session to see it -- which I really appreciated because after years of thinking about this one particular image I knew whatever she drew was bound to be a little different, and I wanted time to think about it before putting needle to skin. I squealed when I saw what she had drawn for me! I mentioned a couple of minor adjustments I wanted to make and she said she'd think about it overnight. When I came in the next day she had taken my idea for the adjustment and run with it, and what she came up with was even better than my original image/suggestion!  This part is really important: When placing the stencil on my arm, she re-did it several times until I was completely happy with the placement. In the past I've felt like tattoo artists get annoyed if they have to move the stencil, but Stacey actually recommended it! I felt like I was being annoying, but she reassured me several times that "We can move the stencil as many times as you want. We can't move the tattoo." We tried four or five different placements, discussing pros and cons of each, before settling. Then the tattooing itself: Maybe it was just the placement on my body (upper arm), but Stacey seemed to have the lightest touch of any tattoo artist I've been to! I barely felt it for the first hour.  Also, she was great to talk to during the process. She was calm, easy going, and interesting. She was even pretty patient about the fact that I have a tendency to talk with my hands, gently reminding me to keep still (LOL, sorry Stacey!) Anyway, the outline took about two hours. I was surprised at how fast she worked. And when I stood up to check myself out in the mirror, I about died with happiness! Her linework is phenomenal!   I've never felt myself beam like that. She treated it with witch hazel (something no tattoo artist has done for me before, which felt amazing) and gave me great aftercare instructions.  As long as I spent dreaming about this tattoo, I never imagined I could love it this much. It's been five days and every time I catch myself in a mirror I get giddy all over again. It's the best and longest lasting tattoo euphoria I've ever experienced. Not to mention I get compliments on it absolutely everywhere I go! All the tattooed people I meet marvel at her line work. It is truly a marvel! I wish you all could see how much I'm still smiling over this experience. We are going to do color in a few weeks and I will update this review with images of the final work of art. I'm so excited I can hardly wait! TL;DR: Stacey is the best tattoo artist I've ever been to, and I will certainly be getting more tattoos from her in the future. Her artistic vision, professional advice, kick ass skills, and genuine personality make her someone you can trust to give you the best tattoo (and experience!) you can have.  THANK YOU STACEY!!! read more

Jamie is absolutely the best!! She did my full sleeve on my right arm Japanese style and I literally get compliments EVERYWHERE I go!! Seriously I'll go to a conference and get at least 5-10 comments about how the work is amazing, the colors to bright and artistry on another level. Jamie has worked all over the world and I travel from Houston just to get worked on by her. I've recommended her to over 100 people now since people always ask me where I get my work done. I tell everyone in Houston to go to New Orleans to see Jamie for their work as well. I'm so lucky to have found her. I was on a tireless search for an artist for almost a year and when I saw an entire suit she did on a guy, I was BLOWN AWAY!!! It was so deep, rich and clean I just couldn't believe it. Like it was world class good. Competition winning good. She was also amazing to deal with, so friendly and the true artist. She even did a sketch for me in advance on a picture of my arm since I was in another city (she was in London at the time), altered my artwork on site just to make sure it was right and I liked it AND even mixed colors last minute after we saw how the colors were looking on MY skin. She made this awesome shade of green (kind of like a teel/turquoise color) and it was perfect! Don't hesistate guys. Doesn't matter the style. Jamie has got you covered. I'm coming back just for lettering! See you soon Jamie! read more

Stacy was awesome - very meticulous and thorough. Would recommend her to anyone looking for quality work in the New Orleans area. My fiancé and I got work done together by Stacy and she was very patient and carefully reviewed her work before wrapping us up! read more

Seriously, the folks down at Treasure Tattoos on St. Claude are the best. The shop is impeccably clean and I was greeted with a friendly face within seconds of walking in.

Even the assistant Cece was the best! read more

Jamie was awesome and worked with me prior to my coming down from Minnesota to make sure that I was going to get what I wanted.

I would not hesitate to make another appointment with her if I'm in town and need a new tattoo. read more

Let me tell you about this wonderful tattoo shop in the good city of New Orleans! This place was absolutely wonderful and made my tattoo experience amazing. My talented, awesome, handsome artist was Daniel. I called him up to set up an appointment and when I got there he picked up that I wanted to be involved with my design. While getting tattooed there were other artists there. They made me feel welcomed. He was patient with me and my tattoo came out unbelievable gorgeous. The place was clean. Spacious. Bright! I couldn't ask for a better tattoo shop. I will be back soon to get more done by Daniel. read more

Treasure Tattoo - Daniels creation! - Tattoo Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Every year my vieja and i travel to NOLA for a week to enrich ourselves in the sights and sounds and general culture of this amazing city. We woke up one morning itching for some new ink when we looked online and saw this amazing shop was not only a block away from where we were staying but that it was an all female shop. We walked in & were greeted by Jaime and Stacey. We asked if they had time to whip up a few little bangers and they were more than happy to help us out. In no time was Stacey sketching out the design for me. She made me feel extremely comfortable and confident as she meticulously laid down the design on my skin repeatedly until we were both happy with the placement. You always forget how much you hate tattoos until you're reminded of the pain, but that's just a side note. Five days later my tattoo is healing beautifully and i can't wait to go back and get more from her and this shop. read more

Wow, wow, wow!! I don't know what else to say? Stopped by the ladies @ Treasure Tattoo as soon as we got in to town. They were warm, friendly and professional. Fast forward 5 days...Going in, I knew what mine was gonna be. My wife was still undecided. While Stacy worked on my eyebrow, Jamie talked with my wife and helped her reach as decision on her's. Stacey was patient, meticulous and detailed. The art on my shoulder was/is fairly detailed. She hit a home run with this. As did Jamie with my wife's. Both these gals are great. Their shop is not on Bourbon or Frenchman. They are kinda hidden in a trendy little neighborhood and they got it going on. Clean shop. Hygienic. I could rant on and on. As far as I'm concerned....This is the place. Thanks gals. read more

I've gotten two tattoos, both by Stacey at Treasure Tattoo. My plan was to only ever have one tattoo, but after my first experience with Stacey, I'm hooked!!! She made me feel so comfortable and bad ass. They have a shop dog, cool art, and are just cool people. I'd go back again and again!!! read more

I have long admired Jamie's high quality work and was so excited when she finally opened up a shop of her own! She has so much talent and experience and has worked in tattoo shops all over the world. Jamie is the only person I will trust near me with permanent ink - she is an incredible artist and meticulous in her craft. The shop is a great space - great vibe and always super tidy. You won't get any nonsense with Jamie - she is direct, ethical and fairly priced. read more

The tattoo world has a long history of being predominantly male-run, but not at Treasure Tattoo! This shop is owned by the amazing Jamie Ruth, a talented tattoer, a world traveler! We are lucky to have her in the neighborhood, and I'm honored to have her artwork on my body. When Jamie sticks the needle to you, the lines are precise and those colors are not going anywhere. She is knowledgable in design, she knows what will work and what wont, and will help you make your ideas a reality. And of course there is Miss Stacey Colangelo! Fiercely talented and freakin' fun to be around. She even does permanent makeup! I am still working up the nerve to do my eyebrows. One day, Stacey! These two women are a treasure; the shop is gorgeous, CLEAN, great music, great view of St Claude. The front room usually displays local artists' works and changes every month or so. Do yourself a favor and go to Treasure Tattoo! read more

My friend and I were in New Orleans for the Jazz festival and decided to get our yearly tattoos but most shops around the French Quarter were outrageously priced.

Got a tattoo here, and the artist helped us figure out what we wanted and where we wanted them, as well as just being awesome to talk to!

I wanted to be tattooed by a woman, and heard a lot of positive feedback about Jamie Ruth at Treasure Tattoo. My tattoos are works of art and I am stopped by strangers everyday who want to check them out. I am beyond grateful to have these on me, but another wonderful thing about spending so much time getting tattooed by Jamie Ruth is that we became friends. Treasure Tattoo usually has installations by local artists and the owner definitely generates a sense of community in her shop. I miss living in that town and being able to just drop in and say hello. If you're in New Orleans and want to get a tattoo, this is a great place to do it. The other resident artist Stacy Colangelo, also does amazing work. read more

I recently had a tattoo done by Stacey and it was a wonderful experience. The day before I went in to discuss my ideas with her-- that night she drew a custom piece that was beautiful and exactly what I had envisioned. I went in for my piece and the shop was clean, well decorated and inviting. She really took the time with me to make sure that my tattoo placement was exactly where I wanted it and then did a wonderful job on the tattoo itself. I have gotten a few tattoos in different places, but this was by far the best experience I have had. I will absolutely be recommending this shop to anyone who asks! read more

One of new orleans' best. I have a tattoo Jamie did almost 20 years ago that still looks as good as it did the day I got it.

If you want some of the best in the business, get tattooed here. Not only are Jamie and Stacey incredibly talented, but they exhibit the highest level of professionalism. I have seen firsthand, many times that every client and potential client are treated with respect and given the attention they deserve. Im looking forward to many more tattooes with these ladies. read more
