I walked in with a pretty simple request and was greeted right away, which made me feel instantly welcome. Bugg was amazing! Thorough, friendly, and, as always, gave me several options to choose from. The shop has a great, welcoming vibe, and I left completely happy. It was exactly what I was looking for.
My husband and I were on vacation from Iowa and got tattooed by Roy, and you can truly tell how much he cares about his work. He’s passionate, detail-oriented, and genuinely invested in making sure everything is exactly right. Everyone in the shop was incredibly nice and welcoming, and the place was very clean and professional. The whole experience was comfortable from start to finish, and our tattoos turned out amazing. We would highly recommend Roy to anyone.
We had Roy do our work. He's the coolest guy, even just to hang out with. The shop itself is warm and inviting including the owner, other artists and the piercer. If your in New Orleans look them up. Definitely ask for Roy. All the artist are great though.
Highly recommend Roy. Walked in tonight from out of town. Drew up just what I wanted to add to my voodoo dolly arm. Super light hand. Great work. Very personable. Can’t wait to see it healed. Wish he was closer than 8.5 hours from home.
Me and my Best friend got matching Tattoos for her 60th Birthday while visiting New Orleans. I reached out to Roy prior to our visit and he was soooo helpful! Then came the time for our Tattoos! Simply the best place we could have picked! Roy was amazing and the whole vibe of the place is just so welcoming😊 5 stars✨
