    Voodoo tattoo
    Melissa M.

    I got a little matching voodoo doll tattoo with my girlfriend while on vacation. We got in and seated quickly as walk ins. Friendly people, and environment. So glad we did this on a whim. My artist was Stephen, go check them out if you are spontaneous and in NOLA! Our tattoos came out so cute!

    REFERENCE PHOTO (not done by big easy)

    Good environment and friendly artists for the most part. the guy who did my tattoo put his own artistic spin into it without asking making it darker and thicker than i intended. it has been 3-4 months since getting it and is raised/scarred in places and slightly burns when i shower. i have plenty tattoos so i am well versed in after care and have never had this issue with tattoos before other than my one other heavily scarred tattoo. he was a little stand-off ish and seemed to rush through it despite not being busy. in the end i am happy with the style and how it looks so im not complaining i just wish things would've been communicated and wish the experience was better and it healed nicer. my step mom also got a tattoo by another artist who seemed newer and hers turned out amazing and exactly like the reference she showed him. the artist was very nice and asked many questions about colors and how she wanted it.

    Best friends Gina & Nikol

    My best friend & I headed in today for our long overdue matching tattoo while vacationing for her birthday. We were greeted by Christopher Coll who took a look at our Pinterest ideas, discussed price & we were on our way! Great work by a very cool & very interesting guy! We Highly Recommend Big Easy Tattoo & Recommend the one & only Christopher Coll!

    Just keeps getting worse

    I had a good idea of what I wanted and so had a walk-in appointment. I was taken by the artist Dave Steelman and we created a cool tatt. Artist....What a joke. His skill set provided me with an unbelievable heavy hand and though I admit I liked the design, his tattoo skill not only dug into my leg, the results were a severely infected tattoo. As I left the shop, I knew something was wrong right away. I have many tatts, none of which ever looked like this one (see pics). I tried to speak to the owner, but he never reached out to me after multiple messages to call me. I know he got the message because when I went back a couple days later, Dave asked me if I was the one who said I was infected, and yes, I called. As a business owner, I would definitely want to know if one of my contractors made my business look bad. The first pic was at the shop. Obviously already inflamed, it progresses rapidly into infection mode. Dave tells me to get neosporin and suggested I get antibiotics. Really. He borrowed ink from his fellow artist. I'm pretty sure he stepped out to hit a $50 bag I overheard him asking someone behind me about. Dave says when it heals, he'll fix it for free. What a joke. You can't FIX what you did and WHY would I let this dude EVER touch me with a needle again. My blood boils just thinking about this catastrophic screw up. It's taken a month to heal. I couldn't walk for a week it was so inflamed. And ownership didn't even have the balls to talk to me about any of it. If I could stand out front of the shop every day, I would warn potential customers of their lack of professionalism and show them what their artist represents. Stay away from this place. Unfortunately, other artists there are affected by the work of their colleague and the shop isn't up to the cleanliness level it should be maintaining.

    Fleur de lis by Stephen

    My wife and I had a great experience here! We wanted a fleur de lis as a Nola memory. We walked right in and we're greeted by Stephen who did my tattoo and Austin who did my wife's tattoo. They were both super chill and easy to work with. We got exactly what we asked for and love our tattoos!

    Fresh ink.

    Totally b*tchin spontaneous surprise from my honey while on a quick trip out of town. While respecting the Covid guidelines put in place, we were able to walk up for an outside consultation, set up a same day appointment, which turned into a totally awesome vibe from everyone at the shop. Stephen did excellent work on my piece! First traditional piece, first time visiting NOLA. Unforgettable. \m/

    New Orleans inspired tattoo

    1st trip to NO. Not my 1st tattoo wanted to get something NO inspired so this is what I choose. This artist seemed off like he was on something there is so many light spots he didn't even shave the area before tattooing this is about 3 weeks old. Now I have to pay to get the shading done over. Smh

    Tatoo

    My daughter and I got our first tattoos here-these guys did a superb job, and were very diligent about sterile procedures and COVID safety. Steven did my tattoo and came up with some great ideas and inked it beautifully. I will definitely be a repeat customer!

    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'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.
