I came into this shop a few weeks ago to get a tattoo while I was visiting New Orleans.The woman at…read morethe front desk was lovely and the the tattooer came out. At first he seemed fine, if gruff and not all that friendly. He the proceeded to give me both the worst tattoo and worst tattooing experience of my life. I am a heavily tattooed person - I have a full back piece and my hands and stomach tattooed - and the tattooed he put on my inner arm hurt more than any other tattoo I've gotten. It was almost as if he was enjoying causing me pain. When I winced he made mocking comments about my other tattoos being "fine line" no knowing that I have traditional tattoos other places on my body. And the tattoo itself is the worst applied one I've ever gotten. It's completely blow out and looks like I've had it for 100 years. I cannot recommend anyone get tattooed here.

The other artists are also great! and so is the front desk lady. Good vibes and music. Clean space and talented artists. Highly recommend getting your next ink here.

I got a tattoo during my visit to New Orleans and I (generally) like my tattoo, but the line work…read morein many places is very shaky and not done well, or just missing. I am not sure if my artist was new, and know that can be expected in some places on tattoos sometimes, but it is a good chunk of the tattoo. My husband also overhead a conversation between the front desk person and my artist regarding the pricing of my tattoo, and overhead the front desk person being surprised at how high my tattoo was priced. I am not sure if it was because I mentioned we were from California and tattoos are pricy out here, but it didn't sit well with me after hearing of the conversation. Just a warning to out of town folks especially. The two stars is for the tattoo because I generally like it, but up close the work wasn't done well and I wouldn't return to the shop for future work.

I wanted and piercing to always remind me of our second home here in NOLA, so we came to Purity. Jared was warm and welcoming. Very friendly. He listened to what I was looking for.

I repurchased the same one thinking maybe it was a fluke but then the clicker on this one broke. I thankfully didn't lose it and brought it back to ask if they could fix it because they said they guarantee their jewelry. They have now had this piece for almost a year. No communication. I've gone in several times to ask about. I get a very vague response and no help to what we could do about it. I'm a pretty patient person but this is getting ridiculous.

After explaining to Pearl what we were looking for, she introduced us to Big Bad Jon. We showed him a pic of our sweet departed pup Atticus and although it was after 11:00 pm, Jon promised he'd go home and study, so to be sure and capture Atti's essence. Well, long story short he knocked it out of the park. My tat was first, and when my wife saw how realistic it was she immediately teared up. Hers was next and just as lifelike as mine; in fact, they were like twins! We couldn't be happier with our choice of Downtown Tattoos; massive thanks to Jon and the rest of the krewe! If you're in New Orleans and thinking about getting some ink, walk over to Frenchmen Street!!
