Me and my friend came in somewhat on a spur of a moment to get tattoos. We were visiting NOLA from out of town. 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. read more

Chris took my appointment for the next day from my call. Worked with my schedule which was great and helpful. He helped me figure out a coverup and I love how it came out. 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. read more

I got a small tattoo on my ankle from Chris who walked my friend and I through the best place to get them. We wanted hand tattoos and he explained how and why that's not the best location for a tattoo which was so helpful! Chris was willing to accommodate small fixes to the designs and was very nice! He's the best and I love my tattoo. He also did a great job walking you through the best maintenance techniques. read more

I came in last week for the sailor jerry promo and got a huge pinup girl on my leg from Larry Bone. I was super impressed. He did a great job, and was fun to talk to the whole time. The colors he chose were perfect, and it came out better than I expected it to! I've been to many tattoo shops in my life, and this one was definitely the most fun and comfortable one! The staff were so funny, and it was just really relaxed, as opposed to some places where the artists are douchebags or judgmental. They definitely keep it nice and clean as well. Prices are fair. You get what you pay for when it comes to tattoos in a shop like this. read more

Chris was the best. He helped me refine a flash I picked, and his calm demeanor put me at ease for my first tattoo. When I felt a little flush, his colleague got me some water, and turned up the AC. Good after care instruction. Pic is from immediately after. read more

At the last minute, on my last day in NOLA, I decided I wanted a tattoo to remember my trip by. I was nervous because I have two other tattooed that I didn't like from years before from other artists. It's hard to choose the right tattoo and right artist so you don't end up with something you don't want or like. I called Tattooagogo and Chris Blanchard answered. He was able to squeeze me in at the very last minute of my last day. I had two very different pictures that I wanted to mesh details together to create something very different. I wanted something feminine and pretty but to represent NOLA and my time spent there. Chris was amazing. He was very patient and listened to me describe the details I was looking for from the two pictures, as well the details I wanted to create and delete. After a15 minute consultation he went in the back and spent about 15 minutes designing what he thought I wanted. I was so surprised how close he was. We fine tuned a few details with Chris making two more attempts until it was perfect! I was so happy and excited. Before walking in I was thinking I should just forget it. When I got inside and saw the samples of work I didn't feel very confident because it wasn't stuff that represented what I want, so I wasn't sure I was going to even get it at all. I had sleet decided if I didn't like it I was leaving without a tattoo. But thankfully that wasn't the case! Chris was amazingly easy to talk to. He was very careful to choose the exact colors I wanted and had envisioned. His work is amazing!! I highly recommend this shop! They squeezed me in when three other shops wouldn't and didn't seem interested! I highly recommend Chris Blanchard!! You won't be disappointed! Thanks do much Chris hit making a believer out of me again!! I have the Tattoo bug again!! read more

Best damn tattoo shop in Nola with some great artists. If you want traditional or Japanese art then the owner, Donn Davis is your guy! He's a great guy and came highly recommended to me all the way from Detroit! read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! After doing my research considering tattoo shops around New Orleans, I heard a lot of good things about this place! Grew up a lot in NO, so seeing a bunch of shops I had a hard time picking, but Im so glad I decided to get work done here. I got my tattoo today and will be booking another appointment for next week (3 hour drive but WORTH IT!) Also, recommended to my friends who were worried about getting their first. My artist was Chris, who was super nice and easy to work with! I love my tattoo and super happy that I chose them as my first shop to go to! read more

Great place for a tattoo! I love my new ink, done by the magnificent Scott. Very inexpensive and extremely friendly. I would higher recommend Tattooagogo if you are in the Crescent City looking for a quality establishment to get a new tattoo. read more

I got Boned* at Tattoo-A-Gogo & loved every minute of it. (* and by Boned, I mean Mr. Larry Bone gave me a gorgeous rose tattoo on my delicate side boob). I went for the Sailor Jerry promo and I'll surely be back. Every artist in this place is fantastic and friendly. The work is super high quality, hands down some of the best I've ever seen. Larry is hilarious as well as considerate (two things I love in any person) & getting tattooed by him is like hanging out with a charming, funny guy who happens to be putting some fabulous art on your body. I highly recommend this shop for anyone looking for high quality work in a comfortable, clean, drama free environment. read more

Visited a friend of mine last weekend in NOLA. I was determined to get a tattoo before leaving to come back home. I went with a hummingbird concept in mind and stopped in the shop. When I arrived initially both artists were busy but, Scott offered to call me a few hours later to see if he could accommodate me. He was able to and did a great job. He was pleasant, professional and quick which was appreciated since the whole pain thing was not fun. I'd definitely go back read more

Found this shop because i followed an artist Nixxin that now works at Tattoo A Go Go. Nixxin is very skilled and I love his work. Nixxin has done ink on me as well as another guy who works there that ink'd up my wife and I. I would recommend him to friends and will be back for more ink from him. As for the shop itself...as soon as you walk in, you get a vibe that's not your typical Uptown Nola vibe. the way i would describe it would Uptown meets the country meets the beach... Its a laid back kinda feel at home vibe...its comfortable, and clean! Tons of great art around to inspire ideas of your tattoo. read more

my favorite shop in new Orleans. nothing but quality artists there. I have seen a lot of the work Don has done, he is great at color, my personal favorite artist moved to Austin but comes back for a guest spot there once a year. that is my go to place for custom work, these guys can draw you up anything. and they aren't afraid of telling you that your idea might not work. they would rather not do a bad tattoo than make money off someone. read more

Four days later and I'm still bleeding. Also the lines are blown out as hell. And before anything i was completely sober, thought i did thorough research, and took proper after care. read more

It's been over 20 years since my last tattoo- and I couldn't be happier that my return was at Tattooagogo. My friend and I went in with specific designs/ideas that were absolutely exceeded by Chris Blanchard. He was super accommodating and extremely talented. When we arrived for our appointment he greeted us with his drawings of our ideas. Seriously so much better than what we were thinking. He has a calm, easy going manner that put us both at ease. The whole vibe of Tattooagogo is pretty chill and relaxed- just what you'd want at a tattoo parlor. Very clean and everyone there was really nice. I'm so over the top pleased with my new art and the whole experience. I'll be posting a picture once the healing is done! read more

Great service great people have gotten a couple tattoos from Scott and plan on getting many more from him. Anyone that ask about tattoos I refer to him. read more

My husband and I have been getting tattoos from Donn for at least 6 years. He's an amazing artist, very professional, and super nice! Bonus - he won't laugh at you if you cry. (well not to your face) read more

The quality of the work is good for flash work. Seem to specialize in Sailor Jerry and basic flash style art. Pricey for the type of art offered. We are pleased with the work we had done. The artist we had work on the three of us we not personable and even rude at times. Being an artist and a collector of body art for 20 years I personally will not return there. If you have your art prepared and don't need an artist interpretation then I think you would be pleased but if you want something original and don't have it prepared I suggest finding an artist with a art portfolio with drawing and paintings. read more

Got my first tattoo here from Matt. I passed out for a few seconds and the staff was great about it! Everyone had a laugh at my expense, and it was funny. Aside from that, it's very clean, organized, and 100% professional. I will definitely return for the next one. read more

I've been getting tattoos from Jamie Ruth for the past 10-12years and she is now at this badass shop!! Jamie Ruth is such an amazing artist, her work is always perfect and the color has lasted! Jamie is such a joy to get work from, she easily translates my ideas into beautiful body art read more

I had an amazing experience here last month. Walked in on a Friday with some abstract thoughts on a tattoo I wanted on my flank to cover up an old scar. I was greeted by Donn and he was awesome from the start. He listened to what I had in mind, we came up with some concrete designs, and he scheduled me for the next Monday. Ended up with 1 tattoo covering my scar and 2 other small, adjacent pieces. They came out great and were exactly what I was looking for. Additionally, the vibe was awesome the whole time. Donn is super cool, laid back, and clearly talented. Definitely a place I would return to. read more

I went in about 3 weeks ago to get a portrait of my late best-friend/dog from Donn. Great experience, I went in 10 days or so before the appointment and we talked about what I wanted, I showed him some pics and he told me which he thought would work best. I emailed him the art and we clarified what I wanted. I asked if he would put a little of the cremains in the ink and he said sure. Appointment day he texted and said he was available earlier if I wanted, which was good. When I got to the shop we chatted a bit about the art and he showed me what he'd come up with which was dead on to the photo. About 2-2.5 hours in the chair, one very short break and I have exactly what I wanted on my arm. Donn is great to talk to and really adept with his needles. I have a fair amount of ink and Donn is as gentle as can be--but yes it still hurts. By the way, the other artists in the shop were really friendly, lots of good-natured banter but within the confines of taking their work seriously. A nice place to let somebody puncture your body thousands of times for a couple of hours. I waited to write a review for the ink to heal and it looks better than I had hoped it would. A top notch piece of work from a fantastic artist at what I consider a really reasonable price. I will go back to Donn and tattooagogo for more work and if you are considering work, I don't think you will be disappointed. read more

I have a lot of work from Donn Davis. Donn always amazes me with his ideas and work. Go check out the portfolios at the shop and tell Donn that Leatherballs sent you!! read more

My wife and I went to Tattooagogo yesterday to get our first tattoos together. We can't say enough good things about the shop and the crew. They were welcoming, accommodating, and talented. We got everything we wanted and more out of our tattoos. Scott and Kenny did our pieces. They made us feel comfortable and walked us through the entire process. Thank you guys and we will be back! read more

I went to get my first tattoo today- I couldn't have been more pleased with the experience or the result. Larry Bone made me feel so comfortable, and was really nice about the fact that I was freaking out. He was so nice to talk to, and very gentle with the tattoo- definitely not as painful as everyone said it would be! My tattoo looks amazing; my next will definitely be with him again. read more

My experience at tattooagogo could not have been better, and I most definitely plan on returning for further work. Theophile or "TJ" brought an Idea Ive been having for years to life. He took his time with my sketch, fixed anything I was unsure of, and made my tattoo perfect for me, and exactly what I wanted. I finished in two sessions, around two and a half hours each, because the piece I chose was fairly large and took up my entire thigh. I've never had a tattoo artist make me feel so comfy and at home. He tattoos very gently, and makes you laugh the entire time. That pretty much goes for the whole shop though, they're all hilarious. I was so impressed with TJs line work after my first session, they were all perfect and I got endless compliments on my unfinished piece. I went back a few days ago to add some color, and again my experience was incredible. Just basically watching my tattoo come to life was the best part. He helped me chose colors, and made sure I was okay with everyone he used (which not all artist do, I know from experience). Another plus with TJ is he doesn't take ANY breaks, he didn't with me at least, unless he had to switch tattoo machines. He doesn't take "too long" he takes HIS TIME and makes sure his customers are completely satisfied. He's a true artist who genuinely cares about the finished product. The shop itself is super clean and neat, filled with nothing but incredible art. Even if you don't get tattooed I'd recommend stopping by and checking it out! read more

Got my first tattoo here by Matt. He did a fantastic job, will def come back if Im ever in NOLA again!!

Quality shop. Clean. Some of the best artists around. Donn Davis, the owner, does amazing work and everyone is very friendly and funny. Always willing to work with you on your designs or ideas you bring in. read more

Went there with an image of something I wanted. Don Davis was working on someone while his girlfriend watched. I showed him the image and he told me that he'd have to do it much bigger than the picture I brought in. Told him I didn't want that, and he said why not, it's where you cant see it anyway, your wife won't leave you, and you won't lose your job! The girlfriend of the guy he was working on got a good chuckle at my expense. Went to Pigment, and Mac did just what I wanted.... read more

Great experience! My friend and I got tattoos from Theophile. He was awesome. It was my friends first tattoo and she was a bit nervous but Theophile made her totally comfortable and was genulinely kind and helpful. So many tattoo shops have an attitude but the atmosphere at TattooAGoGo is so friendly. read more

Larry Bone was the artist, a butterfly with Rose written below it was the art! This was my first tattoo and I was made to feel so comfortable by Larry and the rest of the guys, I have no doubt that if I decide on another tattoo I will see Larry again! read more

After doing a ton of research, I found Theophile at Tattoagogo. He was so much more amazing than I even expected. I loved his style because it was so clean and concise with a real vision. He has a great personality and was a pleasure to spend the afternoon with. It's really important to me to like the person as much as the artistry. He gave me great guidance toward my vision and I love the results. I wouldn't use anyone else. read more

I'll start by saying that I am from South Carolina and spent a couple months researching shops and artists so I could get tattooed while on vacation. After several searches two always came up over and over on every "top" "best of" search I typed and that was Tattooagogo and Theophile Bourgeois. In fact I found only one negative review and it was here on yelp and after my own experience I can gather that review was one littered with idiocy. I'm a tattooed pin up model, so the work I have is often in the "spotlight" and I wanted a rather large piece on my thigh. I knew right away after seeing Theophile's portfolio and reviews that he was the artist I wanted to work on me. He wasn't my first choice, he was my only choice. Had he not been able to accommodate me I wouldn't have gotten tattooed. After an email and phone call we were squared away. The day I arrived to be tattooed I walked into a shop that was clean, organized and felt like home. I was warmly welcomed and felt more like a regular than an out of towner. Theophile had my sketch ready and it surpassed my expectations, it amazed me how by just describing the idea I had to him translated into that sketch better than I ever imagined in my own head. As a client who appreciates tattooing as much as I do seeing Theophile's excitement about the piece only made me more proud of it. When your artist is into it as much as you are you are bound to leave with an amazing tattoo. Knowing I was on vacation Donn and Theophile recommended some places to eat, things to do, etc. When I tell you these guys made me feel like a regular I mean it. I've been tattooed in several shops where I feel like an outsider, just a pound of flesh for someone to make a dollar off of. Not here. Theophile is professional, polite and quite funny as well. I like when an artist takes his time, continually assesses the piece and makes sure to get every detail just right. If you want a beautiful piece for a lifetime, from an artist that treats you like a friend then I suggest you go see him. I know I'll be going back, he's worth the drive, flight, whatever it takes. Thanks Theophile and all the guys and gal at Tattooagogo for making my trip to NOLA that much more special. Until I see you again, keep on being the best at your craft. Y'all are awesome! read more

After asking around for a good tattoo artist, I had Theophile do a cross and wings tattoo with lettering and it came out great. The guys in the shop are fun to hang out with and will go back for another. I thought the price was good and the quality was great. read more

My girlfriend and i recently visited NO, with her family. After seeing all the great tattoos out there we decided we wanted to get one. We looked on Yelp for a good place to go to and found Tattooagoago which was really close to where we were staying. the next day we headed to the shop unsure they would accept walk ins or not. Theophile was the only one working when we walked in. I showed him a picture of a scarab beetle tattoo my sister had gotten that i wanted to put on the back of my leg. He put his artistic spin on it and it turned out amazing and it was done rather quickly as well. Then it was my girlfriend's turn, she wanted an anchor with color on the side of her leg. while he was drawing her anchor, the two of us were able to step out for a bite too eat from one of many restaurants that were in the area. we came back and he was ready to go. He did an amazing job with her tattoo as well. Both our tattoo's healed really quickly, and my girlfriend's color on her anchor is way better than all her others. I would definitely come back to this shop. Theophile is a great artist and a really cool guy. it felt like a really cool place to chill, that also involved a little bit of pain. Bothe my girlfriend and I wish we lived closer so we could get tattooed there more often. read more
