GO HERE!!! They have super cool people working there! Very friendly and attentive! I went there on valentine's day to keep my friend company while getting a tattoo and I ended up getting one done by Mike. Mike by definition is a professional, I got a sternum tattoo and it barely hurt compared to my first tattoo which is on my bicep. Super light handed and great attention to detail! if you are looking to get your first tattoo or piercing done, I recommend this place. Will 100% be returning read more

Claudia is the most amazing person and piercer. She has done multiple piercings on my daughter Marley and I. She always makes us feel so comfortable. She has the best energy. I hope she stays piercing forever. She has this energy that calms people in stressful times. On top of that she is beautiful inside and out. Hayley Medrano read more

Amazing service! I can't remember the piercer's name that she was very friendly and knowledgeable and patient with my 16 she got her nose pierced. I was impressed that I decided to get my piercing as the same day. read more

I requested to get a double helix piercing and the lady was so nice!! Super clean!!! She also checked my anatomy before agreeing to the piercing, especially if youve been pierced in the area before they'll check to make sure it is ok to pierce again. Everyone was kind and easy to talk to. The piercings ended up coming out great i love it, still healing but looking greatttt. I'll definitely come back here for my next piercing! read more

Went in for a cowboy bebop tattoo. Alan was great and tattoo came out amazing! Great vibe in the shop.

I got a floating navel with my friend done on November 14th, the piercing done by Claudia in itself was fine. They were $90 each. She didn't use clamps but i believe that's up to the piercers preference. I got a flower charm and a few days after the bar didn't have enough room for swelling. So I went back to get a bigger bar because the flower was starting to sink. Ana was the one to help she said she placed a longer bar but still kept the flower which I wasn't a huge fan of and I still felt like I should've been able to see a little bit of the bar but i should've spoken up about it still being a tight fit. The next few days were VERY uncomfortable, Ana ended up giving me her instagram so I could contact with any questions. So I did and she just kept telling me it's probably just irritated and to do cold compresses. I couldn't deal with the flower anymore it was bothering me so much so I switched it to the small ball that she had given me. It got so much worse. The ball completely started to sink in and was fully embedding into my skin. I kept trying to tell her the bar was tooooo short and I felt completely brushed off. I ended up going to Iris (another shit show piercing parlor ) and they said it was pierced wrong. Again THE BAR WAS TOO SHORT, I don't know how not one, not two, but THREE piercers couldn't find the right barbell size for me. I ended up messaging Ana again asking for advice. At one point she seemed like she got annoyed and just told me to message Claudia, i felt like since they already had my money I was just nagging at this point. Claudia never answered me which I was on a time crunch considering how much it was embedding so I didn't have all the time in the world to be waiting on her response. All in all, i wouldn't trust them with piercings. I've seen their tattoo artists work and it's pretty good but the piercers just seem too unsure of themselves and their work read more

Walked in to ask about pricing for my 2nd earlobe piercings, and ended up getting them that day! Claudia was nice and helpful, answered all our questions and let us take our time repositioning the marks. It ended up being $100 including the earrings and after care product. Imo, definitely come here instead of getting "the gun" at the mall! read more

Amazing service. Though we didn't end up getting anything pierced Claudia explained to us all the risk of the piercing where as in other places they just pierce you without telling you any of your risks. She was very patient and telling us all of her valid opinions. I highly recommend. read more

So, I have a total of 6 tattoos. Never been to Tattoo by Lous even though it was at the corner of my workplace. I initially went in for a nose piercing off an impulsive whim and got one. My piercer, she was the coolest and super quick the needle. Very chill and great vibes. Because I felt comfortable, I mentioned I wanted to cover up this horrific wrist tattoo I got back when I was 20 from some terrible tattoo artist who was either drunk , high, or just did not give a damn. Totally blotched my vision. Had to stop the mess before it got worse. I spoke with "Glitter". She IMMEDIATELY took a look, we brainstormed for about 2 minutes and she totally targeted by vibe and we went from a super cool Hansa Tattoo with an Eye (as originally intended) and some extras to cover up the shit underneath. We clicked so well that I immediately gave my deposit and scheduled for the first available. My entire experience , before, during, and after my stop was great. It is SO IMPORTANT to find an artist that you actually bond with because it makes the work so much more beautiful. I was very receptive to her suggestions as long as we kept my vision and that's exactly what happened. She was funny, she was as gentle as she possibly could be. Very clean, very professional, so much so that I am coming in for more. I love her style , I love how she LISTENS and she is HONEST. Her color combinations are beautiful and overall , I just felt comfortable man. Thank you G for making my experience a unique one. I've never felt so comfortable at a tattoo parlor in my life. That made me realize tattooing should be a bonding experience between the canvas and the artist and that's why my work now is NoTHiNG in comparison to what it was. She even added a Unalome, freehand, representing a positive path to enlightenment. Like I said, will be back again. read more

Tattoos by Lou was recommended by a colleague that lives here in Miami. I went in and met Ozzy! I showed him my design and made appointment for the next day. The shop is clean, neat and sterile. The employees answer all your questions and are very knowledgeable. They play amazing music which was a plus. Ozzy was professional and fun to talk with while sitting in his chair. They even made me my first cup of Cuban coffee! I absolutely love my design, it bright and colorful, just like me! I have gotten so many compliments! My next visit to Miami I will definitely come back. read more

Don't waste your time going there I just had the worst experience trying to get a touch up on a tattoo I got there a few years ago! The only tattoo artist in the shop said he or any other person there wouldn't touch me since it's not "their" work. Ridiculous!!! Literally driving business away and myself or my friends will never return. UPDATE- Just saw a response from the owner apparently, the girl working the front was speaking with the artist no communications were crossed he knew exactly what he was saying and you shouldn't have people working there if they don't want to work simple as that. He spoke directly to me and was not tattooing at the time so what is your excuse now? read more

I got my septum piercing done here at the end of March and not only were they able to take me without an appointment, but my experience here was much better than other tattoo/piercing shops. They actually had me sign paperwork and asked for an ID, which I've never been asked for in other shops. It was also very clean and my piercer was very knowledgeable. It's been 3 months with my piercing and it healed extremely fast and I haven't had any problems with it. They also have a wide range of jewelry to choose from. I recommend this place to anyone interested in getting a piercing :) read more

This review is in response to the answer that was given to my original review. As stated, I was about to have my first tattoo done and was a bit nervous. As I was filling out the information, I asked the artist who was doing the intake if we could have a change of music because the death metal loud music that was on was adding to my anxiety.( My husband and I are rock musicians ourselves, and are in our late 60s. ) The artist was very nice, but told us that the man laying on the couch with the phone in his hand was the DJ. My husband approached him and asked if we could hear some rock music that was not Alice In Chains. The man told him directly.. No that's what HE wanted and he would not change it. My husband thought that was pretty rude of the man. I then went to him vey nicely, and asked if he could put on some other rock music, and started to explain to him that I was anxious, and the music was adding to the anxiety. The man cut me off in mid sentence, and said that he would not change it, and that's what he liked, so no he would not put on anything else. He said this with quite an attitude. I immediately realized that I wasn't going to persuade him so I gave up. Both my husband and myself were very cordial, quiet, and nice. This whole thing made me even more nervous, so I apologized to the artist who had taken time to draw up a sketch of what I wanted, but told him that we were leaving. My husband and I are both in the service industry as well as being musicians, and had never been treated like this anywhere. I had never encountered anyone like this man before in my life. From there I called my friend who is in the business to ask if he could recommend a tattoo shop, and he recommended another place. we went there and had my tattoo done the same day. Our request was not outrageous, we were polite, but that man's whole demeanor was not accomodating at all. Death Metal music in my opinion is very cliche in this day and age for a tattoo shop. That's my opinion which is not even the point. read more

Today was my second visit to Tattoos by Lou in Kendall and it was just as great an experience as the first time. Ozzie is SO talented and can recreate anything you ask, not to mention he's the nicest guy and is very patient. He's done two pieces of mine that have been very special to me and I couldn't have imagined them coming out better. Absolutely returning for any other tattoos I decide on. Must visit in Miami read more

Ive got 2 tattoos and 2 piercings starting at the age of 16. (Im 37) love 3 out of 4 items my tattoos i love and i still have the lip piercing i got there when i was 16 but my helix piercing ‍ the piercer was a sweetheart but the bar she used hurt like all hell the first 2 months i waited 8 months to change to a hoop and was iffy about changing to a hoop as it still bled and hurt when i changed it but it is finally healing after 9 months of pain and having to take antibiotics and use a cream from my doctor (im stubborn and refuse to take it out i paid for it) other then that i love going there read more

One of the worse places, if you expect a decent tattoo at a decent price then your playing yourself. Not only are they incompetent to make their own original tattoos, but the guy who did my tattoo butcher a simple line tattoo read more

Sarah is the sweetest thing on Earth!! She was so great and knowledgeable. A few weeks after getting pierced, I got punched on the side of the head at boxing and my ears started bleeding. In the morning the tragus ring had been swollen up by my ear. I text Sarah at like 7 in the morning freaking out. I went in the same day, and they just pushed it back out. I would definitely come back, suggest y'all come here, and ask for Sarah. She's an angel. :) read more

Walked in with two friends and had the best tattoo experience so far. We didn't have an appointment but were still attended! Prices were great and our artist Ozzy was incredibly helpful and friendly. I had a simple idea for a tattoo and Ozzy not only gave me great advice for a better placement but halfway into it gave me ideas to make it amazing. I gave him that creative freedom and ended up with my favorite tattoo yet. Wonderful conversationalist too. Covid rules were in place and everything was clean. I felt safe the entire time. Will definitely recommend this place to anyone and everyone. read more

I will not be returning back to this location... the piercing lady was very kind, but the man who did my tattoo (his name was Arlen) was completely out of line. I was completely attacked midway through my session, after making a joke about him not allowing me to laugh or talk. He called me "fucking annoying" and continued to bark at me about how he is a very serious man and did not like to joke around. Being that he was so angry over this, I was worried that he would do something malicious,so I kept quiet for the rest of the session. After seeing how poorly I was treated, my friend (who had planned to get something done) decided to back out being that she was uncomfortable to even be around him. He definitely had a lot of anger in his little body and it makes me wonder how he speaks to everyone else... read more

So I been thinking, planning to further develop my arm/shoulder tattoo, got what I know its a fairly simple one , technically speaking, the guy looks over my drawing, says he can't do it, it was so clearly obvious this guy simply did not want to work. What a disappointment, all my ink up to now was done here!! Not going back, if 7/9/19 Once more, gave them a chance to redeem themselves. This time I went w my son on Sunday, he got some ink. I talked about what I needed, the "artist" tells me price, how long it was going to take, we made app x today. I show up, the guy leaves at 5pm but now instead of one hour, he says it takes 3! Completely out his $&@, says he don't have enough time to do it. Basically I cut my job short to come today and end up completely loosing my working afternoon, simply cuz he days he doesn't want to "rush" it. How can he rush it if the very same tattoo on Sunday is expected to take an hour, but conveniently today its going to take 3!!?? BS. This location is simply not a serious tattooing place. This is simply irresponsable. read more

Stepped into this shop 28 years ago and got my first tattoo which still looks great today from an artist named Spot. Got my second tattoo from them about 15 years ago in honor of my kids from Brady and today got my third from them today with "G" (Sparkle) and I love it! She also helped us design my husbands next tattoo and we will back to get it done with Ozzie. read more

Worst shop I've ever stopped by. Called before stopping by to make sure it would be okay to get a quote in person by the artist, girl on the phone was super welcoming no problem with that. Artist inside on the other hand was completely the opposite. After explaining to her what design I would like to get she completely discouraged it and instead of suggesting different ways to help me out or make the design work she completely turned it around. Way to drive away clients, definitely considered her as an option after seeing work but the environment is not worth it. Keeping my money in my pocket and going to an artist that actually wants to put in the work! read more

I got a Helix piercing with Holly almost two weeks ago and she was very kind and made me feel very comfortable. She placed it just as I wanted (in a way where I can change it to an Industrial piercing later) and it's been healing very well. I would definitely recommend getting pierced here if you are interested. The attached photo is of my piercing today, 13 days after the day I got it. read more

Both my tattoos I've gotten at this location. I actually haven't had a consistent artist but after my second tattoo, I'll never go back without an appointment with my guy. I'm telling you that I got a very intricate, precise, and delicate tattoo and the entire time I had to keep reminding myself that this was supposed to be painful. The conversation was just so good, that my mind was completely disconnected from my pained nerve endings. I love going here because it doesn't feel filthy like most locations that drunken people go to at 1 in the morning. All of the artists have their own personalized studio with their own personal specialties. Going through their portfolios is always fun. What I can say about price is this, there's nothing wrong with haggling. I got my tat cheap and I even gave him comps to see a great Improv show that I participate in. Whenever he wants to see a show all's he's got to do is give me a call. Best part is, I get free touch ups. The location is convenient so you can go out for drinks later to numb the pain. Big tip for first timers, LISTEN to your tattoo artist when he or she gives you recommendations on the healing process. It's VITAL. Yes. Tattoos scab, so you WILL peel so don't freak out. It hasn't all been a waste of money. They didn't overcharge you for a henna. They give great advice, and if you're a regular they treat you like one of their own. read more

Genesis was a phenomenal (earlobe and conch). Fox was talented (touched up a small finger tat). Ozzy didnt make eye contact or speak to a single person in our group but proceeded to chat up the group that arrived after us ‍ so he doesn't seem to be universally stank. Either way, if you don't mind being ignored by the "artist" this place is clean, safe, and the rest of the staff is delightful. Buena suerte! read more

Never going back again. Those people are weird. I had been going to that place for around six months. I got a couples of tattoos and every time I went I had my puppy with me. Back them there was no problem or complain. I went today to get another tattoo and out of nowhere they didn't allow me to get inside with my puppy.they where extremely humiliating and rude ,even though I told them my puppy is a emotional register dog. just because I didn't want their service anymore I didn't call the cops on them. That's against the law if he is a service dog he should be allow to get inside any place I take him. Those people are horrible. read more

My first tattoo, I had always felt afraid of tattooing, I thought it was painful, I went for a recommendation to this place and the attention and professional recommendations were great.

I walked in w a tattoo I wanted duplicated for my youngest son, that I already have for my oldest son. I read reviews about Glitter & I walked in wanting to see her. Kismet had her be the 1st artist to walk out & greet me. So happy she did. Very easy to talk to, a steady hand, beautiful work. I had a sour patch kid for my oldest, & she now gave me one for my youngest son. She even knew the color I wanted it before I told her. Beautiful bright colors, down to the sugary/sour specs on the actual candy, she touched up my older one too, & made it so they're hi fiving each other. Absolutely beautiful work, & I can't wait to see it all healed up. Already have my mind eyeing another session w her. You won't be disappointed if she works on you! read more

Never going back again do not get Armando as an artist, he doesent pay attention to the reference art, he refuses to touch up any work, even if paid for it or the tattoo came out incorrect. He will end your tattoo early if a better offer walks in the door and he probably messes up the stencils on the account of how stoned he gets before the tattoo. He tried 2 charge me 310 for a tattoo we agreed to do for 150, then I had to give him another 100 which I did, then he wanted another, then dropped it to 60. They will not honor their word and the owner does not care and will actively insult your intelligence. My advice? Go somewhere else the shop looks exactly how it is sketchy and shady read more
