I have thousands of dollars worth of tattoos on my body from the last 28 years of my life. I have never in that time received such a low quality tattoo that looks like it was tattooed with disappearing ink. As its healing/disappearing it looks more like I was scared than tattooed. This is an extremely basic tattoo that is just lettering that I paid more for that the other tattoo pictured that is over 2 years old and I have treated and healed the exact same way as this one. With over 20 tattoos on my body I know exactly how my skin heals and how well I hold ink this is just basic negligence and hopefully this artist worst tattoo of their life cause I would absolutely hate to think that this person is out there charging outlandish prices for such botched work. If I were the owner of this shop I would hope that they would reevaluate who they allow to work there.
My partner and I came in as walk ins and we were shown the best possible outcome of a tattoo shop. Stephen is a phenomenal artist who shows experience in his pieces and I cannot hype this artist enough. On top of being a top tier artist he has the ability to make getting a tattoo relaxing and exciting. Not only was the tattoo phenomenal and more reasonably priced for the quality than I could have asked for, but the entire experience was emaculate. I am so happy to not only have this amazing piece of art, but I also have a great memory that completely made our vacation.
The man who did my tattoo did a phenomenal job! I absolutely love it and it has healed so greatly! I was a walk in about 2 days ago and I couldn’t be happier that I decided to pay them a visit. 11/10 would recommend to anyone in the area wanting some ink. (I’m also not a local. I was there on vacation)
Did a walk in tattoo and had a general idea of what I wanted that Kyle turned into a piece I absolutely love. The shop was organized and clean, the artists were friendly and reasonable. Kyle was so awesome when it came to the sensitive areas on my collar piece and kept talking me through the tattoo. I will definitely be coming back to get some more work done by him!
Great staff and excellent work. It was my first tattoo and they made it so easy and worked with me on every step. They gave me a price up front and paid it before I started the tattoo. GREAT JOB!! I wish I could remember the artists name (sorry man!) but hes the one with his whole face covered in tattoos.
Stephen is great. They took us as a walk in appointment, he spent a long time making sure our idea was sketched out, gave his feedback on what he thought would make the design pop, and executed it flawlessly. We had a great time with the whole experience. I love my cicada tattoo and Id go back any time.
Stephen was my artist. He took time to ensure exactly what I wanted and that I had a pleasant experience. He was more concerned about the art and the comfort of my environment than anything else... great guy... good time!
This place was amazeballs! We check with them via telephone for seat availability. A nice young lady answered the call and said sure come right in. We can get you in for sure. So we took the drive. We were greeted by her smiling face upon arrival. She walked us through the whole process from start to finish. We were checking a price on a piece when I noticed the gumball machine and decided I wanted to do that. So I pull a 100 out and at the mercy of the machine, threw 2 quarters in to get what I was to receive. I received exactly what spirit intended for me to get. Dave tatted me and did a phenomenal job with the creation of my newest piece. Shannon tatted my wife and did great too on her 100 dollar random fun. It was a great experience in all. We will warn Shannon has a little bit of a heavy hand, so maybe not for the first timers. This place is it, look no further! Stop in for a lifetime piece! We will be back!
Steven was fantastic! He listened to what I wanted and made suggestions. Definitely will go back!
Went in to get a tattoo on a whim and Kyle was so awesome he took my general idea and turned it into a very lovely chest piece of barbed wire and ivy. Will definitely be coming back for some more art by him. Was very professional and didnt make me feel bad for taking a couple breaks, kept the conversation going and the atmosphere was very welcoming. Ask for Kyle!
My husband and I went in for matching tattoos! While his was done by the gentleman that drew up the tattoo mine was not. Frankie did my tattoo and he was super nice but he is clearly an apprentice and I was not informed of that. The lines are super shaky and do not meet correctly. And the shading is def off. The other tattooist aske a couple times if he saw how he did it and he shook it off. I am super disappointed with this tattoo as it is longer and slimmer and not nearly as beautiful as my husbands.
Came in to get Tattoos with my friends. I must say this was our first and this was unfortunately the worst experience we have ever had. The staff does not know how to communicate to customers. This shop is very busy the staff will not pay attention to customers or try to make you feel comfortable.The tattoo artist stated that he was in a hurry and misplaced my friends tattoo. They are all about the money and do not care for the well Being of customers. After receiving our tattoos we were never given any care instructions. We came back to Express our concern about the the issue and we were spoken to in a condescending tone and rude a manner as if we were less than, though we came respectfully. The owner kept making up lies of things that never happened when we were there originally. I am truly traumatized from this. I usually do not leave reviews especially bad ones but I had to warn others to NOT GO TO THIS SHOP. Especially if it is your first time.
I received a tattoo that scarred my arm really bad. I paid extra for a vibrant color that was not “vibrant” at all. For my first tattoo I am highly disappointed. Also feel as though i was overcharged due to receiving a new, bigger and better tattoo that had over 8 colors for the same amount that I paid just to get a small triple linking heart single color tattoo from here.
My artist name is Shannon. He did a memorial tattoo for my son who was killed. I went to see Shannon this past Wednesday and he did an amazing job. I live here in New Orleans and I will be recommending him to everyone I know that wants some work done. He is also very funny. He kept me laughing. Great guy. Great place. 5 stars from me. I will be back for future pieces.
Shoutout to Steven for tattooing myself and my partner he made us feel extremely comfortable. The tattoo was so quick and clean by the way.
I had some ink done, nothing major, but was treated like I was a VIP. Awesome staff, had laughs, and great conversation. Highly very highly recommend here. Thank you for a fabulous experience.
My husband and I stopped in during our vacation. We both ended up getting tattoos. Chris did mine. David did a coverup tattoo for my husband. They were both very professional, fast, and friendly. They both did amazing jobs! We will be back next time we are in town.
Came to NOLA on a mini vacation and wanted to get a tattoo to remember my trip. Steven was very professional and an outstanding artist. Showed him a picture of what I wanted and he did a outstanding job. Will definitely be getting another one on my new trip from him.
I was excited to get a tattoo with my son and daughter after calling a few times and waiting for hours we were finally told to come in. We traveled to the shop just to be greeted by a drunk tattoo artist who said he’s been an artist for 20 years. If that’s the case he should have known better! Who’s going to allow someone that’s extremely intoxicated to tattoo them! Certainly not me
Jimmy was amazing. He did wonderful work with a gentle hand and made my sons birthday tattoo a truly memorable experience.
The best! Hands down, we went in to inquire about tattoos and when I showed him what I wanted he saw the vision and expand on it along with impressing me with the hidden letter of this beauty. Change is good and Stephen really impressed me. Very happy customer here and he matched it with my skin tone❣
Great atmosphere & clean. We were here on vacation and my daughter and I got matching tattoos. We had 2 different artists. We got same picture, but they gave us their own touches. We are in love! Ill be coming to see David when Im back in NOLA.
Loved Kyle McNeese! Great conversation, great skills, and great experience for my first experience.
Great place to get a tattoo. They even take walk ins.
Big Easy is the best tattoo shop in town because of the best tattoo artist, Jimmy Good Money. Why? They adhere to COVID-19 precautions and once cleared, it’s straight to work. Nice, clean station. One of my rules for picking an artist is that the person has to be able to execute uniform, steady, even, clean lines. Since I needed script done, I needed someone who understood spacing and lettering... someone who can spell too. Jimmy is REALLY good at that. It was smooth and absolutely fantastic. I am going to come back for more work. My tattoo healed perfectly and I need to show it off. Come through people!
When you have a tattoo in mind, browse previous work from the artist you are thinking of working with. Though mostly all well rounded,most artists in this shop have different styles/techniques. Find the best artist for you based on the quality of their previous jobs. Tattoos are made to wear for life. Be happy with your choice. Thank you all!
Poor service. Made an appointment, it wasnt honored and then they tell us if we paid a deposit, they would have honored it, yet no one said a deposit was required when we called, more than once. Seems fishy to me, we dont sound black on the phone, but when we got there our voices didnt match the color.
Steven did awesome job on me and my husband to be hands we love it and will definitely be back for art work again loved the music bro was on point
Go there! Ask for David and get an awesome tattoo!! Its an amazing shop!! David is the best! You will absolutely love your tattoo!
Christopher Coll is fantastic. 10/10 would recommend.
Great customer service and great artists w great work! Thanks guys!
Steven is a Real Bro! He did mine and my ladies and he did an awesome job! I couldn’t be happier! I came down from Dallas for St Pattys Day and he made my whole trip worth it! Thanks bro! Y’all go see him!!
Overall impression, not the best but about what Id expect in NO. They dont take phone calls and there was no one working the front desk. We arrived at 1 on a Saturday. There was 1 artist and 3 people ahead of us getting very small tattoos. We expected a bit of a wait, but we were told it would be about 45 minutes so we stayed. Our group of 4 ended up waiting 3 hours to get started and spent 4 hours total there. Overall the quality is ok, Ace was great and make the experience better. Probably wouldnt go back, but it was an experience for sure.
Down for our honeymoon from KCMO and my wife says she wants to get tattoos. Steven did a great job personalizing a couple fluer de lis for us both. Worked us both in with very little wait, great pricing, and excellent work! We will be back!
If I could rate this place with negative stars I would. I’ve tried to go to this place twice and each time I received negative and annoyed tones from the employees, but almost all non-black people that I know that have gone here have little to no complaints. I don’t know if maybe I’ve gone at bad times, or if it’s clear that this shop is not friendly and welcoming towards black people.
If you n new Orleans and feel like you need some ink therapy it’s a must you go see Chris I’m in love with my piece ...I just told him the area and I wanted a flower so he free handed it on my arm I couldn’t be happier ...I am now in love with traditional can’t wait to get another one
Went in this shop and everyone was just RUDE. Super judgemental and they dont respect your time.They seem to never know whats going on inside the shop or when they will be ready to tattoo you. An hour and a half wait turned into 4hrs and we still didnt get tattooed... safe to say I was glad I didnt get a tattoo from this place..
The staff was absolutely a joy to be around and so friendly! My tattoo artist did an amazing job and made sure I was comfortable when getting my first tattoo. Will definitely be going back for more!
Went to get a tattoo and met steven and he was amazing! I love his work and the other guys are cool as ever! I will be returning on my next trip to New Orleans
Stephan did a tattoo for my sister and I— we walked in with no appointments prepared to be told we needed an appointment. Stephan happily took care of us including drawing up a custom piece. He worked with us to develop the design before he went to work. All around it was the most fabulous experience and I would highly recommend him and big easy tattoo to anyone that is looking for a great shop!!
Chris took care of a old tattoo my wife wanted covered up. Professional, friendly and knows his craft.
Super friendly ladies, but beware if you’re from out of town! I got “be nice or leave” tattooed on my forearm and unfortunately, it turned out kind of lopsided. I was asked to pay in advance, so upon discovering the defect, my $150 was already a sunk cost. My artist, Ace, offered to retouch the tattoo but would not allow a refund (not even for the tip paid in advance), despite the original payment being made through Venmo. Thankfully, I have an artist back home who will be helping me make this piece into something I can enjoy.
Great experience. Steven was very professional, he customized my tattoo perfectly to what i wanted. Would definately go back again.
I got my tattoo done by Stephen. He’s very nice and professional and also informative. He try’s his best to get you in and out quick without sacrificing quality of work, worth every penny!
We met Raider at the big easy tonight and he was amazing. I went in and showed him some stuff I was interested in and he collaborated it in his own artistic way and made it 100 times better. Hes amazing with color and he knows what looks good. If youre looking for someone who knows what theyre doing, please see him!!!He really puts his heart into his work and it shows. 🖤🖤🖤
Shannon tattooed me at 1am and it turned out beautiful and now I’m back to have Jimmy tattoo me as well and JayNdaboX let me ride his electric skateboard this place is off the chain 🙌🏽🥰
Only in town for a few days for my 30th birthday. Came here after researching online for day prior. Will always come back ebeeutime in town. Im so in love with my new piece.
While getting tattooed on 10/21 by Terry, he was falling asleep and leaning against my arm while working. There are stray lines coming down off of the tattoo where the gun ran down my arm while he was falling asleep. When I asked for my money back, they told me they would touch it up, which I didn’t want for obvious reasons. They have not returned my calls since. It is now infected and in a great amount of pain.
I felt like family! They treated me so friendly. I walked in and they took care of me every time. I had a 4-day stay in New Orleans, and I came here every night. They’re so welcoming and caring of their customers. I was treated very special like I was their own. I do recommend coming to this facility. Their tattoos are extraordinary and timely. I would come here every time I come to New Orleans.
David is the best works well with people and is very professional. His art work is great and when puts it on skin he makes it look even better. He took me as a walk in and had me out of there in two hours. Highly recommend David to anyone
So found this place thru a friend and google, I could have done a walk in the day I called but instead I scheduled an appointment for the next day. They were very nice, clean and professional, they did very well on my mom, daughter and my tattoos, they did everything we asked. The cost of the tattoo was pricey but we were in nola so I get it. Other then that I recommend this place to anyone wanting a good quality tattoo
Just got a Tattoo from Terry. He did an amazing job. I would definitely recommend him!!
Had a color touch up done by Steven. He did an amazing job. Amazing!!! I’ve always loved my tattoo but, I may love it even more more now. He really listened to what I wanted but also brought his own ideas to the table which were not only good, but brought new life to my piece!
Great service!
Stephen did two wrist tattoos for me, and they turned out amazing! This was my first tattoo experience, so I was a little nervous, but after meeting with him, all of my fears subsided. He made sure to take the time and care to make them look exactly how I wanted them to. He was also extremely helpful with the aftercare instructions as well. These two tattoos are easily the best souvenirs I’ll bring back home to Canada, and I’m glad they’re from an incredible artist and tattoo shop, love you guys!! ❤️
Steven and Ace tattooed my friend and I and they were so friendly and did an amazing job. Highly recommend!
Didnt get a tattoo because they wouldnt give us a sketch before we paid with no money back. That is just weird 😕.
My friends and I were visiting the area and looking to get some tattoos. After reading reviews/testimonials we decided on this tattoo shop. The artists were very friendly. It was my first tattoo so I was fairly nervous but my artist made me feel pretty calm about it. The result was more than I could’ve asked for. We came back the next day for my boyfriend’s tattoo and again the artist was personable and fun to talk with. The owner of the business was easy to talk with and after learning more about the people/shop I really wish I lived closer to come back! Both tattoos were good enough to warrant a trip back to New Orleans.The shop itself was clean and the environment was fun. I really enjoyed looking at the artwork of the tattoo artists.
An amazing experience! Andy was my artist. Extremely talented and courteous. Would recommend this shop to anyone and everyone. Awesome artwork by far, the best souvenir from New Orleans!
Ace was friendly and was able to take me in right away. She pulled off a decent size tattoo quickly. Price was fair and the shop seemed chill. Overall Id recommend if you want a tattoo and are in the area.
Stephen is literally the best person in that building. Very detail oriented, clean, and just a great artist in general. Came back for my second tattoo from him and it looks absolutely amazing! The whole staff was amazing and very welcoming. Will be back for my next one from Stephen!!
We went to NOLA for the night and all decided to get tattoos. Not really sure why we chose this place, but I’m glad we did. There were 4 of us and 3 different artists. They were great and got right to work. Great senses of humor and greats artists! Thanks for the perfect way to honor our kids!
I love my tattoo Kyle you are the man!!!!!!
Best tattoos ive gotten
Jason was very helpful when it came to all my questions and ideas of a tattoo. Though I did not get anything, he was patient and friendly. He gave my friends and I a great spot to go eat too which we enjoyed! Thanks for your hospitality Jason! :)
Oh my gosh!!!! We are here on vacation from Florida and no intention on doing this but decided at the last minute that we would. He is absolutely amazing!!!! Our tattoo looks awesome!!! I had no idea it could look so good!!! He took a 1983 tattoo and made it look brand new and added so much more!!! This guy is a genius!!!! Thank you so much.
Amazing first time experience! I was so scared to get my first tattoo but they immediately engaged into making me feel comfortable and providing a relaxed atmosphere for me to be calm about getting one. ACE did my tattoo! She looks amazing and does amazing work! Im so happy with my outcome!! I Will recommend to everyone who visits New Orleans. We enjoyed every moment. 💖💖💖
Got a tattoo done by Andy Hutchko today it was a wedding band for my 5 yr anniversary. with a 11am opening and 100$ minimum. All the work Andy sat down and did with me to make a beautiful piece. telling me what would look best and what to stay away from. seriously awesome parlor and people. recommend for anyone to go get their ink done!
Cool, clean, and friendly shop. Came in with my idea for a tattoo, Tony took it and ran, had great suggestions to help improve it. Also less expensive than other shops in the area.They even made some great suggestions on where to eat, for good local food, (Cajun Mikes) right around the corner.Oh, and the tattoo turned out great.
Great atmosphere with super cool staff. Great line work and talked me into some shading that made it 10x better. Great place.
Everyone was very nice!!! Ace hooked me up for sure!!! She did an amazing job!!! Price was perfect!!! And I would recommend everyone go see Ace!!! She is Bad@$$ !!! Very much worth it!!! Thanks ❤❤
My husband and I had an amazing experience thank you guys!
Poor customer service. Didnt stay for service.
We went to the shop spur of the moment. Stephen talked us through our design and created 2 great pieces. Very clean lines and beautiful work. Definitely recommend him and the shop!
