Fantastic experience: Brock was awesome. He did an amazing mardi gra mascaraed mask and a beautiful gum ball mystery tattoos. I was here for my birthday from out of state and the wait wasn’t long they weee clean, fast, and all the staff was awesome. Will definitely be making a trip back here and will get another tattoo for sure. Thanks Brock for the amazing work it really ended my weekend with a bang!

Steve Harris Published on Google 2 months ago

Fantastic experience: I decided to get a tattoo as a souvenir of my first trip to New Orleans, back in the beginning of January.I'm very happy with it! They helped me decide on what to get. Squee was the artist that did my tattoo and did a fantastic job. I gave them free rein on what colors to do and am extremely pleased with the end result! I will definitely visit the shop again and DEFINITELY recommend Big Easy Tattoo!

Fantastic experience: Both myself & my daughter had art work while visiting 2 weeks before Fat Tuesday 2026. We stopped by to make appointments the night before we got ink just b/c we were walking by. Normally appointments aren't required. My artist did a fantastic job. I told him I was open to ideas & basically wanted a piece that was associated w/ New Orleans like a "Voo-Doo Doll". But, I needed the color to match the existing sleeve colors. Dude was very knowledgeable & for 7-1/2 hours under the needle, the pain was minimal. The hardest part was staying still.

dpsulliv Published on Google 2 months ago

Fantastic experience: Had a fantastic experience as a walk-in a few weeks ago with Stephen. The artwork was totally on-point. Equally as important, Stephen was open and engaging. Working in a walk-in shop in a touristy area requires a special kind of skill—you never know who is going to stop in. Stephen handled everyone who came in with kindness and professionalism. If you’re in NOLA, this is a great spot to get some ink.

Fantastic experience: Have had a few tattoos done by Squee now and have turned out great, they really nail the color in all sorts of different things

Brian Coley Published on Google 5 months ago

Fantastic experience: Just went for a walk to get my steps in around my hotel. Naturally, i wandered towards the big fluorescent sign that read “Tattoos” as i meandered down Canal st. As i walked up, this perfect of example of what youd want to see in an artist in this shop says “ill change your life”. As it happens, he did. Efficiently, creatively, and exquisitely. Steve left me w/ more than I asked for in all of the right ways. The aesthetic is perfect art meets punk meets urban comfort. The artists are friendly and eager to share their stories. Thank you Steve for the great work and your artistic flair. You def will stand out in this fresh made core memory

Fantastic experience: I had an incredible experience getting pierced by Lee at Big Easy Tattoo! From the moment I walked in, Lee made me feel completely comfortable and at ease. They took the time to explain every step of the process, answered all my questions, and maintained the highest standards of cleanliness and professionalism. The piercing itself was quick, precise, and surprisingly painless thanks to Lee’s steady hand and calm demeanor. You can tell they truly care about both their craft and their clients’ comfort. The shop had a great vibe—clean, welcoming, and full of friendly energy. If you’re in New Orleans and looking for a skilled, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind piercer, go see Lee at Big Easy Tattoo. I couldn’t be happier with the result and the overall experience!

Chuck Cuchy Published on Google 6 months ago

Fantastic experience: Best place in Nola! Squee was very welcoming when we showed up! Got me and my wife in fast. Great price for a great artist. Wouldn’t go anywhere else. Healed fast and still holding color

Jessica Tatman Published on Google 6 months ago

Fantastic experience: My husband and I recently got tattoos here during our vacation. We met with Squee and was able to set something up. It was literally the best experience I've had getting tattooed(and I'm no rookie). Conversation and vibes were awesome. Squee was awesome. Ace was awesome. Tattoo turned out amazing. Seriously considering making the trip back if I ever decide to get a big piece done.

Fantastic experience: I got a rendition of Gran Bois’ veve and I absolutely LOVE IT! Steven did such an amazing job and the line work is phenomenal! I definitely recommend!

Jennifer Tinsley Published on Google 6 months ago

Fantastic experience: Super professional and very nice. My husband is on a kick of us getting tattoos on vacation and this place did not disappoint. Squee did an awesome job! Ace did my husband’s and it also looks great. If you’re in downtown NOLA check them out

Jenna Balloch-Ryan Published on Google 6 months ago

Fantastic experience: My husband and I wanted a quick walk-in tattoo to get matching tats to celebrate our 1st trip to NOLA together, they got us in right away and we were done in an hour! Ace did my girl voodoo doll and Squee did the male voodoo. They were both super nice and I'm so glad we went in!

Lucas Gilbert Published on Google 6 months ago

Fantastic experience: We walked in to get our vacation tattoos. When discussing the tat my wife and I wanted, they worked within our budget. That was wonderful they would do that for us. My wife was matched up with Ace for a black and white lil piece. She went back while Doc was working on my artwork. She was done in no time with a beautiful whimsical witches hat. DOC finished up my artwork. I had a grateful dead rose incorporated into a lightning bolt. I laid down and he got to work on an amazing original piece. I've had many tattoos, and his touch was so light I actually fell asleep a few times. The wife and I are very proud of our new ink. Id give 6 stars if I could!!!

amanda custer Published on Google 7 months ago

Fantastic experience: My wife and I went on our honeymoon last week and got excellent work done by Steve and another artist (she did the tattoo on my wife, and I can not for the life of me remember her name, but I will have my wife do another review to give her a shoutout). Steve made me feel comfortable every step of the way. He even gave me clearance to cuss him out if needed. I may have taken him up on the offer a few times. Sorry again for bringing your mom into it. He was also so quick that I had to question that he was actually finished (usually the case with men, though). JK JK, but seriously, thank you for a memorable experience. You guys seriously rock.

Irene (Lunotaku) Published on Google 7 months ago

Fantastic experience: Visited for Labor Day weekend and did a walk-in. Think the guy who did it was an apprentice. (Sorry I don’t recall his name!) But he was super chill and pretty excited to do this JJK design. Two weeks later and it’s wonderful! Though I did have to take extra care wrapping it up in an area like New Orleans. But with care, I’m very happy with it!

Tate Elizabeth Published on Google 7 months ago

Fantastic experience: Walked in with a group of three and we were out in less than an hour! Christopher was amazing! He was so patient with my sister for her first tattoo, and he did beautiful work.

Britney Gary Published on Google 8 months ago

Negative experience: If I could give it 0 I would. Not the least bit welcoming. We entered the shop and one guy sat there 2 full minutes for speaking to us. Then the artist seemed to be drawing straws to figure out who would be dealing with us. When we finally did start talking to an artist he was super dismissive and short with us. It was made obvious that they didn’t want to service us so we walked out. Pics in the reviews are ugly so I guess it’s a good thing we did.

ms. rell Published on Google 8 months ago

Negative experience: They wanted to charge $150-$200 for just a small friendship tattoo each for 6 girls. They really thought we'd fall for that okie doke? Not us! No tourist price paying here folks. Uh uh! They tried it!

Nicole Parker Published on Google 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: The shop is clean and the staff are all awesome! My artist did an amazing job! I am so in love with her work! I am terrible with names, but I believe her name is Sweets (sp?). My husband and I get tattoos when we travel to represent the area we visited. She went above and beyond what I expected from this piece. My husband’s tattoo (another artist) is now his new favorite, as well.

Arrika Neal Published on Google 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: We had an amazing experience!! Our tattoo artist didn’t disappoint. He was patient, professional, very nice, and knowledgeable!! It was such an awesome experience that my husband fell asleep while getting his and out of the many that I have this new one was the easiest and there was no pain!! We, Arkansans had a great time in New Orleans!! Thanks Big Easy!!! 10/10! We’ll be back!!

Jeremy Holston Published on Google 8 months ago

Negative experience: Wasn't impressed with the price they gave or in general speaking with the staff. You wood think b they would pay better attention to potential costumers.

Fantastic experience: We took a trip to New Orleans and decided we wanted to get tattoos while there so we went to Big Easy tattoo and christopher_coll helped us out we had a design but he was very helpful in recreating our vision and was very nice to all of us was a great experience would definitely get more if/when we go back ,And Tyler the other person working in the shop when we was there was nice as well and made us feel welcome had conversation with us was a happy bubbly person overall a really great experience.

Elita Caldwell Published on Google 9 months ago

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough great things about this tattoo shop! My boyfriend and I decided to do a spontaneous walk-in on a Saturday afternoon, and from the moment we walked up to the door, we felt completely welcomed. We were greeted right away, shown the portfolios of several artists, and told that Steve and Christopher were both available. Both artists have over 15 years of experience and were genuinely excited to tattoo the pinup designs we chose. My boyfriend is a big fan of Sailor Jerry and got his very first pinup tattoo on his thigh. As a former roller derby player, I’ve always wanted a roller derby pinup—and I finally got her, right on my calf! Christopher really listened to what I wanted and absolutely nailed the design. It’s perfect, and I love her. What made the experience even better was how excited both artists were about the pieces they were doing. That kind of energy makes all the difference. This was such a special way to mark our first trip together to New Orleans. We’ll definitely be back—and we’ll never forget the amazing art we got to take home from such a memorable day. Highly recommend!

Danielle Lee Published on Google 9 months ago

Fantastic experience: Went to New Orleans as part of our vacation and decided we were gonna do it the right way and get a tattoo. As soon as we walked in, the energy was amazing and greeted with friendly and helpful staff. Within about an hour the artist had my design drawn up and ready to go! My tattoo turned out AMAZING and exactly how I wanted it. His attention to the details was exceptional and will definitely be returning to this shop on my next vacation! If you’re looking for a clean environment with great tattoo artists and great energy this is your place!

Fantastic experience: My sister and I’s experience at Big Easy Tattoo was beyond amazing. Very helpful and informative staff. Very talented artists who were very great hosts. Their work was efficient and flawless. 10/10 will return !!

Marc Stevens Published on Google 9 months ago

Positive experience: Not the most comfy place. They only accept cash which, in my opinion, is an inconvenience for tourists. Tattoo room was not air conditioned and for a facility to be cash only, it would probably make a lot of sense if your in house ATM was operable. I'm just saying...

Amanda Washburn Published on Google 9 months ago

Fantastic experience: My husband and I each got tattooed as an lasting memory of out trip to New Orleans. I got a voodoo doll and he got a pinup. Both very well done and reasonable priced. We're pleased with the artists and their work. Would definitely go back. Hats off to Manny for his customization.

Nestor Lopez Published on Google 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: ignore all these women in the comments crying about the 3 lines, she’s on the internet crying about getting refused and blaming it on misogyny. You guys do an excellent job and no one is owned anything, appreciate the lovely service , you guys are all rockstars!

MacaroonRumps Published on Google 10 months ago

Negative experience: Couldn’t do a 3 line tattoo 4 hours before your tattoo shop closed Add on: it says more about your artist and your shop than it does about her if you can’t do a 3 line tattoo. I imagine your tattoo artists should have enough experience to do 3 straight lines. Sounds like a skill issue. My review still stands.

Big Easy Tattoo & Co.

We reserve the right to decide if an idea, is a tattooable design, or not I reviewed the footage, and the design was not going to translate onto the skin, how you wanted it. Therefore, we reserve the right to refuse service if we ,as professionals. Do not feel as if it is possible, to deny service. We were not going to put our name, on a design that would not work . We apologize for your inconvenience, but in good conscious, did not feel comfortable with the design. Have a blessed day

Fantastic experience: Lee was super helpful and to the point helping me get some new gauges. They had some cool outlines on the wall for sure. If I'm ever back I'll likely check them out for a tattoo.

Brittni Kocon Published on Google 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: I recently went on a girls’ trip to New Orleans, and we all decided to get tattoos together. Stephen was absolutely amazing and delivered exactly what we wanted! The whole staff was friendly, professional, and super easy to work with. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a great experience and some awesome ink!

chris cox Published on Google 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: Clean shop. Sterile equipment. Great staff! Went in on a whim while on vacation with my girlfriend. We were both able to get our matching tattoos as walk ins and almost immediately. My artist was great, took his time and was devoted to my work. Which I greatly appreciate. Did not feel rushed at all. Both tattoos came out awesome! Highly recommend!!!

Fantastic experience: I had an amazing experience at this tattoo shop! From the moment I walked in, the space was spotless and had a great vibe. The artist was not only professional and welcoming but also incredibly quick without compromising quality. Their attention to detail and creativity really brought my idea to life in a way that exceeded my expectations. I’m beyond happy with my tattoo—it’s a true piece of art. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a clean, efficient, and truly artistic experience!

Positive experience: Girl did awesome looking and finding me options for repacement nipple rings. Remember though your in the qauter. 25 a piece before tax for two not unique ones. 10 to 15 bucks a piece on amazon. I just was looking for replacements not getting it pierced. In a big city to be expected.

Fantastic experience: Stopped in to Big Easy while on vacation just to talk to an artist about tattoos for me and my buddy. After talking @Christopher_Coll we ended up getting them! What a nice guy!

Elizabeth Chambers Published on Google 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: After a memorable trip to New Orleans we wanted a permanent reminder of our visit. As soon as we walked into the shop we knew this was the place for us!! I didn't have an exact tattoo in mine so I decided on a hand drawn tattoo by Squiee. She has amazing art work to choose from. If you are unsure what you want I suggest looking over her work. Squiee is so talented and did some of the most beautiful work on my arm. She is so laid-back and gentle .She made me feel comfortable from the moment I sat in her chair. I recommend her 1000%.

Rachel Medeiros Published on Google 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: Eddie was very patient and encouraging as I was making a decision for my first tattoo during the madness of Mardi Gras! He dealt with me going back and forth to make the design exactly as I wanted, and reassured me every time I had any ounce of doubt! The rest of the team was exceptional, and super fun and welcoming. I can’t remember the girl’s name at the front desk, but she’s fun to strike up a conversation with!! Everything was super clean and sterile and everything you’d hope a tattoo place would be. Immediately wanted another after the first one was completed!

Renee CK Published on Google 1 year ago

Positive experience: Just go. To work backwards, I got a tattoo that I am obsessed with from Christopher. I left pictures of inspiration with my phone number and the fleur de lis I wanted so he could call me on my last day in NOLA. I called and let it ring until it went busy several times before going over to pick up my pictures where I found Christopher outside. I knew I wanted Christopher to do my tattoo while checking out the shop's website and seeing some color work that I really liked. I saw the scroll fleur de lis in their collection but had realized that Ace, who I was consulting with, was more a black ink tattoo artist. Ace is their piercer and I went in to talk to him because I wanted something to leave as a memory of NOLA that, as Sam had said the day before, can't be lost. (I was staying next door to Big Easy so it was easy to keep checking in.) Sam had turned me off by over talking in the street; I had a fresh tattoo that, when I showed him, he said he could fix. There was nothing wrong with it, in fact, I love it. I had gotten the new tattoo before going to New Orleans because I tried to email and call the shop with no response. They are definitely a walk-in place, perfect for impulse tattoos. If you want to go, take cash with you; they are cash only and the ATM next to the store only dispenses $200 at a time. It's a bit nerve wracking. Since you're here, click through to the website and see the work of the different artists. Ace or Sam may be the artist you want, just know before you go. And be ready to leave with a piece you'll love long after your trip.

Thank you for your detailed review, Renee! We're thrilled to hear that you love your tattoo from Christopher and that it helped create a memorable experience in NOLA.

Negative experience: Weirdo working on Sunday, June 30, 2024, caused us to walk away. Not worth wasting our time. He was obviously under the influence of something or he wasn't brave enough to say he didn't want our business. If I could leave it a zero stars, I would. Customer service is essential for any business to thrive. On this particular day, it was severely lacking. I surely hope he wasn't the shop manager.

Fantastic experience: Hubby and I were walk in’s and the level of patience and niceness Tara and Christoper showed with my ridiculous level of nervousness over a small tattoo and making a decision was chef’s kiss lol. Their vibe made me take the leap. Place was clean, Christopher went through the whole process with me, and clearly knew what he was doing. Fast and efficient. Don’t forget cash only, get it before you get there. No ATM inside the shop and the one on the street is slightly shady like in all big cities, though we had zero issues.

Positive experience: Great experience. Located close to my hotel on Canal street. The tattoo was amazing and my artist was nice and friendly and made my idea work. My only issue was it was cash only and I had to use a kinda shady ATM but that wasn't the shops fault I must have missed that on the website. Just letting review readers know have your cash ready.

Negative experience: Visited Big Easy Tattoos on 9/21/24 during a trip to New Orleans for memorial tattoos with my best friend for my best friend’s father. The shop is cool, staff was friendly, nice vibe. They seemed to appreciate the humor and sentiment behind these unique tattoos, we felt comfortable going ahead with a walk in appointment. However- our finger tattoos were $200 (each). Yikes, guys. I know we probably got swindled on the price, cash only no receipts given, but I hoped the quality would’ve been a little better. I even asked the artist to fill it in during the appointment and he said it was “fine”. Tattoo began to fade immediately. I reached out to see if there was anything they could do seeing as the tattoo was fading fast and is almost completely gone after TWO WEEKS. I spoke with someone at the shop and sent pictures, was told they’d be forwarded to the owner to see if any sort of reimbursement could be offered to get this touched up in NY where we live. Haven’t heard back except to say that the employee (not the owner) spoke with the artist who agreed to touch it up if we traveled back to NOLA for an appointment. I even gave the artist a $40 tip- we were so excited for these tattoos. So if you’re in the market for a very expensive, extremely janky tattoo from a place that doesn’t stand behind their craft- this is your place!

The hands and feet are not optimal places to get tattoos, and it is stated on the paperwork your head, and signed, if it's healed, you can come and we will access what happened, no problem, but washing of hands, frequently, will make a finger tattos ink fall out if not correctly taken care of, but we still will be happy to have a look and see if it was something that can be redone for you, and who was your artist?

Fantastic experience: Eddie and Brock both did tattoos on me. The night we arrived In Nola, I spotted the shop and decided to check it out. Eddie was there and set me up with an amazing tattoos. He carries a steady hand and does amazing work. He listens to what you want and asks plenty of questions to execute what you want. Brock put the second tattoo of my trip. He did a cover over another tattoo I had. He also listened and executed the perfect tattoo. He also carries a steady hand. I have thrown out quite a few recommendations to people who ask about them. I receive so many compliments of the work done. I would recommend them to anyone at anytime. Can't wait to come back and get another!!!

Fantastic experience: I don’t leave reviews often but after my experience with Stephen I felt I needed to give him a shout out. I was a walk in as soon as the shop opened. There was no wait and Stephen took the time to discuss orientation and fonts/sizes. He did an impeccable job. Not only does he care about his work but he truly cares about the person he’s tattooing. This was a super important tattoo for me and we had a conversation that I’ll remember for the rest of my life. Thank you for caring Stephen!

Fantastic experience: Stop in here while on vacation to get a tattoo. And like most did not know what to get The artist helped me pick out a little T-Rex for my grandson and the young lady behind the counter had a great idea to turn it into a voodoo doll to remember our trip to New Orleans My tattoo turned out wonderful and it took about an hour we also had fun trying to help him unlock one of their doors I hope they finally got it unlocked I know it was driving one of the gentlemen crazy that it would not open highly recommend this place to environment is incredible goodbye highly recommend if you get a chance to stop in

Fantastic experience: We were in NOLA on vacation and spontaneously decided to get a tattoo to commemorate our time there. My husband chose a voodoo cat in honor of our 16 year old tabby who passed. Squee did his and she was amazing. She was sweet and kind and reminded us of our daughter. I chose a black and blue swallowtail butterfly and Stephen hooked me up. He did an amazing and intricate job, even detailing it with red to make it really pop. He was funny and talented and we had a wonderful conversation. Additionally, Kendall greeted us and she was absolutely adorable. They all made us feel at ease. We spent our entire vacation looking for people who reminded us of family and we found them right here. We plan to make this an annual tradition. I cannot recommend these sweet people enough.
