Experiencia fantástica: Jonah was a chill and very professional dude. Better yet he absolutely killed this tattoo, couldn’t be happier

Experiencia fantástica: they were so awesome! they make getting a tattoo comfortable and hassle free :) yari killed it!

Experiencia fantástica: Yari was amazing. He did my sons first tattoo and it was meaningful and a great experience. Can’t wait to go back for our next tattoo!

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing!! Paige did my tragus and it looks so good! She walked me through every step and I'd recommend her 100%! Ask about the bendertron!!

Experiencia fantástica: Vic is phenomenal, I sent them a couple of inspiration pics and they final outcome was AMAZING

Experiencia fantástica: Just got my first tattoo done by Jonah, awesome and love the results!

Experiencia fantástica: i came in for one tattoo, left with two and both are fantastic! jonah is fabulous (and very convincing) and makes sure that you’re gonna love what you get!

Experiencia fantástica: Paige was so professional and calming. Went in super nervous and sweating profusely and she reassured me that she wasn’t nervous and answered all my questions confidently. Loved my experience and felt safe and clean the whole time!

Experiencia fantástica: My sister and I went to each get a tattoo and everyone in the shop was wonderful! Mack came from painting a mural at Be True and she was amazing! Clean line work, gentle hands, and was so fun to chat with during our session. The shop itself was awesome too. Really cool decor and super clean. Can't wait to go back!

Experiencia fantástica: Jonah did a great job on our tattoos. A group of 3 of us went to get matching tattoos. He was super patient with us. They came out great!

Experiencia fantástica: Loved it! Everything went so smoothly and the workers are so nice! For my first tattoo I definitely am proud of my decision for going here!

Experiencia fantástica: The experience of getting tattooed by Jonah was incredible from start to finish. The artist understood the vision and elevated it with a unique artistic style. The artist's portfolio showcases a keen eye for [e.g., intricate line work, vibrant color blending, or realistic shading]. The finished piece is a testament to that skill. The final tattoo is even better than imagined. The artist demonstrated patience and dedication during the creation process, and they clearly poured passion into every detail.

Experiencia fantástica: Paige was amazing! Talked me through the whole process! Definitely will be back!

Experiencia fantástica: I'm a few months late but damn did Jonah treat me right. My tomahawk tattoo turned out awesome. Looking to get it colored in soon.

Experiencia fantástica: Jonah was amazing, and made the experience an absolute highlight of this small tattoo!! Thank you!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Paige did a fantastic job making sure it was all even and the right fit for me and my anatomy. Fantastic service and an amazing hang out.

Experiencia fantástica: Paige did amazing with my navel! All of the crew was super sweet and respectful! Will always recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Paige was so fun!! Fantastic piercing experience, can’t wait to come back.

Experiencia fantástica: Got 2nd lobes pierced by Paige! She is very humble and funny! Piercings were quick and pretty painless! On top of the excellent service she also served looks, very stylish indeed! (Photo unrelated to service but a perfect representation of my experience and how the piercings have made me feel)

Experiencia fantástica: I got my second helix on my left ear. Paige is the resident piercer at Instant Classic Tattoo, although she has helped me previously at Be True Tattoo. Paige’s passion for her craft shows in every aspect of the experience she provides. She is well-educated, experienced, and extremely informative. She was as invested in helping me choose my jewelry as she was meticulously plotting where to best position it on my ear. She then described each action she was taking as she prepped my ear which was extremely comforting. Even having gotten piercings before, I find having someone fiddle with your ear where you can’t see can be unnerving. Paige’s funky and fun personality and style is just the icing on the cake of my appointment. She is just as personable as she is professional. I would highly recommended her 1000%. We are already planning out my next 5 piercings

Experiencia fantástica: Jonah was amazing! He’s personable, funny, and over a great artist!

Experiencia fantástica: Paige is the exact person that you want stabbing tiny holes in your body! My piercings came out exactly how I wanted, and Paige was super fun and kind during the session. 10/10 would recommend getting stabbed by this person again

Experiencia fantástica: Paige is absolutely incredible! She is not just knowledgeable, she takes the time to go over placement and jewelry options until you’re confident with the placement of the piercing and happy with the jewelry chosen! She is personable and simply lovely, and also gives you an awesome gold star when you’re done!

Experiencia fantástica: Went to my girl, Paige, for piercings and it’s always an amazing experience. While Be True is out of commission, instant classic has been a wonderful replacement for the time being. Everyone there is extremely nice and welcoming! Never gotten a tattoo here, but seen some of their work and def recommend. But of course highly highly recommend my girl, Paige. She’s the best.

Experiencia fantástica: My artist was Jonah he was super helpful and talented. Was speedy and quality at the same time I will definitely want him to tattoo me again :)

Experiencia fantástica: 10/10 piercing experience with Paige! Very informative and made sure I was comfortable throughout my whole appointment. Will absolutely be coming back!

Experiencia fantástica: The piercer, Paige, was absolutely amazing! She had all the energy and enthusiasm I could ever ask for and made the whole process so easy to understand. She definitely took attention to the details and walked me through everything. I felt extremely comfortable coming here!

Experiencia fantástica: Just an absolute experience! I will definitely be back. Go here for your tattoo needs, Jonah is awesome!

Experiencia fantástica: Paige was absolutely amazing! Her knowledge and dedication to perfectionism was unmatched! If your looking for a piercing Paige is your Girl!!

Everyone that I’ve met in this shop is always kinda and great to talk to. The artwork is awsome too. I love my tattoos from this shop. 10/10 would recommend if you’re looking for your next tattoo.

Experiencia fantástica: I wanted to get a tattoo with the “Oh the places you’ll go” air balloon with my dad’s handwriting, and it was just perfect!! Everyone was super sweet, and Vick was great to talk to! Love love love Be True Tattoo and Instant Classic tattoo, and I will 10000% be back!!

Experiencia fantástica: Paige is super sweet, takes her time, and is really meticulous with her work. I’ve been happy with everything I’ve gotten done definitely recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Great experience, artists are super friendly, and I like the quality of my tattoo!

Experiencia fantástica: Had my first tattoo experience today here with Jonah. I’m extremely happy with the work and experience and am already planning my next visit here. Every staff member I interacted with was great as well, and the process was extremely easy.

Experiencia fantástica: Jonah was amazing! 10/10 experience in every way possible! 100% going back for an eagle. New favorite place with amazing energy!

Experiencia fantástica: Jonah was amazing! He's incredibly kind, funny, informative, and his work art is clean and very well done! I love my little bat tattoo!

Experiencia fantástica: Lainy was great! Very thoughtful and designed exactly what I wanted to match my other tattoo. 10/10 recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: I had such an amazing experience at this shop! Lainy was my artist and she was absolutely incredible. She’s super talented, kind, and made me feel completely comfortable throughout the whole process. The vibe of the place was so chill and welcoming. My tattoo came out beautiful and exactly how I pictured it. Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: I had a tattoo with Vick and they are awesome! Super sweet, understanding, and overall just a kind soul. 11/10 would recommend. Tattoo is fresh and weeping a bit, but it looks amazing. ❤️

Experiencia fantástica: Jonah is an absolute artist in every sense of the word. From the moment I walked in, Jonah made the experience personal and meaningful. He took the time to understand the story behind my tattoo and brought it to life with precision, creativity, and intention. Every line was clean, every detail thoughtful — it wasn’t just ink, it was storytelling through skin. He’s not just technically skilled — he’s a calm, steady presence that makes the whole process easy, even for someone like me who wanted something deeply symbolic. Jonah’s passion for his craft shows in his work, and his professionalism and chill vibe made it easy to trust him completely. If you’re looking for someone who brings your vision to life with clarity, soul, and expert hands — Jonah is your guy. I’ll be back without question.

Experiencia fantástica: My brother and father and I decided to get matching tattoos while on a trip, and Lainy was super accommodating and was able to take us the next day, a Sunday, which I believe they are by appointment only. Tattoos were generously priced and she did a great job making everyone comfortable and that we were getting exactly what we wanted! Will definitely be back when in the area next. I ended up with 2. A Sasquatch and the Alligator Head my brother and dad also got.

Experiencia fantástica: Jonah Watson a.k.a Kenyatta, HANDS DOWN THE BEST!!!!!! Received my 5th & 6th tattoo today from him. This guy is dedicated and passionate about his work but more than his art he is accommodating to his clients!!! Keep up the great work man! Jonah Watson @ Instant Classic Tattoo

Experiencia fantástica: lainey has taken amazing care of me, not one but two times! She is so understanding Of her clientele and Incredibly talentedat what she does!! She listens to all my thoughts on my piece and makes me feel so comfortable when getting my tattoo. Loved every experience I’ve had!

Experiencia fantástica: Very personable with the customers. Took the time to help decide what we wanted and detail for each tattoo. Definitely recommend this place.

Experiencia fantástica: Went in for a walk-in for my first tattoo and Jonah took great care and helped me figure out what I wanted. Shop is very clean and you can tell the staff loves what they do. Will recommend to friends for sure.

Experiencia fantástica: Jonah was amazing he took his time to make sure I got not only what I wanted but assisted with placing it so I can build a sleeve

Experiencia fantástica: Came here for a Friday the 13th flash sale, and left super happy!! I love Instant classic’s and its sister shop, Be true tattoo’s vibes! Instant classic is a cozy little shop with the coolest decor, and the coolest artists ever! My artist, Jonah, was super cool and chill! His work is incredible, and I love the look of my tattoo! His linework is super clean, and the tattoo is healing very well! He also took breaks which was much appreciated because the line work was a little thicker than I normally get. The end price was $80, $60 for the medium sized tattoo and $20 for tip! Overall amazing vibe and good prices!!

Experiencia fantástica: Yari did a fantastic job! First tattoo and was a great experience made sure I was comfortable the entire time!

Experiencia fantástica: Such a friendly vibe as soon as you walk in! Smiles all around, laughing, joking, everybody enjoying themselves as tattoos come to life on clients. The decorations were 20/10 and a worker was joking around with me within moments of walking in. Plus the tattoo came out so well it’s absolutely adorable, keep in mind the picture is from immediately after my artist finished so that’s why it looks irritated! Thanks for a great experience ❤️❤️

Experiencia fantástica: I love this shop! Every artist and staff member delivers excellent customer service and truly cares about giving you an enjoyable tattoo experience and a tattoo you will love forever. I will continue to book with Lainy for a long time, but every artist at the shop is extremely talented. Lainy makes great conversation and treats her clients like dear friends.

Experiencia fantástica: I went there for the Friday the 13th event and everybody was super nice! I love my tattoo it's perfect!! I recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Went for flash on the 13th and maybe waited like 45 minutes. Everyone was so cool and the environment was very comfy. Charlie did mine and I’m obsessed!!

Experiencia fantástica: My first tattoo and Lex from BeTrue was amazing!! Made me so comfy and was great with conversation! Went for their Friday the 13th event and I’m so happy I did. They also moved pretty quickly but were super thorough!

Experiencia fantástica: back for my second time!! this place always makes me feel welcome and at ease. with someone like myself with horrific anxiety, all the staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. two for two for the best tattoo experiences i've ever had!! my tattoo artist today was Lainy, who was incredibly quick, sweet, funny, and understanding!

Experiencia fantástica: Went in for a Friday the 13th flash sale, Charlie tattooed me. Waited for about an hour and the tattoo itself took maybe 20-25 minutes. Charlie was super nice and everyone there was super helpful :) I really like my tattoo :)))

Experiencia fantástica: Just started my back piece with Charlie. I’m so impressed by the talent of not only Charlie but the whole staff. Charlie is very professional and super friendly. He did a great job bringing my ideas to life. Throughout the design and tattoo process, he was super communicative and flexible with me and regularly touched based about the design. The rest of the staff were also super friendly and it was a very fun and calm environment. Can’t wait to finish up the piece!

Experiencia fantástica: Ms Lainy provided the best tattoo experience I've had. She did amazing line work and FREE HANDED my floral wrap-around tattoo from the top of my foot to my hip. She was able to help me find what looked good with my body shape! She was so easy going and I will definitely be returning to her for future tattoos.

Experiencia fantástica: Wow! I was visiting from out of town and wanted matching tattoos with my sister. I called before opening hours, and the owner still called me back right away. From start to finish, the experience went above and beyond. Jonah, our tattoo artist, was quick, funny, and nailed our design!! I’ll definitely be back!

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve gotten three pieces at Instant Classic with Charlie, and each experience has been great. The shop is chill, the tunes are good, and the work is exceptional.

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve been coming to this shop for a while working on my leg sleeve with Travis, he’s always professional and easy to work with, definitely hit them up for your next piece.

Experiencia fantástica: Jonah did an amazing job on my cover up. I couldn’t be happier!!

Experiencia fantástica: Walked in on a random Tuesday for a cover up. Jonah took great care of me. The service was top tier and the vibes were great. Will definitely be back again.

Experiencia fantástica: Jeff and I have been inked by Charlie Bear twice and We won’t go anywhere else! Charlie is an incredibly talented artist and a beautiful soul. His personality and skill make him great at what he does. Our recommendation is to book an appointment with any of the artists @ Instant Classic or their sister store, Be True! You won’t regret doing so

Experiencia fantástica: Jonah was so nice and friendly. He was easy to communicate with and did a fantastic job. I would recommend him and the studio.

Experiencia fantástica: Jonah is not only friendly & witty, he’s also true to his craft! I made an appointment a week in advance & ended up having to cancel day-of due to an urgent family matter. Jonah was understanding & rebooked me ASAP. When he showed me my tattoo sketch, he had taken my reference photo and put his own creative spin on it. Although I liked it, it wasn’t quite what I had pictured. He listened to my concerns, and explained why my original reference wouldn’t be ideal due to size and placement. He showed me a book of tattoos with the style I was looking for. We found one that would be perfect & he implemented my suggestions. The tattoo ended up being way better than my original idea! I am so glad I listened to his expertise & definitely recommend him as your tattoo artist!

Experiencia fantástica: Charlie and the crew at instant classic are amazing. Honestly best place to get tattooed in acadiana! Go check out their Instagram their work speaks for itself

She took the ideas I had and blew it out of the water and beyond what I expected! The scheduling process was smooth and easy. The atmosphere was welcoming and the music and vibe was pretty chill and honestly humorous with the jokes being thrown around. It was clean, my artist was very clean and through. She explained everything wonderfully. 10/10! Thank you for an amazing experience and amazing tattoo! Will definitely be back!

Experiencia fantástica: Lainy was amazing!!! Made us feel super comfortable throughout the whole process! The staff was very friendly had us laughing the entire time! Highly recommend 20/10

Experiencia fantástica: This shop deserves more than 5 stars. They made an intimidating process, extremely friendly and comfortable. Lanie made me feel at ease, and the experience so enjoyable. It felt like I was doing a session with really close friends even though that was our first tattoo appointment. Joshua and Charlie were extremely accommodating, even playing some of my music while I was getting tatted. That was a neat touch. 20/5 experience here, do not waste your time in other shops. THIS IS THE SHOP.

Experiencia negativa: Phil tattooed me, he was unpleasant and did a poor job on my little tattoo. Had to get it touched up within a couple months by a better artist.

Experiencia fantástica: 100% recommended. Josh is phenomenal! Not only with his hospitality (and generally being a good guy) but his experience and attention to detail goes above and beyond. Could not be happier how my tattoo turned out. Will definitely be back for my future ideas.

Experiencia fantástica: Came in for line work. Great atmosphere! Easily one of the top tattoo shops in Lafayette! Everyone was friendly and very accommodating! Excited to schedule my next appointment to get my ears styled!

Experiencia fantástica: I was able to get in to see Eric for my latest tattoo, a memorial for my sisters. Despite some scheduling hiccups, he was still willing and able to work me in. Very friendly guy and a great artist. I’d been wanting a text tattoo but knew that I needed someone with fine line skills to get it done right and Eric served it up! It’s exactly like what I envisioned in my mind for the last year+. I’m glad I waited and found the right place and artist. Thanks again!

Experiencia fantástica: No wonder it’s a five star tattoo shop!! I’m so glad that I made the right choice and came here to get my huge back tattoo . Makayla was AMAZING in every way! She really knows her stuff and if I were you, I would trust her judgment more than your own . Very professional people overall, they go above and beyond with extra complimentary services and sanitary measures. Their awesome vibe, ambience and music was just a cherry on top. Look no further than this place for your next tattoo. Seriously awesome people

Experiencia fantástica: Great experience. Super clean. Makayla was awesome and did a wonderful job making my babies part of me forever. I could tell that effort went into the design. I was only going to get the lettering tattoo because the price quoted was a little over my budget but the energy and vibe I got from Makayla is what solidified my decision to get my color one as well. Friendly, playful atmosphere... great music. I liked that I was off in the side room as someone with anxiety & PTSD. I was able to be in my own little tattoo bubble for two very significant and meaningful tattoos. My mom and I will be back for more art by Makayla.

Experiencia fantástica: Phil is doing my leg sleeve and every session feels like easy and stress free. He does incredible work and will use him for all my future tattoo projects. He’s taken the ideas that I had and created a full concept. I look forward to each session.

Experiencia fantástica: I got my first tattoo done today and I couldn’t be happier. Everyone was so friendly and kind. I was in and out in no time and my tattoo came out perfect. It looks better than I could have ever imagined. Eric did an amazing job and i’ll definitely be back again. 100% recommend!!

Experiencia fantástica: They are amazing artists! Very professional, very kind and all of them are very skilled! Phil has done 2 of my tattoos now and I will be going back for any others I plan on getting. The one I got Saturday is BY FAR my favorite!!

Experiencia fantástica: I contacted this shop through their website, got a text promptly the next day. I spoke with Phil and gave him more info about what I wanted. He wound up having a cancellation and a spot was open today. He was very friendly and gave me suggestions and I agreed with what he brought up to me. Phil is truly a professional, he was very quick but his work is amazing. I’m very happy with his work and will definitely go back.

Experiencia fantástica: Phil is the best HANDS DOWN and he did such a good job. He made me feel comfortable and safe during the five hour session. He is super funny and all the staff is very helpful and friendly 100/10 place. Best tattoo place in town and Phil is the best French man in town.
