Salon De Tatouage

Such an amazing experience coming here! Everyone was welcoming and super friendly. Got my first ever tat on my shoulder with Hawk and it was perfect. I gave him the ideas and he just completely ran with it and made it even better than what I was envisioning in my head. Just got my forearm done by him and will most likely be coming back here for more! Hawk is an exceptional artist and was willing to bear with me for 15+ total hours.

After having to make the decision of putting my pup Lestat down I knew I had to get a piece to keep his spirit alive and always by my side. I had the absolute pleasure of getting this beautiful art forever on my arm by an incredible artist Aubrey, that I could sing her praises forever. She completely captured him fully in every detail. Aubrey is thoughtful and graceful with her machine with every stroke like she is painting fine art with a paint brush. She has a client for life in me.

My girlfriend wanted to get a pokemon themed tattoo for their birthday. We had an appointment set up at a different shop not too far away that gave us a refund on the deposit because they weren't willing to make any altercation to the design. The appointment was made weeks in advance with emails being sent back and forth about the appointment with us receiving no examples of the design. When we arrived, they showed us a very poorly drawn sketch that she claimed to have "taken a lot of time on". After my girlfriend very clearly stated their issues with the design, they went back and changed practically nothing of what was discussed and told us they can refund the deposit and seemed quite annoyed with us. We didnt want to waste the day and instead walked to Salon De Tatouage to see if we'd have better luck there. Everything previously stated was explained and the tattoo artists were immediately sympathetic of our situation and started sketching a design within 10 minutes. They walked us through the process of making it and were incredibly lenient with the design. After less than an hour my girlfriend was in the chair with a stencil and extremely happy and relieved. The tattoo itself took just over an hour and went by very quickly. The environment and the energy created was incredibly comfortable and welcoming. If we are ever visiting the city again, we will 100% be returning.

After a few text exchanges and an appointment an hour and a half later to cover up an old tattoo (the first photo), Hawk captured my vision and made it even better than I could’ve imagined (the second and third photos). He added to the design I had in mind, giving it more character and style. Hawk is the ultimate professional who puts time, care, and real artistry into his tattoo designs, and I highly recommend him.

On our last night in New Orleans, we happened to walk by the cutest little tattoo shop and decided to pop in—and I’m so glad we did. The staff was incredibly friendly, and the shop itself was clean and welcoming. They weren’t too busy, which worked out perfectly because they had an artist available right away, so we didn’t have to wait at all. Aubrey was my artist, and she was amazing—professional, kind, and really took the time to talk through exactly what I wanted. She also made sure I understood how to properly care for my new tattoo. Overall, it was such a great experience. I highly recommend this shop and would absolutely go back next time I’m in town!
