Tat Starz

Nikki and Jason were amazing… great shop. I was in town a month ago for my daughters 21^st Birthday. .me and my two daughters got tattoos… Nikki did all 3 and Jason worked on some of our art work these two were Amazing… we left the shop at about 3:00 am. and it was worth every minute of it… They made our trip pricless… Nikki will forever be in our hearts. please if you in town or live in the area this is the shop for you… …We had another shop (Electric Ladyland) try to jack us up with some Bull Shit…

Nikki did mine and my friends matching tattoo. She was very quick and friendly. However it’s been about two and a half weeks and my tat is completely missing some shading on a few parts. Unfortunately I don’t live anywhere near New Orleans to get it touched up, so I’ll end up paying someone in Cali to do it! My friend also needs hers touched up. It’s very noticeable!

Professional artist, quality work. Spur of the moment decision. Me and 3 friends looking to get a tat during my Birthday weekend in NOLA. Couldn’t be happier with our decision to use them!!! Coming from the Mother of a tattoo artist in Baton Rouge, this place is top notch! Victor did an amazing job on my sweet, little dragonfly!!!

Nikki knows her stuff as a piercer and tattoo artist. She and husband Jason are quite friendly. You won’t find a «we know it all or we know what’s best for you» in this shop. Location is not the greatest. Recommend you use a ride service or cab to come and go, especially at night. They didn’t care that I arrived 30 – 45 minutes (to get an industrial and a daith piercing — which actually ended up being a rook — before their 2 am closing. Nor did they turn away two other who came in later — one new female customer for a neck tattoo and another female regular piercing customer — with the «sorry we’re closed, come back tomorrow» store often heard in other shops.

Although they do have some great artist there, some of them are not. I paid in full for a tattoo (425 $). I sat there for hours and then was told to come back. However due to an unfortunate event (a lady checking her phone and then touching the area where my tattoo was being put. I broke out into an intense rash and ended up with scarlet fever and from what the nurses said a third degree burn.) I am now fully recovered from it a sum of months later. So, I called them to see if someone would finish it within the shop and they denied my request so basically just wasted 425 dollars on an unfinished piece. Furthermore, when I called the person on the phone was rude as hell. Worst customer service and poor quality when it comes to cleanliness.

Once I communicated to the owner and the artist my dissatisfaction in my tattoo they did everything possible to satisfy me. Although I have to live with this tat I appreciate them trying to appease me. I’m going to get another tat by the same artist will post the results. I’m sure they will be good.

Great shop with great artists. A friend recommend this place to a group of us and we were NOT disappointed! Three of us got full color fleur se lis and our artist chris was awesome. Great customer service, clean shop.

Jason and Nikki ROCK. Great shop chemistry! Nikki is a great artist with awesome customer service. Jason is creative and good with bringing art work ideas to the table. *Have an idea what you want, do your research on style and Jason can do it! Shop owner Black is always around to ensure order is at its best.
If you’re in NOLA as a visitor or even a native and looking to get ink’d. They have great artistry for a great price!
Tell’em you read TJ review on Unilocal and decided to come see them.
Thanks again Jason, Nikki and Black for your services.

Came here late on a Friday nite with a group of friends. Only a few of us were getting tattoos, but there was a nice lounge area where the others chilled. Nikki was very friendly. We were quite pleased with both her and Jason’s work. If you’re out with friends and decide to get tatted up, I’d recommend this place!

They were amazing! Excellent customer service, plus super talented! My friend and I were looking to cover up a matching tattoo we got a long time ago, and they did a great job. You can’t even see the old tat! Love love love my new tattoo! Very professional, tell all your friends! Jason and Nikki know their stuff. Thanks so much for taking good care of my best friend and me!

I should’ve walked out when I saw how rude and attitudeish the guy Jason was but only because of his sweet girlfriend did I stay. I came in to get a flower tattoo with a shade of red on the inner part of the petals that turned to orange then yellow as you got to the outer edge. He claimed to understand what I wanted but then colored the entire flower red and outlined it in yellow, which looks tacky. I also asked for a butterfly and when I saw that he didn’t finish coloring in the butterfly, I asked if he would. He claimed that I should listen to him, he’s the artist, he knows what he’s doing, what I requested was tacky, I shouldn’t be so picky and refused to color it all the way in. If I’m paying for permanent art then I should get what I want colored in how I want. Needless to say, my tattoo looks a couple years old and it’s brand new. I would never recommend this shop to anyone. FYI it’s against health code for them to use a jar of A&D ointment instead of single use packs. Germs and everyone’s blood from his gloves are going in and out the same jar he uses for everyone.

Got our engagement bands done here.
Clean. Reasonable. And accommodating.
Kudos to Brian and Chloe.

Great professional tat shop! My husband and I are very happy with our new ink. Bryan did an outstanding job and I highly recommend him. All the employees were super nice and I can see why this is the city’s #1 tattoo shop. Don’t forget their new location is 1418 N. Clairborne, in Suite 5, upstairs.

The talented Mecca (Malaika) at Tat Starz killed it. I was in New Orleans for eight days and our appointment kept getting shifted around because the shop was in the process of moving locations. She snuck me in on my last day in New Orleans, while the shop was in disarray. I told her my concept and she sketched it out right then and there and done me right. The art is fantastic: anatomical drawings of organs down my back. The whole thing was a once in a lifetime experience what with the ATM and Phone & Internet guys walking around, and the other tattoo artists moving furniture and unpacking boxes. Very happy with the results!

Nice clean shop. Chopper did a amazing job on my custom tattoo. It was my first tattoo and he was very thorough in explaining the procedure and showed great concern that I was doing okay throughout the procedure. I will definitely return to Tat Starz for the next tattoo.

Nikki and Jason are great. They are patient, creative and well informed. Nikki designed a tat for me and my hubby. We are very satisfied. The establishment is very clean. Nikki and Jason are very friendly and personable.

All the artists here are fantastic. Mecca is a friend of mine and she is as awesome of a tattoo artist as she is a person! On week days you can usually walk in no problem — just depends on the week. The location does seem sketchy but the shop is the cleanest I’ve seen in nola. They don’t even let you have a guest on the floor with you while they’re tattooing. Great shop and minimum is $ 60. They do piercings too.

They are willing to work with you and join in on your designs and ideas. Very clean business and comfortable to be there

Despite the rather seedy location this place was wonderful! Very clean, well run, plus a great environment. My daughter had her nose pierced and everything was kept extremely clean and sterile. The girl doing the piercing was quick and efficient and changed into fresh gloves several times during the procedure. We will definitely go back for tattoos in the future. Oh, and very fair price…$ 40.00.

Very happy with our Tats. Friendly and knowledgable staff. Great experience for us out of Towners.
