Black Torch Tattoo

Me and my mom had went to Black Torch a couple of years back to get some small tattoos. We both loved how they came out so we decided to go back so that we could get some more. The atmosphere is very welcoming and nice. Our artist was Dan. He did such fabulous work on me and my mom’s tattoos. He was also super helpful in helping us decide exactly what we wanted and where it would go. I would highly recommend Dan to anyone looking for tattoos! It was a wonderful experience!

Fantastic experience with Courtney, Ink Horn Piercings! Very informative and thorough even when it comes to after care and follow ups. She did great walking my niece through her second lobe, shes a minor and was so nervous! Courtney really knows her skill! I will be back and I will recommend Courtney to anyone!l

I got my first tattoo with Dan R., and I couldnt be happier. I told him what I was looking for, and he made a great design and was super easy to work with when I had a couple of small edits. The actual tattoo process was easy. The space was clean and relaxed, and he made me feel comfortable throughout. Most importantly, the tattoo came out better than I hoped for. I absolutely recommend him and Black Torch!

Im a returning customer to Black Torch Tattoo! Im onto my fourth tattoo by Dan Rodriguex and cant recommend him enough. He listens to your ideas and takes the time and researches exactly what you are looking for, to design the best piece for you. He is in the process of filling a half sleeve for me as I came to him with pr existing tattoos, he has formed the sleeve to blend very well with what was already there. Cant wait for it to be finished. Love his work!

This was my first time meeting Dan! He was super friendly, and very accommodating. He made sure I was happy with my results and made the process easy 🥰 Highly recommend !

My friend and I went in without an appointment, Daniel was off but in the shop and did our matching tattoos. They were small and quick but he didn’t have to do that. We love them! This is my 3rd tattoo from Black Torch and love them all! I highly recommend Black Torch! Thanks Daniel!

Love this shop!! I have been coming here for years and even after moving across the country I still wait to get my tattoos from here. Daniel, the owner, does a fantastic job every time! He has done an incredible job camouflaging old scars and giving me new confidence in my body. This is definitely the place to get your work done!

When I was waiting for my appointment with Courtney, I heard several people talking about her in the waiting room: Shes the best piercer in Baton Rouge. Theres literally no one better than her AND shes an amazing human. Youre in good hands, Courtney is so good at what she does.All these people were absolutely correct. I was blown away by the care and consideration she showed to me. She could see I was nervous and so she sat down with me and explained the entire procedure, all of the aftercare, she even explained about the needles she used and how it would feel. She is incredibly passionate about her work and it shows through her pride, skill, and attention to detail and safety. I would only go to her again.

While visiting Baton Rouge last week, I thought it’d be fun to pop into a local shop and get a small tattoo. Black Torch was clean and we were greeted right away.Like other reviews mention, Alex was taking walk-ins. Looking back, part of me wishes they didn’t have time that day. I have a lot of other black and grey work and am disappointed with how this tattoo turned out. The tattoo feels overworked. Nearly a week later, I still have redness and irritation. Some of the lines are blown out. Can we talk about what’s going on with the white ink at the center of the flowers? I have white ink in other tattoos, so it’s not a case of my skin not holding the ink.I take some responsibility and realize I should’ve spoken up to see if at least the center of the flowers could be cleaned up. Lesson learned: it’s my one and only spontaneous walk-in tattoo. I’ll have to get this one cleaned up locally after it heals.I wish I would’ve had a better experience!

If you walk in, you get Alex. Kind of wish they couldnt fit me in that day. Now I have to pay Captain at Walk In Warrior to redo this butchering. Thanks for the wonderful experience and supreme scarification.

Dan did such a great job with my tattoo! I am satisfied with everything he had planned out. His personality is so kind and patient. I recommend everyone to check Dan and his work out!

@danxtattoos is awesome! his work is clear, well-planned, quick, and always looks well done. my last tattoo experience with him was a great one. hes super professional, clean, and listens to his clients, and works well with them to create the pieces they want, even if their visions are scattered, he makes it work. dans chill and easygoing personality makes getting tattooed suck a lot less. 5/5

I recommend Black Torch to everyone who compliments my tattoos. The artists are extremely talented, easy to talk to, and do amazing work. I’ve been tattooed by Alex five times and Reese three and I’ve had a great experience every time. I travel across town for Black Torch and I’ll continue to do so.

Dan R. did a fantastic job on my tattoo!! He was super easy to work with and took my ideas I had for this tattoo and made it better than I could’ve anticipated! His ig is danxtattoos

I went in to get earrings from Courtney and she took such good care of me. Everything is pristine, the vibe is chill and comfortable. The selection of jewelry is beautiful and the quality of them is undeniable. All effort was made for my comfort, for safety, and cleanliness that made me feel safe, and welcomed. I look so beautiful with her work and it made me overjoyed.

Dan is awesome!! I made an appointment with Dan because I wanted someone who did fine line tattoos, but with a bold outline and after doing a ton of research Dan was my guy! This was my first large tattoo and he was super accommodating and continued to check on my to ensure I was feeling okay and comfortable. He absolutely killed it and I cannot wait to continue to add onto this floral sleeve!

Dan is hands down one of the most talented and passionate tattoo artists I’ve ever met. His skillset is above par and he exceeded my expectations in every way. He took my vague tattoo design request and turned it into something incredible. From start to finish, he was incredibly gentle and made sure I was taken care of. I loved the vibe of the entire studio and staff, and I’ll always recommend Dan to anyone looking for tattoos in the Baton Rouge area! I’ll be back soon for sure.

Courtney at Black Torch Tattoo (Inkhorn) is seriously the absolute best. My body does not like piercings but I was determined to get a helix. She not only made the process extremely easy and minimally painful, she has also walked me through multiple areas of trouble shooting and advice. Im seriously so grateful for her!!

Courtney did an amazing job on my piercing! I shared my experience of getting a bad nose piercing job a few years ago, and she not only gave me a piercing that had stunning results, but educated me on proper piercing technique throughout the process. She was also a joy to work with, such a great heart. I highly recommend her services :)

Update: I went back to Black Torch Tattoo for another tattoo (Carolina Jessamine) and had another great experience! This time I had a tattoo completed by Dan. He was friendly, professional, listened to what I wanted, and got it done! It came out so well! This was definitely another great experience here! I cant wait to come back again!Original Review: I was a walk in who wanted a pretty big tattoo (Chrysanthemum, nose print, and daffodils). Reese listened to my ideas, came up with an even more awesome piece than I had imagined, and was willing to get it all done in one session. All the staff were so nice, too! I highly recommend them if you want to get an excellent tattoo in a friendly atmosphere!

Alex did amazing work for me. He was thoughtful and patient. The room was comfortable and inviting. I love my new piece.

Alex Campbell did so amazing. He was great to work with and my tattoo turned perfect, exactly what I was wanting. Highly recommend him!

I needed to get a cover up for a tattoo and I couldnt have asked for a better tattoo artist than Dan! I walked in with a tattoo idea that I thought would hide the letters on my arm, but I wasnt in love with it. Thankfully Dan seemed to know what would work best to hide the old tattoo, while coming up with something unique and beautiful. I shared some other tattoo ideas that I loved and he came up with something better than I originally walked in suggesting. Not only is he an amazing tattoo artist, hes fast and they use this numbing spray that made the shading process pain free. I nearly fell asleep! Everyone at Black Torch is very friendly. Its an awesome group of people. I will definitely be a repeat customer here. Dan is my go-to from now on! Thanks again.

Dan is the best! He’s done a few tattoo’s for me now and every time it’s a great experience. He’s also a super talented artist. Will be back for more

I had the best experience with Dan for my first larger tattoo. He was so patient, kind, and thorough! And not to mention, a fantastic artist. Thank you Dan, I can’t wait to come back for my next one.

Got this sick Scorpion done a while back, one of the best healed tattoos I have. Done by Alex Campbell at black torch, great service and easy session. Hit him up for an appointment.

Courtney has been a godsend since I got my nose pierced for a second ring. It healed slower than what I’m used to but when I brought up my concerns they saw me the same day to check it out. They have honestly just made this a great experience all around and I WILL be back

Stopped in to get some tats completed for my boys. I was told to come back in 4 to 5 hours just to find the door locked. Knocked and called for awhile to find I was being ignored by the staff inside. Sad that shop didnt want to make money that day. Bring your money somewhere else, bring your money to someone who actually has a passion for what they do. If I could give negative stars, I would.

Alex has done 3 out of 4 of my tattoos, and his work is flawless from the perfect lines to the extraordinary shading and I trust him with any of the work I get done. He knocked this one out the park for real, and hell work with you on any suggestions you may have. Also, once the tattoo is finished he will make sure its perfectly how you want it and also may throw in an idea or two about adding a little color or extra shading to a certain area. Real freakin cool and welcoming guy. The place overall is clean and gives you a warm and welcoming feeling. Everyone in there was really nice.. I would suggest this place to anyone and will definitely be getting most, if not all of my work done here in the future!

I got two tattoos done by Dan that are great! It was a good environment with friendly staff, definitely recommend getting tattoos & piercings here!

Dan X/tatoos (instagram)Do yourself a favor. Book with this guy. Easy to deal with. Clean friendly shop. Oh ya. One hell of a tattoo artist.

Dan was so cool. He really listened to my thoughts and gave me opinions on which way the tattoo would look best. He checked on me throughout the tattoo. I have already gotten so many compliments on it! Will definitely go back to him!!

I always went to leviathan for all of my previous tattoos, and they are AMAZING. but when i tell you that when i got my moth tattoo from here, it was just over the top. daniel mesen literally drew up exactly what i wanted (and that’s special because i tend to be vague when explaining what i want) and just effortlessly tattooed the most beautiful moth i’ve seen in my whole life. the talent it takes is often overlooked but daniels talent truly shows. his rescheduling and non refundable deposits are simply business—and honestly— understandable. he worked around my anxiety and made me completely comfortable. this was my first tattoo with a male artist and my first tattoo at a different place than my usual and it is the best tattoo on my body. the price was higher than i expected but after seeing the work he put on my body and the time it took to do it, the price honestly could have even been higher. 10/10 recommend.

Alex did my first tattoo, he made me feel welcome and helped me decide what would look best!! He also was very friendly and we talked about my future plans and had good conversations during the process. He also explained what to do and not to do very well! Tattoo was worth the money and experience!! I highly recommend going to get your tattoo here!!!

Courtney was awesome!! I went in to get my nostril pierced, my first piercing that isn’t my earlobe and I was understandably a little nervous. She made me feel at ease during the process and did a great job. I can see myself coming back again after this heals!

I just recently got two tattoos from Dan. I am extremely happy with both. He is very a professional, nice guy who does great work! Black Torch in general is great place to go, but when you stop in, ask for Dan.

I got two tattoos there. All I can say is Amazing job! I will definitely go back and I recommend others go as well. Great atmosphere and great work.

I would highly recommend Black Torch Tattoo! Friendly staff who are extremely knowledgeable and work with you to create a piece that will be timeless and one that youll love. Dan (@danxtattoos on IG) created such a beautiful piece that we added right between some of my other tattoos to create a solid flow on my arm. He worked with me and listened to my wants and designed such an awesome piece that we added to my patchwork sleeve. He also kept ensuring I was doing okay and if I needed a break since it was my first large tattoo. If youre looking for a spectacular fine-line tattoo artist in the Baton Rouge area, definitely go to Dan!

Courtney is amazing!! She took her time explaining everything made me feel very confident and comfortable! I’m absolutely in with my nose piercing! Definitely recommend her ❤️

I had a fantastic day at this shop! Courtney was professional and amazing at explaining the process for my hex piercing this afternoon! Dan did my first tattoo and his lines were beautiful! I felt safe and at ease for the entire process! This shop is clean, professional and has a super stylish wait area. I will be returning for sure!!!

I got my tattoo with Dan, he was super friendly, super talented, I loved the experience and how the tattoo turned out. Definitely recommend!:)

This place is amazing. Everyone is so welcoming on top of the amazing artists!! (Specifically Dan) I came here with my daughter on a day they were able to accommodate it (not sure if they always can but they did this time) and Miranda sat with her and helped to entertain her while I got my tattoo. Dan also was very kind and patient with her and let me know how to make sure she was completely safe and keep any needles and possible health hazards away. They are super clean, ethical, kind, and just overall great :)

If you are looking for an experienced, accommodating, passionate *artist*... Then please, let me tell you about Dan. Instantly, I felt incredibly comfortable working with Dan, who exhibits professionalism like none other. He is an artist who strives for perfection with every single step, start to finish. Dan is an intuitive listener, pays close attention to detail, and truly wants to make your envision come to life. Aside from his highly skilled techniques, Dan considers all factors such as tattoo placement to compliment the unique flow of your body, and he ensures his artwork is exactly what you would like before applying any ink. Additionally, he exudes patience and kindness, which is paramount when choosing a piece that will last forever. He ensured I was comfortable throughout the entire session, and he was sure to give me plenty of breaks in between so I could stretch and relax. Without a doubt, Dan is your guy. The studio is very sanitary, everyone is so attentive, and the experience I had will keep me heading back to him for more. Thank you, Dan, for this incredible tiger! Highly, highly recommend him to anyone looking for a passionate artist who will absolutely make your envision come to life.

I’m so glad I looked this place up. I was a walk-in and I was seen very promptly. I was serviced by their piercer, Courtney R, and she was absolutely amazing! She was welcoming, friendly and professional. I only do reviews when necessary and this was necessary! Courtney did a 10/10 job with my piercings! I was also able to purchase top quality body jewelry here as well (nose & nips)! Thank yu again!

Ive gotten two tattoos from Dan in the last few months at Black Torch, and not only was his work top-notch, but the overall experience was consistently pleasant and easy.

Im in my late 50s, work in the corporate world and have 2 other tattoos, but I wanted my first publicly visible one. This tattoo would be a medal to me for surviving my cancer journey in 2022. My thoughts and ideas were all over the place, but Daniel was extremely patient and worked with me through countless emails, images and even an appointment where I left with nothing. He understood that while my tattoo wasnt huge or very involved, it was huge to me and he made sure I was confident in my choices and would be pleased with it. The end result is more than I couldve hoped for - multiple times a day I look at my phoenix and feel like the badass warrior that I am!! I may have more tattoos in my future and if I do, Daniel and Black Torch will be my go-to. Thank you!!

I got a coverup from Dan and he was incredible. So kind, respectful and talented.I will be coming backThe whole studio is clean and inviting. everyone there is so nice and tries to make sure youre comfortable.

I highly discourage anyone from coming here. I went here for 3 or so years and haven’t been back other than for a piercing. I went to their new piercer and again had a bad experience. The piercing itself got infected within a week of having it which has never happened to me. I’m guessing the jewelry wasn’t what i was told it was. I did not like the environment and i ended up being stuck paying atleast $80 MORE than what we previously agreed on which really sucked. Also, I’ve gotten atleast 7 tattoos and had been to every artist in the shop at the time. Every single tattoo has faded tremendously and i’ve had to get cover ups else where.

Absolutely cannot recommend enough going to Courtney for piercings! She was extremely patient with me whenever I got nervous and made sure I left with plenty of knowledge about aftercare. I did a custom order with her for my downsized posts and she made the process seamless and so much fun! If I could put more than 5 stars I would.

Dan was my tattoo artist and he is incredible. He had great attention to detail and made sure I was comfortable. He knew this was my first tattoo and made sure I was satisfied with what I was getting. When I walked in the door he was ready with some sample images of a tattoo which showed me he took this very seriously and cares about what he does. It was a fantastic environment and Dan made it that much better.

A little professionalism goes a long way, they were extremely rude towards us and several other customers. They could literally change their wording and facial expressions to gain a lot more business. We tried to justify their behavior and attitude but after seeing them do it to everyone that walked in, we decided it was not worth our time. Nice place though it’s clean, looks cool, prices were accurate for a “professional” atmosphere, vibe seemed nice until they started interacting with their guests. Coaching your customers, explaining to your customers, persuading them to make a good choice to benefit them will change an entire experience. I’ve never stepped into a place like this and been talked to or treated the way myself and several others were during my short visit here.

I’ve had multiple tattoos by Daniel and all of them have been absolutely pleasant experiences. He’s very responsive, easy to schedule/work with, and fast at what he does. Every design he’s come up with for me has been perfect. Black Torch Tattoo is the only shop I ever recommend people to in Baton Rouge. Everyone here is truly talented and cares about their craft. I will continue to be a return client :)

I was in town visiting family, I got tattooed by Daniel, he drew up my design on the spot and it was seriously better than I ever could have imagined! I really like this shop, can’t wait to get back. The receptionist was seriously so cool - and friendly. There’s lots of flash to browse while you wait and a comfy couch to boot. Highly recommend.

Alex did amazing on my running tattoo!❤️ would definitely recommend!

The environment of the whole tattoo shop was super welcoming, friendly, and supportive. Dan was amazing to work with and he did perfect on the design I chose. I really enjoy all of his work that I’ve seen, and I’ll gladly go back for more!

I got this tattoo done here 3-4 years ago and every year it looks worse and worse. I paid $120 for this small tattoo just for it to be blown out and missing pigment AND YES I followed all the aftercare instructions correctly!!! Also its not at all what I wanted but at the time I was 18 and to afraid to say I didn’t like the stencil which is my own fault for not speaking up but they saw my inspo pic and still drew this out thinking “yeah this is good enough”. I’m the idiot for still getting it done knowing i wasn’t satisfied with the stencil and for 120 BUCKS!?!? You live and you learn I guess.

Gotta give a shout out to Courtney over at Black Torch Tattoo for doing all of my piercing work. Shes been really helpful, nice, and caring about my healing process. She takes cleanliness very seriously and has your interest at heart while setting you on a good path with safe practices. Absolutely must recommend her if you need piercing work.

When my seven year old daughter decided she wanted to get her ears pieced, we knew we wanted a professional piercer to do it.We found that and more with Courtney Robertson! What I really liked about her was her emphasis on consent. That was important for our family as well because we wanted our daughter to make that decision about her body when she was ready.Courtney is amazing with children! She was so genuine, kind, caring and patient with our daughter.She explained everything she was doing and allowed ample time for breaks or questions, and we never once felt rushed even though we were the last appointment of the day.Courtney has a very clean and professional work space. Her care and knowledge of hygiene was obvious and put our minds at ease. She is also very knowledgable and professional in any situation that can arise with piercings. When I messaged her a general question afterwards, she wrote me right back and has made me feel at ease.I will 100% recommend Courtney to any friends or family members who are looking for piercing themselves or for thier children.Our daughters ears look beautiful and she absolutely loves them and had a great experience. Our experience was everything we wanted and more! Thank you!

Courtney was awesome! She’s so informative about piercings and makes you feel at ease. He space is clean and she keeps everything sterile. Highly suggest!

Clean shop & calm environment. I got my first tattoo done here by Dan & it was a pleasant and comfortable experience. Tattoo was on the pricier side but I’m very satisfied with the art I left with. Dan does high quality lettering like no other!

I have received over 10 tattoos from Daniel and every experience has been excellent. Black Torch is a tattoo shop that is professional, clean, safe, and delivers nothing short of high quality & original work. Daniel is very busy and despite that he is SUPER accommodating, respectful, and easy to work with. I have been recommending this shop to locals for years and will continue to do so.

I had a great experience here as a tattoo virgin. Worked with Daniel who was professional, to the point, and implemented my idea beautifully. I knew I could trust his work based on his portfolio! And I’m so glad I went for it because it turned out perfect. Everyone that’s seen it has commented how clean it is. The atmosphere was great. Daniel killed it. I’ll definitely be back for more.

I was a walk in and went to Courtney, she was great and patient but months went by and when I decided to change my piercing it was not all the way pierced through and it still isn’t looking for a better place to go🤷‍♀️

Got my tattoos done by Alex, great guy and amazing artist. Played music and talked to me as I got my first tattoos. Very cute place inside too. Highly recommend. 10/10 experience.

If you’re looking for any extremely detailed tattoos, Dan Rodriguez is your man. I recently had gotten a beautiful bumble bee from him. The line work is gorgeous, and Dan made sure I was comfortable the whole time. I’ll probably be back for more from him.

Saw Courtney today for second lobe piercings and a helix. She was so great and worked out the placing with me. I really appreciated her patience, attention to detail, and safety practices. Great experience overall.

Ive gotten tattooed by Boo and the owner, Daniel. They both did incredible jobs and were very pleasant and attentive. Daniel drew up exactly what I wanted and gave me a beautiful tattoo thats definitely going to stay looking great for a long time. Daniel also reached out to me during the healing process to ensure everything was healing properly and answer questions I had.The best shop in BR, no questions asked!

The best place to go in Baton Rouge. Daniel is an amazing artist. The shop is always clean and organized. It was always a breeze to book an appointment and I was given options when I had to reschedule. He takes his time with clients and is extremely talented. You won’t be disappointed coming here!

Had an issue with a previous tattoo and Daniel did an absolutely amazing job fixing it for me. Shop is very sanitary and friendly, already booked another appointment.Best tattoo shop in Baton Rouge hands down.5/5 stars only because they wouldn’t let me put more.

Upon the eve of my daughters 7th birthday she decided that she wanted to get her ears pierced and based on the numerous amount of recommendations we received in our inquiries, especially for non-gun piercings we knew that we wanted it to happen at Black Torch Tattoo BlackTorch TattooParlor! Now the blessing in this was finding Courtney Robertson! Super incredibly sweet, patient, kind, caring, knowledgeable, empathetic, & great with kids. Thank you so much BTT and Courtney for providing us with such an incredible experience for us and especially our daughter! I highly recommend anyone looking for 1st time piercings and tattoos to please go visit Black Torch Tattoo, preferably with Courtney Robertson! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I have spent years trying to find a tattooist that suits my style and also doesn’t have that uninviting weird setting most shops have, and I’ve found that at Black Torch. I have been a faithful customer of the owner Daniel for 5 years now and I am so honored to wear his work! Best quality traditional I’ve come across and I look forward to my yearly appointment all year long.

Best tattoo parlor in Baton Rouge. Everyone is super nice and chill, but they take their work seriously and are true artists. Daniel the owner did my tattoo and I love it so much. He is probably the best traditional tattoo artist in the region. He helped me develop my idea and gave me a great price. I am going to be coming back to him for the rest of my arm. Dont go anywhere else and pay more for inferior work.

I waited 1.75 hours, after having two artist look at my design (the first when I arrived, the second just before I left), to tell me that I need to make an appointment. I even called before showing up to verify they would take a walk in. Never again.

Chris is an amazing artist and I would highly recommend going to get your next tattoo at Black Torch Tattoo on Perkins! I came to the shop with a rough idea of what I wanted and Chris went ahead and sketched this up for me. I have got to say that I’m impressed with how it turned out and will be visiting sometime in the near future! Keep up the good work Chris!!

This is now my go to spot for tattoos in Baton Rouge. Great artists and cool little spot. My artist was Alex, couldn’t recommend enough

I came in as a walk-in for a small tattoo and didn’t have much of a wait at all. Albeit a pretty simple handwriting tattoo, it turned out perfectly! On a communicative level, the artists respond to emails about tattoos, concepts, inquiries, etc. fairly quickly and with great professionalism. Best tattoo shop in Baton Rouge! I will definitely be going back for a bigger, more intricate piece in the future, as well as many after that.

@dan.Very pleasant experience. Mother daughter tats and two individual ones in one sitting. Tattoos turned out beautiful. Dan was amazing.You will not regret scheduling with him.

I had a good experience getting a cartilage piercing and a third lobe piercing from Jake. Recently, I went to get a third cartilage and had a different piercer. The earring he gave me was a very small, hard to even see stud that was different from the regular sized studs I had received when I went here before. A couple of weeks later, I noticed the earring was so small it was actually starting to go through the piercing and getting embedded in my ear. I was able to get it out but experienced a lot of bleeding & discomfort. I would still recommend this place for the prices and from my prior two experiences, but wish i wouldve asked to see options for the earring size beforehand as I really think that played a part in it. I have nine piercings total and this was the first time Ive ever had an issue with one.

Very professional piercer. The place is clean and sanitized, process was quick, easy, and relatively painless. Personally, I will not get any future work done here. The person who did my piercing was very cold (like medical, which is fine!). I prefer an experience as well, someone who is easy to talk with about my procedure. Go here if you dont want conversation, just an in and out. **Very professional, very sterile** **Poor customer service**

I got a lobe piercing and tragus piercing done by Daniel a few months ago. It was pretty quick process - in and out less than 30 min. The place was clean, accepted walk-in and took credit card. I also got a note on how to take care of new piercings which was helpful. It costed me $40/piercing + ear studs cost. Overall I was happy with the results.

Came in for my first body piercing and the piercer Jake was great- super friendly and professional, great with piercing placement, answered all of my questions, and incredibly patient and supportive when I got nervous. All around the experience was super positive and I fully intend to go back for all of my piercings. Highly recommend

Love, love, love Black Torch. My husband and I haven gotten tats there before and went back today to get new ones. Our usual artist wasnt there today so we got our tats done by Alex and he was incredible. Great artist and super nice. If youre looking for a tattoo shop make sure you visit Black Torch!!!

Jake is a great piercer and he definitely knows what hes doing but Ive been there multiple times and every time I have an awful encounter with him. He is very rude and awkward while I always try to be polite and friendly, definitely not worth it! There are other places to get pierced where you can have a way better time and still get the same service.

Great place to get a piercing, from my past experiences getting my navel and nose pierced there (on two separate occasions), getting my daith pierced this time around was great as well! I called when they had just opened one day to ask if their piercer was there and if I could walk in for a daith piercing...they said yes and after I walked in it took about 5-10 minutes to wait for him to set up the room, and the whole piercing part took about 5 minutes. Very fast, clean, and professional. From their Instagram post I believe they sterilize their jewelry with a statim. They take card or cash, which is convenient. Highly recommend!

High quality work comes out of Black Torch, in both the tattoos and piercings. Some of the best artists in Baton Rouge are here, and Jake is easily the best piercer in Louisiana. He prioritizes safety, cleanliness, and proper placement. Josh did a beautiful tattoo on me that is still vivid after almost 2 years. Highly recommend.

I got my nipples both pierced. The shop was very clean the artist were nice but I had to take out 1 of my piercings... I was only charged for 1 nipple but with such high reviews you would think that that I wouldnt have had such a bad experience. Upon removing the piercing you can clearly see the ring was misplaced. It hurt like hell , way more then the other and thats the reason for me removing it

I got my first piercing here and I was crazy nervous, Jake was very kind and helped me relax through the process. My eyes started watering and I was afraid he thought I was crying from the pain but it really didn’t hurt badly at all. Extremely professional and clean place, I highly recommend it. I will be going back for more piercings.

I received a piercing from this shop last year and was left completely in the dark. I was charged $70 for a nose piercing. I have never had my nose pierced before so I had no idea what to do. I did not even receive a card until I asked the piercer what was I to do to care for the piercing. Never before having a nose piercing, I asked about other jewelry and was immediately brushed off and told “no” that there was no selection to choose from. I was not told that I couldn’t switch my own ring to a hoop, so I did and naturally it got stuck. I made several attempts to go back in hopes that the piercer would help me. It was there, when I was able to catch him, that I was told professionals are to put rings in. He told me that this was all he could do for me, that I’d probably get a keloid, and to keep checking back. I got the run around for months under the guises of Covid to where I gave up. Months have gone by and my piercing is now giving me lots of trouble. My ongoing issue is still unresolved.

I went here to get a helix piercing and Jake did a fantastic job. I called ahead and he gave me all of the information that I needed to know and while I was getting the piercing done, he made me feel extremely comfortable. Hes knows his stuff and has a passion for piercing and it shows. Piercers like Jake are hard to come by.

Courtney Robertson did my Paired Nostril Piercing and I absolutely love it! It came out even and was EXTREMELY sterile and in a clean environment. Couldn’t ask for better!

Excellent shop! I got my septum pierced, and it was quick and painless. (In and out in less than 15 minutes with zero pain) Jake really knows what hes doing, and he was polite and professional. Highly recommended!

Ive gotten 6 tattoos from Chris H. Every single one has bold, clean lines and are still saturated with color. People ask me if they are New all the time. All my appts have been on time and the place is super clean!

Great experience and amazing work! Gave me tips on how to care for it and really decent price for the tattoo ❤️❤️

I had my septum piercing done by another shop in Baton Rouge, and after being told by the artist who had done it that it was healed and the jewelry could be changed the ring would not go back through the piercing. I tried to get in contact with the artist who had done it to get help, and could not get through to him. I called Black Torch because I live close by, and Jake was amazingly helpful! It was already late, and I didnt have an appointment, but when I told him what was going on, he told me to come in immediately. He looked at the piercing and was very informative and helpful in identifying the problem. I would suggest everyone see Jake for their piercing needs, seeing as he is amazing!

My husband and I went to Black Torch to get matching tattoos as walk-ins. We told them what we wanted and they drew the tattoos up immediately. Once they finished drawing the tattoos, they set everything up and got to work. We were in and out in no time. Also reasonably priced. We are extremely happy with our new tattoos!

I got my ear lobes re-pierced here after a very bad and longterm painful piercing at Claires as a preteen. I had let my Claires piercing grow back and heal for a few years before coming to Black Torch. The guy that re-pierced my ears was super cool, professional, and efficient, and best of all, my piercing feels great, no swelling, no pain, it hardly even hurt when the needle went in. I highly recommend Black Torch, my ears have never felt this good.

I got my first tattoo here before I left for basic training back in February Daniel was my tattoo artist and he talked me through the whole thing and helped me relax I love this place and I will definitely be returning in December to get a few more done before I deploy!

Great job! Staff wasnt super friendly when I walked in. But he took the time to walk through my ideas and come up with a awesome design. They have a ton of examples on the walls - clearly very good. Process was clean, with everything sterilized. I was a walk-in, didnt have to wait, and had it done in under an hour.

They were really nice, accommodating, and my tattoo was pretty decent. The tattoo was overpriced though so I would suggest going somewhere else unless you wanted to work with a specific tattoo artist there.

Dan is my GO TO MAN! I always have a great time during my sessions with him and he does OUTSTANDING work.

Daniel did an amazing job with my tattoo! I was very impressed with his artistic process, as well as the studio’s efforts to prevent spread of Covid-19. I would highly recommend Daniel and Black Torch in the future.

Great customer service! They spoke to us as soon as we walked in and gave us a time and kept us updated the whole wait. Place is super clean. Boo did an amazing job on drawing up my tattoo and it looks great!

I called and asked if they do ear piercings the person that picked up the lied and said they don’t do piercings but when I clicked on the page it showed ear piercings I don’t wanna spend my money at this places. Lied to a customer for no reason

The employee were in a hurry to leave. We showed up around 9 and the hours listed they closed at 10. My friend was getting a piercing. She was quoted one price over the phone and told a higher price once we were there. She was also told cash only if she wanted it done that night. The female piercer was extremely rude and impatient. She also turned away many other customers trying to have service that night as well. The whole experience was extremely unprofessional. None of us will be back.

DO NOT GET A PIERCING HERE! Got my daith pierced by Daniel back in May 2020. 8 months later the piercing was constantly irritated and randomly bleeding. Went to another piercer that told me it was placed wrong as well as had a 20g ring in it and that I should just take it out. Spent $80 to get duped!

Alex came highly recommended and he did not disappoint. Although I had very simple design he nailed it. Very impressed by the shop and atmosphere. I will come back in the near future for some more work. One more...Alex was very professional and a pleasure to chat with while he worked on me.♠️

Reached out to more than one artist there for work. They both acted like I wasn’t good enough for them or their time. Good job on losing a client. Baton Rouge tattoo artists have really huge egos for people with mediocre work. Keep your noses in the air.

Dan was awesome! He is a great tattoo artist. Made you feel very comfortable. Also can hold a great conversation.

Courtney is amazing! She took her time to explain everything and was very kind. The shop is a very warm and welcoming environment with awesome decor!

Dan did a phenomenal job! Was responsive and able to do exactly what I envisioned. Very pleased with my piece and will be back.

Out of towner dropped by for a walk in for my first tattoo, nothing but good things! Got exactly what I wanted for a good price and it was very quick. They were all super nice and kept my nerves at bay, also very sterile. Wouldnt have wanted my first one anywhere else.

This was an awful experience. Very very rude customer service. Left before getting the piercing. I told him where I wanted pierced and he said Why dont you do it then? You work at a tattoo/piercing shop. People are going to tell you what they want. If its not possible to get it where someone wants it, all you need to do is POLITELY say something like I cant do it there because... And then explain. Never going back and will never recommend.

I got a tattoo from there about a year ago. It is beautiful, but not what I wanted. I already had the outline and all they did was put some green in it and I was charged THREE hundred dollars. If you’re looking for a traditional style tattoo, this is a fantastic place but if you’re looking for something whimsical, go elsewhere

Was luckily able to set-up a next day appointment with Daniel due to a cancelation and he did beyond a phenomenal job. He looked at my reference photo for just a few seconds and was able to draw up something out of this world in under 20 mins. He immediately got to work and crushed it. If youre looking for American traditional work in Louisiana Id argue theres no better place to go then Black Torch. Easy 5 stars. Will be back.

I just went to get my tragus pierced. My piercer was friendly, patient, and helpful. He washed his hands and changed gloves frequently. The needle was sterile and came in new packaging. All in all, a great visit!

😊Super nice people. I’m so glad I came here. Tattooist (josh)and piercer (Jake) were awesome ,they explained everything to me ,I was supper nervous,as it was my first time getting a tattoo . Pain was not bad at all I’ve been though worse. Thanks guys keep up the good work I will definitely be going back 😊

My mom wanted to get her first tattoo and didnt want to get one alone, so I decided to get one of mine covered up that I had wanted to for a while. They did a great job and made her feel comfortable. I would recommend this place for anyone looking for a tattoo.

I got my first tattoo done by Chris he did an amazing job. Then I went and got an arrow tattoo by a guy named Boo cause Chris was not in. My tattoo done by boo looked terrible the line was not straight at all and the arrow head was jacked up. I went back and he tried to fix it but it didn’t help at all I felt like I over paid for a messed up tattoo 😕

I got my belly button pierced here, and I’ve had it for almost 2 months now and it’s healing really good. I definitely recommend Black Torch because the piercer explained everything to keep my piercing healthy and clean.

The place is very clean and looks very nice. The problem I had was with the staff. I explained to them what I wanted and they did not seem impressed with what I wanted at all which I’m guessing is why I got such a rude response. They said what I wanted could not be done and that the picture I was showing them was photoshopped. Instead of helping me and at least telling me what they WERE able to do they just nodded me off and I left. If I wanted to the tattoo in a risky spot on my body I would completely understand, but I wanted the tattoo on my leg which should not be a problem. I went to another tattoo artist and they gladly gave me what I wanted based off of the picture I showed them and accommodated to me.

Very hospitable people,not a bad wait... prices are really high, compared to my other experiences at tattoo shops recently !

Very nice people and good environment...but..This is the second time i get my septum pierced there and the second time it’s crooked. My fault because I went back after the first time. This second time hurts really bad on the side its crooked on, nothing like the first and its been at least 2 weeks since i got it.

Chris did awesome on our little ankle tattoos. We walked in with three people and they did awesome work, saw us very fast, and the prices were very reasonable. I will definately be back.

Absolutely loved this place! Alex looked at the idea I brought in and came up with a drawing that I loved. He did a fantastic job on the actual tattoo and was super friendly. Highly recommend!

Both Boo and Alex did great pieces for my wife and I . Both artists were professionals and very personable. The artwork came out great. Highly recommend Black Torch.

Great group of artist at this shop! Professional, and always helpful when deciding exactly what you want. Daniel is my go to artist, but the rest of the crew does excellent work as well.

My friend got his ears pierced and the guy who did it was super friendly and helpful! I do wish they had a jewelry selection for piercings but other than that they do a great job!

Im going to give this place only 2 stars and thats because Im not sure what their tattooing quality is like. Why? Online it says they close at 10:00pm, however, we showed up at around 8pm and they were closed but you could clearly see people inside. The doors were locked and no one even came to tell us they were closed even though they were literally standing right there looking at us. Super shady place for my liking!!

My favorite shop and I send all my friends here . the guys are great and super creative. 10/10 would highly recommend. Ive gotten nothing but compliments on my tattoos and cant thank yall enough!!

Wow, piercer was very rude I would suggest you get pierced somewhere else. The business would be better without him. He has a horrible pesonallity and pretty much asked us to leave. I have never had such bad service and will be sure to let my friends know not to go there.

I brought my daughter to get her ears pierced and Jake was awesome with her! Everything he used was sterile and the shop was very clean! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone!

My tattoos came out absolutely beautiful however they were extremely small and expensive for what i got. i could have gone somewhere else and left with the same thing for ALOT cheaper.

Just got a Daith piercing from Courtney. She was really great & took the time to answer all of my questions in detail. 😁😁😁😁

I love this place! Everyone has been so helpful. I have gotten almost all of my tattoos there. They are very knowledgeable and have great prices. This is a great place to go and my go to place for tattoos and piercings.

Highly recommend this Tattoo and piercing shop!I have gotten 2 tattoos and 2 piercings here, and will continue to come here for all my future art pieces. Both pieces were done by Daniel Mesen.He drew exactly what I envisioned in my head!

Jake did a wonderful job helping me relax for my septum piercing. I was super nervous but he was patient and communicated well throughout each step.

I got just a quote but it was a good price and Boo got me in and out in about 30 minutes, from the time I got there to the end of the tattoo. Cool people, Ill definitely be back for some actual artwork. Highly recommended.

I went in the shop to get my septum pierced and Jake hooked me up, very friendly all around awesome guy, clean, did my septum with minimum pain the door my lip with the exact materials I wanted for my face. Love my new look thanks Jake, you da man Ill see you soon if I need any more work done

Extremely rude and refused me as a customer because I wanted a tattoo on my hand if you are dead set on anything I would not recommend going here they will either tell you they cant do it or try to do it their way. Nobody explained anything simply told me they wasnt going to doit and sent me out the door without a reason why i went right down the road to High Resolution and got a quality tattoo got what i wanted where i wanted no questions asked exellent customer service your in the tattoo business if sombody wants somthing your supposed to give it to them i was getting this tattoo for my wife who has been battling cancer for almost 3 yrs we were going to get matching tattoos and she couldnt get hers until she was done with treatment because her immune system was to weak so i wanted to go ahead and get mine to surprise her and got turned away rudely with no explanation good thing high resolution was right down the road they was able to doit no questions asked and made my wifes day why open a tattoo shop if your going to pick and choose its not your choice what a customer gets customer service 101 the customer is always right even if their wrong you always try to make the customer happy no matter what people want tattoos where they want them its not up to someone else to decide high reaolution had excellent customer service and great artists that give you what you want how you want if you want to be hassled and not get what you want or be turned down because of where you want a tattoo dont go to black torch go to high resolution i love my tattoo from them and i will.be getting plenty more they will get my wife and i money not.black torch because they actually listen to the customer and give them what they want instead of turning them down because they dont like it doesnt matter what you like its up to the customer its their hard earned money and their body if thats what makes them happy thats what your supposed to do black torch is horrible high resolution is awesome

I got my eye brows done and therere beautiful! She was very nice and understanding of how I wanted my brows to look! A credit Card machine would have been great!

I got a tattoo by Daniel and he was wonderful! He was very professional and did an amazing job! I highly recommend Daniel and Black Torch Tattoos!!! I will definitely be back!

Loved working with Dan on a couple new pieces. Will absolutely come back to him.

Got my first color tattoo by Dan. Really enjoyed the experience. Clean work spaces and friendly staff.

They are very detailed when explaining things and make sure you never go to get something without knowing what you’re getting first. I could give many more examples, but altogether I highly recommend them, and they are super easy and kind to work with!

The artists are very talented. They are extremely professional, and the shop is very clean. Black Torch is the only place I would go for a tattoo or recommend anyone else go.

Man go see Dan. I showed him what I wanted and he made it look even better than the photo I brought him. 10/10 recommend! @danxtattoos

Awesome employees! Had my nostril pierced. Fast, clean, informed and friendly. Shall return.

Great place, great atmosphere, great service and amazing tattoos 11out 10 best place to get a tattoo

Not only do they do tattoos and piercings, but reach a different type of client with microblading. If youre looking for any type of body modifications, this is the place to be. Clean and friendly. Danielle especially rocks at microblading.

Loved jake (piercer) great personality, very clean (sterile) and knowledgable! When I get my next piercing Im coming back to him!

I got a tattoo done by Boo and he was very kool, quick and did a great job on my daughters feet I would recommend him to anyone!

Got my first tattoo here by Boo. Turned out great and he was very patient with me when I freaked out a little. He did it very quickly and efficiently. 10/10

Super friendly! took out a piercing that another shop messed up. i’ll definitely go back for either a piercing or tat. professional and clean!

The worst experience i have ever had with a tattoo shop. The receptionist was extremely rude and made me wait for 6 hours and then told me they could not do the tattoo. If i could give zero stars i would. Worst tattoo shop ive ever encountered.

Very friendly and helpful staff kinda a small shop but they rock over there at this spot

Got my nose pierced here. The wait wasnt very long and the piercer was quick and answered all of my questions. Nice atmosphere.

Just got my 2nd tattoo up there and I love them both! Friendly group of people. I also love that they take walk ins!

Highly recommend seeing Dan! Fair price and willing to work with you on the design.

Got my first tattoo from Chris here about four years ago. It healed perfectly and it still looks amazing. Incredibly kind staff.

Top notch shop with a relaxing professional environment. Have had many tattoos done from Boo and will have many more from the outstanding krew there.

Ive gotten tats from everyone in the shop and theyve all been great quality, exactly what ive wanted. definitely my first choice would recommend to anyone

Was able to do a walk-in. cleanness was out of this world. will definitely book again!

They have really nice work and the tattoo artist there are awesome me and my wife got wrist tattoos!

Me & my mom got our belly buttons pierced by Jake and it was a very clean place & overall great experience!

EXTREMELY clean and professional. Walk ins are as described. Again, very professionally ran business and not another well eventually get to you shops.

I got a tattoo here and the artist was super nice, but my tattoo honestly looks pretty terrible. All the lines are uneven and messy

2 tattoos and 1 piercing and I can’t recommend black torch more! Clean, professional and impressive work.

Got my second tattoo here and it was perfection. I will not go anywhere else. Highly recommend them to everyone.

Great place to get tattooed. Alex does a great job very happy with the work from him.

Rude and unwelcoming on the phone. If this is how the business is run, I definitely wont be utilizing their services. Youre better off taking your business elsewhere.

Chris was great! Drew up something better than I could’ve imagined and had me in and out of the shop quickly.

Got a piece done by Christopher and couldn’t be happier. Looks great and was in and out fast. Would highly recommend if you’re into traditional.

Got my eyebrows micro-bladed by Danielle and they came out great. Definitely something Id recommend for everyone.

Got my first tattoo here.. It was a great experience! I felt comfortable and the environment was clean

Got a tattoo by Chris on my right thigh. I am incredibly happy with it and definitely recommend him. 10/10 would see him again.

Daniel is a great artist! Cover up came out awesome. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Great place! Clean and friendly. Jake was awesome piercing our daughters ears.

Daniel is hands down one of the best artist in batonrouge! I highly recommend black torch tattoo!!

I went because I got an earring that I couldnt get in properly and the piercer was very kind and helpful.

Alex Campbell. Did a great job on my tattoo. Highly recommended.

Alex was incredibly awesomeYou can definitely trust these guys to give you quality art!

Best tattoo shop ever. Excellent work.

Dan X is a beast! Will definitely be going back to finish the rest of my arm!

Daniel went above and beyond! Wonderful work, clean environment, very friendly, reasonable prices, and great communication.

They where very professional and the tattoo was better than I expected. Great price and great people.

Josh tattooed me. It was quick and awesome. Oh, and he remembered to tell me his name was Josh. Good job :)

Very happy with my ink. Clean environment. Pleasant experience. Beautiful work. Highly recommend

Best tattoo shop! We drive over two hours just to get tattooed here. Well worth it.

Good artist and friendly staff. Really informative. Clean work areas and pricing up front and work is guaranteed

I got a daith piercing. The experience was great. Almost painless.

Daniels work is awesome. Clean and professional.

Courtney youre the best hunI will be back

That guy tried to tapper my lip. And couldn’t even put my jewelry in. Should be called the burnt lantern not the black torch ... and they were rude.

Black torch is a great experience!! Friendly faces great service i get all my work done there!

Did a walk-in appointment. They drew it up and I was out of there in an hour and a half. Very professional group! Will go back again!

Super cool shop. Great artists! Very clean. HIGHLY recommended by me.

I love my tattoo, the dude was so chill, and the place was very clean!

Loved it 😭🙌🏽 the shop was very clean and the people were very nice even though my friends and I came right before closing.

Absolutely love how my tattoo came out Chris was super fast and friendly
