When I first walked in the shop, immediately greeted with the greatest most genuine people! All of the artists are amazingly talented. Alexa blew me away, the way she turned my imagination into reality and surpassed every expectation I had. Such an amazing artist and even more an amazing person. Made sitting for hours a great experience. The shop is two hours away from where I live. And YES! I’ll be coming back!

Punch was amazing! She was so caring and knowledgeable and made sure I was comfortable the whole time!! Would 100% recommend 🫶Alexa is also an angel! I’ve been getting tattooed by her for over a year and she is so caring and understanding and takes so much time to perfect your tattoo🖤(This is the best photo I could take by myself of my fairy tattoo 🤭) Cant wait to go back and finish it!

I have now had many jewelry changes/piercings at Be True and Punch never fails to impress. She is attentive to all needs and preferences, thorough, kind, and loves her profession. The embodiment of a great person and piercer! She recently pierced my faux rook as I did not have the ideal anatomy for a regular rook piercing. So far, the healing process has been smooth and the jewelry is gorg! 🌟

I got a double conch done by Amanda. The online booking process was easy to navigate and straightforward. Amanda was incredibly precise and took her time to make sure I understood the process fully, even though I have many other piercings already. She is extremely personable and I appreciate how she takes her time to make sure you are happy with placement and the jewelry you choose. I had a fantastic experience and will recommend her and this shop to everyone I can.

Miss Amanda did the BEST job for my septum.I came in on the spot for a septum, got a tiny huggie one to lighten up my face, and man: it did light up my face!She also checked if my ears were still pierced, because I was just looking to re-pierce them.I ended up with a gold septum and mix and match earrings, their jewelry is to DIE for. And you’re able to order more if you want?? A dream.Loved going here, felt so safe, secure, and had a great time overall. Amanda is extremely experienced, you’ll be in good hands.

I don’t even know where to begin with all of the wonderful things I have to say about this place—but what makes it truly exceptional is miss Punch the piercer. I had the pleasure of getting 2 cartilage piercings today and wow just wow. Not only was I extremely impressed with the care, attention to detail and flawless precision but the jewelry options are superb, high end and I was pierced with the most sanitary process I’ve ever seen in my life. My experience from start to finish was so comfortable, and turned out so well. The shop is so beautiful and well kept—you can’t help but feel at ease. I haven’t seen people so passionate about their work in a very long time. It was truly refreshing to have this experience. Highly recommend for any piercing and tattoo needs.

The shop is clean and bright, with lots of fantastic art to look, and the staff is friendly. My appointment was with Punch for lobe piercings. Throughout the appointment she talked me through what was happening and why, and was able to answer any questions. She was very knowledgeable and provide easy to understand aftercare instructions. I will definitely be a return customer!I highly recommended her for your piercing needs!

The shop is very clean and the whole vibe is very calm and relaxed. Amanda is easily the best piercer I have ever been pierced by, she explained everything to me from start to finish and made sure I was comfortable through the entire process. She takes her time and doesn’t make you feel like you’re just another customer. Cy at the front of the house was also really wonderful and super sweet! Overall I give Be True Tattoo a solid 10/10 and I recommend them to anyone looking to get a piercing done!

This was my first tattoo and I ended up getting two. The staff were amazing. I sent/gave suggestions of what I wanted and Alexa (the superior artist) designed it. She did an amazing job! I would highly recommend this business. They follow up after it to check on you. Great PR!

I went into the shop with a rough idea and placement that I wanted a tattoo for and Alexa knocked it out of the park! The shop was super clean and comfortable to be tattooed in! Everyone was SUPER friendly and I even got a follow up text to check on my tattoo and make sure everything was healing right! Definitely recommend and plan on stopping back in when I’m back in town to collect another! 🥰

Charlie was my artist for my first tattoo. At first I walked in really nervous and skeptical, but Charlie made the experience memorable and let me know I was in good hands. The final product turned out incredible and I’m already planning my next tattoo. Definitely recommend!

Great service, very gracious staff, and extremely clean parlor. Their seating set up was comfortable and you can watch your friends get tattoos. Bathrooms are clean and we all loved our artists work. Our team came in to get the same tattoo, different sizes and different places and we all loved the outcome. Awesome experience for all of us.

I honestly was so beyond impressed going in here. I usually don’t leave reviews much but they are just amazing. I came in as a walk in just wanting something small and they had availability and I was in and out in less than an hour. I always get nervous with tattoos/piercings but Alexa was so nice and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Not to mention, it was definitely affordable for the amazing work. 10/10 would recommend, especially for the women who feel more comfortable surrounded by women!

Makayla is amazing, and you can tell they cared about the quality of their work. Both that Ive received so far have healed very well. I get so many compliments on my color piece. I tell everyone to go to Be True.Went back on 8/22/23 and got the beautiful lotus piece by Mak. I get compliments everywhere I go. I have at least 4 more tattoos and 2 piercings I want. I will be going to Be True for all of them.Update from October: I got a cute grunge bunny. I always enjoy ink therapy with Mak.Got my unicorn in December. My favorite so far. More in therapy in January.Its the best tattoo place ever. 💜April Update - still one of my favorite places in Lafayette. I am so proud of how the place has progressed.Just read a review about Makayla in particular. Since I cant respond to the review itself, Ill just update my review to make it even longer!I have never known Mak to be judgemental about their clientele. Mak welcomes everyone. Thanks to them, Ive been able to actually make progress in my mental health journey. Best therapist ever!True, my tattoos arent always their personal style, but Ive yet to be disappointed even though Im a little hard to read. I wouldnt come back if I didnt love all my tattoos and piercings.I feel extremely lucky to have met them when I did, and Im someone who does not people well. I dont have a lot of self-confidence, but every time I leave Be True, Ive gained a little more.Every tattoo my Mom and I have gotten has exceeded our expectations. Were always excited to see how our descriptions and references come together.Getting into piercings, Punch is always so thorough and chatty with us while also being professional.If you have a bad experience at Be True, your energy drives that. Maybe its just because Im there so often. I wouldnt be if I did not enjoy interacting with every member of the Be True team, though. I hand business cards, stickers, and old appointment cards out all the time.Ill be back in a few weeks! I cant wait to see my next stencil.Blessed be.

The only place I’ll go for piercings! Not only is the shop extremely clean, sterile and aesthetic but the piercer Amanda Punch is incredible! She always takes her time helping you pick out jewelry and working on piercing placement. Amanda also has a really comforting presence and she explains every step of the process as she goes. I always feel so comfortable and I’m never disappointed when I leave. Plus they have the best selection of quality jewelry and a gorgeous display case.

This was my first time getting tattooed by Alexa although I’ve been at the shop before. It’s extremely clean and I appreciate how simple the decor is (as someone with anxiety it’s so relaxing here). Alexa was phenomenal and really took her time designing what I wanted and it was truly perfect. She’s a great person to talk to as well we talked the whole time. I love her energy the whole experience was so great! I can’t wait to get more work done by her.

Makayla did such an amazing job with my first tattoo!!! We travel the country constantly and I’m so grateful that they were able to squeeze me in and to do such fine linework to boot! They were patient and kind, and helped teach me proper aftercare techniques so that the design turned out incredible!! Can’t recommend highly enough!

The shop was very clean and well kept. It felt really upscale and that’s saying a lot for a tattoo parlor, especially in Lafayette! I’d highly recommend going here especially if you’re a woman. There wasn’t a point that I felt uncomfortable and my tattoo was on my upper thigh. I’ll definitely be back for my coverups!

Review №22

I went in for my first piercing in many years and it was a great experience. I had assistance picking out an appropriate piece for my conch piercing, and had a range styles and price options to pick from. The process was not rushed. We then spent time looking at placement and Amanda explained everything as it was happening. There was minimal discomfort during the actual piercing, and I was given guidance on aftercare, healing times, and when to return for downsizing. I intend to return for at least a couple more piercings, and I highly recommend.

Punch is AMAZING!! Very very thorough. I went in to get my Medusa piercing done (upper lip) and she took all the time to make sure it was center. I am very very happy with my jewelry option and it’s healing beautifully. I can’t wait to go back for more piercings!

I will never go to another piercer. Amanda pierced my industrial and nose back in December of ‘22. Been going to her ever since. She’s so sweet and nice. She takes her time to make sure everything is placed correctly. She gives ideas and suggestions which are really helpful. I cannot recommend her enough!

Charlie always does a phenomenal job with my tattoos. I sent him a few pictures and details for inspo, and his sketch for this one blew me away. I didn’t want to change a single thing. Great conversationalist and just a cool dude. He made the appointment as comfortable as possible! I’m in love with my new tattoo 🖤

This is my second time getting my an ear piercing from Amanda and it was just as wonderful as the first time. Amanda knows so much about piercing and is just a lovely person in general. I love that she makes your appointment so personalized and even takes the time to test different jewelries to see what looks best! She’s is the best piercer that I’ve ever been too and now will be the only person I will go to. I also love how everything is so sterilize! Everyone in the shop was so pleasant! I can’t wait to come back again!

Went to Be True to get my daughter’s (4 years old) ears pierced, and Amanda was phenomenal with her. The space was very clean and well prepped. Amanda was patient with my little one and assured her throughout the entire process. She made her as comfortable as she could, and it made for an (almost) painless experience.

My daughter and I went to Be True Tatto amd Piercing to celebrate her 15th birthday. I received a tattoo, and she got 2 piercings. The staff was very knowledgeable and polite.

Amanda at Be True is the only person I will trust with my piercings. She is very knowledgeable and always takes her time to ensure my piercings come out just right. Amanda’s work highlights the difference between someone with a needle and jewelry and an individual who has dedicated themselves to their craft.

I had an appointment with Cy, and she is amazing. While she was doing my tattoo, she was my therapist, as tattoo artists usually are. Very creative, funny, talented, and very smart. I would def recommend anyone get a tattoo here and with her. I also had a piercing done but I am bad with names. She is tall and pierced. I believe there is only two of them. She is amazing as well. That was my first time getting a professional piercing, and she calmed my nerves and did not even hurt. She is very gentle and tells you everything she is doing along the way. Love this place. Everyone here is super friendly as well. Very clean establishment.

Originally tried to get an appointment at the sister shop, Instant Classic, but they referred me and my husband to Alexa at Be True. We couldnt be happier! Alexa is amazing! This was my first tattoo and we had the best time. We talked and laughed so much. I never thought I would laugh while getting tattooed, but Alexa has the best personality and is easy to talk to and very compassionate! She offered me several breaks and consistently checked to make sure I was doing ok. She is an amazing artist! I told her what I wanted and she drew the most amazing tattoos! The shop itself is very clean and all the artists are very friendly, welcoming and supportive! We were there for a total of 5 hours with Alexa staying late to finish! We will be going back for my husband to get his tattoos. Cant wait to go back!

Definitely recommend. I’ve been pierced and tattooed here and I won’t go anywhere else. I don’t live in town but the drive out is well worth it.Setting up appointments is easy and the artists (and piercer) are communicative. Each artist has a different style and vibe but they’re all delightful, knowledgeable, and clearly care about the work they’re doing.If you’re worried about sanitation/safety — which was a priority when I was searching for a shop — the shop is clean and everyone is adhering to the last sanitation/safety guidelines.

I loved my experience here at Be True. I’ve been to other piercing places but I’ve been here 2 or 3 times for different services and I will never go anywhere else again. Punch did my navel piercing and I would 100% trust her to do any other piercing. She takes her time and makes sure it’s perfect. They also took the time to reach out and ask how my piercing is healing and had all the answers to my after care questions and concerns. Atmosphere is also very nice.

I’ve only ever gotten piercings from Amanda Punch, and she’s freaking fantastic.

Best shop in town along side their sister shop Instant Classic. I would recommend Amanda to anyone and everyone for piercings. She creates such a personal and amazing experience for all of her clients. The artists here, Mak, Alexa, and Charlie are by far the best crew I’ve worked along side and I love the tattoos I’ve gotten from all three of them. 10/10. If you haven’t stopped by this place yet, you should come hangout.

I cannot say enough how much I loved this place. Amanda Punch is a fabulous artist and she spent time with my friend and I while we went back and forth trying to decide what jewelry we wanted and where we wanted to place the piercings.

Came to watch my friend get her first tattoo and it was absolutely the best experience! Her artist was Makayla, and they were such a vibe. The space was very open and clean but the energy was relaxed and comfy. Makayla made sure my friend liked her tattoo placement and coloring and wasn’t upset or annoyed with minor changes. They also got most of my jokes/media references which is just an instant billion points. They made our friend’s first tattoo experience so fun and she LOVES her new tattoo. It’s exactly what she wanted and it made me want to get a red ink tattoo in the future.

I took my 8 year old daughter to have her ears pierced in March. They went above and beyond to make sure Evie was comfortable and walked her through every step of the way. Amanda used a turtle analogy to help Evie better understand what not to do when she felt the piercing happening. Amanda is fantastic! I will definitely recommend Be True to anyone for their piercing needs.

Absolutely amazing!!! Can’t recommend Be True enough!!! Punch did my nose piercing, and she is absolutely amazing!!!! I was terrified and she made it so simple. I will definitely be back. No matter if it’s your first piercing or you have a ton, Punch is the girl to do it.Mak has done two of my tattoos and I can’t wait to come back for more. She is so chill and her work is amazing!!! Literally comes out so bold everytime!! Her work is amazing and doesn’t take long. She’s also really helpful if you’re nervous!!This is an amazing place full of supportive and encouraging artists. Be sure to check them out! Be True, I will absolutely be back!!

I got my nose pierced by Punch in May 2024. They were super helpful the first time I called before I even made my appointment as it was my first time getting a piercing since I was a toddler and my ears were pierced. Punch not only answered my questions and eased my concerns but was also super patient with me as I picked out my jewelry (I was super indecisive). I am excited to go back to change my stud in my nose into a ring!

This staff of ladies were extremely welcoming, knowledgeable, attentive, and fast. Our work was done beautifully by Lainy Lou and her passion for her craft felt unmatched! The facility was clean and well kept, the music was great, and someone was always able to assist promptly. Special shouts to Lex and Punch who stayed late and never diminished their hospitality a drop. My only gripe is the shop was slightly hard to find and could benifit from more flare to get the attention of passers by.

My cousin and I went to get a tattoo by Charlie, who is an exceptionally talented artist and also a great conversationalist. The tattoos turned out beautifully and I’m grateful we entrusted him with such a meaningful piece. We were there for a few hours, and in passing I had conversations with multiple artists who were all very kind and pleasant. The energy there is fantastic (and a great playlist). The aesthetic is also beautiful. It is very clean, and honestly just a top notch crew and establishment. Would absolutely return for more work and recommend to anyone seeking quality work by quality people.

Venue is extremely clean and welcoming.Had to reschedule a tattoo appointment due to my schedule not working out. While in the space, I spoke with Amanda about doing a nostril piercing since I had some time available. She promptly got me setup, reviewed healing instructions and procedure, helped me select appropriate jewelry for the piercing, and provided an absolute 11/10 experience for the actual process of piercing. Her positive demeanor and ability to clearly and concisely explain every step of the process made getting my second piercing an absolute breeze. Cannot recommend her services enough.Overall 11/10 experience with Amanda and will recommend friends to her in the future.

I got a tattoo here last week from one of the apprentices, Lainy, and the entire experience was wonderful. She was kind, patient, professional, and the tattoo she gave me came out amazing. Her mentor Charlie was also very personable and periodically checked in to make sure that her tattoo was progressing well and gave constructive criticism when necessary. The shop was modern, bright, and clean. All of the tattooers and piercers seemed happy to be there which made the experience more comfortable and enjoyable as a whole. Fantastic shop, will definitely be back!

Makayla is the most professional and one of the most artistically talented tattoo artist that I’ve ever been tattooed by. Her fine line work is top notch. Also, her fantasy work is out of this world, I’ve always wanted a tattoo of a mermaid with green hair and a purple tail to honor my mawmaw and she did her magic. We talked and connected about various different special interest, she was always down for a convo with me. Very clean and professional vibes. On top of that Very modern shop with a cool edge. The shop owner Charlie, is one of the most inspiring people, he is also a bada** artist. He also has a kind and gentle soul. The apprentice, Lainy is very sweet and welcoming. Overall a very fun and satisfying experience.

Review №169

The tattoo that my husband got today by Makayla Dupre was probably one of the worst tattoo experiences that either he or I have ever had.The entire process started off super unprofessionally with one of the first artists I talked to sending us on a goose chase between two tattoo parlors. Not once ever differentiating which one we should have been at to make a deposit in the first place. Upon arriving at Be True studios we were told that we could not make a deposit on a debit card which was not specified before to us when talking to them online & via text message. We had to use an ATM machine in their studio with a transaction fee.Lainey the person I had been in contact with told us during the deposit that we could pay with the debit card during the appointment. This also turned out not to be true. We again found ourselves today having to use the ATM again, acquiring a fee, again.During the tattoo process my husband was directed to lay on his side to get a left upper arm tattoo. Which to someone who (myself) has heavy arm tattoos has never seen this asked to do before. Ive always been able to sit up. I found this super strange.According to my husband the artist Makayla Dupre was super unfriendly/unwelcoming during the entire process. Not speaking any more than 10 sentences to him the entire time. I also found it very strange since every artist Ive ever worked with has been interested in what I was getting and why.When I arrived to pick my husband up I was immediately hit with this negative unwelcoming energy out of nowhere. It felt like all of the air had been sucked out of the room. I didnt understand where this energy was radiating from until I met Makayla Dupre. Who, mind you, did not greet me or my children. Even though they had just spent over an hour working on my husbands tattoo.Besides having to pay over $7 in ATM fees over the course of two visits we also tipped Makayla Dupre generously & never received a thank you from them.I dont know if this person was having an off day or not but I would not recommend Makayla Dupre in any capacity as a tattoo artist. They seem very biased to the type of clientele they desire.My opinion: I honestly think they have a problem with the fact that my husband is an older white male. My husband is a kind & gentle energy Pisces with a good heart and soul. This tattoo is meaningful & I dont believe that Makayla Dupre understood the assignment. Its a family tattoo that has very deep meaning especially since I am in the throes of stage 4 cancer. Its supposed to encompass my husbands, myself & my two daughters horoscope signs flowing together as one. If Makayla Dupre had spoken to my husband & realized that he is very passive they would have understood what he really wanted. What he & I spoke about for years deeply about finishing. I explained all of this during our emails initially that the tattoo should be intertwined. The tattoo is fine technically, good lines, but the energy in it is not there. The entire flow is off.Its not about the money at the end of the day. Being a tattoo artist is being an artist, period. Your work is supposed to reflect who you are no matter how big or small the tattoo is. I felt like their dislike & misunderstanding of my husband led to this debacle. They basically just slapped on whatever they felt like.If they had gotten to know my husband maybe they would be more sensitive to the fact that he & I have been practicing the craft for over 25 years & maybe they shouldnt have judged a book by its cover. Just as Im sure they dont want to be judged either.Makayla Dupre please get some better manners & understand that folks come from all walks of life. No matter what they look like.Im giving this place one 1 star not because there arent a lot of fine understanding artists between both shops. This rating is solely based upon Makayla Dupres professionalism, lack of artistry & willingness to get to know their clientele. Blessed Be.

Okay, so first, I want to brag on Amanda (Punch): Ive gotten a number of piercings from her at this point (this visit was my first at Be True), and every single time, I walk away feeling more confident, excited, and ecstatic about my new jewelry. She takes her work super seriously and goes out of her way to make sure Im well-informed while still managing to make it a comfortable, fun experience. I trust her to tell me when something may not work for my body and how to make any necessary adjustments, and she has never let me down in that regard.As a shop, Be True is incredibly clean, welcoming, and unintimidating (which cant be said for all tattoo businesses). Everyone there was super relaxed and seemed to just be enjoying themselves. The artists have done a great job creating a relaxing atmosphere for their clients.

Amanda is the best piercer in Lafayette, in Louisiana, maybe even the world! Takes the time to know your anatomy, placement, comfort level, all the good stuff. And walks you through every step of the process. She wants to get it right for you and it shows by her work. The dagger needed to come more to the right to look right on my anatomy so I came back the next day and she fixed it. 10/10 plus the shop is really cute and clean. Since they’re new a limited selection but they can order jewelry for you too!
