Catahoula Tattoo

By far the best and most comfortable experience I’ve had getting a tattoo! Dominic was so kind, he added on things for no extra cost to make sure I was getting exactly what I wanted. Everything was professional and clean also! Highly recommend coming here if you’re thinking about getting a tattoo in New Orleans.

My fiance and I had the absolute best experience having the free logos tattooed by the owner! We had the best time talking to him. My fiance had been tattooed at the parlor before, but this was my first time and I could not be happier with the experience and how the tattoo turned out. Dominic is not only a master at his craft but also a genuine person who goes above and beyond to connect with people and give an incredible tattooing experience. I had never been to New Orleans and came for our engagement trip to meet my future in-laws, and now we have the sickest tattoos to commemorate this special trip. We cannot wait to come back in the future to support this parlor!

I had an awesome experience at Catahoula Tattoo! Dominic truly knows what he is doing, and you can see his years of experience in his work and professionalism. We had a private tattoo party for a birthday, they were so kind and got a cake! (It was delicious). I am in love with my bumble bee tattoo, and this was one of the best tattoo experiences Ive ever had. Everyone in our party is very happy with their tattoos. Thank you to the entire shop for a great time and even better tattoos.

Outstanding personalized service! Dom did a wonderful job listening and creating an add-on design to finally finish off an already great design. I would highly recommend him or anyone in the shop in the future!

I had the most amazing experience getting my first tattoo here! Rafaela is amazing! The store is so cozy and everyone is so nice and makes you feel so comfortable. I was really nervous to be getting my first tattoo, but Rafaela was so fun and put me right at ease. The tattoo itself looks incredible and she walked me through every single step of the process so I wasn’t overwhelmed and felt at ease. I can’t say enough good things about them. If this is your first tattoo or your hundredth, this is the place to go!

If you are coming to New Orleans and youre skipping Catahoula Tattoo, youre doing it all wrong! This is a MUST for me now after just one scheduled visit. Dominic greeted us at the door and was super friendly. Not something we are used to as Ive previously have tried getting tattoos in the French quarter and they werent nearly as nice.As someone who has over 20 tattoos, the experience was different for me as I have NEVER been shown the needle sterilized date and expiration. Dominic explained this should be done ANYTIME you go to a tattoo shop. That made me feel even more comfortable knowing that Catahoula Tattoo cares for the safety of their customers.I got the Catahoula Tattoo logo and I absolutely love it! I feel like its not only a tattoo for remembering my trip to NOLA, but I also feel like family now.

Rafaela was absolutely wonderful! She has an incredible art style and was easy to work with during the design process. I came out for my birthday and everyone made me feel so welcome and special. Dom, the owner, came in towards the end of my appointment and was SO personable and friendly. This is a great spot and Ill definitely be back

Visited New Orleans for the first time this week and wanted to get commemorative tattoos. Booked appointments for my husband and I today and we both were booked with Jojo. She took our ideas and brought them to life even better than we could’ve imagined. Was very professional and cleanly and I can’t recommend her enough! We had ideas in mind which we shared ahead of time and Jojo already had some things drawn up and ready to go when we showed up for the appointment. If you’re planning on booking at Catahoula Tattoos, ask for Jojo!

I am here on vacation and saw Jojo. I am in love with the process from beginning to end! She listened to what I wanted, was personable, did a phenomenal job! I couldnt be happier with my newest tattoo

Great place for a tattoo! The artists are talented and accomodating, making sure youre comfortable the entire time. Olivia did a great job helping me decide size, placement, and everything else. She really made me feel confident in her abilities and artistry. Highly recommend Olivia at Catahoula for your next tattoo!

Jojo is awesome. As a first timer, the process was smooth sailing for both pieces I got done. Jojo took my ideas and brought them to life. I couldnt be happier! Great way to end my birthday. The entire shop is a vibe. Highly recommend Catahoula Tattoo!

The best shop culture! My artist was JoJo, and she was absolutely amazing. We worked together on designing this piece, and I appreciate her patience and amazing TALENT! It wasnt just about getting a tattoo but a unique experience with the best people around in New Orleans.

Have you ever found a tattoo parlor so comfortable and filled with such fantastic people that you want to hang out there every day? Thats Catahoula Tattoo. The space is bright and clean, filled with the buzz of tattoo guns and eclectic music, and the aroma of a freshly brewed pot of coffee. The staff are knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly skilled. You cant go wrong getting permanent artwork from any of them, but I highly recommend Olivia for her intricate linework.

Olivia was super super helpful and enthusiastic from the beginning of scheduling, going out of her way to make the tattoo appointment work even though I didn’t have many days in New Orleans! I can’t say enough how great the tattoo is and how well she walked me through every step of the process, even though I’ve gotten many tattoos before. Also the owner Dom was there while I was getting tattooed and he seemed wonderful! A great place!

My partner and I went here for his first tattoo and my 20th. Dom is nothing but professional and kind throughout the entire process and made my anxious boyfriend feel so comfortable that he sat like a rock. I will be back go get some more work done very soon. Thank you!

Great great GREAT experience. First tattoo ever, and am not from NOLA. Catahoula was recommended to me by a friend and they did not disappoint. My tattoo artist was Dom and when I say incredible #chefkiss. We talked about my vision, and he informed me of the pain i could possibly experience due to where I wanted my tattoo, it being my first tattoo. He genuinely wanted me to have the best experience possible, and due to his genuine-ness, my experience was just that. There was pain, but it was definitely more tolerable than my mind was thinking it would be. Dom and I had great conversation through the tattoo and even laughed here and there. This place is awesome. I’m not sure if I’ll get tatted anywhere else now, I may have to come here each time

Olivia is brilliant! I had the best experience all around: she listened to what I wanted and created something so beautiful! She was patient, kind, and professional through the entire process. Couldn’t be happier with my new tattoo!

Only place I wanna get a tattoo in New Orleans.1) Dominic knows what he’s doing. He knows how to work with color on melanated skin.A few times artist have tried to throw color on me and it looks busted. Dominic threw on some hot pink and I love it !!! On my other tattoo he put a deep blue. And it’s popping. Also it’s a black light ink hehe. So even extra awesome2) Dominic really took his time to make sure I got the tattoo that I wanted. He was so patient with me and never made me feel uncomfortable for asking any adjustments on the stencil.3) the shop is super clean. He’s not playing with that!4) I feel so comfortable there. When Dominic says to make yourself at home he really means it.It’s a mistake not to come get a tattoo here .

The best tattoo parlor I’ve ever been to. They’re doing something special for the tattoo scene over at Catahoula. I don’t even know how to describe it. The staff is amazing. I worked with JoJo, and it was a fantastic experience. I would seriously travel back to Nola just to get my next tattoo from any of the staff members here.

I had such a great experience at Catahoula. I got one of Rafaelas original pieces and she absolutely killed it. She was welcoming, funny, and a great artist. Absolutely recommend getting work done here. Hands down my best tattoo experience!

This review is for Jojo, the tattoo artist who refined the design concept I shared with her and tattooed me. The process to come up with the final design was challenging - all done through email without a live consult at all. I was admittedly particular in my vision as I have an art degree and hire creatives to deliver artwork as part of my job. While difficult, we did arrive at a design I was 95% comfortable with. Her inking skills are very good from fine line detail work to color blending and she made me feel very comfortable throughout the process of performing the tattoo itself. I am ultimately pleased with my tattoo and would recommend working with Jojo to others but suggest a live consult to help build rapport. Side note - I had a rather unusual conversation with the shop owner Dominic after setting up the appointment. Just left me with an off vibe which I also felt in person when I met him.

I will definitely be coming back when I visit NOLA again!! Jojo was amazing helping me create my vision for my first tattoo and it came out perfect! She made me feel very comfortable and that it was okay to be picky with my tattoo. I loved that I was showed the expiration dates and the tools being used. The music is great and there is so much cool art. If you’re in NOLA and looking for a good place to get a tattoo come here!

This place is AMAZING. i had booked my appointment with Dominic. this was my first tattoo and he made me feel so comfortable and was such a great artist! he was very easy to talk to and explained each and every step of the process along the way. he had also gone out of his way to get me a cake for my birthday and i cannot appreciate him enough! he has great work and such a wonderful personality. cannot recommend this place enough!

A friend and I had a great experience at Catahoula while visiting from Philadelphia. Dominic was warm and welcoming. I am very tattooed but he explained everything he was going to do in a kind way. The shop itself was very clean and a pot of coffee welcomed us.The work completed looked fantastic. I am excited to return to the shop in the future!

My friend and I loved our experience here! Dom was great and very fun to talk to. We had an itch for a spontaneous day-of little matching tattoo and he stayed late to do it for us - our request wasnt in his style but he was willing and they turned out great. Plus... Free coffee!! And live music sometimes! Great atmosphere, highly recommend this place

The place looked great and all the artists seemed great. Then dom started talking and it just went downhill. Insulted a tattoo I had, made me feel extremely uncomfortable and was overall just rude, while puffing himself up because hes been doing this for over 40 years. He made eyes at another artist as she finished my friends tattoo as well. The only saving grace were the other artists who clearly contributed to the initial great atmosphere.

This is the place I went to for my first tattoo and my second tattoo! The people are great the building is great I absolutely love this place! If you want a tattoo and you want it done well get a consultation here and you’ll be in good hands.

Today was seriously the sweetest! Thank you so much for having me in your shop! The experience was lovely and so heartfelt.My “a” tattoo is just the right tribute to my husband, Adrian, who died from brain cancer.Olivia was so gracious in helping me narrow down my font and selecting my size and placement for the tattoo.Dom was so kind to ensure I had coffee and felt welcomed into their shop.Thank you for taking care of me today! I am very thankful! 💛

I booked online for a session for my NOLA trip. The process was easy. He did a great job with the drawing from the description I gave. I wanted something added and Dom made a couple suggestions. He was quick and efficient with the changes. Dom is super friendly and if its your first tat, he will put your mind at ease by going over the process and showing you the new needle hell be using. It felt like I was hanging out with an old friend. I had a great time, it was one of the hilights of my trip. Ill definitely be back. Afterwards I Ubered over to the nearby Kermits Mother In Law Lounge and had a blast.Oh yeah. Dom makes great coffee. Also I got the free Catahoula Tattoo logo and had Nola added underneath. I love it

Jojo was such an amazing person to work with, so supportive, so kind and uplifting! Not to mention her art! She delivered exactly what I wanted and was so passionate about my piece! Not to mention her showing me the expiration date and sealed packaging of the needle she used, which was stellar to see! Next time I’m back in NOLA I’m coming right back to her, she’s the best artist that I’ve been to yet out of my 7 tattoos!! Overall such a comfortable place to go for a tattoo and I couldn’t recommend Jojo enough!!! -425

What an amazing experience thanks to Dominic!!! We decided to make our Nola trip special by having our first tattoos! Dom talked us thro everything, explained every step, advised on the design and made the whole experience more than we could have hoped for! Thank you so much we loved the result! V&R xxx

Very great experience! Had an appointment with Veronica. She was professional, easy to talk to, and finished quite fast with great quality. I got a tattoo from her design sheets which turned out exactly like the drawing. Highly recommend Veronica and Catahoula Tattoo!

We just left JoJo from Catahoula Tattoos. She was the BEST! We had a hard time finding an artist that did fine line tattoos in New Orleans. JoJo was one of the only artists that we found.Three of us got different fine line tattoos and she did a beautiful job with each one. She took her time to make sure everything was just right and she made it clear that her first priority was insuring that we loved our tattoos! I highly recommend JoJo!

Best tattoo experience I have ever had! The team was amazing, the shop was so cute and the tattoo came out perfectly! We had a group of five and they were so accommodating! Special shout out to Jojo! She was our artist and she did an amazing job! She was so helpful in trying out different placements and made us feel comfortable throughout the entire appointment! 10/10 recommend coming here! I’ll definitely be back to see Jojo and the team!

Went to Catahoula for a tattoo on my daughters 18th birthday and had the best experience one could ask for. Dominic is a complete professional with an abundance of talent. Dominic helped us feel comfortable and safe making everything fun and enjoyable for my daughters first tattoo milestone. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!Thank you again for being a spectacular human and making this such a fun memory.

Incredible work and hospitality. This was my first tattoo, and I was pretty nervous. Olivia was my tattoo artist, and she made me feel right at home. There was never a time where I felt rushed, and was given the space to make all of my final decisions. The smaller shop allows for an intimate experience and you’re surrounded by all the chill vibes. This shop does their sanitary process by the book and everything was super clean. Would 100% use them again !

Vevva was so great and the entire Catahoula experience was equally great! Getting a tattoo can be a bit intimidating, but that is not the case here at all. Vevva helped me come up with the deisgn for my tattoo and finished the entire process quickly. And all at an affordable price.

Amazing experience! Dominic was very professional but also super friendly. This was my first tattoo so I was a little nervous at first, but Dominic was very understanding and walked me through the whole process step by step. I got matching tattoos with my siblings and we are all beyond happy with our tattoos! Id give six stars if I could!

I had such an incredible experience here! Made an appointment with Veronica who was super bubbly and professional. She checked in on me through the whole thing and made my tattoo idea even better than I had in mind. Highly recommend Veronica and Catahoula!

What a first experience! Brought my daughter here RELUCTANTLY for her first tattoo. Mr. Dom made us feel right at home. We walked in as first time customers and left as family. Mr. Dom was awesome. Definitely will be back. Olivia, cant wait to meet you chick! Strongly suggest Catahoula Tattoo if you are a first timer.

This place is great. Staff is super friendly. They have musicians come and play occasionally. The coffee is always free and you can get their logo tattooed for free!

I have to say I have never had a tattoo appointment that was as amazing as mine from here. I have close to 20 tattoos, some from shops and some I shouldn’t have ever gotten, and Dom was by far the best artist I could’ve gotten. From talking about what I was wanting, to measurements for the tattoo, to getting stuff drawn out, the stencil being placed, to the tattoo itself. Just an awesome time with great people. And now I have a memorial tattoo for my dad that I’ve wanted for over a year. One that was even better than I could imagine. Thank you so much! I will DEFINITELY be back again. Give it a year or maybe two to save up the money again. But I will be coming back.(So sorry for crying on you Dom. But at least they were happy tears!)

Great place, awesome tattoos & tasty coffee! The cherry on the cupcake is Dominic who knows how to make you feel comfortable! The guy is probably made of gold! Thank you so much for the New Orleans tattoo experience! Not only I recommend the place but I will definitely come back ❤️

Dom was amazing and had great conversation! Me and a friend got the tattoo of his shop logo and made it quick and easy! Offered us coffee that they get locally rostered here in New Orleans and even gave us free bag to take home! Highly recommend if you’re in New Orleans and wanna get a tattoo! #403

We had an easy, friendly and very time efficient experience at Catahoula Tattoo! My husband had a custom request. He booked his appt online and got a call within the hour from Dominic to discuss what he wanted, and even offered to move the appt up to make it more convenient. The tattoo came out great, and he provided some great advice related to tattoos and scars. Tip- do NOT park in the parking lot next door (auto parts store) as they do tow vehicles.. I would recommend Catahoula highly!

If you are in NOLA, looking for a tattoo, Catahoula Tattoo is the place to go! Everyone there is super nice, and gave me a close family sort of vibe. Plus got the free logo tattoo, and they love to have fun! 100% would go again!

Great work, Dom was very friendly and a great listener. My tattoo came out great, and very fast.

Highly recommend Catahoula Tattoos. Went in yesterday to have three (yep, a combo of procrastination and over achievement) small tattoos done and I will absolutely be back! From the ease of scheduling online and receiving reminder texts, to the warm cup of coffee and welcoming staff (Dominic & Olivia were there), to the safety and cleanliness, to the attention of detail in my tattoos - everything was absolute TOPS. Dominic made me feel 100% at ease, was fun, social, and professional. I honestly left there feeling like part of the Catahoula family - which is a good thing since I left with their amazing shop logo on my leg! So glad to be #333!

The staff was super friendly and completely accommodating. Vevva did my cover up tattoo and added her own touch to my dragonfly. I couldnt be any happier with how it came out. She was super easy to work with and made sure I was absolutely comfortable. her vibe and style was the perfect match for an artist.

Went to Silvia for my first tattoo while back in Nola visiting. Sent inspiration photos in advance but it didn’t look like she got them. We went with one of my inspiration photos which was fine but I thought original artwork was part of the process. She was great to work with and explained everything but may not be the best choice for line work. The transfer paper was multiple pieces which was fine but smudged and ended up leaving the final piece off center. I still love it and am grateful for her effort, but am now working with another artist to correct the issues.

I went to get a fine line tattoo with my siblings, and it not only turned out amazing, but Dominic was extremely nice! He comforted my sister who was anxious and was so hospitable. I had a great time and ended up leaving with an even better tattoo.

Vevva is absolutely amazing! She took a very simple and somewhat disjointed thought of mine and made it come to life and absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Vevva, for helping me celebrate world Down syndrome day a day early with art I will carry forever! She is truly a gem ❤️❤️❤️

Pretty much all of my tattoos have been done at different places, but none have been as welcoming and fun as Catahoula. Dominic was very patient with me and the design I wanted as it was a lot of very straight lines and circles. He did a fantastic job and the tattoo came out perfect. I cant recommend Dominic and his shop enough!

By far the greatest tattoo experience yet, Dominic and his staff are lovely, welcoming, and love to have a laugh. Dominic makes you feel super comfortable throughout the whole process and I am very stoked with the results. Highly recommend Catahoula Tattoo 👌

Hey everyone!I’ve just got my very first tattoo which is I was dreaming about for more than 2 years, finally made my research and I think I chose the best place for getting an eternal art to my body, first I reach them through their Instagram page, they reply my every little concern asap and match me with Dominic, he has more than 40 years of experience, very friendly and open to have a conversation about literally anything. Based on my research, this tattoo shop is the only tattoo shop in NOLA which is you can use their website for anything. (Making an appointment, ordering products etc. This is my personal opinion; it feels way more professional instead of trying to make everything done on instagram) You guys can see the very first final results from the pictures, I took the pictures just after made my way home from the shop. Based on my research their aftercare products are better than any kind of “popular” product, plus they have their own coffee. (P.S. I’m not getting paid or having any benefit for posting this review, this is just a clarification of my satisfaction, and excitement of having my first tattoo on my body, thanks a lot.)

Just got a tat last week with Rafaela and it was truly my best session yet. Her work is sensational and i definitely will be back for more work. Truly a beautiful person and amazing at what she does. Keep ip the greatness see you soon. Also loved every bit of artwork and the aesthetic of the shop. Beautiful place. See yall soon!

I had an amazing time here! Jojo was my artist and she did a fantastic job on my first tattoo and she gave me an unforgettable experience!! She ensured I was comfortable and was so helpful with helping me choose my placement and size. Such an amazing human being who really knows what shes doing and has a passion for her work! Everyone else was also extremely kind and welcoming!! I highly recommend coming here

This shop is awesome! We had 6 ladies there for a tattoo party, and the artists were so wonderful to us, and made sure everybody was comfortable. I highly recommend this place and I will absolutely be back! Dominic did great work that I am proud to have for life. Thanks again for everything.

Amazing experience and the sweetest staff!! super easy and clean experience, and love the way we were able to work together to create a design! veronica did some beautiful line work and i’m so happy

Dominic cares about his shop, his art, and everyone who walks through the door (youve got to push it REAL GOOD). As soon as you set foot in this shop his appreciation and expertise of art is apparent. He is a lover of art in ALL forms as youll see and HEAR, due to the fact that he holds live music on a weekly basis! How many people can say they got their tattoo in front of a live band?Whether youre looking for beautiful art, good live music or your next tattoo, Catahoula Tattoo & Gallery has it all.

I was recommended this shop by a friend, who had a beautiful tattoo from Dom, so I booked a consultation with him to discuss a magnolia I wanted on my upper thigh.This was my very first tattoo and despite research I had still never actually gone through the experience and wasn’t sure what to expect.I expressed this sentiment to Dom, who reassured me multiple times that I was in good hands and shared his credentials with me - that he had been tattooing for 40+ years and trained everyone else in the shop.When the day came for the appointment, I was very nervous and checked in with Dom multiple times about the design, even trying to explain to him some of the fine details I really liked and wanted to make sure were included (which he seemingly brushed off and semi-ignored). Dom was very pleasant and made me feel very comfortable before and throughout (even opened the shop on Monday to accommodate me).After 25 minutes of tattooing when Dom said he was finished I looked down and was horrified. I contacted him later to express that this was not what I asked for or was expecting, to which he called me asking how to remedy the situation, and offered me a refund, but never followed through on that.I have no ill will at all towards Dom as he was very pleasant, though as you’ll see from the picture below, this tattoo speaks for itself. I’m not sure if it was an off day or a fluke, but this tattoo (only a week and a half healed) looks faded, splotchy, uneven lines, and has absolutely NONE of the details I asked for.I don’t think this was specifically the fault of Dom or the shop, but as something that is permanently on my body, my very first tattoo, one that meant a lot to me, I am understandably upset.

Rafaela is a gem of a human and a wonderful artist. She helped me plan out my idea and made it happen. Ill be back!

My wife and I have been to many tattoo artists as we travel. This is has been our best experience of any. Dominic is an extremely talented artist and was even nice enough to get my wife a birthday cake. How can a place have so many 5 star reviews? Now we know. We came as customers, we left as friends. If you are in the New Orleans area, i cant recommend this place enough. We will absolutely be back to see Dominic and Sill for another tattoo. Simply wonderful people.

This place was lovely! The staff were super friendly and created a relaxing (but fun) atmosphere. Olivia was my tattoo artist and did an outstanding job. She really listened to my ideas and created a beautiful tattoo. She was super knowledgeable on fine line tattoos and how to care for them. I recommend this place if you are looking for a great tattoo and a chill environment. (Also they offer free coffee which is a plus!!)

From Dominic’s patient and helpful suggestions to Dakota (our artist) this was an exceptional experience. The shop is welcoming with a laid back vibe. Dakota did my work along with my best friend who was getting her first tattoo. I cannot say enough good things about Dakota and her work. She created exactly the design I wanted and her gradient color was amazing. She also has very “light hand” which made the whole session easy and engaging. Loved the whole crew and thrilled with Dakota in particular.

My husband and I have been to countless tattoo shops all over the country. This by FAR has been our best experience. Dominic and his staff are absolutely 💯 👌. It was my birthday weekend and they even surprised me with a cake. How cool is that??? They are just wonderful people and we felt we were right where we were supposed to be. Their work is outstanding and we cant wait to come here to see them again. Trust me. Book your next tattoo here.

Super awesome experience! Went with two other lovely ladies for their first tattoo and they made it super comfortable and answered any questions they had. We had Big Sil and Dominic (who I highly rec!!) they were awesome!!

I got two amazing tattoos from Dominic! The whole designing process was extremely fun and he listened to exactly what I wanted (even the most extreme minor details) attentively and gave helpful suggestions about things to change to make the tattoos better. The studio was extremely sanitary and I got everything I wanted and more since I was able to run all my ideas by someone with experience and talent in the field. When I came in, I wasn’t sure exactly where I wanted either of my tattoos, so he was able to put stencils on me to see what I wanted and where until I was completely sure about my choice. I also really loved the positive atmosphere and how patient everyone in the studio was. It was such a great experience that I could write two reviews about it and I know that the next tattoo I get will be with them!

We had the best experience with Dom and Big Sil. They were both so friendly as well as excellent artists. We will definitely be back for our next tattoo. You won’t be disappointed going to Catahoula.

My second time going here, and its always such a fun and welcoming experience. I booked a tattoo last summer with Dakota. They were extremely friendly, and they took the time and care to draw and place my tattoo. I booked another tattoo appointment last month with Flocco. I made sure to include all of the details that were needed while emailing her for my booking. Again, the vibe at Catahoula was still the same. Everyone in the shop made sure I was comfortable. Floccos line work is out of this world! She was super careful and detailed while doing the tattoo.I tell everyone about this place. Especially those who want intricate line work! I tell them about Flocco. I plan on coming here again when I want my next tattoo.

My sisters and I all got tattoos here with the amazing Jojo and they turned out so cute! We booked one of their tattoo parties. Everyone was super kind and professional. They showed us the needles in the packaging, expiration dates and even though it was a small tattoo let us try different placements so we knew we would love it. Thank you Jojo and Catahoula tattoo! We will definitely be back and you should go too!

Olivia is THE BEST! A small group of us came in to get a variety of fine line tattoos, and we all had the most amazing experience working with Olivia! She is so fun, so good at her job, and most importantly her top priority is making women feel safe and comfortable getting tattooed from her. I can’t recommend her enough and will be back soon!

Great shop with great artists! When I got there, I got a warm welcome from Dom. I felt right at home as I waited for my tattoo artist Olivia to get there. I sent pictures to Olivia ahead of time and she came prepared with 2 beautiful drawings. I couldn’t have found a better artist to bring this piece that I’ve been wanting for years to life. I 10/10 recommend this shop, great vibes and great artists!

Highly recommend! Olivia and Hayden were phenomenal and so friendly. It was an awesome experience for our first tattoos. We will definitely be back.

My husband and I got the logo tattoo as a Mardi Gras souvenir. The shop was clean and staff very welcoming. The tattoo was done with care but went fast and turned out great! Excellent service, would definitely recommend!

Great atmosphere! The artists were all very friendly and welcoming. It felt like walking into a small town coffee shop where everyone knew each other and loved meeting new people.Jojo did an amazing job on my piece and was very professional, even showing the expiration date on the needle before opening it.I highly recommend and will definitely return.

I went with my friend who was getting a tattoo and honestly great service. Everyone there made us feel comfortable. They all gave off positive vibes and were very easy to talk to. Dominic did a great job doing my friend’s tattoo and Big Sil was amazing with the care and preparation. Definitely check them out.

I reserved a tattoo party with Dom and Jojo to commemorate our wedding weekend and they made our first tattoos THE MOST INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE! You can absolutely trust them when they say they wont steer you wrong. They worked with us individually to draw all the art by hand and communication with photos ahead of time was a breeze. They were so detailed and particular with everything from shading, colors, placement (took stencils off and on as many times as we needed), and were meticulous about cleanliness and expiration dates. They even had a king cake for us! My whole family was so impressed by the beautiful results and we will treasure our tattoos always. Thank you so much Dom and Jojo! Yall killed it! Our first experience but it wont be the last. If you are considering booking, you found the right place.

5/5. Dominic and the rest of the staff were courteous, friendly, and professional. The vibe is laid back and eclectic. One artist was playing a piano thats in the studio while I waited for my appointment to start. The free coffee was great.Dominic emailed me before my appointment to collaborate on the design, and sent me several revisions before finalizing it with me during the appointment.The folks at Catahoula go above and beyond, and clearly love what they do. Ill definitely be going back for my next piece! I cant recommend this place enough!

Dom and Olivia are such wonderful people! Their shop is cozy, welcoming, and super clean. From the consultation to the touch up, Olivia and Dom were enthusiastic and helpful. I’ve gotten two tattoos from Olivia and they’re so dainty and beautiful. I’ve been to some tattoo shops where I’ve felt judged for the style of tattoos I wanted or for being nervous. That was not the case here. Conversation flowed easily and I felt at ease throughout the whole process. By the end of your session, you’ll want to grab a beer with both of them. I’ll definitely be going back for more.

I can’t say enough great things about Dominic and the staff at Catahoula! As soon as I walked in I was greeted by the sweetest ladies at the front desk (Dakota and Olivia)! Dominic was so kind, did amazing work and genuinely cared about my experience! ALSO THEY HAD COFFEE & PUMPKIN BREAD!! I have never been to a tattoo shop with this same amazing, family type atmosphere and I’ve been to quite a few, so that’s saying a lot! 10/10 will recommend Dominic and the staff at Catahoula to everyone I know looking for a tattoo!

My son and I each got a tattoo during a recent trip to NOLA and SW Louisiana. Highly recommend Catahoula Tattoo. Big Sil and Dominic are true professionals at their craft. 5 out of 5 stars.

Catahoula tattoos is a magical place! My artist Olivia made me feel so comfortable and gave me my favorite tattoo Ive gotten! Dom is also so friendly and fun. The atmosphere was inviting and clean. Both Dom and Olivia are extremely talented and know the ins and outs of tattooing. I strongly encourage anyone looking for a unique tattoo to head over to catahoula. Best decision Ive made this year!

Dominic was amazing! Great attention to detail made sure my friend and I were comfortable and super happy with our pieces. Was sooo flexible and was willing to even add some small tattoos we asked for last minute! The environment was clean, comfy, COVID safe, and overall just a great atmosphere! My friend and I will be back, and I personally have found my new go to tattoo shop! 10/10 would recommend 💕

A very chill and friendly atmosphere with incredibly talented and knowledgeable artists. Hayden and Dominic did my and my partners tattoos and were wonderful.

Sil was great! Place super clean, she guided us through every step of the way, gave us space to feel comfortable, gave us candy and water, coffee was also available for us, she made it an awesome experience! We appreciate Sil and Catahoula and are so very happy to have this forever souvenir! Till next time!

Dominic booked us for a private party of 5 for a 4 hour session. The part was booked for a birthday party tattoo session and when we arrived there was a birthday cake and hot coffee (delicious) waiting for us. He listened to what we wanted and was very friendly. I highly recommend booking tattoo parties here, or tattoos in general. Make sure to grab a bag of coffee too; it was amazing! Thank you Dominic, we are so happy.

I came in with my own design and Dakota really took the time to figure out how to best translate it into a tattoo. Dakota created a great, chill environment throughout the process; I barely noticed I was in the chair for 5 hours. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking to get a tattoo. They listen to what you want and will make sure you walk out of there happy with their work. Book now!

Omg this was the best place ever… I wasn’t sure what I wanted and the shop owner Dominic and employees Olivia & Silvia really helped me figure out what meant the best to me. I wanted something small and meaningful and after many changes we got the right tattoo! Silvia was so nice about my tattoo and she did an amazing job! I LOVE IT…. Thank you!

Vevva is an amazing artist and great at what she does! Dominic was so friendly to me. This place is where you want to get tattooed. Ill definitely be coming back soon

OMG. Olivia Flocco, you are THE best. I went to get my first tattoo at Catahoula, and they took care of me since the moment I requested the appointment online. They knew the tattoo had a special, and deep meaning to me, so they went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and taken care of! Olivia wasn’t even supposed to be working that day, but she went to work just to make my dream come true! Simply awesome people. I love you guys! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

My friends and I wanted to get matching tattoos and decided on this shop because of all the good reviews here. Just wanted to share our experience so someone else doesnt make the same mistake.We wanted a fine-line rose, and saw that one of their artists, Olivia, seemed to specialize in fine-line work. So we reached out MULTIPLE times to see if we could book with her. After not getting any reply through e-mail, voicemail, calls-we booked with Dom and sent over details on what we wanted and it didnt seem to be an issue. Olivia eventually got back to us a couple days before our appt saying she had another appointment that day but that we were in good hands with Dom rather than attempting to engage in accommodating our request of artist as we were flexible and informed her of this.When we arrived, there was what seemed like a newer artist checking us in and asking about the image and sizing and placements. We wanted it pretty small (about 2 inches) and were told that she could not do it that small, and if we wanted it that small Dom would have to do it… We were confused because we thought we booked with Dom, his name was on our booking. He said he brought her in specifically to do ours because “we wanted a girl”. We didnt care about the gender and had just requested Olivia earlier because of her work on Instagram. We were confused and felt bad that this artist came in specifically to do us that day.He then went on to give us a hard time about questions we asked (for a couple of us it was our first tattoo and we were excited/nervous). One of us was trying to decide between a couple of different placements and asked to see the stencil placed there and was told they couldnt do that because they hand draw the stencil.Finally, we get to the tattoos... There are 4 of us that wanted to get this matching simple rose.... We’ll just attach a picture and let them speak for themselves. They all look different and nothing like the picture we asked for. There are weird imperfections on each one, but worst of all one of us got a blowout (when a tattoo artist injects ink too deeply into your skin beyond the top layer and into the fat below) and it looks completely horrible. we even asked for 4 thorns since their is 4 of us... one of us has 5 thorns.. one of us has 3....We didnt immediately realize how bad they were because they were covered when we left but we’ve just been getting more and more disappointed and heartbroken looking at them since. I’m sure there are styles this place does really well but wanted to share our experience and caution anyone.

What an incredible experience start to finish! I had never booked a tattoo in advance with a specific artist before and Im SO glad I found Olivia. Shes attentive, easy-going, and as brilliant as she is accommodating. 11/10 experience and Im so happy she was able to bring a piece of my artwork to life! THANKS FLOCCNESS! Hope to see ya again for my next tat!

Dominic is the best, has done all my tattoos and will continue to do so

My friend and I found Olivia online and loved all of her work! She was super professional but friendly and took very good care of us. Dom was also there and they were both so easy to chat with which made for a very friendly and accommodating atmosphere. We both loveee our tattoos and well both be going back for more!

My fiance and I got tattoos from Dominic tonight! We absolutely love them. He is super talented! Oliva and Dominic made the appointment so much fun and welcoming; compared to other shops we tried to go to. Well most definitely come back to visit Dominic for my next tattoo!! He is worth the 13 hour drive!!! Thank you so much Dominic!

Sil was so amazing! She designed a tattoo way better than I could have ever dreamed of. Will definitely come back when I’m in town!

My friend and I went and had tattoos done by Olivia. We love it. It was my friends first-time and she couldnt stop looking at it. She wants more. Thank you Olivia we love it.

I had visited this shop a few times although not many. I can say the few times I’ve been there it was very welcoming! The shop is small but it makes the experience more intimate and get to your artist well. The shop is always cleaned and sanitized and I occasionally hear the shop owner, Dom, make sure of that with his artists. It’s definitely freeing to know that your tattoo whether it’s right then and there or booked in advance is in a sanitary place that practices up to date protocols. They have a new artist currently in apprenticeship, Silvia, who is talented in her work in being a tattoo artist although just starting out with a needle. Her work isn’t tip-top perfection (as we shouldn’t expect it to be in apprenticeship!) is looked after by Dom making sure everything is done well and up to standard. Silvia’s work is still very good and I would definitely get a tattoo from her next time I’m ready to have a needle to my skin again haha. I’ve met Olivia once and she is very open and talkative and certainly makes me feel welcome. Being at a tattoo shop I’ve shown them a tattoo I’ve gotten previously at another shop and their responses were very positive and not demeaning of the other shop which I can appreciate. They also offer free new orleans coffee, who doesn’t love that?! Occasionally they have ‘underground’ artists come to their shop after hours and perform a show that’s open to the public as well. I would definitely recommend anyone to book with them or even stop by for a small chat if you’re just curious about them

Absolutely amazing artwork done by Dominik at CATAHOULA. A great atmosphere with exceptional artists that love their work just as much as the customers. If you’re in New Orleans and want a tattoo go here. THEY ARE PHENOMENAL!

I recently had the honor of getting tattooed by Dakota. Not only was the process lovely and quite painless, the tattoo came out amazing!The whole staff created a welcoming atmosphere and made me feel so at ease! The experience was great and I’m so happy with my new ink! Cannot recommend this shop and especially Dakota enough! I can’t wait to go back and have Dakota tattoo me again!

My 18 yr old daughter and I came here for what was each of ours second tattoos, my first in a tattoo shop. I got tatted by Dominic and my daughter by Olivia. Cannot say enough good things, such genuinely nice people who really cared about our well-being, our comfort, and ensuring we had a great experience and left with great tattoos. We both love our tattoos, the prices were reasonable, and we had a great time chatting with our artists.HIGHLY recommend this place!

My friends and I booked a party with Dominic and had a blast while each getting 1-2 tattoos (pssst the house tat is killer). 1000% loved the experience and the attention to detail Dominic gave. This shop is absolutely worth your time, money, and skin.

Olivia was absolutely amazing. This was my first ever tattoo and she really ensured I was comfortable and assured me through out the whole tattoo, which was about 3 hours! I definitely plan on traveling back to see her despite the long drive from Florida!

Dominic did a phenomenal job with my tattoo and was very kind, generous, and professional with the design. Couldnt be happier and cant recommend Catahoula enough!

Dominic and JoJo were amazing! They welcomed my party of 3 and ensured we received what we wanted. They gave their professional opinions. The two of them work very well together And Dominic was very engaged to the work JoJo did. Great to see someone with so much experience pour into someone who growing their career. JoJo a beast with the Tatoo gun! I received a side Tatoo and it came out great. Coffee was great and I got a popsicle lol 😂

The service at Catahoula Tattoo was above and beyond! The shop is clean, the owner and artists are thorough with their sanitization, walking you through and showing you each sealed piece of equipment, etc. I was on vacation and chose to come here because the reviews were excellent and the work of the artists was exactly what I was looking for. If I ever find myself in NOLA again I will be back. Thanks Dominic and crew for a wonderful tattoo experience ❤️

I had a great time at catahoula tattoo. Dominic did a great job refreshing my very first tattoo. It was badly faded, and he whipped it up in no time and we had fun. Very professional and very covid-safe. They took my temperature and asked me a list of questions before we got started. Thanks yall! I hope to come back and play music in the parlor again real soon! xox

So glad i found this shop. Dom and Olivia made our experience amazing. the first night we were there to get our logo tattoo (188, as Dom calls me) there was amazing live music. went back the next day for my husbands tattoo and felt like i was just relaxing at home. i wasn’t planning to come back to NOLA, but we most likely will just to visit Dom and Olivia again.

Dominic was awesome! The whole tattoo experience was amazing and he sent us home with some of his personal artwork. PLUS I forgot my glasses there and he shipped them to me!! 10/10, highly recommend

Dominic was the coolest, tattoo came out great. Really couldnt ask for a better tattoo experience.

I found Olivia on Instagram (@floccnessmonster) and fell in love with her delicate, clean designs and set up a consult. She was wonderful to work with for my tattoo, especially because it was a very meaningful design for me—we ended up with a true collaboration and she was so thoughtful and fun to work with. She obviously puts a great deal of care into her art. Not only am I extremely happy with the result, but I also had a wonderful time throughout the whole process with her.

Dominic was the man! Great personality, clean and cool tattoo shop, made us feel comfortable since the moment we walked in. Would definitely recommend his work if you’re looking for a tattoo in New Orleans. Will be telling my friends about his shop. Thanks again Dom!- Joe and Bre

This place is genuinely GREAT!! Dominic was such great company and distracting from the tattoos soft spots. You can really tell tattooing was these workers passion. They were upbeat and positive and their portfolios were beautiful!! They also have a wonderful choice in music that plays in the shop. . They really make u feel like your in tue.comfort of your own home. LOVE them. I would really recommend this place before any tattoo parlor in New Orleans. :)

Dominic is the man, and hes created an amazing space in this shop. He took all precautions to make the experience safe, both in space and in mind. We worked together on the artwork, he poured me a cup of their (soon to be) famous coffee with me and shared many stories and laughs. Wonderful artwork and a class shop. Exactly the vibe you want if youre interested in getting beautiful art, welcoming company, a pretty good cup of coffee, and great conversation. Dont forget to check out the bathroom wall!

Dominic did absolutely wonderful with me and my boyfriends tattoos. He was kind enough to offer to fix a few small details in a previous tattoo for free, and he did amazing work with both of our tattoos. It was absolutely worth the drive from Texas, and we’ll be making it again soon to come here!!!

Cant say enough good things about the experience with Dom, Dakota, and my artist, known only as Big Sil. The folks in this place couldnt possibly be more inviting, talented, and entertaining. And yes, the coffee is great too. Looking forward to the next one at Catahoula!

Feels like home. Dom is a real artist running a real shop. Other places are fine if you want to walk in that day and walk out with something off the walls inked by a monkey with a needle. At Catahoula you get a work of art, crafted in front of you, and youre free to take however long you need to collaborate. Yes, you need to make an appointment, and yes you need to put down a deposit. But, youre serious about that tattoo, right? So this is the place. Come get inked by grownups!

Love love my tattoo and the whole experience. Dom the owner did mine but the other artist Olivia was there and they made me feel so welcome. I’m from out of town but will definitely stop by and get another next time I’m in town. Clean, sterile and follow all the covid protocols so you know you are safe. Wonderful experience !

Stopped in for their Halloween flash. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. Didnt have to wait very long, and there was coffee and water while we waited. Dakota, the artist that did my tattoo, was personable and professional and did a fantastic job. I love my little salt shaker!

I came in for a coverup consult, had an idea, and Olivia made it a reality. I am so happy I went here to get my tattoo. The atmosphere of the shop was welcoming and like no shop Ive been to. They focus on the quality of the work and not how fast they can get you out of there. The cover up I got done was the biggest Ive ever done. I was pretty nervous about how it was going to go, but Olivia walked me through everything she was doing and what she was going to do. I really felt like she cared and loved what she was doing, personally that is what sold me on my consult, and on the shop. I will most definitely go back to complete the rest of my sleeve, and for the rest of my tattoos in the future.

Great atmosphere.. Real down to earth people. Just received my first tattoo with Dominic. And Ill be coming back. It looks amazing, hes experienced and great at making people feel comfortable when theyre in the chair. Whether youre a local or just visiting, come by. You wont regret it.

Olivia made my first tattoo experience so enjoyable!! open communication through the whole process, and my grandmother’s hand lettering on my arm is incredible. def recommend! ✨

I had a great experience working with Dom at Catahoula Tattoo! I love the work he did. I let him get a little creative with a design that was admittedly somewhat out of his comfort zone. It was not a style of tattoo he usually does but he definitely knocked it out of the park and left me with something that makes me really happy. Every time I look at it, I have fond memories of New Orleans, French Quarter Fest, and the great live music they had there that night. I will definitely be back. Thanks so much!

I could not rave more about this place and the owner, Dom, who did tattoos for my best friend and I. We were visiting from out of town and I can honestly say, having at least 15 tattoos myself I have never had a more pleasant, comfortable, welcoming, INCREDIBLE experience than I did at Catahoula. Dom made us feel right at home and had so many anecdotes, advice, and laughs to share with us.I will send everyone I know who even passes remotely close through NOLA, to this tattoo shop!!!

Jojo was awesome! We did a group party and had five girls tattooed. She was patient with us when we picked our spots and was very diligent about cleaning and prep. And most importantly, our tattoos all turned out AWESOME!!

The service at Catahoula Tattoo was absolutely amazing. The workers and the environment was very welcoming and the work done by Dominic was exactly what I asked for. Big SIL was also so helpful and an amazing person!

Amazing work, amazing environment, amazing artist! The professionalism was absolutely first-rate. I 100% recommend. Dominic has a ton of experience and walks you through the process. He never got frustrated with my questions or adjustments and was focused on making sure it was something I would love forever. Thank you! Such a memorable experience!

Olivia was did a wonderful job on the tattoo I wanted. The quality is amazing and she was very fun and comfortable to work with. Highly recommend her as an artist and will definitely be getting some more work done. The shop is very cool and felt very clean and sanitary.

I went and got a tattoo on my birthday that my little brother drew for me and Dom did an AMAZING job. He copied the work just like my brother did it and made it come to life. The whole crew there is so kind and warm-hearted and welcoming from the moment you step into the shop. Olivia at the front is a sweetheart and Pauly does great work as well. They’re also taking COVID-19 precautions very seriously and doing everything they can to protect the safety of their customers. If you’re looking for a shop to get a tattoo this is it. Dom was the only person who’s ever shown me the type of needle and ink he was using and clarified everything I needed to know. Thank you guys!!!

My mom and I came here for our first ever tattoos, and Dominic, Dakota, and Big Syl were all SO amazing. They were thorough in making sure our designs were what we wanted, ensuring the longevity and quality of them, and making sure we were feeling welcome.

Not only did I receive a wonderful piece of art, I made two friends at the same time: Paul and Olivia. I cannot be more satisfied with my experience. Paul is incredibly talented with his art, and that is complimented by his professionalism and dedication to leaving his client satisfied. Thank you Paul. Olivia provides very good customer service and was a delight to chat with during the experience. Thank you Olivia. All in all, I would absolutely recommend Catahoula Tattoo.

I was tattooed by Dominic and he left me with no regrets. The tattoo overall was great and the service was excellent. Olivia (another tattoo artist) had great energy as well and made the place more comfortable. 5/5 I am definitely coming back again.

I got two tattoos from Catahoula by Dakota. The entire experience was so great! Dakota worked with me on what I wanted. They were so friendly and helpful too! & I love that they have female and non-binary artists!When I got to Catahoula, the staff was very receptive and kind. The space was super clean. & I felt so safe! There was care and attention given to all the details, which were explained to me every step of the way.14/10 would recommend going here.Hoping to sneak my wifey down to NOLA soon(ish) to get some matching tats at Catahoula by Olivia- who specializes in smol dainty designs.

Julie and Dominick at Catahoula are a delight! Such friendly people and the place has such character! The bathroom is wall-to-wall with comic books and the main area is a plethora of beautiful art, locally-based jewelry and a gorgeous vintage Wurlitzer. Julie did a fantastic job on my tattoos and I will definitely be coming back for one of their parties! Definitely recommend :)

Had my first tattoo and couldnt ask for a better experience. No pressure and went over everything to make sure I was ready for a tattoo. Dominic did an amazing job. I was looking for a dragon design but koi also. Dominic found a dragon koi. If you are looking for a tattoo artist and shop this is the place to go.

Wow! Not only am I in love with my tat, but I’m in love with the artists! They are super talented and warm people. Very easy going vibe, clean shop, and super knowledgable owner and artists. Got tatted by Olivia. She’s a line drawing dream. Dom, the owner, became and instant homie. I highly recommend this shop.

The staff of Catahoula Tattoo are the greatest folks of all time. I was really nervous because it was my first every tattoo and after my experience I simply refuse to get a tattoo anywhere else. My artist (and new best friend) was Dominic and not only did he give me a cool tattoo, but he talked to me throughout the tattooing to help distract me from the pain and keep my nerves down. The vibes of this tattoo parlor are immaculate, and if you are looking for a tattoo you gotta come here. Every single person who works here is 29/10, 24/7. Could not have asked for a better tattoo experience and I will definitely come here again!

Dom was amazing and quick. We were visiting on a convention. He had high ratings and you needed a deposit to book.

Dominic was so friendly, helpful, fun, and professional! My friend and I got matching tattoos and we love them so much 🥰 thank you!

Dom (the owner) specializes in making people happy. He truly has the biggest heart!!!! While he was working on me we had a dialogue going the entire time so he could make sure my tattoo was exactly how I wanted it. Not to mention, he’s a really active member of the community. In the short period of time that I was there a bunch of neighbors came to chat with him. The place is super cool, tons of awesome decorations. Definitely one of the best tattoo shops you could spend your money at. There’s so much soul in this place and that’s what Nola is all about. Not to mention their MAGICIAN, Lindsey, made my jaw drop! Awesome people, awesome shop, awesome vibe. Definitely will be back!

What a great experience I had working with Catahoula Tattoo! Not only were they able to adjust my appointment to fit my travel plan, but I also received a top notch tattoo. Free!I was on a road trip with my daughter from Florida to Texas. Plans changed and so did dates. Normally that would kill the thought of getting a tattoo to remember the trip. But Catahoula was willing and able to accommodate me. This is not my first tattoo by any means. But I was very impressed with their professionalism and health standards. The artist explained everything beforehand and allowed me to inspect that the needles were new and sealed prior to beginning.The tattoo was perfect and is healing awesome. Thanks again Catahoula! If you’re traveling to NOLA, this is the place for ink!

This shop has the best vibe. Little place with street parking, so plan for that. Dakota and Olivia are lovely humans. I havent met Dominic but Im sure hes great, too. I cant wait to go back!

In love with my Medusa tattoo from Dominic-- its perfect (and looks even better in person). He is extremely experienced and cares about his customers. The atmosphere of the whole place is warm and welcoming. Highly recommend!!

Dom and Olivia are some of the most kind and chill tattoo artists Ive ever had the pleasure of getting a tattoo from. The vibe is right. The art is right. I’m simply in love with them.

LOVE catahoula! Both of my experiences with Hayden & Olivia were great! They both made sure that my tattoo was exactly what I wanted and I felt so comfortable like if I had known them for years. Definitely returning.

Professional yet still felt like family. Dominic answered all my questions in a very honest way, and his experience really improved the final product. Love the energy of the shop. I was here during COVID, and they were very clean and safe. Wish I got to experience them at full capacity with live music and all, but I got to play my own tunes which was nice. I highly recommend this shop, and it is especially important to support local businesses these days, so that makes me feel even better.

Such a great experience for my first tattoo!! Found Olivia (@floccnessmonster) on Instagram and she was great to work with from the start...and very reasonably priced! Sent her a few sketches of what we were thinking about and she helped take our ideas and make it into the perfect design. If you’re looking for fineline or lettering, she’s a pro. Wish I lived there so I could have her do my next one!

Dominic did a wonderful job on my first tattoo. They have a welcoming and friendly staff. Worked with initial ideas and budget.100% recommend.

Dominic and Olivia are 5 star hosts. Dominic gave me and my girlfriend a logo tat to commemorate our second NOLA trip together. 10/10 would recommend. Passes the vibe check, as the kids say.

Love this shop! I wanted something specific and Olivia was super easy to work with. She did an amazing job on my tattoo! Everyone at the shop was super friendly. I will definitely be going back when I decide what my next tattoo will be!

I had the absolute best experience here. As someone with social anxiety (on top of being nervous with getting a tattoo) I felt so welcomed and comfortable by everyone. Flocco did an awesome job, and I will definitely be coming back (and recommending her to everyone I know).

Amazing experience, amazing people, and amazing work! Olivia did my small hummingbird tattoos perfectly and I couldn’t be any happier! Highly recommend Catahoula Tattoo!!!!!

Wonderful experience today! Clean, professional service, and great customer care! Impressive and talented artists.

I know where I’ll go for a tattoo from now on! That’s Catahoula. The best thing about it is how it feels like being in your living room. Everyone is friendly, having a great time, and making you feel comfy. Extra points for having their own blend of coffee and tattoo aftercare. I love the whole team. I’m a regular now

Beautiful tattoo! The owner is a wonderful man who loves his craft and supports local live music by giving all us musicians a space in which to perform. Great atmosphere. Treated me like family the second I walked through the door! This is my new tattoo place! Go show them some love bc they will give it right back 10 fold! Absolutely perfect tattoo!

The staff was helpful, friendly, and extremely accommodating. The shop is clean comfortable and all of the equipment was sterile. The tattoo looks fantastic and everyone went above and beyond to deliver a great experience. I would highly recommend them to everyone and I will for sure be coming back. Perfect scores across the board.

Dominic Sgro is very personable, down to Earth, and a true artist (thats important!). I Love my tattoo, it turned out great, and really I didnt want to leave. I would advise all true tattoo fanatics to get work done here.

I recently got a tattoo from this gallery, and this place is different. Dom, who runs the shop, obviously cares about his business. He loves the neighborhood and is clearly dedicated to building relationships with his neighbors. People walking by often stopped in just to say hi. The feel of the gallery is different from other spots. It feels like a locals parlor.There was a live band! Dom obviously wants to set a vibe. Having a trio play some chill music definitely made a customers day. He was getting a painful back tattoo but he said that having a band there made his experience SO MUCH BETTER. Ive never seen a band in a tattoo parlor before, but I hope thats the new thing.I have about 15 tattoos but this is the FIRST time the artist wanted to make it very clear all of the precautions he was taking to make the tattoo safe and clean. He showed me his tools, the needles he was going to use, and he hung chains up to block off sections of the store- he obviously cares that this is done RIGHT.When selecting my image, he listened to what I wanted but gave feedback on what would be the best design and image. Im thrilled with the professionalism of the experience. The tattoo looks sick. He was concerned about the pain of the tattoo and was attentive. The place was clean and well run. Live band. Neighborhood vibe. Positive energy. One thing that sticks out- more than once, I heard Dom tell someone: Tell people what you saw here today. I think hes going for something special and he knows that its having an effect on the people that see it. If youre about to get a tattoo, consider going down and talking to Dom at Catahoula Tattoo. I cant wait to go back.

I got a tattoo I wasnt even planning on, because from the moment I started describing what I wanted Dominic nailed and it had it exactly as I had pictured it. Not only is my tattoo something I treasure, but I also feel in love with his art as well. Its proudly displayed in my University office and continues to be a topic of admiration. Even though we had just met, I felt like I had known him forever and had made a cherished friend. I will make the 6 hour flight from South Carolina just to have him do my next tattoo!

Dominic and his team are extremely professional. He made myself and my 3 friends feel welcomed and safe! The quality of art is exceptional and we are very please with the results! Thank you Dominic &team. We’ll be back soon!

I’ve been getting tattooed by the owner for well over a decade all over the country. Great person, amazing skills and customer service. Very happy he is opening this gallery/lounge and I’m sure he will impact New Orleans in an amazing way. Congrats Dom! You’re going to do amazing in NOLA.

Over all great place, clean and very professional. In had a great time while I was there. Olivia did a great job on my last two tattoos. Very satisfied with the work she did. I will definitely be back.

Dom did my tattoo. He is warm, welcoming, funny, and super talented. The shop has a relaxing vibe and you definitely feel heard and that your input is valued. Highly recommend!

Love it here, love working with Olivia, love my tattoo. We really took our time and communicated, and I couldn’t be more grateful. It’s a beautiful piece! Find them on insta @catahoulatattoo

Hayden was awesome!!! I LOVE my new sternum piece! She was so sweet and helped talk me through the whole thing! She’s so creative and helped me design something original and just for me! Will definitely be going back to see her!

Paul did an amazing job on both of my tattoos, and his and Doms input on my tattoos were spot on (we created synergy and found the perfect location for one of my tattoos!). He put my ideas into the perfect tattoos, and I could not recommend him more!

Best tattoo spot in town with very reasonable prices! Olivia and Dom are both awesome, very personable and will make you feel right at home! Highly recommended.

Dominic is an amazing artist! He does amazing work and is the nicest person! He made me feel like family. I am definitely going back for more of his excellent artwork!!!

Proprietor gave us the most welcoming, at-home experience when my wife and I booked an appointment during our anniversary vacation - couldnt have been happier with the service, the atmosphere, and most importantly the quality of the artwork!

Mr. Domonic is Awesome!!! He was so patient with me through my whole process. I walked out of there today with 3 amazing Tatts and mind you I have low low tolerance for pain🤣🤣He was even shocked!! My tatts are beautiful!!! Thanks Again I know I will be back🥰

OMGOSH I AM SO HAPPY WITH MY TATTOO! Everyone is so friendly, kind, and welcoming. If you are even SLIGHTLY thinking about getting your tattoo here, GET IT! (I got my tat from Dominic) 1000000/10

Professional, friendly and caring staff. Dominic was perfectly prepared and did a great job with the design I envisioned, along with a really good conversation. Very enjoyable experience overall.

I got a small cross tattoo by silvia. she did amazing. she was so sweet, very thorough, and very clean. 100% recommend

Dominic was so kind & professional!Took great care of us and tattooed with care, precision, & Covid safety in mind. Will be a returning customer.THANK YOU!

Highly recommend this shop! Paul did an amazing job on my tattoo. He listened to my idea and went above and beyond. Absolutely love the work he did. Everyone in the shop was super friendly. Great vibes all around.

Very detailed and knowledgeable artist. The entire experience was amazing. The shop is not your typical tattoo parlor. Instead the entire process is a delightful experience. The owner even gave my wife and I a ride home! If you’re in NOLA come here!

This tattoo was so important to me and I wouldn’t have had any other artist do it! Dom is so skilled and passionate about what he does and it shows! Wether you are from out of town or a local, don’t miss out. This place is a gem to New Orleans! I can’t rave enough about it!

I love this place! Its so cozy and welcoming.Dom did a great job on my tattoo! Worked very quick, had a light hand, and was very kind!

The shop is clean and the coffee is great. The artists are wonderful and transparent about the process. The folks here are patient and thoughtful about making sure youre comfortable. I cant wait to come back again.

Owner of the shop is fantastic, friendly, knowledgeable and talented artist! Olivia is a sweetheart. I will be making this my regular shop! They dont sell tattoos....this is a top shelf studio.

Dom is the truth! Got my first ink here and he’s a total pro. Easy to talk design with and a fast and precise artist.

Awesome artist! I have a number of Dominics original pieces hanging on my walls: simplistic yet elegant New Orleans... If I wanted a tattoo, he would be my first choice as well.

I had a great time at Catahoula Tattoo for my last day in nola. A great team with pretty good artists!

If you’re in New Orleans and want a legitimate and friendly tattoo shop, this is the place to go!!! Absolutely. Love my tattoo and the experience is that of a lifetime. 🖤

Refreshing to have a tattoo artist show so much concern and care to ensure your happiness with their work. Highly recommend and will be going back. Relaxing vibe, talented artist, reasonable price!

Dominic is the best artist and tattooist in town, I am headed to get my next tattoo from him and I am traveling 1300 miles to do it because he’s the only guy I trust! This will be my fifth one done by Dominic.

Dominic was awesome! He was very thorough with instructions and what he was using. Very clean and sanitary! Mother daughter trip to New Orleans memory forever! Thank you so much

Mr. Dominic was awesome, the atmosphere was great. This was my very first tattoo and it was worth every penny, the experience was quality!

Our artists, Dominic and Dakota, were incredibly friendly, funny, and talented. The shop has a very approachable vibe. Cannot recommend enough.

Couldnt have been a more pleasurable experience. Dom and the team are so nice, open minded, and creative and worked to get the tattoo where I was beyond happy with it

Thank you Veronica for the amazing tattoo!! Coming back for more in the future.

Dominic was hilarious and incredibly welcoming. He was very professional and took great care in his work. Highly recommend!

The more live music the better,if you can perform; play at the shop this weekend. This intimate atmosphere is made for building community and recieving quality tattoos from a pro artist. Im just learning from the best.

Shout out to my girl Sylvia! Awesome job on my logo tattoo (#367)! I’ll be back for more ❤️

Jojo did amazing work for our group! The experience was relaxing and fun. Highly recommend!

Dominic completely transformed a tattoo I’ve been ashamed about. I just want to thank him from the bottom of my heart for making my dream come true, and for making me feel right at home.

Dominic is talented and professional, got what I wanted with some piano accompaniment and it was done cleanly and efficiently.Definitely hope to make it back for more.

I had an amazing experience! Everyone was so friendly, it was a comfortable experience, and my tattoo came out perfect. Highly recommend.
