Joel and Molly run a very fabulous tattoo shop. Me and my boyfriend think that Joel is definitely in the correct place for his work and creativity to flow. If you like tattoos you must go! Also grab a goodie bag and a coffee at the coffee shop next door to have the best day ever, be back soon
I was in town visit for a family wedding, and happened to come across Joel’s shop through search. I’m so glad I did! I love finding new artists when I travel, and Joel perfectly executed my idea with his own unique style and twist, I love it!The shop is also beautiful, and very clean. Joel really ensures your comfort through the whole process, which I love in an artist. Whether you’re a local or traveler, I absolutely recommend this shop. I can only hope I’ll be back soon to get a full color van goor specialty in the future!
We won a coupon for $100 off a tattoo at Lucky Lucy’s Burlesque Bingo! Joel, or Gentle Joel as he’s called, was professional, prompt and an all around class act. The shop was clean and inviting. He was informative and accommodating!! …and best of all he’s from MARYLAND and a huge Anwan Glover (Big G) and BackYard Band Fan!! When in town, look him up and get you a real masterpiece?
Joel has done two tattoos on me and both of them are amazing! They have both healed amazingly and still look as good as they did day one! Joel is a great tattoo artist and makes the experience as comfortable as possible. Cannot recommend him enough!
Ive been getting tattooed by Joel Van Goor since 2008 and every single time leave with a smile on my face and a beautiful tattoo!I got my 3rd septum piercing (I hope my last) by his partner Molly recently and I was and am amazed by the quality of jewelry and professionalism.They are both amazing and professional in every way!
Joel and Molly have created a wonderful studio. I scheduled a tattoo with Joel before visiting New Orleans from out of state. It was a very smooth booking process.Joel is extremely talented and professional. I look forward to booking with both Joel and Molly again in the future.
Joel was great! Very accommodating, great communication, professional, listened to what I wanted, and ensured a smooth and comfortable experience. Over the span of a few sessions he transformed an outline ( a piece started by a different artist 5 yrs ago) and turned it into the piece I had envisioned it would be!
I first got a tattoo from Joel back in 2015 and he’s been my favorite artist since. I now have 4 pieces by him all of which have healed beautifully and holding their lines and color. Look forward to getting more work from him soon.
Joel did a fantastic custom tattoo for me and Molly’s selection of jewelry made me have to come back to visit for shopping and a piercing. The shop is conveniently located, clean, and cheery! Definitely recommend stopping by either for locals or visitors.
My husband and I have had several tattoos done by Joel Van Goor. He is incredibly personable while maintaining professionalism and a very organized and clean environment. We were so impressed with his art, and appreciated his suggestions as well as his openness to our requests. I have sent family and friends to him as well over the years, and all have been pleased with their experiences
I commissioned Joel to do a mural/logo for my daughters birthday party - gave him an idea of what I wanted and he knocked it out of the park (as I hope you can see from the photo). Highly recommend his work.
I LOVE my new piercing and my husbands new tattoo is FABULOUS! Joel and Molly are pros, their shop is clean and fun❣️
Joel went above, and beyond for me designing this resplendent quetzal to memorialize my late mother who was from Guatemala. It’s beautiful, hasn’t faded a bit, and is by far my favorite tattoo.
Joel did an amazing job on my milkshake tattoo. The detail and colors are perfect. Highly recommend!
