Reviews of Catahoula Tattoo ️

Leah Frazier

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! 💛

Carley Maturin

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, can't wait to meet you chick! Strongly suggest Catahoula Tattoo if you are a first timer.

Windsor Adcox

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!!)

Jennifer Venable-Humphrey

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.

Dominique Bryant

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!

The Banker's

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 can't wait to come here to see them again. Trust me. Book your next tattoo here.

Juliana Morris

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!

Maggie L

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!

Jessica Baldwin

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.

Noah Samors

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!

Andrea Aguilar

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.

Donna Westcott

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 ❤️

Jasmine Tudor

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!

Dr. Alexandra Hebert

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 won't 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! Y'all killed it! Our first experience but it won't be the last. If you are considering booking, you found the right place.

Gabbie Gros

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!

Megan Stucko

Stopped in for their Halloween flash. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. Didn't 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!

Jennifer Bradley

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.

Fanny Paz

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! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Savy Varyu

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!!

Angie Banos-Navas

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!

Zach Arth

Can't say enough good things about the experience with Dom, Dakota, and my artist, known only as Big Sil. The folks in this place couldn't possibly be more inviting, talented, and entertaining. And yes, the coffee is great too. Looking forward to the next one at Catahoula!

Hannah Warren

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.

Casandra Corrales

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.

Joel Fogel

Had my first tattoo and couldn't 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.

Kate Rainer

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

Francesca Sills

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 you're comfortable. I can't wait to come back again.

Kelly Constance

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

Sarah Early

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!

Hannah Richter

What an incredible experience start to finish! I had never booked a tattoo in advance with a specific artist before and I'm SO glad I found Olivia. She's attentive, easy-going, and as brilliant as she is accommodating. 11/10 experience and I'm 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!

Alexandra Nordman-Becker

Catahoula tattoos is a magical place! My artist Olivia made me feel so comfortable and gave me my favorite tattoo I've 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 I've made this year!

Hali

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.

Sarah Ogden

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!

Ian Molinaro-Thompson

Couldn't 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

Brigid OHearn

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

Silvia Sanchez

absolutely the best placed i’ve ever been tattooed!! they’re all so inviting and kind. it’s such a good place to spend your time even if you aren’t getting tattooed lol

Grace Jessop

Dominic cares about his shop, his art, and everyone who walks through the door (you've 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 you'll 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 you're looking for beautiful art, good live music or your next tattoo, Catahoula Tattoo & Gallery has it all.

Stevie Rae Thul

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. 🖤 …

Patricia Paris

Great atmosphere, very hygienic. Dominic and his team are talented, dedicated, and so much fun.

Ryan Westcott

Proprietor gave us the most welcoming, at-home experience when my wife and I booked an appointment during our anniversary vacation - couldn't have been happier with the service, the atmosphere, and most importantly the quality of the artwork!

Alyssa Gonzales

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.

Tori Varyu

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

Cat Krilov

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 you're 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, you're serious about that tattoo, right? So this is the place. Come get inked by grownups!

Elias Garza

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

Evan Cole

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 that's 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. I'll definitely be going back for my next piece! I can't recommend this place enough!

dogills

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

Ellen Solera

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 we'll both be going back for more!

Robin Gardner

A welcoming shop - which you don't find often for tattoo shops. Quality work,and will go back for more!

Ratish Chadha

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.

Stacy Yanofsky

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.

Anamarys Perez

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.

Elizabeth Brock

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. We'll most definitely come back to visit Dominic for my next tattoo!! He is worth the 13 hour drive!!! Thank you so much Dominic!

Jennifer Lindquist

My 18 yr old daughter and I came here for what was each of our's 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!

Zion B

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.

Samantha Magaw

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

Amber S

This shop has the best vibe. Little place with street parking, so plan for that. Dakota and Olivia are lovely humans. I haven't met Dominic but I'm sure he's great, too. I can't wait to go back!

Lexi Peterson

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 💕

Annika Cline Videography

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).

Jasmine Ballard

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.

Amy Moreland

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 !

Miranda Howard

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

Rosie Beach

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 I've 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 I've 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.

lourdes ballesteros

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!!!

Joe Ianniello

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

Taylor Kenney

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.

Sarah Alam

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!!!

Micaela Allen

This is an awesome place to get a tattoo! This was my first one and the staff was very welcoming and warm. I would highly recommend!

Lise Pinto

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!

Edward

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.

Logan Griffiths

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.

Stoke

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

Sydney Thomas

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!

Maxwell Leonhardt

Dominic is the man, and he's 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 you're interested in getting beautiful art, welcoming company, a "pretty good" cup of coffee, and great conversation. Don't forget to check out the bathroom wall!

Madelyn Matute'

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.

Layla Sutton

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

Jenavieve Cooke Kachmarik

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

Lorelei Wilkey

In love with my Medusa tattoo from Dominic-- it's 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!!

chill chartz Latham

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. :)

Dani Fiore

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!

C Ryan (cbfryan)

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!

Mischief Tools Music

Great atmosphere.. Real down to earth people. Just received my first tattoo with Dominic. And I'll be coming back. It looks amazing, hes experienced and great at making people feel comfortable when they're in the chair. Whether you're a local or just visiting, come by. You won't regret it.

Jeff Miazga

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!

Josalyn Santangelo

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 :)

Destiny Karash-Givens

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!!!

Ian Good

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.

Palmer Montalbano

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.

Javier Lucas

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.

Emily Heiser

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!

Jordan Leigh

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!

Erin Aguillard

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.

Cynthia Amezcua

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!

Julia Johnston

Got my tattoo from Olivia and I absolutely love it! Great environment, Olivia and Dom are the best!

Ally Palanzi

Friendly place!! Olivia is a great fine line artist. Got a simple piece from her. Great price too!

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!

C. Warren Dale

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

Life of Black Pearl

Dominic Sgro is very personable, down to Earth, and a true artist (that's important!). I Love my tattoo, it turned out great, and really I didn't want to leave. I would advise all true tattoo fanatics to get work done here.

New Orleans Wildlife Band

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 customer's day. He was getting a painful back tattoo but he said that having a band there made his experience SO MUCH BETTER. I've never seen a band in a tattoo parlor before, but I hope that's 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. I'm 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 he's going for something special and he knows that it's having an effect on the people that see it. If you're about to get a tattoo, consider going down and talking to Dom at Catahoula Tattoo. I can't wait to go back.

Louise Jacks

Dom did an awesome job on this piece and I love it so much!!

Abby Smith

Paul did an amazing job on both of my tattoos, and his and Dom's 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!

Pål marius olsen

Genuine tattoo shop! True to its style and love for the art ❤️

Anna Oswald

I got a tattoo I wasn't 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. It's 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!

Trice Carter

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🥰 …

Ghost Queen

Owner of the shop is fantastic, friendly, knowledgeable and talented artist! Olivia is a sweetheart. I will be making this my regular shop! They don't sell tattoos....this is a top shelf studio.

Aaron Miller

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.

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!

Andrew Merker

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.

Tylar Avery

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. I'm just learning from the best.

Marisabel Rodriguez

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!

Dan Eastwood

First tattoo and a hard decision, but a great experience and result!

THE GREATEST

Tessa Tudor

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!

Matthew Parks

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.

Jeff Dorio

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 can't recommend this place enough. We will absolutely be back to see Dominic and Sill for another tattoo. Simply wonderful people.
