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!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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 doesn't 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 didn't 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 didn't 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 couldn't 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 didn't 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.

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! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

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!!

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.
