I have never had anything but a pleasant experience at Imperial Tattoo, and I have been there more times than I can count since 2009. I've had multiple piercings done there, all of my tattoos done there, and I've brought many friends there. I recommend this place to everyone and they are always extremely satisfied. Ryan has done all but one of my fourteen tattoos, and Joey has done a tiny one on me and I've seen the great tattoos he's done on my brother and friends. Ryan is so great at what he does- not only am I in love with my tattoos, but I get compliments ALL of the time from old ladies to biker dudes and everyone in between. The shop is always extremely clean and I've always felt really appreciated as a customer. Unlike some other tattoo shops in the greater New Orleans area, Imperial Tattoo is NOT a tourist trap. You can come here and expect to get a fair price for beautiful, detail-oriented work. Imperial Tattoo takes tattooing seriously- if you're looking for low-quality scratchers, go elsewhere. Ryan is extremely versatile- he always helps me bring my ideas to life, and everything from larger, colorful pieces to tiny black lettering comes out exactly how I wanted. Sean is the body piercer and he's awesome too. He's always extremely clean and gentle, and you can see that he really knows what he's doing. If you want something new but aren't sure what you want, ask him! He's full of helpful ideas and suggestions regarding piercings and jewelry. All of the staff are professional and easy to talk to. No one is going to dick you around or waste your time. Ryan's wife Cheri is usually who answers when I call to make appointments and she always goes above and beyond customer service. I always look forward to seeing everyone when I go in. I'll definitely keep coming back for all of my tattoos and piercings.
Review Source:joe A and ryan at imperial tattoo...if your not from "da parish," which i am not, its worth taking a lil ride out to chalmette and meet these guys and see what you can get done. when people think about tattoo shops, alot of ppl think that all the good ones are in down town new orleans, or on magazine st...there are some really good ones there...but let me tell you. i got 2 tattoos from here with joe A. and he is really nice and so talented. the prices are comparable to others, and maybe even a little better...but ask yourself this,...is a tattoo, something that last forever, really something that u want to get a bargain deal on? remember that u get what you pay for. quality and experience are key to good service, and this place got my vote on my favorite tattoo shop. i have been waiting for years to get a tattoo that is visible (arm sleeve) and i finally found a guy (joe A) who i can relate to, has a great personality, and is one hell of a tattoo artist. the rest of the staff is very kind, and can hold a conversation with customers, unlike some of the other premadona tattoo artist who act like celebrities with a cocky attitude. this place gets all the stars, Â since i wounldnt plan on going to anyone eles for ink.
