Uptown Tattoos

EXCELLENT! I got my first tattoo-my sister her second. Both were GPS coordinates, mine on my chest and her's on her foot. The artist, hood, was awesome. Very nice, funny, and helped me get through it. Would ABSOLUTELY go back for my next one!!

Lad has been my go-to guy for a while now. I've followed him to whatever shop he's working at...
Can't wait to get more ink from him soon.

So, the story is...
I had a large tribal back piece that was a beautiful design, but a really poor execution and I wanted it fixed. Heard that Eye Candy on Magazine was supposed to be one of the best, so went to talk to them.
The owner gave me a pile of attitude, didn't want to do it because he found "tribal boring", but recommended me to Dave Noellert at Uptown.
Thank you asshole tattoo guy!
Because Dave is made of unicorns covered in awesome sauce! Dave probably thanks you too, because we loved him and his work so much, my boyfriend at the time and I spent a substantial amount of money there.

He fixed my back piece, put a full sleeve of gorgeous Japanese on my right arm, a half sleeve of Northwest Indian design on my left, put another Japanese sleeve on my boyfriend at the time, and turned his already existing tribal on the other arm into a full sleeve.
And it's all aged beautifully.
If I still lived in NOLA, I'd still be going there. Alas, I moved away. But I'd recommend anyone who wants ink in or near that city to go to Uptown.
Super friendly, competitive pricing, and SERIOUS talent.

I loved these guys so much I started cooking them meals whenever I  came in. That's some love, right there.
