    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.

    This tattoo shop is very awesome. All of the artist have great portfolios and are super nice. All of the employees are super knowledgeable and helpful. It is a clean shop, great flash, and super cool vibe. If you are planning on getting a tattoo in this city I would definitely go to UPTOWN TATTOOS. Terry Brown, Dave Nollert, Dave Hood, Billy Bracey, & Lad are all fantastic artist......
    And remember "good work ain't cheap and cheap work ain't good"

    I am new to New Orleans, and had gotten all my previous tattoos done in NYC. Someone recommended I go to Uptown Tattoos...and I am SO GLAD I DID! Kenny was a guest artist..and he was AMAZING. I got my last name written on my ribs and was worried because words are more difficult due to the straight lines. Straight lines on ribs and curves is no easy task. Kenny could not have done a better job!!! He was ready for me when i got there...and made it a great experience. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone!

    Best place in town, one of only a few I fully trust with my body and what is permanently added to it. Owner/artist Dave Noellert started work on a cover job from a poor choice many years ago, a very large poor choice with colors and design that I doubted anyone could do anything with (think neon dragon). Mr. Noellert spent an hour with me discussing interest and ideas, going through his art, etc, until we got a vibe, then he designed a custom piece for me that never fails to grab lot of attention and we are only half way done! I can be somewhat cavalier with my food, but a tattoo shop could be a last memory or a lifetime of hepatitis C. UPT made a point of showing me their procedures and equipment before hand and didn't take offence when asked. Also showed ink without issue so I was assured no Chinese made industrial ink with who knows what was being used. In the end I placed my trust and have been (and hope to continue to be) well rewarded with more great work/memories. Also, the shop has a barbeque and music on occasion, really very friendly people. I saw the  oe star from Megan, so I looked at her profile, and maybe she was treated with a cold shoulder, probably less to do with her being a first timer, than her choice of posted items like confederate flag and lyndard synard. That is purely conjecture, even the best places have down days, but this is your skin, own it, research, but looking over some profiles I have no doubt I would take no interest (and garner 1 star reviews) from some people whose patronage one could do without.

    I gets my shit done here.

    Talk to the clerk at the desk, fill out your form, figure out wtf you want, go grab a few drinks at Cooter Browns next door to calm yourself down and come get your ink.
    I'm still in the process of finishing my back piece from here. So many long hours of laying still, I learned to bring a pillow.. sometimes a blanket to cover up in.
    All the staff are very well experienced. Store is very clean and everyone is helpful. They will work with what you want..

    CASH ONLY

    Some friends and I hit NOLA for a ladies weekend and all wanted to get tattoos. This was my first one, so I was a little nervous.   Went into Uptown and immediately liked them.  The store is clean and bright, and everyone was helpful.  Chris did all 3 tattoos for us, and all 3 of us love them. Great tattoos from a great shop.
