Electric Ladyland Tattoo in New Orleans

Overpriced & Disappointing Experience – Beware of $300 Tourist Pricing! ⚠️ I recently visited Electric Ladyland Tattoo in New Orleans, and while I like my tattoo, I walked away feeling completely taken advantage of as a customer. I paid $300 for two small tattoos. If you’re a tourist, BEWARE! If you’re considering getting a tattoo here, read this before you book a small tattoo or ear tattoo! This is a business as in not independent artist. These are employees who get paid hourly and have health insurance, the owner pays for all there taxes ect. The artist told me. I do think there should be a sort of guide line you actually stick to for employees. 1️⃣ False Promises & Bait-and-Switch- When I first walked in at noon, I specifically asked for an artist who specializes in small, detailed ear tattoos. The receptionist told me that Kallie or Chloe could do the job. I was told I could chat with an artist at 7 PM, or leave a $65 deposit, and expect a tattoo once talked about. While cost would be around $120 total (ear jewelry tattoo + small charm). This was a complete lie. And The shop charge starts at $80 fyi. Throughout the day, the shop kept texting me for ideas, so I assumed they were preparing. And I sent them over. But when I returned at 7pm, to start. I was left waiting and waiting—no explanation. Finally, another artist, Hank, approached me around 815 pm and said she would take over for the other artist to talk about the project. No one ever explained to why my original artist bailed on me. 2️⃣ Unprepared & Lacking Skill for Ear Tattoos- I wanted a dainty jewelry-style ear tattoo cuz, I wear hearing aids and can’t wear earrings. Hank said she’s done ear tattoos before, and only wanted to use stencils instead of doing freehand designs. Which I told her I was open to creativity designs. And downplayed freehand work. She also talked me out of color, insisting it would fade—even though I have many many color tattoos that have healed perfectly fine. The worst part? A simple design of dots and lines took her awhile to figure out on her smart tablet. I was there from 8:45 PM tattooing to almost midnight, and most of that time was spent on the ear tattoo—even though the small charm on my arm took only 20 minutes! 3️⃣ Poor Execution – Had to Keep Asking for It to Be Visible- When she finally tattooed my ear, it was so light I could barely see it. I had to ask 2-4 times for her to make it darker and more noticeable. She didn’t even finish all the dots on my lobe. It felt like she was hesitant and unsure the entire time. Arm charm: Simple, took only 20 minutes, yet was included in the outrageous $300 charge. 4️⃣ OVERPRICED – TOURIST TRAP PRICING- Now, here’s the real kicker. I was charged $300 for these tiny tattoos! Ear tattoo: Basic dots & lines. Small arm charm Mouse ears, (quarter-sized, simple design): Took only 20 minutes. It was clear that this shop prefers big tattoos. They kept trying to pressure my friends into making their tattoos bigger and more expensive. My friend got a 2”x3” tattoo for $200. Earlier that day one got a 3”x5” tattoo for $215. My tattoos were WAY smaller. 🚨 FINAL WARNING: THINK TWICE BEFORE COMING HERE 🚨 ✅ If you want a large tattoo, you might have a decent experience. ⛔ If you want small, detailed, or ear tattoos, go somewhere else! ⛔ If you want fair pricing, this isn’t the place. I think, They upcharge tourists and push for bigger tattoos. I left feeling ripped off and disappointed. Yes, I like my tattoo, but it should have cost MAX $100-$160, not $300. The experience was disorganized, overpriced, and the artist may have lacked experience. 👎 2/5 Stars – Only because the artist was nice, but that doesn’t justify the price or experience.

I would like to include 2 separate experiences in my review. My best friend and I wanted to get a sun and moon tattoo. First, I was tattooed by Devin. She was fantastic, 5/5! She listened to exactly what I wanted and worked with me to get my perfect design. I received the sun tattoo. The stencil was perfect and the tattoo was perfect. My best friend had the worst experience, she received the moon tattoo. She was tattood by Mike, 1/5. He did not shave the area where the tattoo was supposed to go (mine was), messed up the tattoo (you can see in the photo with the stencil vs product, and added shading when we specifically asked for no shading and didn’t say he added shading until the end) and blamed his poor eye sight on messing up the tattoo. If you have poor eye sight, why are you still doing tattoos? And he did not apologize for anything at any point even when my friend was crying. Would definitely not recommend Mike, he ruined the entire experience for us. Thankfully we received a refund for the tattoo & Devin came in and saved my best friend’s tattoo by fixing up as much as she could (photo with filled in moon). Yes she did a great coverup/fix, but we were disappointed that it was not what we had originally planned for. This was a permanent decision and it was unfortunately a poor mistake to have Mike tattoo my friend. Price $100–150 Services Tattoos Requested style Fine line, no shading Stylist Devin 5/5 Mike 1/5

I went to this place over the weekend and got tattooed by Josh I believe was his name…. Was the worst tattoo I’ve ever received and by far the worst experience. I have 30+ tattoos. After he gets done butchering my arm, he proceeds to clean my fresh tattoo that he clearly tattooed too deep - with alcohol. This all but gave me a chemical burn under the second skin. Super heavy handed. Blow outs everywhere to the point where the skin surrounding the ink has absorbed ink. This cost 200$. The place itself is nice,really nice people that work there. Just was not happy with the tattoo artist that did my work. Price $200–250 Services Tattoos

Shop was supposed to close at 10pm we walked in probably like 10:05pm and they still decided to take us. My friend and I got trumpet tattoos, fine line/single line style. Service was great! Josh was both of our artists and he got our tattoos done in like 30mins. I’m about 4 days out and it’s healing nicely. My first ever tattoo and I don’t regret it! In fact I’ve been inspired to start a half sleeve now lmao Price $100–150 Services Tattoos

Michael helped me at the front and was super helpful, took as much time as I needed to find a design and never tried to rush me or make me feel like a burden. Dwight was my artist and he was super nice and patient when I wanted the stencil moved, had a good energy and was funny. This crew made getting a tattoo super comfortable and enjoyable, definitely coming back next time I’m in NOLA. Tattoo was cheap too, only $100. Price $50–100 Services Tattoo design, Tattoos

I recently got a tattoo, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish! The staff was friendly, professional, and made me feel completely at ease. What stood out most was Michael's customer service skills, patience and willingness to go above and beyond. As a business owner, Michael is someone I would love to have on my team! The studio was spotless, with a relaxed, comfortable vibe that made the whole process enjoyable. The tattoo itself turned out flawless! Aftercare instructions were clear, and I've had no issues with healing. Highly recommend to anyone looking for top-notch artistry and a great experience!

Devin created a beautiful piece of permanent artwork on me and I love it. The shop has a mellow vibe, and everybody seemed in a cheerful mood. They worked with me on the art to get things just right, and I was especially impressed with Devin's attention to detail and genuine concern that I was happy with the process, and as comfortable as possible. This was my second ever, and had a more specific personal meaning (1st was just for fun). I'll love the work for the rest of my days. Price $150–200 Services Tattoo design, Tattoos

My wife and I came to Nola for the Eras tour and she decided she wanted to get a tattoo. She has plenty but I did not have any. We went to Electric Lady Landing and came away super impressed. They got us in the same day and I had Marc as my artist. My tattoo looks amazing. They are clean and incredibly friendly. My wife had Devin and got two tattoos and they are stunning. 10/10 would go there again. Services Tattoos
