The Downtown Tattoos Story
Downtown Tattoos & Piercings opened its doors to Frenchmen Street in June of 2012. The shop is owned by Terry Brown, a seasoned artist that has over 20 years of experience tattooing all across the country, along with his lovely wife Hayley Waldner.
Besides sharing a passion for tattoo, Terry and Hayley are entrepreneurs at heart, and they jumped at the chance to create the optimal tattoo experience when the corner space on Frenchmen St. became available. In Downtown Tattoos, Hayley and Terry have created an atmosphere that makes one feel as though the shop has been around forever. They are heavily involved with their community, and they love to hold fun events to help them connect with and contribute to the people and causes around them.
I’d give this shop 100 stars if you’d let me. Whole experience was flawless. Dylan is amazing. I have a lot of tattoos and his touch is superior. He did my large shin piece in 1.5 hours. Like cmon! Dude is fast and flawless. The staff was so kinda and warm, you can tell they all really gel and work as a team, kudos to the whole gang. I’m in LOVE with this piece, it was born out of a really hard season and it was beautiful to hurt one more time and be left with something so beautiful to heal. ❤️🩹 i can’t thank you enough Dylan, seriously. Thank you. I’ll be back for that cardinal❣️

This tattoo shop is one of the best I’ve ever been to. Staff is great and the vibes are just it! I had one of the best walk-in experiences with Henry. I showed him an idea of what I wanted and he started to freehand the idea and made it come to life. Henry loves what he does and it shows!

I am visiting NOLA for a work event. Stopped in for tattoos. They are so friendly, inviting, and accommodating for our group. Shout out to Jason! He’s awesome and relatable. He made the experience worth it!
