TatScout's findings

Fourteen years in and 174 reviews at 4.9 stars: Slangin Dat Ink 1 isn't coasting on local reputation. The studio's focus on minimalist and realism work signals artists who've invested in technical discipline-two styles that show technique immediately and hide nothing. No walk-ins policy is a marker of intentionality, not gatekeeping. This is a studio for people who know what they want and are willing to plan ahead; it's not the right fit if you're impulse-booking on a night out, but it's exactly right if you want a tattoo that'll look as sharp in five years as it did on day one.

À propos du studio

Slangin Dat Ink 1 has established itself as a fixture in New Orleans's tattoo scene since 2010, building a reputation rooted in technical precision and a genuinely collaborative approach to design. The studio operates out of New Orleans proper, drawing a mix of locals and visitors who prioritise quality over convenience-this isn't a drop-in walk-in spot, which actually signals a deliberate curatorial approach to the work that comes through the door.

The studio specialises in minimalist and realism styles, which represent two quite different demands on an artist's skill set. Whether you're after clean linework with breathing room or a portrait that captures genuine likeness, the artists here have honed their craft across both idioms. This breadth suggests a studio with strong foundational training and the discipline to resist easy shortcuts.

If you're new to getting tattooed, expect to book a consultation first-this is standard practice and allows you to discuss your concept, sizing, placement, and any concerns face to face. Come with a clear idea of what you want, or be prepared to collaborate on one. The high rating (4.9 across 174 reviews) reflects consistency in execution and professionalism, not luck; a studio with over a decade behind it and that review density has learned how to manage client expectations and deliver on them.

Slangin Dat Ink 1 holds genuine weight in New Orleans's tattoo community, neither as a tourist trap nor as an obscure specialist studio, but as a steady, skilled operation where your tattoo matters as much to the artist as it does to you.

Great experience and even better artwork. Got a tat with my sister and loved it so much we went back a week later for more. Sal is an amazing artist! Quicker than you would expect for such high quality work. You got some loyal customers out of us! Can’t wait for the next one!

I came in for a piercing and Kimberly was an angel and exceptional; she went above and beyond for the service. Not only was she patient, she walked me through the whole process and explained everything she was doing before and after. I’ve had piercings before but never had the privilege of having someone so caring and passionate of their craft. Highly recommend anyone to come in and see her for your piercing needs!

Service was absolutely AMAZING!! I got the most beautiful tattoo done and I was told it looks better than the original design. I wanna thank Sal for giving me my first birthday present of the day and providing me with a comfortable and authentic experience. 1000/10 will be coming back!!

I am a tattoo artist from New York who does guest spots at other shops to travel. I have been tattooing at Slangin Dat Ink for some years because the vibe is amazing. Sal is an awesome dude and Kim is a one of a kind woman who does it all. They truly serve New Orleanian people and love their neighborhood. Sal is a clean, experienced artist who is amazing at freehand lettering and Kim has done tooth gems on me that have lasted longer than other techs I’ve been to. Proud to consider them my people and I highly recommend them to anyone and everyone who wants to be treated like family.
