DO NOT GO HERE! DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT FOR WOMEN! Very unprofessional. Walked in with a friend for a piercing for her. There was a decent sized group of men playing pool that all ignored us. Eventually guy named Quinton (sp) assisted us. He was kind and helpful. We were then handed off to the self proclaimed owner of the establishment to have the piercing done. After my friend had undressed for the piercing (nipples) the "owner" then informed us that Quinton was an apprentice and would be standing in for the piercing. He did not ask if she was comfortable with that, which was offsetting considering the location of the piercing. We let it slide. Everything seemed fine during the piercing, we were asked to go follow on social media, we paid, and we left. The next day after my friend took off the bandages she realized that one of the piercings was barley in her skin. It was holding on by a thread. It was too early for the piercing to be rejecting, thats just how it was pierced. Later found out that the man who pierced her nipples lied about being the owner and a man named James is the actual owner. Besides that experience, I have had multiple friends harassed on social media by the man who claimed he was the owner (Davey D) that night I went in with my friend. He has sent countless unsolicited dick pics to clients through different forms of social media. He is also a registered sex offender and is not supposed to have these types of social media in the first place, nonetheless using them to sexually harass women who he meets through work. Sometimes the ladies receiving sexual harassment are underaged. He has been warned and still continues to act as a sexual predator. Hes also been recorded attempting to get young women to come to his home and have sex with him and his girlfriend. Davey D comes off as a nice guy at first but his intention are for from nice. On several occasions, the actual owner has been confronted about his employees sexual conduct with clients and he has defended Davey D and his actions. This shop is trashy and unprofessional. The only person who conducted themselves professionally and had any kind of customer service skills was the apprentice, Quinton.

I went to Real Ink Tattoos & Piercings for my birthday. I almost backed out because I was so nervous about the nose piercing but after Quentin (who is an absolute doll! I adored him) reassured me that it wouldnt be bad and he helped me relax. The shop was clean and relaxing. I had my piercing done by Davey and I have a slight anxiety problem, but Davey was an angel. He was so gentle and amazingly nice, before I knew it, it was done. Afterwards, Quentin gave me a proper wrist tattoo and I am extremely pleased. He was quick and very detailed. And really funny, I might add. Im from Mississippi and Id gladly drive those few hours for another piercing/tattoo. I plan to return. Great atmosphere and affordable! Thanks guys!

Ive been following James around for years. Hes the only person in the world Id let ink me. All my tattoos I had a decent idea of what I wanted and he made it All come to life by his creative mind and hands. Dont get a regular tattoo get an original creative tattoo. Some of my tattoos are a little older but they still look brand spanking new and I all ways get compliments...even from other tattoo artists. Hes super clean too..trust me youll get his very serious "keep it clean" talk when youre done. And the shop is impeccable. Best Ive ever seen and if you have to wait a bit go ahead and play a game billiards. Thanks James youre the best!

Walked in without an appointment to get my daughter another cartlidge piercing. Davey was very kind and quick. He took time to explain very thoroughly how to prevent infection for the piercing as well. Im not sure what people have given bad reviews for... the shop was clean, didnt smell bad, no one was cursing and the rap music is what they listen to... not really sure what kind of music you think tattoo shops SHOULD play when theyre the ones in the shop all day.. I will definitely be letting Davey do my next tattoo after learning some of his background today.

I was told that getting a belly button piercing was painful, and I was scared of getting one, but then I grew some balls and went asking several places for my piercing, none would do it or disnt have a piercer, but thank God, called this place and came in, they are very welcoming people, love to talk to you if youre willing, I was nervous (something they noticed) but they joked with me, keeping my attention off of the clamps, and Bam! It was done! They are amazing! So want get a Tattoo? Piercing? And have a great time? Real Ink is for you!

I was really nervous. Originally i had wanted to go somewhere else bc i knew the piercers girlfriend so i thought that would help with the nervousness but they were closed so i went to Real Ink. I just want to say, that i am really glad that i did. Davey was great and knew what he was doing so it made me feel really relaxed and like i made the right decision. Was a wonderful experience and the pain was tolerable even though i had heard that this was usually a more painful spot of the ear. Thanks Davey!

This shop sucks. They all have trashy mouths and play trashy rap music Davey D gotta get every females Instagram even tho he has a female & kids to worry about. Sorry guys but if u want more costumes u gotta be polite and not play that horrible music. I couldnt stand walking in this place. And if I ran this place Id not curse or ask for high school females instagrams especially if I have a girlfriend, wife or KIDS! Dont let these fools tattoo you dont even walk into this place!

I got my first tattoo at another shop in slidell and my experience was so terrible, I thought Id never get another tattoo. But then I went to real ink and that attitude totally changed, they all have the best attitudes and do their best to give you the most positive experience possible. Ive had 3 of my friends go to them in the last few weeks and none of them plan to go to any other shop, they really are the BEST option in town

The shop is very clean and organized with lots of inventory available for purchase. Everyone we met there was polite and knowledgeable about the craft. Darcy did a wonderful job with my nose piercing in December, so when my best friend decided to get a Daith piercing, I took her there. I will definitely be returning in the near future and highly recommend this shop to everyone.

Shut out to my family Real Ink for always coming through. Friendly people, down-to-earth, great artists and a great artwork. Best tattoo shop in Slidell hands down. James, q, Davey keep on making that place great, my homey Real would be proud right now but in heaven hes watching down :-). You already know what it is and who it is. Home

This is a good clean joint to get your ink done. Helpful friendly staff. DaveyD did a great job and he was very informative afterwards in regard to taking care of the new tat during the healing process. Our decision to drive an hour to go to this shop was based purely on great social media reviews. And we are glad we did. Thanks guys!
