Iron Cypress Tattoo

Closed Opens Saturday at 10:00 AM

929 East McNeese Street, Lake Charles, LA 70605

Iron Cypress Tattoo is a working studio in Lake Charles, Louisiana, built around a small crew of dedicated artists, including Chris, John Davis, and Jason Haney, each maintaining their own portfolio of custom tattoo work. Their gallery reflects a range of subject matter, from Japanese-influenced pieces like a Kyo Hime backpiece and hannya imagery to anime-inspired designs, wildlife such as cardinals and pelicans, and bold blackwork skull and snake compositions. Work is done strictly by appointment, beginning with a consultation where the artist sketches out the design with the client to finalize details before booking the tattoo dates.

The shop keeps a quiet, organized space upstairs in the Central Point building, aiming to make the tattooing experience as comfortable as possible for clients. Open hours run 9am to 5pm, Wednesday through Saturday, with the team generally welcoming visitors with questions even outside scheduled appointments. Beyond tattooing, the studio maintains an online store selling shirts, patches, and hats, and shares photos, videos, and podcasts through its active social media channels. Prospective clients are encouraged to review individual artist portfolios before reaching out directly to set up a project and consultation.
