Tough Love Tattoos is a tattoo studio located in the Marigny neighborhood of New Orleans, Louisiana, just half a block from St. Claude Avenue. The shop opened its doors during the Covid-19 pandemic, born from months of reflection and the determination to turn a dream into reality. The space blends pink walls and a modern sensibility with the feel of a traditional tattoo shop, creating an environment that is both beautiful and approachable. Everything inside was built by hand by the people who run it, with care and intention behind every detail.
The studio is shaped by the combined backgrounds of its founders: one has been tattooing around the country since 2008, while the other brings experience in gallery operations and curating. Together they've developed a creative, distinctive approach to the tattoo shop experience. In addition to tattooing, the studio offers piercing services and provides aftercare guidance to clients. Appointments can be booked directly, and the shop is open every day except Wednesday. Its Marigny location puts it within a five-minute walk of the French Quarter in one direction and neighborhood bars and a favorite karaoke spot along St. Claude in the other.
