Reviews of Rougarou Collective Tattoo Shop (Tattoo Shop)

Kaylin Lacoste

Brielle did my tattoo and she did an amazing job! She made sure the placement was perfect for my body. She has such a great personality and loves what she does! Love the environment and how friendly everyone is!

Thomas Schenck

I got a tattoo from James and he did an amazing job. They were very accomedating to me and my friend. The parlor is clean and comfortable. I cannot wait to get more done at Rougarou and from James!

Jennifer Hayden

I had a really wonderful experience getting a custom tattoo done at Rougarou. The staff are very professional and are accommodating to changes and modifications to your design ideas. James is a great artist and very detail oriented re placing my stencil to make sure it was just right and perfectly centered on my shoulder. The level of fine detail work in the tattoo itself also sets Rougarou apart from other tattoos I have seen. The line work and shading is fabulous. It is in a great location and very clean. If you are looking for a new awesome tattoo and a great experience don't hesitate to stop by.

Juan Carter

Great service. Great Results.

glaco

Very professional, talented artists. The shop is clean and has a very nice atmosphere as well. I highly recommend this place to anyone in the southeast Louisiana area looking to get a tattoo!

Meagan Ordeneaux

A truly phenomenal shop right in downtown Ponchatoula! All the tattooists here are so talented. Kitty started my half sleeve recently and just the line work she has done so far has already blown me away!!! I LOVE IT! This is a professional, clean, and unique environment unlike any shop around. So much time and pride has been put into this business and all the artists here’s work, and it shows!! I would give a million stars if I could..! You will not regret your decision when choosing Rougarou. You literally can’t go wrong!

Kelly N

Shop is really inviting, and the staff were incredibly sweet and helpful! Matthew did an amazing job on my tattoo and I can’t wait to come back and get another one.

Paul Owings

Great experience! Amazing artists! Thanks Matthew!

Erica Durham

Great place. I got some floral work done by Kitty. She was awesome. Everyone was kind and professional.

Kyle Beckham

Just got a great new piece done by Matthew Moore! I highly recommend The Wincester Company for your next piece. The people there are super friendly. The building is clean and the inside is decorated with paintings done by the artists. Over all a GREAT place to get a tattoo.

Ronald Pellegrin

James made the idea I had come to life. Such a great experience and amazing quality in work! I would recommend this studio and James to anyone that is looking something they will love!

Adrianna Dalton

Very nice shop! Very clean and professional and everyone is very nice! My sister and I both got our first tattoos here and we enjoyed the experience. James did an excellent job! We'll definitely return to them in the future!

Stephanie Lassabe

Very professional and down to earth. James is amazing! His line work on my peacock outline came out awesome. Can't wait until my next session.

Rory Bridges

I'm in the process of constructing an arm sleeve, and got my first session done by a very worldly Irishman named Matt Moore. Aside from being exceptionally artistic, this guy provided a confident atmosphere that seemed to have been missing from many of my previous tattoo sessions. Absolutely recommend him to anyone. The shop is very well kept, and emits a vibe that seems to perfectly balance relaxation and professionalism. Top notch place.

little joe

Very professional staff and clean environment . Mr Matthew is doing my work and I'm very happy with what he's done so far. Can't wait till he's done so I can share the before and after pics. Had to wait a little while to get on the list but so worth it when it comes really getting done what you want. Mr. Matthew has such a great personality I was in the chair for over 2.5 hours and it seemed like 30 min . Looking forward to my next session . Thanks Rougarou Collective see yall in November.

Adam North

Got my wife a tatto for Valentine’s Day by Matthew. Turned out amazing. Everything from how the shop is ran to the art is first class!!!

Zachariah

James did An amazing job would definitely recommend!

Daniel Ordeneaux

Great atmosphere for new tattoo enthusiasts and old. Friendly and knowledgeable staff that truly enjoy what they do. Would recommend anyone interested in tattoos to pay a visit to Rougarou Collective Tattoo Shop.

Brian Suarez

I'm so happy I chose Rougarou Collective for my second tattoo. James did a great job. He took my video game referenced tattoo and customized it to make it mine. I do have another tattoo in mind and will definitely come back to see everyone at Rougarou.

Kayli G.

Rougarou Collective is by far the best custom tattoo shop in the Northshore area! Extremely clean, great customer service and located in the heart of downtown Ponchatoula. I highly recommend the tattoo artist James C., all of his work is amazing, he works quickly, and makes sure you’re comfortable during the whole tattoo process. This shop also provides cosmetic tattooing by their artist Meagan, who I also highly recommend. I had my eyebrows microbladed by her, and was very happy with the result! Definitely check this shop out for any of your tattoo/ cosmetic tattooing needs!

Kit Core

Clean and professional. Work is top notch, and felt very comfortable. Tattoo I got there was excellent quality done by Mathew Moore who is a truly talented artist. Would recommend.

Niki Snyder

Most sophisticated tattoo shop around! The shop is extremely clean (literally the cleanest shop I’ve ever entered). It doesn’t even feel like a tattoo shop. It’s not your typical tattoo shop; it’s a much better high-quality experience. Matthew Moore is an artist of all trades, and he takes pride in every piece of art he completes! He has went above and beyond to make sure my husband, myself, and my father received tattoos that we will admire for a lifetime! Book your consultation if you want to see for yourself; you won’t be let down!

Kelsey Rouse

They did an excellent job!! I was so nervous since I was getting a tattoo on my side, i figured it would hurt alot! But matt did an amazing job and he made the experience easy and it came out so beautifully. I will definitely be going back for all my tattoo needs. The rest of the staff was super nice and very attentive to my tattoo needs. Would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for some new body art!!

Jason Barado

Absolutely amazing experience! Great atmosphere! Everyone there are super cool! Shoutout to James for completely nailing what I wanted, can’t wait to get back in there and finish it up!

Rachel Rice-Baham

Amazing work. Amazing customer service. Will absolutely be back to see them again very soon.

Emilie Royer

My cousin recommended The Winchester Tattoo Company to me. I am glad she did. James did an awesome job piecing together my idea for a tattoo honoring my late mother. It was better than what I was envisioning in my head. It was a very clean environment, and James' set up was also very clean and sterile. Thank you for the great experience and an equally great piece.

Bill Easterling

My wife and I wanted wedding ring tattoos for our 25th anniversary. Winchester was recommended by friends. The shop was open, well lighted, and clean. Matthew did a great job of putting us at ease, and a great job on the tattoos. This was the 1st tattoo for both of us. If we get another, it will definitely be from Winchester and Matthew!

Celeste Henley

I could not be happier with the service received at Rougarou Collective Tattoo shop. James did an awesome job. The shop was clean, quiet, and allowed for a relaxing experience.

Abigail Richard

Saw an ad on Google for it. The parlors where I live don't pay nearly as much attention to line work and detail (from friends' experiences) thought I'd give this place a go for my first tattoo. Best decision ever! James did my tattoo and I absolutely love his attention to detail , it came out so much better than I pictured it!! He was very funny and relaxed so I really enjoyed the process. I wasn't nervous about the pain since I've always had a higher pain tolerance. However he definitely eased me into it to get me used to the sensations and I seriously appreciate that. Definitely was very gentle. The dyes in the ink he used were vegetable based and I think it sits so nicely in my skin! After 3 hours when I took off the bandage the redness was completely gone too. Definitely going back to work on future tattoos! And sending all my friends this way.

Ginger Veronica Harris

Bar none, Kitty is the best tattoo artist in LA; she was instrumental in my daughters back tattoo w/ a bit of OCD lol. Altho', I have no tattoos, I'm willing to allow her to tattoo me someday bcuz she sanitizes everything & was the same way at a shop in Baton Rouge, LA when she received her belly piercing from another individual. We love this very clean shop!!!

Warren Smith

Great place. Very clean and professorial staff. James did i very good job on finishing my back tattoo and i'm very happy with the outcome! I recommended James if you stop by and want a consultation.

Danae' O'Banion

James and the staff was absolutely amazing!!! The place was so clean and sterile. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone!

Heath Greaud

Great experience. Had my tatttoo done by James and will definitely be back. Recommend to anybody looking for quality artists in the Ponchatoula area

Gabrielle Anderson

Such a chill environment!! Definitely the cleanest and most organized shop I have been to! Everyone was giving off such positive vibes. My artist was Brielle, a newer artist, and she did absolutely phenomenal!! 10/10 will def go there for my next tattoo!!

Salacia

Wonderful atmosphere and creative artists who have an eye for creativity and detail. My most recommended tattoo shop for anyone looking for their next tat.

Michael Willis

I received my first tattoo from this shop a little over 2 weeks ago. I reached out to them through Facebook not knowing anything about the process and they did not disappoint from start to finish. They went above and beyond to answer my questions and made sure I understood every step. I did not know it at the time but the owner himself (Stuart Ridgel) was the one talking to me the entire time. That personal touch from an owner shows his drive and care for his business and customers. Then the amazing artist James Colceri took my thoughts and horrible doodles (lol) and turned them into a masterpiece and a perfect tribute to my daughter. I can't express through "text" the amount of talent Rougarou Collective has in all of their artist. Check out their art for yourself if you don't believe me. But it's not just their skills, they genuinely care and treat you like you're apart of their family. Whether it's your first tattoo with them or your 100th. So all that being said I HIGHLY recommend them. You will not be disappointed. I cannot wait to set up my next appointment with James to finish our "vision". Now stop reading this and go book your appointment with them!!!

Lynn Thibodeaux

Matthew Moore did an excellent job on my tattoo. I told him the elements I wanted included and he did an amazing job designing it. I'm so thrilled! I'll definitely be back for more. The shop is spotless and the other employees were also friendly and helpful. An awesome experience.

Kimberly Silva

Super friendly staff, clean shop and James did an amazing job on my piece. I will definitely be coming here for all my future tattoos!

alexis byrd

I got my first tattoo done by James and I am very pleased with the way it turned out! The staff was very friendly and descriptive with everything I needed to know and answered all my questions.

Great staff and location. Not your typical tattoo shop, clean and pretty. Very sanitary conditions and professional artists. I absolutely love my tattoo from Richard and highly recommend this shop for all of your tattoo needs.

Mary Lovill

Matthew Moore did my tattoo last Thursday for me and It was my first ever! I asked for a realistic dragonfly with a circle of text (on my right back shoulder)and he did an amazing job. He was patient and spoke with me the whole time and before I knew it the time had passed by and my tattoo was finished. I have two other tattoos planned and I will be returning to him to have them done. Thanks to everyone at Rougarou Collective for making my first tattoo an awesome experience!

CT IT

The staff was helpful and friendly. The place was clean and easy to find. James did an amazing job on my tattoo, and did a great job on a matching set my wife and I got as well.

Sarah O

I will forever go to The Winchester Tattoo company for any of the pieces I want. Matthew Moore did my tattoo and he did an excellent job. He is very welcoming and gives you exactly what you want (and makes it look great). The shop itself has a great feel to the environment. I was treated with excellent service from the moment I arrived. I truly mean it when I say this is a wonderful business.

Rich Schmidt

Excellent customer service and artists at this tattoo shop, excellent results and experience.

TYLER MANNING

Great service, great artists. Highly recommend.

Jessica Morgavi

These guys and gals are amazing. We were in town for a short period of time and they were able to fit both my boyfriend and I in on the same day. James did a wonderful job on our tattoos. He was professional, personable, and a great artist. The shop is clean, airy, and comfortable. Jessica and her husband were warm and friendly and made us feel right at home. It is cash only, so don't forget to stop by the atm! I highly recommend this place if you're looking to get your tattoo on!

Leonard Degreenia

Hands down the best and most professional shop I have ever been in. The amount of talent these artist have is nothing short of amazing. This will be the only studio I ever use or recommend to anyone. Matthew Moore & Stewart have been awesome to work with.

Brandy Harris

I always have a great tattoo experience when I visit The Rougarou Collective. Thank you to Matthew Moore for the beautiful work.

Melanie Barattini

The Winchester Tattoo Company is a great place. Stuart and Jessica take the time to get you an appointment and talk with you. They were great at making everything more comfortable. I had the honor of getting tattooed by Katie and Richard. Katie did a huge watercolor jelly fish for me and Richard did a portrait of my beloved maw maw! I absolutely love my work and I get complements daily. I am so happy that I was able to get work done by these artists. I am looking forward to having Richard put extra touches to my portrait. I have random people ask to take pictures of it, and stop me to ask where did I go for my work. I am very pleased and strongly recommend this clean and amazing place for you. Thanks again!!

Andrew Turcotte

Talented staff and cool downtown setting.

Amber Lightfoot

Just got a tattoo today, and this was by far the best tattoo shop that I have been to. The people there are very helpful, and they do awesome work! I will definitely be back

Brandy Bowman

My husband and I went into rougarou collective to get tattoos for out 21st anniversary. We did a consultation a week prior and set up appointments. Stuart called to confirm our appointment and when we got there the stencils were ready to go no waiting. The artists got straight to work on our tats. I love the fact that they treated us as if our time was valuable too. The work done is outstanding , clean shop , good people , most professional tattoo shop I have ever been too ! We will definitely be going back !

Mackenzi Picou

Just went in for my first tattoo and it came out perfect! Very simple with clean lines. My artist, James, made the whole experience very comfortable and I would definitely recommend to anyone who asks!

Cooper Landry

Saw the ad on YouTube and as soon as I got back from my vacation, I knew Rougarou was the place I should go. Walked in to a clean, organized shop and Stewart was extremely friendly and explained everything to me. James did a great job on my star, was really professional and quick about everything. I’ll be going there for any more tattoos I get and I highly recommend you stop by to see what they can do for you.

Devon Vance

We had a great experience. All the artists are really friendly and very experienced. Do yourself a favor and go here instead of wherever else you might consider. It's worth the drive, so schedule an appointment today.

Randall Lejeune

Best tattoo shop in PONCHATOULA

Jennifer Lamb

All of the staff were helpful and the artist I worked with (James) was great. I came in with a sketch and he cleaned it up and added some awesome color details. The tattoo’s price was comparable to other color tats I have gotten elsewhere. Very happy with the new ink and with the service provided by The Winchester.

GunFighter Pro Shop

Awesome Tattoo parlor! Extremely nice people, great artists and relaxing environment. Need some ink, this is the place to go!

Bailey Penzato

Absolutely love it here! Great artists and a wonderful atmosphere. They always make you feel comfortable! I would highly recommend getting your tattoo here!

Curmudeon watches things

Had a wonderful experience getting my tattoo at Rougarou collective! James did an amazing job and was very personable. The details came out perfectly, there was alot of tiny line work, and he was genuinely interested in the piece and making sure it came out just how I wanted it. The environment was great (and clean!) and everyone was genuinely friendly. I will definitely be recommending Rougarou to anyone getting a new tattoo and I'll be back as well! -Charlotte

Cassandra Perez

Very glad that I had my first tattoo experience with Rougarou Collective—an incredibly professional, informative, clean, and friendly establishment! Impeccable line work by James!

Tuneea Magee

I had a wonderful experience at the Winchester Tattoo Company. The place is clean and spacious. The people are extremely friendly, nice, and down to Earth. I am recommending this shop to everyone. Katie Palmer was my artist and she is amazing! My tattoo did not hurt and my tolerance for pain is very low. I can't wait to go back!!! I already have ideas for my next tattoo.

lindsay lamy

This is hands down the BEST tattoo shop. Very very clean environment, beyond friendly and helpful staff and talented artists. Kenneth made me feel so comfortable and made my tattoo into exactly what I dreamed of. I will only be getting any future work done by this company with out a doubt.

Erica Hutchinson

Always clean. Always flexible for scheduling. All staff & artists are awesome and friendly. Katie Palmer rocked my floral sleeve! She made sure it was finished in time for my wedding. Helped keep things as painless as possible. And she even fixed up a poorly executed tattoo done by another artist. I’ll always highly recommend!

Tay Denise

Great service, everyone was so great. James did so good with the custom tattoo I asked for. Great price as well!

Cody Stinson

Rougarou Collective is a very welcoming studio. They have many experienced and talented tattoo artists that are willing to assist in any tattoo ideas you may have. I recommend anyone to stop by the shop and experience the best tattoo experience they will ever have.

Wonderful place for your first tattoo!! Very fast response time! Highly recommend Kitty Shine. I love her custom tattoo on me that I can't wait to get more from her! Please check out her watercolor designs!!! Absolutely beautiful!!

B Street Benny

Matthew did my forearm microphone piece. I've been pondering this for particular piece for more than 3 years! I couldn't be happier. He's a very focused artist. He worked steadily for more than 2 hours without pause. Scheduled an appointment for my husband to get some work done.

Chloe Dugas

I'd have to say that for my first tattoo, I had an amazing experience. Not to mention my tattoo artist James Colceri is soooo talented. He made me very comfortable, explaining what he was doing, and put amazing art on my body that I love!! Very polite, professional staff, very dependable, and great communication with their customers. I'm happy to say that all my tattoos from here on out will be done at this studio!

Jason Mccrimmon

Rougarou Collective Tattoo shop is probably the cleanest shop I’ve been to and the work they did was awesome!!

Bryce Ernst

Got a piece done by James, and it came out amazing! Very outgoing workers there and a clean workplace. Felt comfortable while getting it done, too.

Heather Schouest

Great job on our tattoos- James Colceri!! My husband and I love them. The atmosphere was clean, professional, and very comfortable. We will be back to see him!

Brent Matis

Nice people and clean place. James did an amazing job on my half sleeve.

Bayou Kicks

I have been here multiple times, I have been tattooed 2 times here, as well as my girlfriend and sister who have all had absolutely amazing experiences, I have received tattoos from both Matthew and James and both are very professional and easy to work with, they are truly talented artist and I plan to continue to come here to get tattooed, I’m currently in the process of getting a sleeve from Matthew, first session down and I am absolutely stoked, I highly recommended anyone who wants a beautiful piece of work and a amazing experience to come here

Jared Richardson

Great tattoo shop, Matt Moore does awesome work

Tasha Baudoin

First tattoo here and won’t be the last! Matthew Moore is amazing at what he does. The best realistic artist on the Northshore.. and that’s not even counting his paintings and local murals in different local shops. Rougarou Collective is very professional and is kept very clean and sterile .. also, can’t forget Spencer up front. Spencer was very informative and kept the ball rolling, all around great shop! 5 stars

Michelle

Kitty did an amazing job on my first ever tattoo! I had a concept with just a bunch of ideas and she brought it together and drew a piece that was everything I could have ever wanted. The shop is so nice and professional, very relaxed environment and I felt so comfortable. Thank you so much for a great experience!

Albert Cusimano Sr.

Amazing artist and atmosphere. Matt moore is great and very talented. All the people there are professionals and great. Highly recomand and will go back again and again.

heather grace

Matthew was awesome. Great linework and very easy. Def recommend him and the shop. Very clean!

Kenneth Neil

Seriously one of the best studios I have been to. Ever. Friendly and informative staff. Clean and hygienic. Great pricing. Awesome artistry. James Colceri was my artist. Amazing work! There is a ton of quality in this shop just 50 miles outside of the heart of New Orleans. Trust me...it's worth the trip.

Thomas McGlothren

Matthew Moore did a cover up for me. He was able to take the tattoo I already had and turn it into the piece of art I always envisioned. Getting the tattoo is easy. The aftercare is the challenge. They provided more than enough information on the care of my tattoo to aid in the proper healing. Highly recommend!

Alton Maillho Jr.

I did a lot of research leading up to getting my tattoo, looking at all reputable shops on the Northshore and Southshore. This was my first and I wanted an awesome experience with a great shop and fantastic artist. Without a doubt Rougarou Collective went way above and beyond delivering 1000%!!! Filled out the online appointment app. and Stuart gave me a call that very same day. Gave him an idea of what I was looking to get and he hooked me up with James Colceri. During my initial consultation appt. I met James and he took my vision, ran with it and put together a badass piece for me to say the least!! Just a fantastic experience all around and I'm already trying to collaborate with James for my next piece. Dude is an absolute beast and made my experience a blast!! Thanks again guys!!

Jimmy Bonaccorso

James was awesome. The entire staff is so helpful. Very clean as well.

Joe Joe Osterheldt

This place is amazing! The owners are incredible and make sure you’re comfortable while getting the tattoo. James is legit! He did exactly what I asked of him to do with my tattoo and looks better than I thought it would!

Leona Adams

Nice friendly people great atmosphere. I have had this owl in my head for about a year if not longer James showed me his idea and I let him have free will with my tattoo and he did an amazing job. This owl is one of my favorite peices.

Melissa Ferrell

After a lot of research and harassing my friends and co-workers for recommendations, I settled on Rougarou for my first tattoo. James did a fabulous job from start to finish. I showed him a photo and explained how I'd like to change a couple of things. When I showed up for my appointment, he had it drawn out and it was exactly what I had pictured in my mind. He was patient and took the time to explain the process, knowing it was the first time for me. I couldn't be happier with the results and it is healing beautifully. The shop itself is clean and organized, and I felt welcome and comfortable the entire time.

Laura Geissler

Amazing artistry!

Anthony Mury

I would highly recommend this place especially James. My buddy and I went to get our first tattoos here and it was the best experience ever. I will continue to get my tattoos from Rougarou.

austin amaya

Today I got my very first tattoo! I chose The Winchester after seeing the amazing tattoo my roommate got from there (Kenneth). I was super nervous when I walked in, but was quickly put at ease by the friendly/funny guy behind the counter (so sorry I forgot his name). I was lucky enough to get Kenneth as my tattoo artist! I gave him a general idea of what I wanted and he quickly sketched up a gorgeous custom tattoo that I LOVED immediately. Kenneth made sure I was comfortable the entire time and was really easy to talk to. He was super professional and extremely talented and I am so beyond happy with my wonderful tattoo! On my way out, the awesome guy behind the counter gave me detailed instructions on how to care for my new tattoo (with printed out and highlighted instructions!). If you are thinking of getting your first tattoo or looking for a phenomenal tattoo artist in a super clean and friendly environment, you need look no further than The Winchester. I seriously cannot recommend them enough!

Hunter Smith

Nicest shop I've ever been too! Everybody has amazing ideas and amazing work to provide each customer. Matthew Moore did mine and a fantastic job. He made such a tender place not so painful

Letizia Troiani

Great experience! Took my ideas and it came out perfect..I Love it! Highly recommend!❤

Miranda Rodrigue

Amazing staff. Stuart at the desk is friendly, thorough, and professional. My artist was Matthew Moore. Incredible talent, great table side manner, and punctual. His apprentice Brielle is enthusiastic, polite, and pretty too! Brielle and Stuart made me feel comfortable and excited about my experience. I am glad I met them and Matthew. Clean bathroom as well lol

Jenna March

Absolutely love this shop! I got a piece done by kitty and it turned out beautiful. I’ve never been to a repeat place or artist but this is definitely my new go to. Highly recommend.

Dana Beard

Everyone in the shop was very friendly and egar to help. My tattoo artist Kitty Shine was amazing and I will definitely recommend her to all of my friends. I also recommend the shop and the other artists, one of the artists had an amazing idea to make my tattoo even better. The artists seem to work together as a team rather than individuals separate from each other. I had a wonderful experience. Thanks guys!!

infinity list

Love Love Love the Winchester tattoo company!!! Amazing staff and facility! Made me feel at home from the time I walked through the door. Not to mention the phenomenal portrait of my grandmother I got last night!!! Richard Hart is an amazing artist!!

Calvin Conerly

I got my first tattoo there today after searching online for tattoo shops I picked this shop because it looked very nice and had good reviews they were very nice on the phone when I first called very helpful Im happy with my tattoo that I got I enjoyed talking to James the artist I got all and all this was a very good experience nice mellow place with easy to talk to people

Danielle Willie

I am so happy with the tattoo I had done with Katie Palmer at The Winchester. I had a fairly detailed back piece done that took several sessions, and Katie made sure that I was getting exactly what I wanted every step of the way. I was also extremely impressed with the cleanliness of the shop and the friendly staff. I spent a good chunk of time there over several sessions, and everyone who was working while I was there made sure to chat with me and offer me water or make sure I was comfortable. Even though I now live an hour away, I will gladly make the drive to Ponchatoula for the quality service and artistry at The Winchester.

Brielle Kluka

Matthew and the WHOLE TEAM are so very talented & personable. It was nice to be in friendly, welcoming atmosphere. They take time for all questions you may have and are very responsive to messages. The Rougarou facility is very clean and decorated, wonderfully, with the other amazing artwork by their artists. I'd recommend Rougarou, highly, to anyone!

Rushery

Got a tattoo with James Colceri on Saturday. Only took one week to get an appointment, tattoo was medium size and he only took 45ish minutes. Tattoo was honestly executed so well, lines are perfect, he really is a cool guy & he takes pride in his work, will probably be returning to get another from him

Megan Miller

I will never go anywhere else after my experience here! Matthew did an amazing job on my fine line piece and made the entire process enjoyable. He listened to what I wanted specifically in my tattoo and worked with me to make sure it would turn out perfect. The shop itself has a clean, comfortable vibe and every person I spoke with was just awesome. Cant wait to come back!

Joshua Morales

I have been to many tattoo shops, Winchester by far the most professional with the best artists. On time with the appointments and straight to work when you get there. The best atmosphere and people there make you feel like you have been going there for years. I went to finish my cover up from 10 years ago and already a couple of sittings from other artist. A very dedicated Matthew Moore made my piece look like I just went in there for the first time. I will be back to finish the rest of my blank canvas, you only have so much skin so get it done right the first time at Winchester. I know I will from now on.

Mei-lan Ordone

I've gotten 3 tattoos from here, one from Kenneth, James, then Katie. I am satisfied with all of my tattoos, especially the one from Katie. She did a great job scheduling me and has the most gentle hands in my opinion. I would highly recommend seeing Katie whether it's a tattoo in her style or not, she does a great job! Katie is now at High Resolution in BR, will be traveling to get work by her!

Patsy Mcneil

Matthew Moore turned my tattoo nightmare into an amazing piece of art! The shop was professional and clean. I will recommend this tattoo shop to everyone!

Sandra Cooley

LOVE my tattoo! The booking process was flawless and easy, and my artist, James, took my inspiration pictures and came up with him own work and KNOCKED it outside of the park!! Will definitely be back!!

Nichole Frazer

Have gotten all three of my tattoos here, and will definitely come back! Clean, bright, and friendly shop. Great employees and artists. All the artists do amazing work and are great to collab with.

Megan Rossie

I've waited years to find just the right person to do my cover up. Matthew is the best by far. Everyone that works there is great and friendly!!

Adam Ybarzabal

I spent months researching shops and artists for my first tattoo. I came across the Instagram page and was blown away by the outstanding art. I got a clean first piece done by Matthew Moore and I couldn't be more pleased with my tattoo or my experience. Will definitely come back for future tattoos!

Austin Butters

James was great my wifes tattoo keep out amazing and the staff was just as amazing

Victoria Wood

Love this shop!! My boyfriend was the one who originally found the shop when doing research for his arm piece. After seeing how beautiful his turned out, I made an appointment to see Richard Hart about doing a thigh piece. We had a consultation and then the tattoo appointment was scheduled for the following month. Richard was phenomenal. He provided suggestions for improving my sketch without removing any of the primary features I wanted. He and the entire staff we warm, welcoming and wonderful. The finished piece that Richard created for me is so gorgeous. I couldn't be happier with the final outcome. This shop has some of the best artists I've seen and I will definitely be returning for my next tattoo. I'll put it this way...I live in New Orleans where there are a million tattoo shops that I could go to, however I will continue to make the drive to Ponchatoula when I decide what my next tattoo is!

Carly Kirkland

Five star earned! I requested a tattoo appointment Tuesday on their website, within two hours they responded with such an amazing attitude! The man I talked to on the phone was so kind, helpful, and actually was very excited to talk about the tattoo I wanted! We set an appointment so quick! The next day I was seen for a free consultation. While I was waiting I got a look around and being an artist for so many years I just want to say that at this company everyone is extremely talented! I study a lot of art, and I know good tattoos when I see them. Also,my tattoo artist, Kenneth, was amazingly really sweet and so helpful. He was connected with me about my tattoo, answered all the questions I was curious about, he knew automatically what he could do to the design to fit my personality, he explained everything in great detail! The day of the appointment was even better. I walked in extremely nervous..they told me I would do just fine and that it is worth it. It's good to know they care so much about their clients, you can tell automatically how such a great business it is! Great price also for the size tattoo I received! Great environment! All in all it was such an amazing experience! It was my first tattoo and I already know I'll definitely be coming back! So I recommend this company for anyone who is wanting a tattoo and isn't sure on where to go! So five stars to this company and thank you for such an amazing tattoo!

I love this shop! The first time walking in was in laughs because I decided to pull the door instead of push. Stewart was so welcoming and knowledgeable for any questions I had. My cousin and I decided to go back to get her first tattoo and to consult about mine. Matthew ended up doing hers and then somehow I decided to get a matching one. Fast forward a month or so our friend went in and got her first tattoo and then now I was able to start my process with Katie. This shop is so welcoming, funny and clean. I always recommend them when wanting to get a tattoo.

I just got inked by Matthew Moore and he did an absolutely wonderful job. The work is beautiful, He has a light hand in tattooing and is very fast. He also has a really steady hand so his line work is on point. Matthew is a great artist to bring an idea to and let him do his thing. I did that and now have a little bit of magic on my wrist. I would recommend him to anyone thinking of getting inked. I would especially recommend him for first timers. Thanks Matthew and Rougarou!
