Got lucky and came on a not so busy day and was pierced by the artist Cynthia.Great, friendly fast experience. She talked me through the whole process with minimal discomfort.

This shop was open and accommodating for a last minute decision. They were knowledgeable and assistive. There were 5 of us who got matching forearm tattoos and one got a nipple piercing. This shop is great. The work was quick and exactly what we asked for.

I had my nose piercing by Cynthia and it was great. I was nervous because prior to this I had only had my ears pierced, but it was very easy. They were super quick when doing the piercing and concise about aftercare, and my mom and I were in and out in less than 20 minutes. You should definitely come here!

I have 5 tattoos & 1nose piercing. Which I started getting 25 years ago. All of these I received at Tattoos by Lou! A few days ago I lost my nose ring!😞 (Which was still great after 25 years!)Needless to say I was out of town and couldn’t find a comparable replacement! I got back to Miami, went straight to Tattoos by Lou! And they had the very same secure, high quality nose ring! The young lady Patricia (at least I think it’s Patricia, it might be Cynthia! I’m so very bad with names!) Anyway, she was very pleasant, courteous, knowledgeable and professional! I’ve always received the greatest service at TBL! I’m so very glad that they’re still there, in business as strong as ever! I’ll always be a loyal customer! Keep up the good work guys! And gal!!! Thanks so very much!!!!💙💙💙💙💙💙

I got my first piercings (besides the ones I got as a baby) done here today. I got 2 sets on my earlobes and one industrial, the lady who did my piercings was so sweet, she explained to me how to take care of my piercings, and made the experience very comfortable and nice. Though I didn’t catch her name, if she sees this I want to say Thank You again 😊.

I took my daughter to get her nose piercing. Cynthia attended to us right away so there was minimal wait time. Ronnie was great at every step and made sure my daughter was comfortable. The process super quick and clean. My daughter was so happy with the work that shes excited to return for the other nostril.

Check out artist (& big brother) Devin if you ever pop by...awesome place!

So I decided to get my Nostril Piercing and upon entering the shop had the pleasure to speak with Felix. He helped me out and answered all my questions regarding tattoos and availability’s. Felix did my Nose Piercing he knows what he’s doing. Awesome dude

So I was in Miami this weekend celebrating my birthday and decided I wanted a piercing. Stopped by and visited Ronni and she was awesome. She’s super friendly professional quick clean and very informative. I highly recommend her!

I was in need of a new nose piercing and this place was open, Even on a holiday.The woman that was working was so nice and helpful. The pricing was really good, I can’t wait to go back so I can get my tattoo done at this shop

We spoke to Felix over the phone about doing a septum piercing and we wanted to make an appointment. He never said that we dont need make appointments over the phone. The lady at the front desk said shes busy its going to be 30 to 45 minutes. then she proceeded to get up she asked what we wanted we told her that we wanted to get a piercing she went to the back and she said oh our tools arent ean anyway so its going to take like 2 hour to clean the tools. For a place that has no customers and pretty much look like they just opened there is no reason why tool should not be cleaned.I was a returning customer. I will not return again very unprofessional people working in the shop. No it was not busy. Your people were just sitting around. Very lazy and unprofessional. Your piercer didnt want anything to do with our business. The moment we walked in and we asked for piercing she said she was busy. As the owner you shouldnt be lying to people that you were so busy your equipment should have been cleaned and ready to go from the night before. And your employees should be accepting every single person that comes through that door. We went to another place their equipment was clean and they made our money. I wish I could now give you less than one star for all the lies that you said in your paragraph that you wrote. And I hope other people read this and do not step foot into your shop until you get rid of unprofessional people that dont want to do their job.

Ive been getting tattooed by Dicky for the past 12 years. He is a true professional and master of his craft. He takes the time to understand your vision and bring it to life. He pays attention to detail and goes above and beyond. The shop and the staff is always very nice. The shop is extremely clean and the prices are fair. Remember you get what you pay for. Lastly, Dan, their piercer is extremely talented and I also highly recommend him. Trust me, go see these guys you wont be disappointed.

I love this place so much, I recommend tattoo by Lou to anyone.

Had a great first time experience would recommend and doit again

Amazing customer service! I came in because I had a problem with my nipple piercing that I got at another location and Felix was super nice and explained to me my options and what the problem was and helped me pick out a new piercing that was the correct size and helped me put it on. He also told me new information that the other place never gave me and I’m super grateful! I was in a lot of pain and I’m glad I stopped by. Will definitely recommend this place; the place is clean and the guys are really nice.

Pretty disappointed, my friend was so excited to get an ear piercing done based on the reviews for this place. A sign on the door said that the piercer doesnt arrive till 4pm. Then at 4pm, the lady inside said she doesnt know if shes coming today and probably will tomorrow. How do you not know if your piercer is coming today especially on a Saturday?? If theyre not coming, dont have the misleading sign out. Customer service was such a disappointment. Just lost a paying customer.

Waited 3 hours for a tragus piercing the person told me it was a 10 minute wait they took somebody else ahead of me twice and made me wait to clean the product on top of it excuses and no apologies or accommodations for the three hour inconvenience. Save your money and go else where for better customer service

I was completely comfortable. Very clean place & my man loves my TAT!!! Yes I would go back. The Artist wasnt harsh he was gentle & creative. Thanks to the Artist.

My experience was great. The gentlemen there where very nice an helpful an the simplest tattoo came out beautiful. Thank you ! I would definitely go back if I was in town again.

Very unprofessional. Danny and Devin. One talked to me on the phone, said they saw my email and didnt respond for 4 days. The other agrees to do 2 matching tattoos a week in ADVANCED. Then tells me they fully booked and to come back on a day I LEAVE. So unprofessional. Deserves -50 stars. On Superbowl weekend no less. I got 2 days to find a replacement. Im at a lost for words.

This is the Miami Original tattoo shop. Clean, safe and a stable of amazingly talented artists. Mine was Dicky Magoo and I can only say good things about him. Quick and efficient

Great customer service, very knowledgeable

I went to the shop on Sunday, Christmas eve to get a piercing. I came in at 4:30 & there were several people waiting already. I put my name on the list & was waiting. 2 hours pass by, Im still waiting. I wasnt the last one to come in, but the piercer kept passing my name. I was told that Im finally next, than she took the last person to come in. Are you serious? I ended up being the last one in the shop. After growing impatient I left. Very unprofessional & a waste of my time. I took my business elsewhere. The great Google reviews is why I chose this place to get my piercing, I didnt have the same experience.

Just wanted to thank ARTIST DANNY for THE BEST First Tattoo Experience with this special event in my son’s life! Could not have imagined a better experience than having his tattoo by Danny today for his 16th birthday!!!He’s so happy and proud of his ink. Worth the hour round trip any day any time. THANK YOU!!!

Ronnie was such a great experience. She was very friendly, professional, and CLEAN !!!! I totally recommend!

I got a mini tattoo and y’all still charge $70 ... that’s kinda robbery. But loved the tattoo artist and beautiful black queen in the front.. forgot their names lol

This place is amazing! I wanted to get my helix piercing done professionally done, and I got exactly what I wanted. Service is amazing as well:)

They advertise that they carry a large selection of jewelry, so I went in to switch out the labret for my medusa. Unfortunately, they only had 4 or so style options in the size gauge I needed, so I settled for one. It looked very small, so I expressed my concerns about typical morning swelling and the possibility of the jewelry embedding in my lip, but the piercer said that it would be fine.The jewelry change was relatively easy and not painful, but this morning I woke up to the base of the new labret being consumed by my inner lip. I immediately cleaned the area and switched the jewelry back to the initial piercing labret. It feels like I threw away $20 on jewelry that is not really wearable for me.Also, as I was removing the new labret, I realized the stud wasn’t screwed all the way in and would’ve pinched my skin if it was.My experience with the service was good, but the approval and reassurance of jewelry that wasn’t appropriate, as well as the small selection of jewelry has turned me away a bit. I don’t doubt that this shop and its artists/piercers deliver good work and service, which is why I still gave three stars. Not sure if I personally will return, but I wouldn’t want to stop someone else from checking out the shop.

Good workOn the line detail amazing color

Got my second lobe piercing, it was really fast and painless, she was super nice, everything was sanitized and safe and overall just a great experience

The guy that gave me my ear piercings was very clean in his procedure by opening a new sterile pack for the tools and equipment for the job. I also found it important that before actually physically piercing my ear he double checked with me that both of the spots he marked with a marker for accuracy were where I wanted them. Thank goodness he did so because one was off a few cm from the other and if he just did so without checking with me as well the job would have came out wrong.He also didn’t seem bothered when I decided to change what kind of earring I was going to use but after he already began cleaning the first pair I chose and changed them for me. Greatly appreciated.

The place was soo clean and the people there was extremely friendly the girl that pierce my nose was so nice and she explained everything to me that she was doing

Definitely dope and thorough. Appreciate the great quality of art work and service!

Ronnie pierced my ears and the experience was perfect! She was very accurate with the piercing site and listened to what I wanted. This is the second time Ive been here and they are VERY clean and careful as they sanitize everything they use and the area being serviced. (Ive noticed this about them even pre-Covid ;) . Thank you!!!!

One girl that work there say me the 16 mm tunnel dont fit me but i know what i need and i dont do case to her and i buyed and yes that size fit me! i almost lost my time for a bad opinion! the next time this girl need to know more that what she talking about! Blessed

Loved it! I got my ears pierced by Felix and my septum done by Ronni. Great customer service and Ronni was a delight to talk to. Very professional and clean environment! Highly recommend!!!

Staff is outstanding! Ronnie is a amazing at the front shes done my ears multiple times and shes so kind and helpful!! Joey did my hands this time and his work was perfect, gave me exactly what I wanted and took his time to get the art done right. Overall my favorite tattoo shop away from all the business that is Miami. If youre looking to get work done from a place that is professional, fun, and makes you feel at home, this is the spot!

Iconic tattoo parlor in North Miami. The place to good for serious work done. Its really the staff that makes this place. Great group of guys that really know what theyre doing.

I Love Tattoos by Lou,I highly recommend them. I got my 1st piercing (tragus/left&right)with them in 2008. They gave me the best advice for after care when my piercings were rejecting and now they are all healed perfectly. I’ve gotten 8 piercings with them in total over the years. (Recently got my nose in 2020) Very Clean, Professional facility and every one is super nice, well informed & Passionate in their Profession. Love the team @ Tattoos by Lou North Miami!

The guy that did my Piercing was really good.

I got my tragus piercing here, my piercer was Yola, to be honest I arrived a little nervous, but she was so kind and welcoming that I completely forgot about being nervous. I liked how she made me feel safe during the procedure, all things very clean and sge was very gentle. I completely recommend the place and definitely Yola! Im really pleased with my piercing.

Wow. Let me start by saying: I completely forgot how much pain is involved when getting a tattoo..anywho my tattoo artist was Sean/Shawn. I usually get my work done by Rodger but since he wasnt there I went with Sean. Great guy and he did a great work. I recommend this place

Awesome staff; a little pricey in my humble opinion....

The artist was very informative about my healing process and pleasant. I would highly recommend anyone to visit. Next visit nose piercing. Stay tuned

Wish the Manager would bring in new nostril nose rings like this one . I used to have a clear gem diamond one that I absolutely loved but it was unfortunately washed away in my sink after washing my face a few days ago before I went here and that was purchased at least 5 or 6 months ago same location and they had just that one left and still nothing restocked 🙁. However, I am begging 🙏 and hoping that the manger orders abs drops off a lot more frequently and as well soon in larger quantities as well especially the clear gems in this exact kind of nostril nose ring that looks like a diamond but I hoping that the size of the gem is at least twice the size of the circumference as the current remaining nose rings like the one I bought and show you all here which was the last one in a light light blue like December I believes birthday gemstone but I might be wrong and now what was left was a few reds and few dark blue sapphire coloured for September which is my month but just the opposite of what I wanted and this blue I chose was as close to light coloured or diamond like coloured as I was going to get🤩💍. I really even like to see a section maybe half a box at least or more of 3 times the size around as the left over gems in the nose rings here I have displayed below . Unfortunately I didn’t take pictures while there so this is only my current ☝️ one🤗I unfortunately used to have another account on google maps with over 400,000 views and was extremely involved with it and was a few levels up on the photographer badge and others and because my email with gmail was found on the dark web hackers sold and hacked it and took my information and tried taking everything I owned or might ever own so that Google two verification step is no deterrent for hackers they can use anything chrome, Samsung, etc and access all saved cards logins on file delete them now un-save everything I know it going to suck but not as much as several bills never stopping all day every day for months and months!!!! Trust me I go no where they needed no card or anything!!!!So here’s my new Google account and newbie ranking and zero reviewed besides this today😔Take care everyone and please stay safe and stay home if you can but always be aware and happy and healthy 😷🥰🤗😍😊

Came to Miami on spring break and Joe was able to get my group of 5 in and stayed late to make sure we all got great tattoos! Very clean, professional and reasonably priced. 10/10 recommend Joe!!

AMAZING EXPERIENCE FOR ME AND MY FRIENDS FROM NY. DID ME AND MY FIVE FRIENDS WHILE FOLLOWING SOCIAL DISTANCING AND COVID PRECAUTIONS. FOR SOME OF US IT WAS OUR FIRST TATTOOS AND SHAWN AND HIS CO WORKERS MADE US ALL VERY COMFORTABLE AND EXCITED FOR THEM. I LOVE IT. WOULD RECOMMEND ANYONE IN MIAMI TO GO HERE, IF IM EVER BACK ILL B GOING FOR MY SECOND THIRD AND FOURTH TATTOO

Got my Tattoo done by Joe, wouldn’t go to anybody else other than him from now on! Great tattoo!, very detail oriented & makes sure it’s exactly what you want done. Glad I went with him. You won’t regret it

Called an hour before and they said I could come in whenever which was super convenient!! I had Joe do my tattoo and it was amazing. I had an idea of what I wanted but he gave me feedback on what he thinks would look good and he nailed it. Thanks Joe!!!

My experience at Tattoos by Lou was excellent. Mike did my tattoo, I came in a few weeks before to get info. He was knowledgeable, his work spoke for itself, and he had patience with me. Im going back in a few weeks for touch ups on older tats, but I highly recommend this place, and MIKE is the man.

Roni is the absolute best piercer I’ve ever had! No regrets

I was visiting Miami and I went to Tattoo by Lou in North Miami as a walk-in to get two small tattoos. Joseph was my tattoo artist and honestly he surpassed my expectations. He did a great job, very delicate and particular with his art. I highly recommend

Had a great experience me and my family came here for matching tattoos we were on vacation and all wanted the same tattoo and we all got to get them at a great price and in great timing!

Came in here last night to get a couple of small tattoos done and from beginning to end the experience was great. Ronnie is super sweet and Joe did my tattoos....he is AWESOME!!! Highly recommend!!!!

Joe was amazing. He was super great with us and making sure we where comfortable. He told the host behind tattoos by Lou. You can see the passion he ad behind his work and I will definitely be back.

I walked in yesterday for a tattoo and both Shawn and the lady at the counter were really friendly and professional. Most importantly, the station was very clean.

Extremely good service, clean environment. Plus...the artist Mr. Magoo is the bomb 💖

Dicky Magoo is an amazing artist and an amazing guy!!

I visited Tattoos by Lou on 3/5/19. The shop was very clean and sanitary, had beautiful displays of the tattoos available. Dan is the person that did my piercing. I found that he was very professional, and knowledgeable. He explained the complete procedure for nose piercing, assured me the procedure wouldnt hurt and that I basically would only feel pressure. Guess What! I experience no pain, and no tears coming from my eye as Ive heard. Id do it again. Kudos to Dan. Thanks for the Awesome experience.😁

Was absolutley amazing. Ronnie was AWESOME very professional very calming with her amazing aura. She was absolutely amazing. Had my septum pierced. Quick easy n painless. Thank you for a amazing time and wonderful experience... love u Ronnie

I got my tattoo done by Joe and couldn’t ask for a better experience. It was my first tattoo and I was told everything I needed as far as aftercare and how to maintain the quality of the tattoo. Amazing shop and a great staff, 10/10.

Didn t want to tatoo a butterfly on my hand

Got a super cool Kakashi tattoo done by JOE!! I’m absolutely in love with it and will be coming back for more ^ . ^ he was super cool and very great artist too. Can’t wait to get more 10000/10 🤩🥰

I got my tattoo from Danny he does a great job recommend him hundred percent

I’ve had my tattoos done here including my most recent on my foot(two weeks ago). This place is so clean, artist (hiiii Dickey!!) are so professional wouldn’t go anywhere else. I highly highly recommend this place if you want great work done. My very first tattoo I had done 5 yrs ago still looks AMAZING! Definitely coming back for more !!!!

Tattoos by Lou has some really great piercers, my favorite one being Coco who unfortunately moved out of town. But I went back anyways and met Dan, who might just happen to be the most amazing piercer Ive ever met. Tattoos by Lou is awesome, and the employees there are amazing and super patient and helpful.You should definitely come here if youre thinking about getting any type of piercing!

Just had my tattoo done by joe. What a guy!! So in love with my shoulder piece. Highly recommend. Definitely going back!

The team was kind, funny and professional! It was a very good experience!Good job guys, thank you!

I got my first tattoo here, Rob Branham, I believe was his name, 20 + years ago!! He did a phenomenal job and it still looks awesome today! He was very considerate and patient which made me feel comfortable and relaxed!! I still get compliments on it!!

Great service by Ronni, very knowledgeable!

My hubby just got his tattoo done by Joe. This man got a steady hand and does an amazing job. Hes awesome!!!

At first I wanted to get a small rose on my hand but they said they weren’t able to do that then I get the idea to get it next to my moms name . My experience with joe was amazing, calm, friendly, he knew exactly what I wanted and how I wanted it, he cared about how I was feeling as well . Very nice and friendly artist next time I want a tattoo I’m for sure gonna book an appointment with Joe !

Love this place and would come back for all my piercings. Got my nose piercing done here. The staff were very professional and used the best piercing methods and equipment. I did a lot of research to make sure my piercing was done right and Ronni (my piercer) did an amazing job! 3 months later and I have a well healed nose with minimal complications. :)

100% would recommend this tattoo shop to anyone in Miami looking to get a tattoo. I got one from Shawn at the tattoo who specializes in traditional tats and he did a phenomenal job

I would definitely recommend this place for piercings. My piercer was professional, explained everything, and gave tips about proper jewelry. He is a kind and genuine person. My sister and cousins were searching for a good piercing place, and I am recommending this place for sure!!! If you want great service from expert professionals, then this is the place to go!:)

Joe did my tattoo, and it came out outstanding 😆 coming back for my second one❤️

Joe and Tattoo by Lou was very accommodating was able to get me in on arrival very welcoming and relaxed atmosphere Joe did a wonderful cover up for me thanks a lot Joe and thank you tattoos by Lou And Ryan the piercing girl was also very accommodating helped me pick out very cool gauges

Joe was amazing and was greatcustimer service. If ever in the area ask for joe. Amazing artist. Great enviroment.

I went to get my septum pierced. My artist was the beautiful Ronni...she was very knowledgeable and made me comfortable. But I aint gonna lie, that $#!+ HURTED like hell!! My 2nd most painful piercing. But I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!

This tattoo place was amazing, the staff was very nice, friendly, professional,I would like to say I came in for a tattoo, that really meant a lot to coverup, I was attend with tattoo artist name joe, believe me when I say, I was nervous, but he made the experience well comfortable, relaxed, very professional, JOE YOU ROCK THIS TATTOO THANK YOUUUU SO MUCH, very talented, thank you againSincerelyLee n rose

Horrible Tattoo Parlor, would not recommend. Staff is horrible and the tattoo done at this location are HORRIBLE. Do NOT spend your money here.

Felix hooked us up with a nice piercing!

Joe made this experience well worth it and the work is amazing. Highly recommended!!!! Ask for Joe at Tattoos By Lou North Miami !!!!! 💉

It was a great experience, I was getting a nose piercing and I was really nervous!! The guy who did it for me informed me on every step right before he did anything, and although it is kinda pricey its really safe and they do it well. Definitely worth the money! Im super happy with my results.

Best piercing place ever! I had paid 75 for a piercing at a parlor and my piercing was super shallow in my belly. It ended up coming out 2 months later so basically I wasted 75 dollars. I had just got off work and needed another one and this one was open and very friendly! The girl up front I forgot her name lol i think Rosy? Omg well she was really nice and did it in 20 seconds plus she went deep enough that the bulb wasnt even showing. And she let me pick the piercing which was new to me. Amazing piercing place. Will recommend to anyone who asks and will get future piercings here!!!

I just went and got my Microblading done with Danny and i absolutely love my eyebrows now! He was very patient with me and really professional.

Best Clean Tatto place you will be happy if you get tattooed there 👍🦂

My man joe hooked it up clean work definitely recommend

First studio I got a tattoo at in Miami! Theres a reason Tattoos By Lou was the first professional tattoo studio in Miami over 30 years ago and still in business today. Great customer service and incredible artists!

My husband got his first tattoo and I got my 3rd and 4th tattoos done here today by Roger. Honestly the best tattoo artist Ive come across. Took the time to discuss the tattoo designs with us both. Very professional and extremely kind. Definitely will go back to Roger and Tattos by Lou for any other tats we want to get.

My family uses Dicky Magoo at this shop has de been going there for years. Great atmosphere and very friendly. They do awesome tattoos.

Great place and great people. For the person below who said their friends got infections, it seems like another issue your friends may be having. Once a piercing or tattoo is done its your responsibility to keep it clean and take care of it. I get all my tattoos done here and take people to get piercings and tattoos all the time. Never an issue.

I have been working on a phoenix tattoo, has actually turned into a half sleeve, my boy Dickie is the artist not only did he draw a beautiful piece, but the color and effort he has also put in has made my ink some of the most unique art you will see, tattoos by Lou 5 stars thank you Dickie, great people made me feel like family There are family now, he also gave my girl a great piece on her back. The absolute best.

I never been here but my mother and her girlfriend did and her girlfriend mentioned that Dave or whatever his name is gave her an attitude,unprofessional,and very rude. My mom got joshua name done in bubble letters which dont even look like it. The whole tattoo look wrong I wouldnt even bother to go get my tattoo from them I rather go to my own tattoo artist in biscayne Blvd. In my perspective this tattoo place doesnt look like they will do your tattoo right.

Love my tattoo!!! I recommend going to Joe

Good place. Good people. Good prices. First time i get a tattoo and loved the experience. Will come back for sure.

My Girl got her piercings done over here, place is good and the staff is very friendly. Cant really say much about the tattoos since I dont have any done with them.

I just had my tattoo done on Saturday for my 30th birthday. It was my first tattoo and I was a bit nervous and Devin was amazingly patient. He designed my tattoo exactly how I wanted it, it looks just like me. Thank you Devin!!!

I just got my new tatto in this place and I am really happy with the job he performed... he is quite but good professional.... thank u

Devin did an amazing job on my tattoo. Highly recommend getting a tattoo with him.
