In the Vieux Carré

Vieux Carré Tattoos | A Tattoo Shop in the Old Square

Before it was the French Quarter it was the Vieux Carré, the old square laid out in 1721, and the street names still tell you so. Salon De Tatouage sits right inside it at 521 St Louis Street, one block off Royal Street, in a building with as much history as the work that leaves it.



If you live in the Quarter, work in it, or you've come back to it year after year, you don't need a tourist tattoo. You need artists who know the difference. Our French Quarter page covers the wider area, but this is the old heart of it. Walk in, or book ahead and we'll draw with you first.

Why Choose Salon De Tatouage in the Vieux Carré

📍 Inside the Vieux Carré itself on St Louis Street, not on the edge of it.


🎨 Fine line, black and grey, traditional, gothic, voodoo and full custom design.


⏰ Open 9AM to 11PM every day, so you can come in around a shift or a night out.


⭐ Trusted by Quarter residents and service industry regulars, not just visitors.


🕯️ Designs that draw on real New Orleans iconography rather than gift shop clichés.
