Amazing artists and amazing work! Im so happy with my new tattoo

Courtney is great and does amazing work. I will continue to see her for future tattoo work.

Awesome experience. Courtney’s input and talent made my tattoo better than I could ever imagine. Definitely going back to her for my next ink.

Andrew moody did a coverup on my arm . I couldnt ask for any more. Travling 2 hrs to get anthore one tomorrow.

Courtney did a beautiful job on a sunflower memorial tattoo for me today. She is so awesome and does amazing work. I would recommend her and this Operation Ink to anyone looking for a professional and fantastic tattoo! Thanks again Courtney!

Courtney was super nice and I love the tattoo I got

Very Aesthetically Pleasing! The Vibe And Staff Are Super Chill... And More Than Accommodating! I Have About 2 Dozen Piercings And Tats And Will Only Go Here From Now On. If You Havent Been, Its Worth Stopping In Just To See The Place And Pictures Of Their Work.

Started my sleeve here. Great start keeps eye on tattoo. Super clean inside and a good atmosphere will definitely be back to finish my sleeve and do more.

LOVE THIS SHOP! Such a great vibe and a very clean shop. I got a piece done by Courtney and I will be going back for more. I finally found my forever tattoo home

Courtney did an amazing job! Great custom work!!!

Absolutely love my tattoo! Ryan Fletcher is a very talented individual, and you can tell he cares to make sure you walk out satisfied with a very detailed amazing tattoo.

Great shop. My 2 sisters and myself got matching tats .. great work. I wil be back! Thanks

Go in and see josh!!! I went in for tattoo number 2 and I’m in love with it️ Thank you again josh!!! Definitely be coming back for another one.

Excellent artists, great prices, walkins are allowed and the atmoshere is personable and clean. GREAT shop.

Had a situation in creation of my tattoo the artist was very honest and quick to reach out and set everything righ . Good to see that with their customers.

Josh did my tattoo. He was very pleasant to work with. I had no issues.

Courtney did my tattoo and she rocked it. Cant wait to finish it and start in the next.

Great staff. Homey feel.

Andrew Moody did my tattoo and it turned out great. All of the work done by the artists is outstanding and the owner wont let just anyone work there.

Went in for my first tattoo ever, super nervous, no one with me, not sure what to expect. Flip and the two other artists there were crazy friendly, and made me extremely comfortable. Flip did my tattoo perfectly! It is exactly what I wanted, and he hooked me up with tattoo cream to take care of it. Great, friendly dudes who do phenomenal work!

Love the atmosphere. The shop is gorgeous and so are the employees. Hands down the best group of guys Ive ever worked with

Had my first tattoo done by flip. Great guy. Great atmosphere. Did phenomenal work!! Will deffinatily go back for my next tattoo

Went in just to schedule a tattoo and was instantly charged more then Ive ever been asked. They seem like nice people, but i have a high suspicion they are ripping a lot of people off. Id suggest going to multiple places for price comparisons, and im positive youd find just as good of a artist for much much less. But if money is not a concern then theyll probably be perfect

I got my shoulder piece here. My fantasy football team comes back every year for the losers tattoo. Always very pleased. It is a professional, well lit place. That says a lot to me, compared to some other places in Lafayette that roast incense and is like a dungeon. Not everyone is looking for that atmosphere.

Operation Ink is a tattoo shop unlike any other; the atmosphere is very relaxed but also professional. The artists are upbeat, knowledgeable, and very experienced; they all take their art very seriously and want to give their clients the best tattoo experience ever. Ryan Ickie Fletcher has created and tattooed numerous works of art for me and we are currently finishing up a back piece that is absolutely breathtaking. If you want actual ART on your body and not just a tattoo, definitely go to Operation Ink!

The best thing ever

Andrew Moody is awesome

I got my first tattoo ever a couple years ago, and it was done by Ickie. I showed him what I wanted, and he made it better than I ever would have expected. Im so happy with the piece and the experience that I am looking forward to my next piece soon. Everyone there is professional and kind. I was nervous about my first tattoo, but his words were If it really hurt that bad, would so many people have them? And this put me completely at ease.

I had a-grate time here. all the artist are reely good! they do good art.

If anyone is looking to get a new piercing, Operation Ink is the place to go! I absolutely adore the people there and the atmosphere is one of a kind. Before coming here, I always had issues with getting pierced. Example, I had gotten my belly button pierced and the skin literally tore in half within a few months. But coming to Operation Ink, I have had nothing but great luck thanks to the amazing piercer Tim Towasnicki! He re did my belly button and Ive had this beauty for a solid 3+ years. I have also had my rook and industrial done by Tim and I absolutely love my results! He is patient and thorough in his work and strives to do the best for his customers. I have recommended all my friends to him and they all have had great experiences thanks to Tim. If you want a piercing, Operation Ink is the place to go and Tim is 110% the guy you want to see!! Love, love, love his work!!

Went in at the beginning of august for a nose piercing, was not greeted and instead was stared at. staff seemed very unfriendly. come time to pierce, my artist didn’t mark where the piercing would go, offer to show me, hand me a mirror, etc. afterwards he didn’t even tell mehow to take care of it... or offer any advice whatsoever. while attempting to pay, no signs or persons indicated it was CASH ONLY. i was told i’d get the police called on me if i don’t come back to pay them. No duh i’m going to?honestly one of the worst shops i’ve been to. Still tipped $20 even though the service was terrible. Fix your environment.

Only place I will ever go for my ink. Give Ickie an Idea and he will bring it to life!

Great tattoo artists

Love this place by far the most amazing chilled shop Ive ever worked in

Absolutely top notch crew, each of the artist are friendly and professional. There art work is unique and beautiful. I have gotten 2 pieces done by Ryan Ickie; he worked with me listing to my ideas. I wont be using any other shops in the area.

Just a trash place to get a piercing or tattoo. no respect for customers. youd have a better experience going to claires for a piercing tbh.

Ryan K. is an awesome tattoo artist! Already recommending him to friends and family! The tattoo shop is VERY clean and isnt dark and dungy like other tattoo places that make you feel crowded or unwelcome.

After the custom artwork Ryan Ickie Fletcher was able to come up with for my half sleeve I will never use another artist or shop again. He has a lifetime customer with me. We are currently still working on my half sleeve and I am going in tomorrow for session 3! He is a wonderful artist and never makes you feel uncomfortable like some other tattoo establishments. He creates actual art and not just a tattoo. The prices are very reasonable and he works with peoples schedules. He is extremely dedicated to what he does which is an added bonus, he cares about his clients not just about their money. I would recommend this shop hands down over any other in the area.

After spending years traveling the US I can say Operation Ink is by far the best, cleanest and most inviting tattoo shop Ive ever been in. Ryan Ickie Fletcher started a piece on me a few years ago that turned into am amazing full sleeve. Hes now 3 sessions into into a full leg sleeve and were already planning another arm sleeve. Ive recommend several friends to his shop that have all been very happy with the work they recievied, whether is was done by Ickie or one of the other artists. I highly recommend to anyone considering adding some art work to their body to do themselves a favor and stop by the shop, you will not be disappointed.

They say open at 9am yet they won’t answer the phone and the door is locked and lights are off...

The artist nathanael shumate is a scam artist who tries to rip people off left and right
