Art shouldn’t “speakeasy”… it should speak LOUD.

At Cry Baby Tattoo, we believe artists were never meant to create in the dark, hidden away where nobody gets to experience the work.

This studio isn’t just a place to get tattooed — it’s a gallery. A space where real artists can display their craft, share their vision, and let people see the passion, skill, and stories behind the work.

Too many incredible artists spend their days in closed rooms with no lights, creating masterpieces that the world never gets to see. We want to change that.

Tattooing is art. Painting is art. Music is art. Creating is human.
Cry Baby Tattoo was built to give artists a place to be seen, heard, and appreciated.

Because art wasn’t meant to whisper…

It was meant to speak loud.

Since I took all the paper off of the windows and it’s not a secret anymore…
I’m not finished yet, but I’m not playing around with this studio!

🚨 Tattoo Artist Wanted – Cry Baby Tattoo | Downtown Lafayette 🚨

Cry Baby Tattoo is looking for one talented artist to complete our team.

This isn't a large, overcrowded street shop. I am intentionally keeping it small—just two artists total.
That means:
🖤 More personal attention for your clients.
🖤 Less drama and competition between artists.
🖤 A relaxed, professional atmosphere.
🖤 More opportunity to build your own brand while being part of a supportive team.
🖤 A clean, private environment where quality comes first.

Booth Rental: $700/month
If you're an experienced, dependable artist who takes pride in your work and wants to be part of a shop focused on great tattoos and a positive atmosphere, I'd love to talk with you.

Send me a message with your portfolio and a little about yourself. Feel free to tag an artist who might be a great fit.
Quality over quantity. That's the culture we're building at Cry Baby Tattoo - Downtown Lafayette

Please read the following guidelines entirely before submitting your design concept or requesting a calendar slot:

Non-Refundable Deposits: A strict, non-refundable deposit is required to secure any appointment date. This deposit locks in your slot and goes directly toward the final price of your tattoo. No exceptions.

Rescheduling Windows: We require a minimum of 48 hours' notice for any rescheduling requests. Failure to give notice or failure to show up to your appointment results in an immediate forfeiture of your deposit.

Identity Verification: For safety and scheduling security, all new clients must provide valid state-issued identification and matching contact info during the booking process. Fake profiles, anonymous inquiries, or unverified accounts will not be processed.

Design Finalization: All custom concepts must be finalized during the consultation phase. Major structural changes to a design on the day of the appointment may require a reschedule and a new deposit.

By sending a deposit, you explicitly agree to these commercial terms. We look forward to bringing your vision to life.

Consultation Privacy: Your time in the chair is yours. All design consultations and tattoo sessions are kept entirely private and confidential between the artist and the client.

Right to Refuse Service: We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone who violates our community standards, breaches our booking policies, or compromises the professional environment of the shop.

SHOP REOPENING JULY — UPDATED PRICING + LIMITED LEGACY RATE OFFER
As I reopen my studio this July, I’ll be updating my session rates to better reflect the level of work, experience, and demand behind each piece.
New standard pricing:
• 4-hour session (half day): $600
• 7-hour session (full day): $800
Even with the update, my goal is still the same—keeping high-quality custom tattoo work as accessible and fairly priced as possible for the level of detail, time, and consistency each piece requires.
For anyone who wants to book at my current rate, I’m offering a limited number of “legacy rate certificates.” These allow clients to lock in the old pricing before the new rates take effect.
Legacy certificates:
• 4-hour session: $300
• 7-hour session: $500
Once they’re gone, they’re gone.
This is a new chapter for the studio—same dedication to solid, clean work, just a more accurate reflection of where things are now.

Quick clarification from the shop:

At one point I blocked a number of accounts while stepping back from a very loud corner of the internet that I didn’t want to be part of anymore. Some of those accounts weren’t even people I had ever met.

It wasn’t personal, it wasn’t a statement, and no—it wasn’t a “flex.” I just prefer my peace with fewer notifications and less chaos.

I’m not here to argue online or relive old drama. I’m here to tattoo, rebuild, and keep things professional.

If you’re here for good work, welcome. If you’re here for internet theories, I’m probably not your guy.
