Our Story
A Baton Rouge shop, one owner, one standard.
Body Ink Tattooz is the shop Don Taylor built on Dallas Drive, and he is still the one at the chair. It is a Health Department certified studio that runs on three things people keep writing about: clean work, fair prices and a room where first-timers feel as welcome as the regulars who have been coming for years. Tattoos and piercings happen under one roof, by appointment through Bookedin, with same-day spots when the schedule opens up.
“Satisfy your INK addiction.” The line has been on the shop’s card from the start.

Questions, Answered
How do I book?
The fastest way is online: pick a time on Bookedin and pay the $25 deposit, which comes off the price of your tattoo. You can also call or text (225) 201-0401, use the form below, or DM @bodyink_tattooz with your idea, the placement, the size and a reference photo.
Do you take walk-ins?
The shop runs on appointments, but small pieces, script and piercings often fit the same day when a chair opens. Call first and we’ll tell you straight whether today works.
How much will my tattoo cost?
Every piece is quoted on its own by size, detail and placement, so send a reference or stop in and you’ll have a number before anything is booked. Fair pricing is the thing reviewers mention most after the work itself.
What piercings do you do?
Nose, ear and navel are the everyday ones, and the piercing counter handles jewelry changes and removals too. Ask when you call for anything else; piercings can usually happen the same visit.
What do I need to bring?
A valid government photo ID. Eat first, bring water, and wear clothing that leaves the spot easy to reach. If you’re booking for someone under 18, call the shop first so we can walk you through what is allowed.
Can you cover up or fix an old tattoo?
Usually, yes. Send a clear photo of the old piece in good light and what you have in mind, and Don will tell you what’s possible before you book.
When are you open?
Tuesday and Thursday 12 to 7, Wednesday and Friday 2 to 7, Saturday 11 to 5. Closed Sunday and Monday. Appointment times outside those hours are sometimes possible; ask when you book.
Tattoo Aftercare
Heal it like you mean it.
- Leave the wrap on for the time Don tells you, usually 2 to 4 hours.
- Wash gently with warm water and unscented antibacterial soap. Pat dry with a clean paper towel.
- Apply a thin layer of unscented lotion or the ointment the shop recommends, 2 to 3 times a day, for about two weeks.
- No soaking: showers are fine, but skip baths, pools, hot tubs and the lake until it is fully healed.
- Keep it out of direct sun while it heals, then use sunscreen on it for life.
- Wear loose, clean clothing over the area for the first few days.
- Do not pick or scratch. Peeling and light flaking are normal; let it come off on its own.
Questions during healing? Call or text (225) 201-0401 or email bodyinktattooz@gmail.com.
