Joshua Oshier has done two of my tattoos so far and they are completely flawless! He’s very professional and pays great attention to detail, I can’t say enough good things about him or his work. The entire shop and staff are also all very friendly and talented they all have their own specialties and are great at what they do! 100% recommend going to them for any work you may want done.

This was my second time going to instant classic to be tattooed. Phil Van Roy was my artist and he took me as a walk-in. Phil did an impeccable job! I love the piece he did for me and he was friendly and professional. The work and artists at Instant Classic are always on point and it’s become one of my go-to tattoo shops.

I cannot say enough great things about this place! Shane did an amazing job on my tattoo. I had given him a picture of a design that I liked, and he made it 100 times better! I get a lot of compliments on it! I really enjoyed going there; it was a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. I cant wait to go back and get more!

I absolutely love this place! I go here for all of my tattoos and people stop me all the time to ask me where I went and who did them. Shane Blanco has done pretty much every piece on me. I really love traditional styled tattoos with color and Shane always nails it. I give him an idea of what I want and he gives me exactly what I was wanting and better. The prices are absolutely fair for the quality of work you get and the atmosphere makes you feel like you are at home with family. I highly recommend Instant Classic. Their employees are professional, light hearted, and good at what they do.Let me add this too…. Something that I really respect about this shop is if you bring them a piece that they think another artist there could do better, they will send you to them to ensure you get the tattoo you are looking for.

I went to get a larger tattoo on my inner forearm and was greatest by such kind artists upon arriving. I explained my nervousness and was reassured and pumped up! My artist Shane was thorough, kind, and patient! He got my tattoo exactly the way I wanted it and added his own flair which ended up being dope! I wouldn’t say it was pain free BUT Shane was a boss at making me feel comfortable and checking in on me. The energy in the shop is so fun and you can tell they all love what they do. I will def keep them on my short list for shops! Check out Shane he’s the best!

My husband and I booked an appointment with Shane at Instant Classic. From setting up the appointment to getting the tattoo he was always professional and helpful! The shop was clean and all of the artist and the guy at the front desk were professional and friendly. Our tattoos came out amazing! Highly recommend this place!

I have been going to Instant Classic for awhile but specifically Josh Oshier has been tattooing me for awhile now below are just two examples of what he has done! Always clean and crisp and brings my idea to life! Josh is super easy to work with and I never have any complaintsAs far as the shop is concerned, everyone there is super down to earth and easy to talk with! Getting tattooed by anyone in the shop is definitely worth it and I always recommend!

Travis Turner has been my tattoo artist for a little while now and all of his work is amazing. Not only is he a talented artist, but the professionalism is top notch. The shop is very clean and one of the best shops I’ve ever been to. The people there are warm and inviting, and the music jams. The art styles of each individual artist is 5 star as well. You can not go wrong choosing any one of these great people. I am officially spoiled to the great work and hospitality of this shop. I am a loyal canvass for Travis’ amazing artwork and will always be. Super thankful for the amazing experiences!

I don’t even know where to begin! Such an amazing experience! The staff is incredibly nice. The place is very clean. I had the pleasure of getting Charlie to do my tattoo & he did amazing! He exceeded my expectations! Not to mention he’s a cool dude. Will definitely be back!

I recently got tattooed at instant classic. The shop was clean and everyone was very professional and friendly. I had work done by Travis and he exceeded my expectations. I’m absolutely in love with the piece he drew for me and am very happy with it. I’ve gotten SO many compliments the two and a half weeks I’ve had the tattoo; and that’s during the healing process. I would definitely recommend instant classic to anyone looking to get tattooed! And Travis for anyone looking for black/ grey work!

I got a simple heart outline on my chest, about the size of a quarter. My artist was very unprofessional and slightly rude. I know that tattoo artist are naturally blunt but he was more careless. I was charged 75 dollars for a tattoo I would call decent. One line of the heart is thicker than the other, because the artist tattooed me from the side pulling my skin tight making it uneven. He looked at it and thought that was good work, it was not. I would really like to get it fixed or covered up at this point. I am not happy with it at all, and my experience was very underwhelming.

Wow. Charlie and the whole shop was amazing. Charlie was very personable and made me feel at home. His design work was incredible. He worked with my ideas and came up with something that was better than I could have even put together in my head! The shop was very clean and just an exciting atmosphere. I won’t go anywhere else now.

My boyfriend and I have both gotten are tattoos done with poby. She is an amazing artist and the atmosphere is absolutely A++++. I wouldnt go to any other shop to get work done. Very friendly and comfortable place to go. We highly recommend them

Have been going to Ogre Joe for all of my tattoo work for the longest time now. I couldn’t say enough good things about the man and his work. Him and his wife are always a joy to be around.As for the Instant Classic shop itself, I’ve always had a pleasant experience there. General space and bathrooms are clean and organized. Other artists and clients I’ve interacted with were, for the most part, cordial.

All exceptional tattoo artist and wonderful people to be around. Joshua O. In particular has done my latest work. He is professional, hilarious sense of humor, pays attention to detail, and definitely has a great art style. I really cannot say enough good things about him and this shop. If you’re looking for a place full of talent and fun, instant classic is where it’s at.

I went in for a pet portrait and Travis was my artist. My tattoo turned out exactly as I wanted it. Excellent quality of work. The shop itself is very clean. Travis made sure I was comfortable throughout the process. I am very happy with their service. I will definitely go there for all my future ink and I highly recommend Travis for black and grey ink.

I found Charlie Bear through his Instagram showcasing his work. Not only did he reply quickly- he has also been very thorough with creating my tattoo concept. I drive 2 hrs to get tattooed by him, and it’s so worth it! He is creative, professional, observant, caring, and all around amazing to work with. The shop atmosphere is relaxing and clean. When you go to Instant Classic, you can expect awesome work done by amazing artists!

Hands down one of the best experiences I’ve had with an artist! I had Charlie work on me and not only was I very happy with the outcome, he made me feel insanely comfortable through the process. Hey, as a guy who’s deathly afraid of needles/ got my tat on my whole shin, you can say it wasn’t going to feel too pretty lol. Didn’t even realize I was on the table for 4+ hours from conversation and great vibes. Healed super nice and still vibrant. I’m definitely going back 👍

I got a small tattoo from Phil Van Roy and it’s perfect! Reasonable price, great quality. Phil was so sweet with my friend and I, and gave us exactly the tattoo we wanted. I would absolutely recommend, and I will be coming back here!

Absolutely LOVE this place. Atmosphere is great.....relaxing, super clean and professional. Everyone makes u feel like an old friend or better yet family. My husband and I waited a really long time to find the right artist who could do what we wanted and we found that there. Go by and check out the amazing artists they have there. You wont be sorry. Special thanks and shout out to Ogre Joe....you are 100% the man. You nail it everytime. Love each and every piece of art youve done for us because thats what it is art, not just a tattoo. Thanks so much Instant Classic for having such great artists available, you guys rock!

Got exactly what I wanted for my first tattoo at 57 and it was not some generic populaire design. Shane listened to what I wanted and designed something Im proud to have on me for the rest of my life. All my friends are impressed by the quality.

Ive been to Instant Classic twice now for tattoos, and the people there are always kind, charismatic, and easy to talk to. My two favorite tattoos are the ones that I got at Instant Classic, one by Travis and one by Poby. The art is spectacular, and the artists are trustworthy and very helpful. Awesome place, awesome people.

If youre searching for a great tattoo place look no further! Joe Scioneaux aka Ogre Joe is hands down the best artist I have had. He is super chill, very nice, and so down to earth. Hes doing my sleeve and he has made the process so smooth and enjoyable! If you want amazing artwork, go to Joe! You will not regret it!!

I got a beautiful tattoo from Shane Blanco. The shop was clean, beautifully decorated, and the vibe was amazing! The artists all got along well and fed off od each others energy! I had a blast! The work done in this shop is amazing! All of the artists are very talented. Will definitely be back for more. Thank you for an amazing experience.

This place is fantastic. We walked in and did the you get what you get gumball machine. Every person we met, from when we walked in until we left, was professional, friendly and you could tell they love what they do. Our tattoos turned out beautiful and I will definitely make the drive over again.

Awesome experience! Super clean, Shane did an amazing job, and everyone st the shop is hilarious and makes the time fly by. Totally worth it and Ill definitely go there again to get my next tattoo!

I cannot express how wonderful of a human being and tattoo artist Poby is. I have been seeing her for years and she is the only person I would ever let tattoo me. She is helpful, creative, and mindful of what she’s doing. She makes you feel comfortable and makes you feel so at ease. I cannot recommend her enough. I’d give her a 10 star rating if I could. Absolutely the best. The shop is incredibly clean and all of the artists in the shop are very professional and the atmosphere in there is like no other. High recommend.

I went to get a tattoo by the artist Josh Oshier, a pretty large one on my arm that Id been wanting for some time. Josh was incredibly professional, did impeccable work, and was very kind during the entire ordeal. This was a fantastic shop and a fantastic artist. Highly recommended.

I finally got my first tattoo for my 40th birthday and I love it more than I even hoped I would!! Charlie did such an amazing job! He listened to my vision for the tattoo and all of the details I wanted to include. He gave me the most beautiful tattoo and made the whole experience fun from our first call to my completed tattoo! Absolutely worth the drive from Baton Rouge! If you want a talented artist and really fun experience call Charlie!!

I got an incredible tattoo of my grandfather’s handwriting done by Josh Oshier. Everyone who has seen it says it looks just like my grandfather wrote on me! He took me on as a walk in and made the process super simple. He made me comfortable while getting my first tattoo. I will definitely be scheduling all future tattoos with him!

I had a great experience working with Charlie. Shop is clean and everyone was friendly. While Im living in Lafayette, I dont plan on getting tattooed by anyone else. Charlie listened to what I wanted and created something l love. I highly recommend the shop and more specifically, Charlie.

Getting a full sleeve done with Charlie. I drive 3 and a half hours for every session because it’s well worth it! His work is amazing, the shop is clean and professional, and competitively priced for such quality tattoo work. If you are any where near Lafayette and want quality ink, Charlie or any of the artists at instant classic is where you gotta go.

Love Love Love this place....very pleased. From the second we walked in until we left there was not a dull moment. These guys are really awesome!! Thank you so much Joshua you did an amazing job. Looking forward to seeing Charlie and the guys very soon.

I had a tattoo done here yesterday by Shane Blanco. I LOVE HIS WORK. I was referred to him by a friend and its the best tattoo experience Ive ever had. Shane talked to me throughout the process which made me relaxed. Hes a gentle handed artist. He doesnt dig into your skin, and his line work is perfect. I plan on getting more work done by him until Im covered.The shop is super clean and the atmosphere is fun. Every person in there interacts with everyone and they make you feel relaxed and welcome. I highly recommend this shop to everyone! Shane is my artist of choice but Ive seen all of the artists work and they are all amazing.

Hands down the best tattoo place in Lafayette!! Today my friend and I got matching tattoos from Phil who was so nice, patient, and incredibly easy to work with! The tattoo came out amazing and I will absolutely be coming back!! Thanks Phil!

I’m super happy with the tattoo Charlie was able to create based on pretty loose suggestions. It came out great & Charlie was awesome to work with. He was super cool working around all the challenges of tattooing during a pandemic. Charlie’s a good dude and an amazing tattooer. I couldn’t be happier with the tattoo or the overall experience.

New favorite shop, hands down. Met with Charlie to get a custom piece done. He was super personable and professional and was more than willing to work with me hands on in the process of drawing things up and figuring out what it really was that I wanted. Would certainly recommend and am definitely considering going to them with my future ink related endeavors.

Super clean and super professional. Charlie has been working on my sleeve and I have had many people stop me to look at it and compliment it. Fun to talk to and they play killer music. Always love my visits here!

Shane did my tattoo and he was fantastic!! Very kind, professional, and a gentle tattoo-er. I went as a walk in and they were very accommodating. The other staff in the shop were also so friendly and made it a fantastic experience, will definitely be returning anytime I’m in town!

Shane made me feel so comfortable. Hed sing along, so beautifully, to the playlist on that I couldnt help but to be at ease. The conversations we had, in-between songs, were so nice. We spoke about exercising, which is a common interest of ours. He knows quiet a bit about fitness and Im, truly, impressed.

I have gotten 5 tattoos done here by Phil and I plan to get many more! He was fast, professional, and made me feel very welcome! The shop is neat and the artists create a comfortable environment. Would rate 6 stars if I could!

Charlie is an amazing artist! His glowing energy is infectious... Ive been tattooed at lots of shops all over the country and Instant Classic stands out as one of the best for sure!! I plan to get many more tattoos from this shop!! I highly recommend!!

Got 2 sweet pieces from both Shane and Phil, hoping to get done up by everyone in the shop! 100% recommend this place, very clean, good energy, and they got great art and artist

Everyone there was super friendly. My tattoo is exactly what I wanted. Would highly recommend!

I would recommend Instant Classic Tattoo to anyone who’s looking for good professional work! They were extremely precise and delivered exactly what I was looking for! If you haven’t checked them out, you’re missing out! If Charlie is available, ask for him :)

Im 37 years old, and I just got my first tattoo with Poby. I was very nervous, but she made me feel comfortable. She also answered dozens of questions beforehand. I knew from pictures I had seen of her work that she was amazing, but nothing prepared me for how much I would LOVE the precision and detail that went into the design, shading, and colors on my new arm art.I highly recommend!

Coolest and by far some of the best artists in the biz! The homies Charlie and Josh have always been more than professional and accommodating in anyway, and more importantly, have you seen their work!? I need say no more about the quality of their work, so do yourself a favor and go get tattooed by the coolest and most talented cats in the biz

Had work done by Tattoo Artist Poby, probably the best colorwork artist in Lafayette. This studio as a whole has more talent and experience than anywhere else I have been to.

My friend and I walked in for a couple small tattoos and Shane was super friendly and fast. :) Shop was clean and I enjoyed listening to the banter between the artists

Had Shane Blanco do a fun arm piece today! Everyone is super friendly, and he was open to suggestions and making adjustments for me. The pricing was fair and they were good about staying on time.

Favorite tattoo shop in town. Shane Blanco is an impressive artist and has done an incredible job with both tattoos I’ve gotten from him! People ask me if the first one I got is still brand new all the time, because the colors and lines are still so crisp and bright. Highly recommend him!

Love coming here to get work done by Poby! I always give them free the freedom to do anything with the ideas I bring. Never been let down once! Super clean place and professional. Also a great conversationalist if you’re not one for sitting quietly. Always will recommend Poby to anyone I know or meet who have a tattoo craving!

Travis at instant classic is hands down one of the best in Lafayette. Legit artist that takes pride in what he does. Would refer anyone to this shop have been multiple times and never disappointed!

Poby is an excellent artist. She was recommended by my son and I have used her for several tattoos. She has a very clean, sanitized workspace and has a talent for making people feel at ease. She designs unique, beautiful work and can easily vary her style to meet the expectations of her customers.

Ogre joe is an amazing artist.I had ugly scars due to a breast reduction, and he came up with a pretty tattoo to feel better about myself.

Poby redid one tattoo for me and added a beautiful butterfly! If you need a tattoo definitely give her a call! 10/10! Very clean shop everyone was cool definitely will be back!

Got a tattoo from josh and he did a great job. Actuall tattoo time was 1 hour and I’d definitely recommend him to anyone. Very nice shop with cool artists for sure.

Poby came thru! Super clean shop and stations.

Poby is amazing! Her shop is clean and professional, and her work always impresses. She is creative and always open to helping with new ideas. I definitely recommend her to friends. Thank yall so much!

Instant classic is awesome I love all the artists and workers here!! Charlie Bear did an amazing job on my Ursa Major bear tattoo 🐻 Super happy with my tattoo and the quality of the shop!

Poby is absolutely the best!!! Ive been going to her for years and she does amazing work every time. She is always professional, funny, and super clean and organized on a her stuff. The studio is awesome to!

Poby was awesome and very professional. Will definitely be back:)

I have had several tattoos by Poby! Sessions with her are always relaxing and I’m highly satisfied with her art. The shop is very clean and has a fun atmosphere. Can’t wait to return soon

Only but awesome experiences with Charlie. His black line work is one of a kind. Super attentive and conscientious!

Can not recommend this place enough! Amazingly friendly staff & such talented people!Clean & super comfortable environment.Loved getting tattooed by Josh!

I have two pieces by Charlie, & I’m planning many more! Love his work & quirky personality. 10/10 recommended.

Frenchy Phil was so great to work with! So friendly and professional and had a great sense of humor. I love my new tattoo!

Great experience, Clean and professional. Houses great artists. Poby was great to collaborate with and has exceptional talent and creativity. My #1 tattoo artist.

I have a few tattoos and can honestly say that Travis gave me my best experience and was very professional he did an amazing job on my tattoo I highly recommend getting a tattoo from him

Got my first tattoo here and I was really scared but they did an amazing job. The workers were funny and nice and made it less scary for me. Definitely recommend!

Highly recommend Charlie Bear very professional Interactions discussing ideas and a very comfortable environment to get the tattoo! Very very good line work

They make you feel at home .they r professional.there shop is very clean .the artist do amazing work definitely would recommed them to anyone looking to get a tattoo now r in the future. They make you feel like family

Travis did an awesome job on my sleeve and helped make it better than what I wanted. I cant wait to see the next one

Gotten multiple tattles from shane and it’s was awesome!!!Same goes for Phil!!Clean and easy to work with!!!

Otipoby did my tattoo on my thigh and she was awesome. She was patient and had great advice for a first time tattoo. Highly recommend her!!!

Tattoo Poby is my number 1 artist. Not only is she an outstanding artist, she is extremely professional and courteous. The shop is always clean and friendly. I wont go to anyone else.

Fantastic service, incredibly clean, and the finished tattoo came out beautifully. The whole experience was super comfortable and I’m already planning my next tattoo with Charlie.

Lemme say, i rarely give reviews on ANYTHING ‼️‼️ But i had to do it for them. This is the shop to be at ❗️ First off they accept walk ins, that’s hard to find right now! They will try to get you fitted in within 30- hour (maybe less), and the quality of their work is AMAZING!! You know how when you go to a tattoo shop it can feel weird ? Well right when you walk in they make you feel like you’ve known them forever, not only that but they make you feel like family... especially charlie LOL. I was tattooed by Phil, and he was very kind. He gave me an artistic revision of the tattoo i wanted, his revisions made it so much better. He took his time to sketch my tattoo and being that im petite and his hands were so big he seemed to make his body positions uncomfortable just to provide me the best quality of work. He stayed focused and he continually made sure i was comfortable! Lets not mention some parts of my tattoo he drew on me and it came out PERFECT! I would definitely recommend him, he’s my new tattoo guy. Shane tattooed my friend, and between him and charlie they kept us laughing.. I didn’t even feel the pain of my tattoo and trust me the spot it’s located is a painful area! If you’re looking for quality, laughs, good work, and comfort im telling you GO TO INSTANT CLASSIC BABY ‼️‼️

This place rules! Super clean, friendly artists, and the shop assistant Lu is so friendly and makes you feel right at home. I highly recommend!

Great work!! Ogre Joe is ALWAYS professional and on time. I always know the work will exceed my expectations!

There arent enough good words about Poby at Instant Classic Tattoo. She has been mine and my husbands artist for the last five years. She is incredibly creative and pays special attention to all of the little details. She has done fantastic work for me in both grayscale and full out color pieces. Poby is very thorough with explaining aftercare and I especially love how I can contact her anytime with questions. The atmosphere of the shop is very comfortable and is really clean. Everyone there was friendly and professional. If I could give you 6 stars I would.

Had a large scar on my arm I needed covered up. I gave Charlie my idea of what I wanted and he drew it up! Now i have a beautiful half sleeve in place of a ugly scar.

Best spot in Lafayette. Ive been tattooed by both Shane Blanco and Josh Oshier and theyre top notch. Everyone at this spot does killer work.

This was the cleanest tattoo shop I’ve ever been in. And Travis did an unbelievable job on my tattoo.

Shane did a great job, Ive gotten many compliments on this and Im very happy with how it turned out!

Oh man the talent In this shop! If you are looking to get a tattoo this is the place to go! Super clean shop with a friendly atmosphere. Im beyond happy with half sleeve that Charlie did for me. Highly recommend Instant Classic Tattoo

Super awesome and friendly staff and amazing tattoos!

I got a tattoo recently by Poby. She was great, had my design ready that we had chatted about previously, and super sweet. Not to mention the tattoo came out GREAT and heal up was a breeze.

Friendly, professional, great all around. Ask for Phil Van Roy!

I loved the vibe and my tattoo experience! Best place to get tattoos!

If i was able to give more than 5 stars I would!!! absolutely 110% recommend. Went to get a tattoo with my sister as her late 18th birthday present, when we got there shane told us they had no openings for today... they were completely booked. we talked for a minute then he offered to stay open late just to do our tattoos!! Not only did they come out looking picture perfect, but all of the guys there were absolutely amazing! very welcoming, friendly, professional, clean... the list could go on. thanks SO much shane!! I will definitely be back to see yall again

Great place, Shane was welcoming and did a great job on what I wanted done.

Shanes my go to guy. He always kills it, every time. Best Neo Trad artist in Lafayette.

Quality work at an affordable price. Super friendly fun staff. Hospital quality cleanliness. Ask for Joe. Hes amazing.

One if the best tattoo shops Ive ever been to. Very welcoming, clean and comforting. Youll be sure to get a lot of laughs in while youre there as well!

Travis was amazing! His work is exceptional.

Okay, so I lucked out to find this place for my first tattoo. I gave Josh the design and told him what I wanted. I wanted a tattoo of my cat that expressed all the horrible things weve been through and where we are now. I was afraid that the cat face was just going to look like a generic cat face with the markings of my cat. As you can see in the pictures, that was NOT the case. He nailed it!As stated above, this was my first tattoo. I had done some research on a place to get this done, and just so happened to chose this place. Josh, and the rest of the staff, were super friendly and kind of had their own thing going. They all kind of seem to have that family mentality with all their coworkers, which I like. Its a super light atmosphere in there, which helped my nerves. (While doing my tattoo, they were listening to songs that only had the word walk in the title, for example) Its not the type of conversations where its just with the people that work there that can contribute. They include the customers too, which made me feel very welcome.I had a bit of an issue watching the tattoo getting done, and Josh was extremely attentive to my reactions and needs. I got light headed and needed to stop for a moment. He paused the clock and was super cool about it. He was very friendly and very reassuring. This is probably the place that Id recommend for anyone seeking to get their first tattoo. (Or any tattoo for that matter) Its extremely clean, fun people, and bad ass tattoo artists.

My wife and I decided to get tattoos and found Instant Classic on Google. I have multiple tattoos and it was my wifes first in 20+ years. The owner Charlie greeted us when we walked in helped start the process. Mathilde was available and did both of our tattoos. She was kind, friendly and an exceptional artist. My wife was nervous but she put her at ease very quickly. We are both love the tattoos she gave us and would highly recommend her or anyone at the shop. Everyone was friendly and the shop was immaculate. I cant say enough good things about Mathilde and everyone at the shop.

The artists were so fun and friendly!! Charlie did my tattoo and it couldn’t be more perfect!! I’ve recommended Instant Classic Tattoo to many of my friends and family.

Awesome place! Very friendly and fun environment!
