My girlfriend and I asked for dainty little hearts on the inside of our ring fingers. Justin printed out half inch wide hearts, and told us that he wouldnt want smaller, but we knew what we wanted. My girlfriend ended up drawing the heart on her finger for him. Justin ended up going outside the lines of her drawing, leaving not only a heart bigger than what she wanted, but also sloppy, and mishapen. (it looks like a triangle) My heart was larger than I wanted as well, but at least it looks like a heart. Im now at home with a girlfriend in tears over this now regrettable tattoo for her, and the only positive thing that came out of this is that he used clean needles and we [probably] wont get AIDS. Despite all of this, he charged 10 extra dollars, because he knew we would need a touch up in the future. Im really not looking forward to this touch up, and may have hers corrected at a different shop, or at least with a different artist to give her at least some confidence in her new tattoo she despises so much. Im really disappointed in this, as these were supposed to be really meaningful tattoos in celebration of our engagement, and now she hates it.

Great shop all around! Jason did an excellent cover up for my husband that turned into a beautiful bonsai tree. My peacock feathers from there are positively brilliant! The artists there work together and show excitement and enthusiasm for each others work, as a client, that is really important. They also did a wonderful job on piercing my 6 year olds ears. They healed beautifully!

Got my latest tattoo done here a couple months ago, Chris did the work, and he did a fantastic job! I met with him and gave him a rough idea of what I was after and he used his artistic talents and brought the idea to life. Gave me a great deal, I will definitely be back and recommend Lucky Gal to anyone!

I just got my nipples pierced, Derek was chill. I was nervous about it but didnt feel uncomfortable being topless haha. The price was fair, it was painful but nothing worse than someone biting on your nipples. He assured me I can come back if I have any issues with swelling and what not.

Brock did my tattoo of an eagle in memory of my dad. He covered up a goofed tattoo that somebody did for me at another time He did a wonderful job it couldnt look better And I have had a lot of compliments on it Would highly recommend

This was my first tattoo and my first facial piercing and these guys were amazing! Made me feel completely comfortable and absolutely knew their stuff. Their sterile procedures were excellent! I will be back for sure!

According to Chris, my tattoo was "so small and simple" But yet, he messed up my lines and didnt even fill it in all the way. This was my first tattoo at this location and it is definitely my last. Very upset.

I had the greatest time at lucky gal. I am very happy with the ink i had done by Rick Gray. At the south side location, I am going back to have my older tattoos touched up. i am very happy with lucky gals work.

This was a very unprofessional and sloppy shop for my experience. I got a quote on my rib cage, very painful experience, and a letter was left out in one of the words. Would not recommend going to this place.

Got a tattoo done a while back but forgot to show some respect and write a review. This place is great, the guys are hilarious and ease any nerves within minutes of being there. Recommend to everyone.
