I think 1 Star is even a little generous. After showing up over 90min late to our appointment…read more.. Rick insisted on not doing the tattoos my boyfriend and I originally asked for. Saying he doesn't do "Pinterest" tattoos and would rather free hand something. Hmmmm. Despite making an appointment a month earlier, and sending several drawings for ideas... nothing was drawn up. He crudely drew mine on paper in about 5min and just drew on my boyfriend with a Sharpie. We should have walked out. I WISH we walked out. Instead we ended up with cover-ups over Rick's work for HALF of what he charged us. Do yourself a favor... make the drive to ANYWHERE but here. Rick... we're looking at the same pic right? Your tattoo is the crooked, uneven one. I wanted something beautiful... too bad I had to get a cover up to achieve that. No budget was ever discussed. As my boyfriend had spent a few thousand dollars in your shop... I doubt that is the issue. Blame the customers for poor quality and sub-par work??? That's phenomenal business practice.

Jason absolutely nailed our tattoos. We both walked out excited, grateful, and already talking about our next one. If you're on the fence about getting a tattoo--or you're simply looking for incredibly talented artists who genuinely care about their clients--this is the place to go. We've had tattoos done before, and sometimes you get the feeling that an artist thinks you need them more than they need you. That couldn't be further from the experience we had here. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed, appreciated, and completely comfortable. Thank you, Tahoe Tat-Team at Needle Peak Tattoo, for giving us something we'll proudly wear for the rest of our lives. -- JB & SB

My friend and I decided to go to this shop to get a new tattoo together…read more My initial thought of the shop was that the decor was cute. We were greeted by a friendly face and, it seemed like a nice shop. She let us know that Rickett had to run out to grab some ink for their printer and he would be back shortly. We totally understood. Things happen. We ended up waiting for him for about an hour. To me, I feel as if this was unprofessional. If you were out of ink, don't you think it should have been handled prior to your appointment? What started off as a simple errand to go and grab ink ended up causing your clients to wait an hour. I used their restroom and, their toilet was dirty. There was a yellow stain around the entire bowl. I'm not sure where else to mention this but, he went to take our temperatures and I made a comment about how wearing masks made me feel hotter. Temperature wise. Not in like I feel prettier kind of way. And I asked him if he felt the same way. The other tattoo artist made a comment to the effect of "oh yea I feel so much hotter with a mask on." I didn't mean it in a I'm hitting on you kind of way. I genuinely meant temperature wise. The other tattoo artist did not need to make this comment. And then to joke around about it for a few moments with her client? Unnecessary. He got his station set up and placed down my stencil. While he was setting up I asked if I could have mine done in a dark cobalt blue. He explained to me that the blue wouldn't look crisp and that it wouldn't hold well. I feel like now is a good time to note that I have a fair number of tattoos. Most of which are highly saturated with colors. Colors that include dark cobalt blue. I listened to what he had to say and ended up getting it mostly done in black. There are stars in the tattoo and I asked if they could be light blue. He again warned against it. At this stage though I rolled up my other sleeve and showed him that there was already the color I was asking for on my other arm. He seemed slightly disgruntled but, he ended up doing my stars in blue. I'd like to mention at this stage that his table was not wrapped, covered or, protected in any way. I thought nothing of it at the time but, now that I am dealing with an infected tattoo, I feel like it's only right for me to mention it to whoever else may be reading this. He started on my tattoo. Right away I noticed that he was heavy handed. I have other tattoos in "painful" places, top of my feet, my fingers, my inner bicep, and not a single one of them hurt like this one did. It took an hour give or take and then I was done. I looked at it in the mirror and initially I was very happy with the tattoo. I thought it was cute. He wrapped my tattoo and clean the station for my friend. My friend ended up getting her tattoo on her calf. She too has a fair number of tattoos and, I've sat with her in other sessions from other shops. She has never once been so uncomfortable. I offered her my hand to squeeze while she was getting tattooed and, I tried to distract her as much as I could. She was shaking, wincing and, had squeezed my hands so hard by the end of it that I had indentations in my hands. She apologized to the tattoo artist for shaking and, he told her "I just ignore it." I'm sorry. You ignore it? Who says that? Again, another side note, we were not given any aftercare for our tattoos. There was no instruction for when to take our wraps off. Nothing. We ended up paying and leaving. By the end of the night, my forearm was swollen, red and very warm to the touch. The next morning I woke up and, it was more swollen, more red and was very oozy. This is a good time for me to note that my tattoo got infected. So infected that I had to go to the doctors and, be put on antibiotics. There is a overall lack of consistency and quality in my tattoo. There are places that the lines are wobbly, you can see where his lines started and stopped and don't even meet up correctly. The anatomy of the hands is off. The proportions of the cat are also wrong. For someone who told me that the blue I requested wouldn't look crisp, the black doesn't look crisp either. I got this tattoo done 11 days ago. I had to go to the doctors for antibiotics and there is already scar tissue formed. Not only did I pay for a botched tattoo and for doctor expenses but, I now have to pay to have another tattoo artist attempt to rework it so it doesn't look so bad. It cracked and split open from infection. Definitely not worth the price I paid for this plus what I'll have to spend to have it fixed. Would I recommend this shop? Absolutely not.

The shop is a typical tattoo parlor with a good vibe to it. I spoke with Russell (30 yrs tattooing)…read moreand told him I was looking for a tattoo of my dog's face inside of Lake Tahoe and an American flag as the surrounding water. I gave him a photo of my dog. He told me to give him a week or two and he would create what I'm looking for. Two weeks later he called me and said he was done with the drawing. I went back and Russell showed me his drawing. It was exactly what I was looking for. I then set an appointment I've had other tattoos but it had been over ten years since my last. This tattoo took about four hours. But it went by quickly. Russell even gave me some suggestions on the placement which I agreed to. When Russell finished I was extremely happy with the tattoo. I highly recommend Lucky 7 and Russell for the quality and professionalism too.
