    My rook piercing, done 13 March 2015
    Carolyn H.

    Alright, I hate to be the first "bad" review, but here goes. My friends and I (all from Davis) came here yesterday for their, Friday the 13th $13 tattoo and piercing deal, which was pretty sweet. We arrived around 3:30 and were told the wait would be about 3 hours. Alright, that's expected. They had us fill out the paperwork and scanned our IDs.. But there was no sign-in sheet. A little weird, but they would keep track of our paperwork, right? Wrong. We went out to eat up the street and came back around 5. Then we waited. And waited. Lots of people came in to sign up for their tattoos and piercings. Finally, around 7, I saw these two girls who came in after us (I know this because we showed them the flash sheet and where the paperwork was) get called up. So, a little angrily, I asked when our turn was. We were greeted with blank stares, then they asked what our names were, and scurried in the back to find our paperwork. Luckily they had me go next since I was only getting piercings, but my friends (one was getting a tattoo, the other getting a tattoo and piercing) had to wait two more rotations to get done (with lots of "what's your name again?" and scrambling to find their paperwork). This doesn't make sense to me since we all came in at the /exact same time/. By the time my friends got tattooed it was almost 9pm, and when my friend asked about her piercing, they told her she'd have to wait until after someone else got tattooed. At that point we all just wanted to go home, so they (thankfully) gave my friend a refund and we all went our merry way - almost SIX HOURS later. TL;DR : The piercings and tattoos themselves were pretty great, but their organization was atrocious. Something as simple as a sign-in sheet with name, phone number, and time of arrival would have helped a lot. I'm rating 3 stars for "not bad, but not great".

    4 of my tattoos have been done by J.C. and every single time I bring him an idea he exceeds my expectations. Cast iron has an extremely welcoming atmosphere and the guys are extremely fun to be around. I wouldn't go to any other shop.

    Been to a few tattoo places before, but this is my new favorite place to get tatted. The staff is great. JC did an excellent job on a tattoo I've been wanting. I get so many compliments on how great it looks. Definitely will be back here again for future tattoos.

    Came and got my nose pierced 2 weeks ago with five of my sisters and Roy was amazing!! Great customer service! Thanks Roy!!

    My best friend and I decided way back in July that we wanted to get matching tattoos for our…read more30-year friendiversary. But of course, life got busy and we never set a date. Fast forward to Christmas Eve, I text her and said, "Let's go the day after Christmas. No excuses." I searched for a tattoo shop with good reviews and found Lucky Buddha Tattoo. Since it was Christmas Eve night, I couldn't get ahold of anyone (understandably), so we decided to just try our luck the next day. The shop is located off San Juan and Madison, which can be a busy area, but there's parking right out front... huge win. When we walked in, we were greeted by their apprentice, Sophia, who was incredibly sweet and welcoming. We explained what we wanted and hoped we could get it done that day. Our original idea was to place the tattoo on the palm area, but Sophia was very transparent about how ink usually doesn't hold well there. She suggested an alternative placement that still worked perfectly with our vision. After discussing the price, we decided to go for it. Luckily, she had availability right then and there. She was so patient, making every tweak and edit we asked for without hesitation or attitude Absolute gem. While she was designing, we hung out up front and got some unexpected puppy therapy! their sweet pit bull wandered over and decided my friend was her chosen human. She jumped right into her lap and chilled, which was especially adorable since my friend is normally scared of big dogs. Instant icebreaker. The entire vibe of the shop was warm, friendly, and chill. The owner even came out and chatted with us for a bit, which just added to the good energy. Once we finalized the design, Sophia got to work. She had a gentle hand, and each tattoo only took about 20 minutes. We walked out beyond happy. the tattoos came out perfect, and the experience was even better. Thank you Sophia, for your awesome work! I'll definitely be coming back for my next one.

    I absolutely adore my tattoo from my artist (Ashley). She did such a wonderful job and I recommend…read moreif you ever need a tattoo to go try out Lucky BuddhaTattoo the facility is very clean very welcoming. Everyone is friendly and makes you feel at home. Great prices.

    This review is solely for artist Alex K. I booked 2 tattoos…read morefrom her flash tattoo sheet and sent a $50 deposit via IG. The appointment was booked for February 17th. The tattoos were for a fan and a bow. The fan approximately 3x3 and the bow was gonna be about 2 in. I got to my appointment and Alex arrived about 10 minutes past our scheduled time. Although she is very nice and polite, I think that part of showing professionalism as an artist is being prepared for your client. I still had to wait another 20 minutes for her to partially set up. I still felt comfortable, we talked about both tattoos and she said she would start with the fan. I do want to point out that I asked Alex if she was ok with tattoing the fan on my inner bicept area where I have soft somewhat saggy skin due to weight loss. She said it wouldn't be an issue and we got the stencil placed and she began. Alex wasn't interested in having a conversation with me, she was having conversations with the other artists which is totally fine. I'm not the most talkative and I do not expect artists to hold a conversation on top of working on a piece of art. After about 2 hours, I noticed the pain was increasing but I was ok with it (I have over 20 tattoos all over my body so this isn't anything new to me). Once I glanced at the tattoo, I noticed my skin was raised and very red. I believe Alex is still an apprentice so she had another artist come and check the tattoo after the 3 hour mark and that artist advised her to stop on that tattoo since the skin was very red and tender. Alex said we would do the bow on my next appointment and for the fan I'd have to wait about a month or so to continue the tattoo. I was totally ok with that even though it's something I've never experienced. Fast forward to March, Alex sent me a message on IG asking if I wanted to have the tattoo finished by the shop owner Mari. I told her that if she felt comfortable finishing it herself, she could. She responded with availability for the last 2 weeks of April which didn't work for me so I asked for the first week of May and she has yet to reply. For context, my last message was sent April 13th and today is May 11th. At this point it's clear to me that she doesn't care about half axxing a tattoo. I'm now looking for another artist that will finish my tattoo. Although this review is for 1 artist, she is a reflection of the shop. I will not be back here.

We waited less than 15 minutes before being paired with Indigo, who was incredibly kind, professional, and attentive. She took the time to help us choose new pieces, walking us through different options and even letting us hold the jewelry up to visualize how it would look. Although I was hoping to size down, I still had a bit of swelling, and Indigo thoughtfully recommended waiting another month. I really appreciated her honesty and care. She still helped change out my jewelry and also assisted my husband with switching out their septum. On top of that, she gave both of us helpful aftercare tips. I highly recommend Poke a Dotz. The staff are friendly, efficient, and professional. Every visit, I feel comfortable and safe. Their prices are affordable, and the customer service is top-notch.
