    Custom 1 Year Wedding Anniversary forearm tat by Marc!
    Rachelle P.

    Yesterday evening my husband and I stopped in for our appointment with tattoo artist Marc. Marc said I had the perfect skin for tattooing and did surprisingly well holding still for my first tattoo! It was $250 each for our custom 1 year wedding anniversary forearm tattoos, with free touch-ups for the first 2 years! We were also given an envelope with after-care instructions, antibiotic ointment and to our surprise several car decals, my favorite "Keep Tahoe Tattooed!" This award winning small business has been around for 21 years! I've always wanted some cute fruit or dessert tats, so I'll be back next time we're in Kings Beach! SYOY! :-) Song: Redline by EnjoyMusic https://enjoymusic.ai

    As a woman of color who frequents the Tahoe/Truckee area, sadly I don't always feel welcomed. In October I spent some time inhaling and consuming the Sierras and found myself at Lucky Seven Tattoo to memorialize my trip. The staff attended to me right away. Took their time answering questions and getting me scheduled. The best part of my time with Lucky Seven was Russell. He elevated my tattooing experience with his patience, wisdom about staying calm and embracing the elevation and experience, and checked in on me often. I had some anxiety and he supported me through it. Truly the BEST experience I have ever had in my 41 years of traveling to the Sierras. And to top it off, he's a phenomenal artist. I can't wait for Russell to do my next one!

    We love it.

    My daughter and I went to see Russell for her first tattoo and everything about the experience was incredibly positive. He did a great job. He was friendly and helpful. Russell really made the experience, pleasurable and memorable. Great job and thank you.

    Great place for piercings and tattoos. It is a clean and professional shop. I couldn't be happier with my tragus piercing by Nicole and my chickadee tattoo by Marc.

    I researched a number of places before deciding to go to Lucky 7 tattoo. I am so happy that I decided to go here. I had the pleasure of working with Russell. The staff at lucky seven are knowledgeable, experienced, and easy to work with. The shop is incredibly clean. I strongly recommend lucky seven to anyone. You will not regret coming here. There's a reason they're pretty much five-star. Couldn't be happier, and I will go back for the next one. I wanted to get my mom's handwriting tattooed on my monkey feet (As she would've said) I went in with one idea of placement along the side of my foot. He took time to sit down and explain the disadvantages of placing a script tattoo on that area... he took her handwriting and offered that it go on top of my foot and he rearranged it so it didn't look like a stamp. He showed me a preview of what it would look like and I absolutely loved it. My brother had wonderful work done by Marc as well!

    My night elf Druid owl that I am obsessed with! By Scott

    Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish with this shop. From my many, many emails being replied to, to the hospitality showed by the entire team from the minute we arrived and the many hours we spent there, to the vibe, the artists, and the work done...this place is the best. Kathleen the owner and Ryan were very accommodating with my large group. We were in town for a week and with 7 of us getting tattooed we were a lot to handle. They offered us water while waiting. They explained everything to us before our tattoos especially info on getting tattooed at a higher elevation and how that could affect you all while reassuring you that they have water, snacks and glucose tabs just in case. I mentioned that I tend to get cold when getting work done and Scott assured me they had a blanket if I needed it. Scott and Addison were our Artists for our party of 7 that was spread out over 3 days. They were amazing. Their work is beautiful and we will definitely be back! My husband and I were so stoked on our first tattoos that we opted for a 2nd. My 2nd was not going to be a 30 min lil guy and it was getting close to closing time. Scott asked to see what it was that I wanted, I showed him my owl pic and he said how he loved owls but didn't think he could do it due to time etc... Then in an epic moments decision he was like to hell with it, I want to do that tattoo, let's do it!! Haha it was great! He delivered on it, in record time! I love it! It looks AMAZING!! We all love our new tattoos and recommend this place if you are looking for a chill place with amazing people!

    I had the best experience here. The guys were super chill and accommodating. I came in with a design I had a friend make and I couldn't have asked for a better result. Thank you to Darius that made this little masterpiece. Highly recommend if your feeling spontaneous in Tahoe!

    Tourist beware. You can't get a "vacation " tattoo here. No walk ins, no same day appointment or…read moreeven a call back to schedule. Sadly the Resort I stayed at recommended them. I hate to leave a negative review but it's not fair for customers to waste time. I'm sad I'm returning to Florida without new body art.

    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.
