Stopped in here yesterday to look at new jewelry for a helix piercing and I was so pleasantly…read moresurprised by the price of the jewelry! Granted, it is surgical steel and not gold of course making the price better, but I was so happy to have several simple options to pick from. I decided to go ahead and get a second helix piercing since I was below budget! The piercer here is so kind and truly did an incredible job. The atmosphere was very laid back and calm which is always a welcome vibe for a space to me! I can already tell that this piercing is healing nicer than ones I have had in the past. I will absolutely be back here in the future for my jewelry and piecing needs!!

She stood out the most in the area when searching for fine line. Being an apprentice, she was amazing from the start of our phone consultation to the end of our tattoo appointment. Felt extremely taken care of and comfortable. I love these so much and will be back. She definitely kick started my tattoo addiction again lol.

Which, seemed fast because I know when my partner got their first tattoo it took over 2 months from design to schedule. The interior is dope. They have plenty of tvs playing movies to keep you entertained. Additionally, the decor is great. Lots of contemporary, playful artwork that meshes well. Heather was my artist and she was amazing. The attention to detail is superb and she whipped up exactly what I was looking for. She got me in and out super quick while delivering an impeccable product. Not sure when I will be getting more work done, but it'll certainly be done at 13 roses!

Getting a tattoo is an intensely personal experience, especially for perfectionistic Type-A people…read more Before getting my first large-scale piece, I did A LOT of shopping around St. Louis. I did at least 5 consults at different local shops, and even branched out to the Chicago area, thinking it would be worth the drive to get the permanent work that I'd be happy looking at every day. The consults ranged from 'meh, I'd settle for this' to 'wow, they don't get my idea AT ALL' to downright freaking rude. Little did I know, *my* place was hiding in Benton Park. A coworker heard I was not having success finding an artist, and suggested I reach out to Lucky Cat, where he had had one of his tattoos done. I emailed Amelia, set up a consult, and sent her my artwork. Literally from the first 5 minutes we spoke, I knew she understood the vibe, thought it was a badass tattoo, and that we would get along like friends. When you're doing a big piece, you sit for hours and hours while this other human inflicts pain on your body. Also, did I mention tattoos are hella expensive? Well, all that is to say, it was worth every second and every cent. I trusted Lucky Cat (and Amelia) with my artwork and vision, and was NOT disappointed. Shit, did I get lucky. Since that first sleeve, I've been back several times, and covered both arms. I've also got 2 beautiful thigh pieces from another artist there, Aidan Monahan, and I'm in love with them. I'm a HUGE fan of Amanda's art, and hope to get a piece done by her someday too. As far as the space itself, it's super comfortable, super clean, and very easy to spend multiple hours in. They also have a really cool gallery space attached, and frequently hold popup events supporting other local artists. They're honestly a St. Louis gem, and we should feel incredibly happy they put roots down in this little space.

I saw Amelia here. She is friendly and helpful and will not make you feel pressured. The atmosphere…read moreof the shop is very welcoming and inviting. The tattoo area itself is an open space but they do have privacy curtains should you desire them. It's also probably one of he most well-lit tattoo parlors that I've been in. Be aware that wait times here can be long depending on which artist you wish to see, but in my opinion it's worth it. This is also one of the only majority-female tattoo parlors in the Saint Louis area.
