Got a piercing done by Tim after Valentine's Day, to say I was SUPER nervous was an understatement…read morebut Tim made me feel very comfortable and check over and over to make sure it was what I wanted, made sure to instruct me on everything after care instructions were very thorough and was even given to me on a print out of everything he said, will definitely be going back for either tattoo work or more piercings.

I set up an appointment to get their input into what they could do with regards to my tattoo that…read moreis 15+ years old. It is a Mecha-dragonfly that the original artist did an amazing job on, and I just wanted it touched up and improved upon as it was just the stenciled outline.  About 9-10 inches wrapped around the upper arm. I gave them multiple suggestions and ideas that I would like to see about getting if possible. I also sent them a picture before the appointment. I stated in an email that I know I may be asking too much with my needs beforehand, which included my many ideas. I just wanted to throw out ideas to see what sticks. I have a darker skin tone and I knew that may be a hindrance to some of the effects I wanted. That is why suggestions and ideas from their side would have been welcomed. Last time I checked, white is still a color that can be used in a tattoo. Front of house basically told me about why nothing I suggested would work. No suggestions or ideas from their end. Weird. After listening to him drone on about why nothing works, I had to stop him and ask him to tell me what they can do. They could NOT do mechanical components or at least incorporate that with animals. NO Steampunk, NO stain-glass ability, NO mechanization, NO making insects look menacing, NO creating a shimmer/iridescent effect, and NO to coming up with alternative suggestions from their end. Which is fine---but you know...If they felt this and knew this---they could have just told me in a reply to my email of all the things that they couldn't do so it wouldn't waste both our times. The guy basically said that if I was an albino, they may be able to work with me. (seems like an odd thing to insinuate) Or---I have a totally different approach/opinion to what an artist can or can't do. I was not looking for Banksy---but just an artist who can think outside the box. Color by # tattoos is not my style. This could have been a very amazing project for them to show off. It will now go to another. Their loss. Bottom line is,---- I did not feel welcomed there, which may have been intentional. ---Which is fine, because I had my own preconceived notions before I went there, which seem to have been accurate. Funniest thing is----I had $1100 cash in my pocket to throw down for this tattoo. I heard laughter as a left when my last statement was that this seemed to not be the place for me and giving my thanks. A really strange quasi-hostile business experience and I expect a quasi-hostile response. :) It is always a good idea to know if you are the correct clientele for any establishment within the community. However, I am thankful that they were up front about all the things that they couldn't do-- because giving them my money for them to experiment with would not have been prudent.

I had such a great experience here! Last week I wanted to…read moreget my ears pierced and after calling around to other businesses, I finally called Lucky 13 and wow, I am so impressed! They answered right away and were able to give me a quote over the phone, Steph is so kind! The whole experience of getting the piercing was excellent, any questions I had were answered and I felt at ease about the whole process (I had scar tissue from when I first had my ears pierced with a gun so I was concerned about that affecting the process and was able to discuss my concerns and felt reassured that it wouldn't be an issue). Steph was quick and explained everything as she went, we ended up having a great conversation. During checkout they give you an after care pamphlet and stress to please call if you have any issues with your piercing! It's been a little over a week now and my ears are healing up really well with no issues.

Something to the effect the battery has to be changed by their technicians under nitrogen. No problem, I kept an old Timex for just such an occasion, Got up this morning and dug it out of the drawer and guess what ? The battery was dead also. Gave a call to Wooten Jewelers in the Mall and the owner told me that he probably had the battery but if not, could tell me where to go. I could not read the numbers on the back of the case to tell him. Got to the store and while he had trouble reading the numbers as well, turns out that was one of the few he did not have. He suggested a couple of places but rather than that, I asked him to call his brothers store to see if they had it. He did and they did. I'm not going to knock the store down when then were so helpful in the end. Looking around the store, nicely appointed and from what I could see, good selection. It's one of few stores left in Signal Hill Mall.
