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.

Constantly high these tattoo artists are .. people toothless and coming into work in pajamas .. def defined Gastonia to a T . I'll stick with Charlotte and get this tattoo covered up

I had already read rave reviews about her and her work, so I felt super comfortable with her! Not once did I question the sanitation of the environment or any of their methods.

This is my second nostril piercing, so she took extra time and care into lining up the two piercings as much as possible. She did a fantastic job! Detailed aftercare instructions were provided (LITHA - leave it the hell alone!) I can't be happier and I highly recommend Tee for any of your body piercing needs!!

Kelley my piercer came to me directly asked what I wanted done and took me to the room. I asked her if it would hurt and she asked me what I have all had pierced and said how it would only hurt a little more than my ear, this is what I wanted for her to be serious with me it truly helped me get ready. She was super friendly and I was comfortable the whole time she is very good at what she does and I wasn't just a job for her to get in and out of her area she enjoys what she does and that's so good. I also loved the form I had to fill out it truly made me be like they are legit and going to give me great service which is what they did. Definetly coming back for more, also if you want a tattoo def come here one of the workers was double double checking everything for a client to make sure it was perfect for them and was like tell me if everything looks good this is gonna be here forever and that's what you want to hear someone to listen to you to make sure you love everything about it.

Went to Black Cloud Tattoo's at Comcord Mills Mall to get a tattoo of my mother for Mothers Day and…read moreended up being cheated by the so called tattoo artist and store manager. For starters, the tattoo artist ( Tina) didn't speak English too well and was slightly temperamental. I decided to ignore that red flag and proceeded to get a tattoo with Tina anyway... Long story short, the tattoo wasn't that great because she used way too much shadow on my mothers portrait but I let that slide and moved on to the next red flag After 6 hours of mutilating my arm with her over shadowing, Tina decided she had enough and insisted that I come back in two weeks to finish up... Didn't even realize that was a red flag UNTIL... Two weeks later I go back to the same Black Cloud Tattoos to finish my tattoo but before we could get started Tina began demanding an extra $400 on top of the $800 I already paid her. Even tho we agreed the entire tattoo would only cost a hefty $800 When I complained to the store manager about this unethical bait and switch the manager and owner( Lucy Roman) said Tina could charge what she wanted to charge and that I signed a waiver stating that I agreed to those terms.. I personally never heard of an agreement where switch and bait was apart of a business agreement so I didn't think to look for that provision. In any case, Im looking into legal options to get my money back but in the meantime I hope others take heed to the red flags that I ignored with Black Cloud Tattoos unless you want " sucker " tattooed on your forehead.‍
