    Inner forearm tattoo done by Bart on 2/9/2019

    Came in a week early to get a consultation with Bart (aka Bg) and this was by far the best consultation experience ever. For starters, the receptionist (I forgot her name) was absolutely wonderful, she was welcoming and made sure that I understood their tattoo process. When I met with Bart, I told him some ideas I had and we then scheduled my tattoo for the following Saturday (2/9/2019). Day of tattoo: I told Bart that I changed my mind on the overall tattoo and I told him I wanted an elephant instead of a mermaid, which he was okay with. He went to the back and sketched up some ideas and included me in the entire process. He came to the front of the shop multiple times to ensure that I was okay with the ideas he was designing. During the tattoo: He constantly asked me how I was doing. He made jokes, talked about life and his career. He made sure that I took a few bathroom breaks and that I was satisfied with the entire process. I must say, this was by far, the best tattoo I have ever received. The tattoo came out way better than I could have imagined. Bart has so much talent and I look forward to scheduling another appointment with him soon. This was a birthday present well deserved.

    My tattoo came out perfect! I love it!! My artist is Low Saelee...he is awesome. He listened to what I wanted and delivered. Everyone I showed my tattoo to, loved it! My body is curvy, so he was able to draw the Phoenix to flow with my curves. I love my tattoo! I'll be adding more to it in the future, but I do love it just the way it is right now. No regrets! I totally recommend this shop!

    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.

The building itself has a really cool history, and the inside of the shop looks incredible. You can tell the owners take a lot of pride not only in the space, but in the team they've built. Eli Rushing was my artist, and he took me as a walk-in. I came in wanting to get my newborn son's footprints tattooed on each side of my Tree of Life. We bounced around a few ideas and landed on a design I was really excited about. Eli absolutely nailed it. We had great conversation throughout the session, and once it was done, I was genuinely blown away by the finished piece. On a whim, I also asked if he'd be willing to touch up some faded Hawaiian islands I have on my other arm, and he didn't hesitate. He was happy to do it, which I really appreciated. The pricing was very fair, and I tipped well because I felt he absolutely deserved it. That was fully my choice, just based on the quality of the work and the overall experience. Everyone coming through the shop was friendly, talkative, and welcoming. Even the shop hand stood out--she was constantly making sure the artists had what they needed and was great with customers. You can see why this place has won so many awards. The shop and the artists absolutely live up to that reputation. Thankfully I live less than a mile away, because I'll definitely be coming back for future work. Thanks Eli and thanks Honeymoon Tattoo for such a great experience!

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.
