Outline by Aaron Romo

I booked an appointment with Aaron. I only had one tattoo prior so I forgot what the process involved. You can't get tattooed drunk here that's for sure. Mine took a couple hours and since it was longer than expected, it was more than the quoted price but still super reasonable. It's permanent so I'm not really trying to be cheap here. The final product is awesome and not only do I get lots of compliments on it, I like it. It's kinda loud so be prepared for Eminem blasting while you're getting your work done. It is a tattoo shop after all.

My husband and I had a spur of the moment idea to get these matching tattoos of on our first wedding anniversary, ending up here as a walk-in. Nick immediately helped us out, he was so kind to us and a very fast worker. Thank you, Nick for being a part of our celebration and making it a memorable first anniversary.

Just because I was meeting a friend doesn't mean I didn't scope the place out. LOCATION: Just off fair oaks Blvd and su choose to the road if you turn in the parking lot you've turned in to a parking spot right in front of the building. DECOR: There was drawings and paintings and ask that tattoo shop stuff to fill the walls. Under all that were red walls with black trim and the floor was white and maybe with black on it, but it was bright. The rooms were big and the side was more open. The piercing room was straight ahead through the front door. PIERCING/TATTOO: My friend has gotten an ear piercing in the cartilage of her left ear from another shop 2 weeks prior and said the guy messed it up pretty bad so she came to get her other 3 holes that she wanted as well. She has gotten her nose pierced here some years back and said it went great. She said her new 3 holes but less than the on the other guy fun the other place messed up on. PRICE: $90 for all 3 left cartilage piercings together. EXPERIENCE: I walk in straight to the piercing window and see my friend already talking to Don Juan (not making this name up) about her holes and prior experience. He took all her information and took us Back to the room. Don Juan had us place the hole markings exactly where we wanted and even made expert suggestions on what type of ear rings to use and the placement of the holes. The piercings came out great.

This was my first tattoo and my experience could not have been better. My brother referred me to Fat Cat because he loved the artwork they have always done for him. Everyone was really nice to me as soon as I walked in. I was obviously very nervous, but the artist was really understanding and did his best to distract me. And the lady that was taking care of paperwork, was also trying to ease me into it. Definitely will be returning here. (Also disregard my vulgar picture, it's the only one i have without the wrap on.)

Not evenly placed. New posts to help heal correctly. Still horribly painful 4 weeks out.

I want in to get my ears and septum pierced. Unfortunately they are uneven, and they got infected really quickly. He was unable to put a correct ball on the end of the septum piercing so I had to go somewhere else to get a correct one that would stay put. Because every time I tried to come back he was unavailable. My ears ended up being a big problem and he had to repierce I believe two holes and now that I'm watching them heal, I can see along my lobes, that they are not even on either side. I would probably suggest going somewhere that does piercing on a regular basis rather than the side business of a tattoo shop. Especially if you need follow up or after care checks.

Virgo symbol on finger

Came in as a walk-in after work a few weeks ago, not expecting to be seen but most likely needing an appointment. I wanted a small Virgo symbol on my finger next to my ring finger to represent my recently deceased grandmother, and it my sign as well. I was very happy and surprised when I was able to be taken care of on the spot. He was very nice and even touched up my heart tattoo that I already had. Though the minimum was $80 and I only got two small things I enjoyed the experience and the fact that I was seen as a walk in so I tipped $20. Despite all that, I am very disappointed in how it turned out. And that's the reason for my rating. The lines are fairly jagged and inconsistent, and it's not thick enough. I 14 tattoos so I'm fairly aware of aftercare. And while I have really thin fingers other artists didn't have issues with my other fingers. Maybe I got unlucky. I don't see myself returning unfortunately.

Right after

Got spur of the moment tattoos one night with my friend. This was right after it was done vs a few months after. Ruined my side boob. It's patchy, lines are horrible. Will never go back. The color literally fell out... and now it's just scared. (No not my first)

I went here to get matching tattoos with my mom for my birthday. It was a little pricey for tattoos that were only about 1 square inch. Nick did an amazing job! I only regret that he didn't do my moms as well. Her tattoo turned out terrible! Looks like it was done by a 5 year old that got a hold of a tattoo gun. Yikes! Well maybe that's a little dramatic. You be the judge, I will post a picture. My moms tattoo also got infected :( I hope that maybe Nick can fix it. That's our best hope. Only 3 stars for quality control. Otherwise they were very nice.

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!

first, I'm going to say Ross who works at this facility is an awesome tattoo artist. I took my…read moredaughter to see him and he gave her her first tattoo. I also have a friend who has received a few tattoos from him. He was fair, culturally appropriate, and made the experience enjoyable for all involved. I arrived to my session 15 minutes late (different artist) However, the tattoo artist did not pull me back until 45 minutes after my initial arrival time. The sketch he showed me the day before ended up being the final draft, when he put the stencil on me and of course I did not like it, I vocalized it, as I sat in the chair, thinking we'd have a conversation about changes... he began to reprimanded me like I was a child!!! I have six tattoos, I have never been more offended, walking into a place to work with a person. It's like he was trying to get a rise out of me (not who I am, sir) When I tried to approach it maturely (asking open-ended questionsand for clarity), he continued to make it inappropriate and uncomfortable (in front of others and attempting to adding colleagues to the discussion) using the excuse of "this is permanent, then I have a family to feed, and last you seem unsure" as his way out of doing the tattoo as opposed to just telling me he didn't wanna work with me. I felt embarrassed, vulnerable, rejected, and dismissed by this man... I have never cried at a tattoo parlor previously, and I will never be back to this one. He said that he was trying not to make my experience worse!!!!! While making it the worst experience I have ever had... he was culturally inappropriate, passive aggressive, and he was clearly offended by my dislike of the sketching he was using as a final draft to put on my arm. Even when I showed him another version of something that I wanted, he made a big deal out of it and then started talking about time. What an inconsiderate human... I even tried to leave him the deposit I put down for my tattoo because of his need to feed his family. Fortunately, they gave it back to me. This is my truth it is valid ... the end... how many black people do you see in the photos (many???) and when you are the owner asking people to be on your side of course they will they work with you dude.

It was a little a little difficult to make an appointment since there is no website posted and it's appointment only. I tried calling for a little over a week and no one would answer the phone and finally a lady answered. I check to see if they had any same day appointments, but they didn't and she said she had to send me a link to book an appointment. The link sends you to book an appointment in which you pick the piercing service you want for each service you must put down a partial non refundable deposit for the time you book ad they are reserving that time slot just for you based on the service (s) you need. This place must be a popular place to go to for piercings because they were 2 weeks out for that next available appointment. I arrived a little early in case I needed to fill out and liability paperwork. I waited a few minutes before being greeted. The lady came out the back about 10 mins into my appointment time. I wanted to go over the jewelry I wanted instead of the surgical stainless steel jewelry. They have 14K jewelry and titanium and I forgot the other metal. I originally 14k jewelry but they only had yellow gold and I preferred white gold, but they didn't have it for the piercings I was getting. The piercings I got was the spider bite, Monroe and tongue. The jewelry I went with is Titanium jewelry instead. They gave me a nice discount for the amount of piercings and jewelry pieces I got. They are a little higher than other places that do piercings, but I'd leather pay for quality over quantity. The gentleman who did my piercings I forgot his name, but he was very patient with me with the area I wanted pierce. Allowed me to take my time with the positioning on the piercings until I was satisfied. He went through the process with my and recommended products to use to prevent infections and proper healing. I was told to come back in a week to make sure my piercings are healing nicely no extra charge for that and to downsize the jewelry if needed. I highly recommend coming here if you want a clean quality place to get your piercings. I will definitely be back if I decide to get more piercings.
