I cannot say enough positive things about this shop and Peter. I came down here from Virginia Beach…read morefor work with the idea of just getting one piece done. I was very lucky Peter said he could fit me and a couple other guys in while in town. The piece came out amazing...to be honest better than we could ever have imagined it from a drawing we provided him. I liked him so much I set up a second session for some more work, and will be getting a third session down before leaving. The price is beyond reasonable, if anything I felt like he wasn't charging enough for the quality of work he provides as an artist. My buddy likes his so much that he will drive the 8 hours back here to finish his sleeve. The shop is very clean and a great atmosphere. I highly recommend stopping by for your first/next tattoo. If Peter is booked, I promise you it would be worth the wait!

Peter was the artist that did my tattoo and his line work is perfect, he's easy to work with, and he even took me and my friend to a local bar (The Wormhole) with all our luggage in tote as our Uber driver real quick. Best customer service ever! I'll definitely be back to visit and get another one from Peter!

My experience was great from the desk to the end of the session…read more I booked an appointment with Alex Paiva a few weeks in advance. I am from Los Angeles and have taken a trip to Savannah to enjoy the city and to see him at this shop for yet another piece. I have collected 5 pieces from him since 2016. I consider Alex to be a collaborator and a partner in this process. He works with my idea and turns it into his vision. He is a natural and a prodigy. My last two pieces have been freehanded with a sharpie in the Japanese style, and they are each nothing less than a masterpiece. Thank you Alex.

I stopped by one week to talk to someone about an idea I saw online and was greeted with friendly faces and a genuine sense that they cared about my ideas. Tried to stop at another large place on W Victory before I found Riverside and was met with a lobby full of people vaping pen devices who acted like they had better things to do then help me out with my idea. Only a few of them at that place acknowledged me and once we started talking they talked very poorly of other artist/shops in the area claiming all their people are the best and that their pricing was the "standard". When I'm ready to get a tattoo I'd rather do it with people who don't act like they are interested or speak poorly about others in their community. Like the people at Riverside Tattoo!

You won't find a better tattoo artist in Savannah than James at Stranded Tattoo. His work is…read morephenomenal! He is a true artist and specializes in custom tattoos. Bring your ideas, sample images and imaginative concepts. This is not the kind of place that you pick a tattoo out of a book. SUPER CLEAN - the place is spotless and well decorated. Lots of original art on the walls, antique clocks, and old 19th century chairs for guests to sit in. Very classy! SUPER SANITARY - James is laser focused on maintaining a safe, sterile and sanitized environment. All tattoo needles are one time use, opened from sealed package and discarded. He goes through crazy number of supplies. New glove every time he has to answer the phone or touch something. He thoroughly washes down tattoo skin area with sanitizing solution. He provides detailed instructions on keeping tattoo clean as it is an open wound when you leave. SUPER ARTISTIC - James is focused on creating an image on your body that will look good in a decade. Many artist only focus on how it looks when you leave their shop. Ink diffuses over time into the fatty tissue. James will tell you if a small detail is too small and therefore the tattoo would need to be bigger or detail is not workable. He told me that all three of my tats needed to be bigger, and he was right. He also is good at understanding how people might interpret a tattoo differently than you intended. Give him your idea and you can be confident that he'll shape it into a design the will withstand time. He has always taken my concepts and worked them into a phenomenal design that was better than I could imagine on my own. HIGH STANDARDS - James is the owner and the tattoo artist. The last guy that worked with him made a comment that his standards were too high. James appreciated his honesty and told him to not come back. He highly respects the fact that he is applying permanent images on people's bodies. SPECIALIZES IN REPAIR - did you get a bad tattoo elsewhere? James is known for covering, fixing, correcting the mistakes that a lesser tattoo artist left on your body. TIPS - All meetings are by appointment. You might walk in and be lucky to catch him available for a consult, but best to call and schedule time. - Expect at least one consultation, if not two, before you schedule a tattoo. Since this is custom work, you need to discuss the job with James, and if complicated enough, you'll have a second consultation to see his proposed sketch of the tattoo for review before he creates the final tattoo template. - Think of meeting James as meeting up with a friend. This isn't a strictly-timed business appointment. He works by himself and has to fetch supplies, he gets stuck in traffic, and he answers phone calls...just like you. You might arrive at the shop before James does for your scheduled appointment. That's ok. - James will turn down jobs that he doesn't want to be associated with. For example, during my first tattoo, someone came in asking to get a My Little Pony musical note on their rear. James said no. Another guy wanted a design with a boy below the underwear line and James said no. The latter tattoo was well intentioned but James refused on basis for how it could be interpreted. - Heavy Metal - if you like it, then you are aligned with James's music taste. If you don't like it, then learn to appreciate it since you'll be hearing it for hours upon hours during your tattoo. - Illegal to drink before getting a tattoo. Don't do it. If James can tell you are under the influence then he probably will not be able to give you a tattoo that day. - Illegal to bring kids inside the tattoo shop. I believe you need to be 18, but double check if you have need to bring in someone younger.

Everyone I interacted with at the shop was friendly and professional. The place is super clean, and they play good music. Please understand that this isn't one of those shops that you can just walk into randomly and get a tattoo in a couple hours, it's by appointment only. These artists are top notch, and their schedule reflects that. With that in mind, I did see them helping people find the right artist, even if it wasn't in their shop. To me that says they care about people and the art of tattooing. 10/10 would recommend!

Love seeing art on skin, but also love seeing what artists do with paint, canvas, wood, etc. Good Fortune has plenty of unique art to admire. Kim Reed's been tattooing me since 2009 and i can't say enough about what an amazing artist and person she is....since I started seeing her I have no desire to have work done by anyone else. Her work is feminine and gorgeous. I really enjoyed the privacy and quiet of this space, having had her tattoo me at Anonymous, the Butcher and now here. Getting ink is almost a zen experience for me, and each tattoo is a deliberate expression of my experiences and beliefs. Spending the time having the tattoo we started in January finished was the perfect venue for me to relax and just think about the "why" of the tattoo she was coloring in for me. Can't recommend Good Fortune enough if you are in the Savannah area!!
