All the artists and clients for that matter were awesome--so friendly and warm and excited to see everyone's work. I love that it's a woman-owned studio and further, Katie the owner is so talented and lovely. The studio is smaller so you can see a ton of art on the walls, which I loved since it distracted me from my tattoo. ALSO: there is amazing food and drinks within walking distance. Halal Munchies is next door which is perfect pre-tattoo food, then there is TT's boba shop a little further down. I'd never been to either and they were perfect. I can't wait to come back here for my next tattoo!

My daughter wanted a tattoo for her birthday so we headed to Lucky 13 around Noon on a Saturday in…read morehopes we could beat the crowd. We went to Lucky 13 a couple years ago and really enjoyed the experience so we knew this was the perfect place to go. As soon as we walked in, it was pretty packed. I planned on getting a piercing but when my daughter and sister consulted about a tattoo, they were about 5-6 people ahead of them but they put their name on the list in hopes it wouldn't be too long of a wait. The piercing area was a little busy but the wait wasn't long at all. The majority of their piercings are $20 so I decided on the Forward Helix and my Third Ear Lobe piercing. My piercer was great and made sure I liked the placement before piercing my ears. While we waited, I also bought new jewelry for my Naval, Tragus and Rook piercings, which they changed out for me. With jewelry being only $10, I felt like a kid in a candy store lol. Unfortunately after about an hour, my daughter and sister didn't move up in the wait list so my sister decided to get a Tragus and Second Ear Lobe piercing and we decided to leave. The service at Lucky 13 is great and with it being a pretty popular spot, expect long waits for tattoos! They open at Noon on Saturdays so definitely be there as soon as they open to avoid long waits. I absolutely love the pricing of the piercing. For $90, I got 3 piercings and 3 pieces of jewelry. Definitely check them out! Update: My Forward Helix jewelry did fall out after about a week so make sure the jewelry is very secure before leaving.

This place is NASTY…read more Unprofessional. Unorganized. The piercer grabbed my jewelry with his bare hands and asked the counter girl if I needed it installed. I said, I can install it myself. Please run my jewelry through an autoclave. The piercer said that he did not have time to run my jewelry through an autoclave. An autoclave takes 7 minutes for jewelry. It should be done by the counter assistant for each, and every client. EVERY TIME!!!!! The piercer was also smoking his vape in the studio in front of his customers. This place does don't follow A.P.P guidelines (Association Of Professional Piercers); And should be shut down immediately. After calling the piercer out in front of his Customers he told me to "Get the F out of his shop" Yeah... I think I will.. Before I catch AIDS!!!

Needless to say , it was a now or never decision since my friend was moving back to TX . I would HIGHLY suggest purchasing a numbing cream and giving it time to set before starting your tattoo. I will probably be getting 1 or 2 more small ones and it will definitely be with Lucy Day .

He asked me to send him some pictures I liked and detail what it was that I liked about them. I showed up for my appointment and Mike had four designs for me to choose from. I liked them all and made my decision. I chose a fairly large phoenix for my upper arm. Mike worked on it for about an hour and a half. The outline and background are done but I had to schedule the coloring of it for another time. Mike did an excellent job and gave very clear aftercare instructions. I love it and can't wait to see it colored. It's truly art. I'll add a picture to this review after it's colored in. I have several more tats that I want and I will definitely be back to American Classic Tattoo to get them.

I literally got my tattoo yesterday, and I could not be happier. Frankee (@carrion.beetle on…read moreInstagram) did such an amazing job with capturing the essence of my baby boy. I was a little worried about the tattoo process, but Frankee explained all the steps and helped walk me through what he was doing. At first, the tattoo was not how I exactly imagined it when he sent me a draft the night before, BUT he was able to mesh my ideas and his own style to create The Most Perfect tattoo. I was honestly in shock when I first saw the end product and ended up in a daze LOL. I am obsessed with my tattoo, and my friends all agree that it captures my son so well. Frankee was also really considerate of my incredibly low social battery and asked about my preference for talking or just vibing and listening to music. Anyways, 10/10 experience and recommend Frankee to the highest degree. Thank you again, Frankee (plus all the nice staff members I encountered)!
