You want the best, hit up Dave and his team of artists. The shop is clean and inviting! I've spent dozens of hours here over the last several months and l have had absolutely no issues whatsoever. read more

Went here to get a small walk in tattoo, it was great. Artist worked quickly and I got exactly what I wanted (although the tattoo was quite simple). It is all healed up now and still looking good. read more

dave is the best! super reasonable and good at his job!! very clean and good environment to get a tattoo!

My boyfriend and I received a tattoo on Friday the 13th of 2023, I understand Chris was the only one there and wasn't originally going to do Halloween tattoos but my boyfriend paid $100 for our tattoos .. and mine looks extremely rushed. I definitely have to go get a touch up and this is my first tattoo. My boyfriend's tattoo is low quality for the price and there's a couple blow outs in it, near Gengar's feet, with it being so basic it shouldn't have been that hard. I will include pictures, plus the artist Chris chose the easiest part of the hand. The vibe of the shop was ok, he kept going out for smoke breaks and he never washed his hands after the smoke breaks. He was rushing anyone who called the store he said "if no one is here by the time I'm done, I'm gone because I've been here since 10 am." And same for people who walked in. read more

I wasn't planning on writing this review. Normally I don't write bad reviews. Actually I don't write reviews at all, but it's been well over a week and I cannot stop thinking about this. I've finally decided that unfortunately my first review on yelp is going to be a bad one, and only because I want to prevent this from happening to someone else. Sometime in May 2020 I came into the lucky prick tattoo shop and met an artist named Tork, I believe. After discussing some ideas of what I would want tork drew up a beautiful peonies flower for me. Obviously flowers are a pretty common request in the tattoo industry but this piece was costum and every flower is different in real life. My point being is if another girl asked to have a peonies tattooed the chances of her getting the exact peonies flower (line work, leaf placement, pedals, additional flowers surrounding the peonies) are pretty low. Especially because like I said I was paying for a custom piece. Well to my surprise Tork recently had a costumer approach him saying she liked my tattoo. In my experience with artists they will not tattoo the same tattoo that is already on someone else they will infact tattoo something similar though. Not in this case though. Tork happily agreed to tattoo my exact custom stencil that I paid him for generiously onto another arm 7 months later... MY ARTIST. I can understand another artist stealing my piece and tattooing it on another exactly, it's still fucked up but it is more common, but for my artist to take a piece I bought from him and tattoo it again? Am I fucking misunderstanding something? I feel like I should be refunded. This I feel lacks any respect for the industry. I reached out to tork about the situation and was met with a bullshit response let me tell you. I'll attach pictures for reference. I just want to make clear that just because he did an entire sleeve of flowers does not justify recycling my exact stencil for the piece. Maybe he was lacking originality that day, or maybe he was feeling a bit lazy and just thought ohh well it's what she wants and it saves me time trying to draw up a new stencil. I'm not so fucking sure. To wrap this review up. If you would like to see your expensive, sentimental, custom tattoo also tattooed on stranger... we'll tork is your guy! read more

Went in for a walk in today and saw Chris. Got something simple that holds a lot of meaning and he made it better than I ever could have imagined. Shading is spot on and I'm super satisfied with the work he did. Definitely recommend him for any of your tattoo needs! He was friendly, quick, efficient, and his work really shows how talented he is. Thanks Chris! Will see you again soon for more work! read more

I messaged Dave and he got back to me extremely quickly and was able to get me in for an appointment the week of. The process was super relaxed and easy. The space is clean and modern. I'd highly recommend! read more

Normally I don't do reviews, let alone bad reviews but I feel this one is warranted. I recently got a tattoo by Chris Evans at Lucky Prick Tattoo on 32nd St and Bell Rd. Let me start by saying, I have gotten a previous tattoo by Chris and it's one of my absolute favorite ones. Fast forward to this past Saturday I went back to have him do more work on the same arm and same area as the first one he did. By Monday my arm had been in so much pain. I can barely bend it and it is on fire. I decided to remove the wrap that he had originally put on around 5pm monday because it was full of what I thought was sweat and figured that wasn't good for the tattoos healing process. After removing the wrap and washing it with Dial soap, I was shocked at what I saw. (See Pictures) I honestly don't know how to even put it into words, what I thought was sweat was actually puss.I contacted Chris right away as well as sent the pictures I'm posting to him. I called the shop and asked him to look at the pictures I sent him. His overall response was 1) Absolutely no money back and 2) let it heal , come see him and he'll "fix" it. As if I'd let the person who originally destroyed my arm try to "fix it", and that's praying that it's even fixable. It's as if he thought my arm was a piece of wood and carved the tattoo into it. Look, I could on for days about how wrong this is but the bottom line is he's not willing to make it right. And "fixing it" isn't making it right in my eyes. My arm is in excruciating pain and I wouldn't wish this on anyone. BE CAREFUL who you let tattoo you. #scarredforlife UPDATE: The shop owner reached out to me and said that this happened because I took the wrap off too "early". 1) I wasn't given a time frame on how long to leave it on for 2) the rose I previously had done by Chris (the rose in the pictures posted) I took the wrap off "too early" and it's perfectly fine. I also mentioned to the shop owner about previous reviews they have with people having similar issues. I specifically brought up the finger tattoo review where it was just a scab and no ink. His response to that was "finger tattoos are a waste of money in my opinion". So Dave , the owner of Lucky Prick tattoo, seems to think that everything is the clients fault. Ultimately he seems to think that I went into his shop, sat my ass down and tattooed my self. I paid Chris 1000$ so I could tattoo myself and carve shit into my arm. ‍ I will be getting a lawyer involved at this point. read more

Came in to the shop about two weeks ago for a small red matching butterfly tattoo with my friend. Was told my artist was the best at hand tattoos and was more than capable. Instead two weeks go by and I literally don't even have a tattoo on my finger he cut open my finger with the tattoo gun. I have multiple tattoos and know what a tattoo should look like once it's done and during the healing period but because I got my tattoo in red ink it just looked like it was tattooed but it was all just blood and scabbed over read more

I wasn't sure what to expect for my first tattoo. The shop was open and clean. The employees were very professional and reassuring. There was a group of us getting the same tat so the stencil was already done. My tat was pretty simple but still the artist explained everything she was doing. I would go back to this shop again! read more

Dave is awesome. He's the best tattoo artist I've had. (I have 3 tattoos.) He knows his shiz. He got my tattoo put together quickly and we got it on in no time. He's reasonably priced and tips are welcome, but not expected. (Though I always think it's appropriate when "service" is this awesome.) The shop is clean. (I appreciate the lack of animals.) He cleans his station before and after the tattoo. I can't say enough... he's that good. I'll be going back. read more

This is the second tattoo I have had done here. Both by Chris Evans and he is amazing! He always creates everything I want and more! He and Eric are super great not only at their jobs but great at conversations during the appointment and it feels like time just flies! Eric is my sisters exclusive tattoo artist and both of them do amazing jobs! You should follow them on Instagram as well to see some of their work. @evansink28 @tres.leche.tattoo read more

Super unprofessional. I came in to get a small line drawing tattoo in red ink and the artist took it upon himself to do the line work in black and white then color in the whole tattoo without clarifying what he was doing. I don't have many tattoos so I didn't notice what he was doing and trusted that it would have been what I asked for. After he was done he proceeded to tell me the design he did was better then what I asked for and still charged me even though the final tattoo looked nothing like the reference photo I showed. The guy who did my tattoo never gave me his name but I am extremely disappointed with my experience here and would definitely not recommend this shop/artist. read more

This shop is the best! All the guys in here do a great job and they are all fun and laid back artists. The shop is extremely clean and simple. I started coming here randomly because it was close to where I lived and after getting tattooed by Tork I won't go anywhere else. Torks line work is amazing and he always adds his own special flare to each piece taking it to the next level! If you are thinking of getting a tattoo here, DO IT. read more

The shop is really nice and it's super clean, all of the staff are very friendly, however I won't be leaving 5 starts because I just feel that the artist that did my friends tattoo, I was there and watched The Whole thing, he rushed through his work, a tattoo that should have taken 45-60 minutes took him about 10, the lines aren't straight and it just seemed like a rushed job. read more

Eric McGuire is amazing! I highly recommend him. Great line work and I'm soooo content with my tattoo. Thank you so much for being so kind and a great artist. You are badass, man. I will be back. 100% read more

Great place! Walked in with 6 other girls for a bachelorette party and they were able to work us in. We had a ton of fun just hanging out and talking to the artists. Our tattoos came out great - lifelong memories! read more

Great people. They made me and my boyfriend feel so welcomed. I appreciated every bit and our matching tats came out awesome. We will definitely go back to get other tats. Thank you Sunday crew read more

Dave was honest and extremely helpful in helping create the perfect and most meaningful piece for me. I highly recommend this shop.

Eric is f**king amazing! He has done every single one of my tattoos. Good, clean, and all around solid work. Highly recommend!

I walked in randomly because I've been dying for a tattoo for my 30th and the first fit said he didn't have time and then Chris came right up to me and said he could do it. I was thinking probably end of week, but he said he could get me in the next day! I was so happy cause I didn't want to wait till the weekend! Came in and was a little nervous cause it was on my side and thigh, but he was very gentle and kept checking on me to make sure I was doing ok! I refuse to go anywhere else for another tattoo and I would recommend anyone to this place and especially recommend Chris! Amazing work and awesome person all around! Thank you! I am so happy!!! read more
