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!

Everyone was super friendly, very welcoming despite her asking about getting a sleeve as a walk in, and in the end we ended up with way more jeweler than I expected her to buy. She got some jewelry changed out, and I came away with a new piercing. Overall, we definitely had fun and got some really cute jewelry

If you're looking to get pierced, definitely make an appointment with Nycole! The whole experience…read morewith her was outstanding, from consultation about the best piercing for my anatomy, jewelry selection, and then the piercings themselves. She recommended a double nostril when I was torn between a nostril and a septum...I didn't even know it was an option and it was the perfect solution for me--I'm so happy with it! We did three piercings at once, and all went so smoothly...truly did not feel them at all. She put me at ease during, and her aftercare instructions were great and they all healed beautifully. Can't recommend her enough (and have more planned soon so will also be scheduling with her!!). Thanks so much, Nycole!

I love this, it's probably my favorite piercing. The guy at the desk answering all my questions I didn't get your name, but thank you very much as well ! 4 stars only because of pricing.

He and I talked about he had been through a similar experience several years before. Without trying to sound corny as hell, he was what I needed right then. I live several hours from Richmond but I will make the trip again.

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!!!

His artwork was whimsical and captures our desire to have a meaningful but sweet little ewe to remind us of who we are in our zany family. Sarah talked about celestial and zodiacal things, tattoo after care and her admiration for Steve's designs (of which she has a number!). The parlor does have a $150 minimum - which is kinda pricey for the size tats we got, but we wouldn't have traded the experience for a few less dollars spent. Each tattoo took about 30 mins. If these NYers ever stop in Richmond again - you can be sure we will make a detour to Two Pillars again!
