Been wanting this tat for years. Just happened a artist was passing by the gas station I stopped my scoot to burn a square. Had a good time getting it, although the clench headache I had after was so bad I fell asleep at the cigar bar smoking a stogie and drinking a beer. Gonna get more soon. Read Less

Couldn't ask for a better place to get a tattoo. They appreciate the fact that you are choosing them to put something on your body permanently. They made sure that I was happy with the design, with the placement, and he gave me my money's worth. Customer service is also off the charts, everyone made sure to take care of anyone that walked in. Professional, courteous, and perfect. Much love Read Less

AMAZING. not only can the staff do amazing work, but their customer service is A1. while i was getting my work done, rickie made sure that everyone who walked through the door was immediately taken care of. They answered all of my basic questions (that I’m sure they’re annoyed with answering), without hesitation and with a smile on their face. If you’re looking for a clean & helpful place to get your tattoo, Rickies is the place to go. Hands down. Read Less

Not only does Rickie excel at his craft, he is a great conversationalist with a wide array of knowledge. He has an easy peace about him, that allows first time customers to relax and enjoy the experience. I have three tattoo's and I wouldn't let anyone but Rickie work on me. He's a wonderful artist who cares about the quality of his work, as well as the client's happiness. #rickiestattoos #lakecharlesoldesttattooshop Read Less
