Only been once but that one time is definitely enough for a customer to consider this place a favorite. Nicky Hennerez was great! and I will continue to reach out to him for his amazing work with tattoos! Read Less

I got my navel pierced by Nick. He was great! He walked me through the process, explaining the tools he was going to use and keeping me comfortable by engaging in conversation with me. The girl at the front desk was so kind and helped me set up a time to get pierced and called me when a sooner time opened up. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone, from first timers looking to get pierced to those who are looking for more body jewelry to add. They are very kind to everyone who walks through!

Had SUCH an amazing piercing experience with Scott! Very thorough in explanation and made me feel so comfortable about the process and aftercare instructions. Also, super hygienic. 10/10 recommend. Will be going back!! Thank you, Lucky Bird! I love my piercing. Read Less

This place is the best!!!! I went in and sat down with Walt and he listened to what exactly I wanted. I got two small tattoos and one medium size one in a sitting. He was great! I actually moved away and I noticed one of my tattoos healed with thinner lines than what I wanted so I reached out to him. I just so happen to come into town for work and he was to squeeze me in while I was in town. Walt is awesome! This is the cleanest tattoo shop I've ever been in! I will definitely be back when I'm in town :) Read Less

I got my nose pierced here and it was a really great experience. It was a super welcoming and professional environment. My piercer was obviously very experienced. He explained the process in depth and answered any questions I had. He made me feel very comfortable and told me if I had any concerns about my piercing to contact him for advice. I've been following the after care routine and my piercing is healing well and looks super good. I highly recommend this place. I will definitely be back to get a tattoo and/or another piercing.

Josh C. Is an amazing artist! All in all the experience was very clean, professional, and like nothing I've experienced before. I highly recommend lucky bird and can't wait to get all my future tattoos here! Read Less

This place is clean, the staff are friendly, and the environment is welcoming. Everyone was so accommodating and helpful. My artist, Joshua was so engaging and truly brought my idea to life. Amazing experience. Read Less

My 16 yo daughter and I had ear cartilage piercings and they are 100% clean and sterile and very professional it felt like a medical procedure- and I'm a healthcare worker! Excellent service and staff. Read Less

I absolutely can’t say enough good things about this place. The staff is so friendly and welcoming every time I come in it feels like I’m just hanging out with friends. Shana has done two of my tattoos are she’s AMAZING. Her detail, shading and line work are impeccable and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone that wants a quality tattoo. Nick did my fiancé’s first tattoo on his foot and he was also amazing, it was exactly what we wanted. The piercer, Scott has pierced my fiancé as well as changed out jewelry for me. He’s very easy to talk to and makes you feel 100% comfortable during the entire process. If you’re looking to get pierced or tattooed THIS IS YOUR SPOT. Read Less

I had the most pleasant experience with Josh on a Black and gray tattoo on my shoulder blade. I had original art that a friend had made and he did an amazing job translating it into something perfect for skin and ink! His technique is great and I'm so pleased with the end result. Josh is professional, easy to talk with, and very patient. I'm a week out and healing is going fantastic! All around, it was a wonderful experience. The shop was super clean and everyone that I interacted with was engaging and friendly. Read Less

Went here for my first piercing ever besides lobes, and it was great! I got my septum done for $50. No appointments for piercings, they're walk in only. It's probably best to call ahead and ask about the wait times, luckily when I went in there was no one ahead of me, but a small wait due to the piercer, Scott, to do some paper work I believe it was. He's also the manager so I totally understand. I'm a baby around needles but Scott was super nice and calming and got me through it. I'm super happy with my piercing and it's nearly healed it looks like! Aside from a bit of soreness upon touching the piercing or my nose too hard and a little itchiness, there wasnt pain even after the piercing was done. Since I put an email in at the front desk I got a PDF emailed to me all about tattoo and piercing after care. Overall really great first piercing experience! I'll go here again for my piercing needs and def recommend. I would also like to add the guy at the front desk was super welcoming and nice too. I didn't catch his name, but he was super professional and friendly! Read Less

I got my first tattoo here and I had an amazing experience! Everyone is so friendly and very laid back. We drove over an hour to come here, and it was well worth the drive. I will definitely be coming back!! Read Less

So, I chose this place for piercings based on the reviews... and they could not have been more right! I was trying to deal with a touchy situation when I arrived, and right away they made me feel at ease (I'm pretty sure it was Nick who greeted me...thank you thank you!). They were super kind and friendly. Scott is awesome. He explained everything to me, took his time, and made sure I had all the aftercare info. And not to mention having an abundance of patience. No pressure, no pitching; just awesome, friendly people. I am looking for a cover-up next, and I know just where I'm going. Read Less

Came here to get my first professional piercing done (my daith) and wanted it to be done correctly by people I could trust. The reviews proved to be accurate and I couldnt be happier with the excellent job Scott did to make sure everything went smoothly and I was comfortable. The shop was impeccably clean and the staff was very friendly. Read Less

I got 6 piercings done here! Scott (the main piercer) was very knowledgeable of what he was doing, he was caring and considerate. The place was clean, good price compared to other piercing shops, with GREAT staff! Can't wait to come back here. Read Less

This review is for a helix and a lobe piercing by Scott.I was a walk in, 30-40 min wait (no biggie). The guy at the front desk was extremely friendly.Scott was super nice and helped me pick out the location and jewelry (ring versus post) to pierce with. He let my friend go back with me (she got a septum piercing after). Let her record it and was really good at making sure you felt comfortable. Both piercings look great, I'll add photos later.He gave us a run down on care, did not try to salesman you into buying anything extra, and was really honest and informative.I'd highly recommend going to him. Also, first jewelry change is free and free follow up chats if you have any concerns. Read Less

Always have gotten my work done by Tyler.  Always does great work and pays attention to all the details to make your tattoo great.  The other plus is everyone else here is great also, you can't go wrong.  One of the best shops in Maryland. Read Less

I took my 15 year old daughter here today to get her nostril pierced. We were told by the guy at the front desk that due to Maryland state law, they couldn't pierce anyone under 16...even with a parent's permission. I had never heard of this law but whatever. We left. I got home later that evening and tried to find this law on the internet. It doesn't exist. I called a different shop and they said no law existed and they would do it as long as I was there to give consent.I called Lady Bird back to ask about that state law. The piercer I spoke to said he thinks there is a law but didn't really know what the laws are. He said it was more of a shop policy because of the things they have in the shop. He said minors shouldn't be in there. What!? Thanks for feeding me a line of bull to get me out the door. If it's your shop policy to not allow minors in your shop, just say so. No need to make up some crap about state laws that don't exist.I'll take my business elsewhere. Read Less

Called the shop after a friend of mine recommended it . I was told to send in a picture via email of what I wanted to have done and someone would call me back with a day and time .  Never heard back from anyone Read Less

Rodd Diaz is an amazing artist. Highly recommend him for anyone's next piece. Every artist that works at LB are extremely friendly and very personable. The LB environment is very welcoming and the artists (including the receptionist) takes a plethora amount of time to understand the customer's needs and wants. This place is defiantly rated high from a girl who recently received a beautiful memorial piece. Read Less

Just finished another couple great tattoos at Lucky Bird. Shannon has now done 4 on my arm and I couldn't be happier. One of my favorite things about this shop is how friendly and laid back everyone is. From the dudes that run the front getting you set up to the owner himself dropping in to say what's up, I've always had such an awesome experience. If you're looking for a new spot like I was after moving, look no further. I won't go anywhere else. Read Less

Can't say enough good things about this place and the folks who work here. They're slogan "because nice matters" really says it all: super nice, down-to-earth people with amazing talent to boot. The shop is super clean and you'll always be met with a smile whether you're an appointment or a walk-in. I can't wait for my next session with Jeffy! � Read Less

Got my daughters nosed pierced here. As far as that goes service was great. Unlike most other tattoo shops Lucky Bird strives to break the stigma of the same old grumpy tattoo parlors. Everyone was nice and made us feel warm and welcomed and made us feel like they were happy we came in. 10/10 will use again.Read Less

Came about two months ago and was tattooed by Shana. Amazing artist and this is by far one of the best tattoos I've gotten! I completely trust this shop to do great work and even fully healed, my tattoo looks as bright as it did on day one. Read Less

I had an amazing experience with Jeffy and Tyler.   In originally sought a consult with Jeffy who referred me to Tyler based on my request.  I am reworking a bunch of old tattoos to make one cohesive piece.  Tyler is doing this for me and accepted the job willingly and with grace.  He spent time on our first appointment sketching on my leg piece.  Then he worked on outlines for an 3.5 hours.  I'm now beside myself excited to see it come to fruition.  It will take many more visits however I'm glad for him and the work.  My outlines look amazing and in a few weeks he will be doing more.  Can't wait. Read Less

This was my first tattoo ever. I met with Shannon a couple days before to discuss my design. Two days later, it was on my right shoulder! He did an amazing job! The studio has private rooms. It was clean, and everyone was professional and accommodating. I would recommend this place! Read Less

Parry and the whole crew at Lucky Bird are absolutely the best. Everyone is super friendly and welcoming, and the quality of all of the tattoos walking out the door is amazing. I couldn't be happier with the piece Parry did for me, and I can't wait to come back for my next one! Read Less

Professional, talented. I have 4 tattoos, 3 bad ones and an excellent one from Lucky Bird. Thank you Shannon for the excellent work - looking forward to working with you on the next on. And thank you George, the unsung hero in the shop, for taking the time to walk me through pre and post with scheduling, after care, contacts, and information. Read Less

Shana did a memorial tattoo for my baby who passed away a few weeks ago of an elephant with a balloon...The work was excellent! Her line work is perfect! I love my new tattoo and would definitely have her do another one for me���� Thank you so much!! Read Less

Awesome shop for piercings and tattoos! Very clean and very professional! Scott was amazing for my piercing and Walt was awesome as usual for my tattoo! Thanks so much to everyone at Lucky Bird! I will definitely be back again! Read Less

Had my third tattoo done here about 3 years ago, still looks great! Rod did such a great job, he took the time to get the details how I wanted it and had multiple options for size to make sure it was perfect for where I wanted it placed. The shop is clean, everyone was so nice and professional. I will always return for more tattoos in the future! Read Less

Everytime I come to this shop I always have a great experience, whether its for a tattoo appointment or piercing advice. Everyone in the shop is very knowledgeable, friendly and professional! Definitely a great shop for all piercing and tattoo needs! Ive been tattooed by Shana and Jeffy, both who are very talented and have given me beautiful pieces that I love! Read Less

Just finished a full arm sleeve with the shop owner Parry. It's the third piece he has done for me and I have loved every second of being in his chair. Parry is a great guy, very accommodating, fun to be around and absolutely world class at his craft. Frankly, Everyone after the shop is cool as can be and extremely talented. I highly recommend lucky bird tattoo to any and everyone. Thanks for the sick are work Parry! Read Less

I would like to sincerely thank, Tyler McKinney, for giving me the greatest tattoo I could have ever imagined. He designed a Blk n' Gray, Battle Angel Alita custom tattoo that is on my hip/thigh. The piece means  a lot to me and I've been holding off getting the tattoo for over 10 years in pursuit of finding a highly skilled artist in a professional environment. I was extremely lucky to come across Lucky Bird Tattoo. The Lucky Bird Shop itself is very clean, welcoming and professional. They have everything to make you comfortable during your tattoo experience. They take the time to really make sure you are getting exactly what you want as well as educating you on realistic expectations and tattoo care practices. I enjoyed my tattoo experience very much thanks to Tyler McKinney and I cannot wait to get more tattoos from this artist in the future!Sincerely,Dani Read Less

After doing extensive research, I decided to reach out to Lucky Bird Tattoo for my next tattoo masterpiece.  I called the shop and was greeted by such a friendly and nice employee, Jeff. I was really impressed by his friendliness and professionalism. Not sure about anyone else, but I'm use to calling/visiting tattoo shops and being rushed and dismissed with the quickness. Not at this award winning shop. They welcome you and your ideas with open arms. Don't come in here looking for a "look-book" because this is a custom tattoo shop.  Jeff inquired about my next piece and asked me to email him some ideas on what I would like to have done. A few hours after he received the email, he called me back. I missed the initial call-back, so when I returned his call, I ended up speaking with Scott. The baton was passed to him and he checked out my email and suggested a couple of artists on staff that would be perfect for the job. All of the artists have their specialties and if they don't feel comfortable with doing a tattoo that you're requesting, they will suggest another artist more suitable to your needs. That's a class act in my opinion. I am very impressed at how unselfish the artists operate. They put the customers satisfactory needs above their own selfish monetary needs.  He suggested that Shana would be perfect for what I was looking for. I made an appointment for a consultation with Shana. I showed up for the consultation and she picked my brain with ideas and thoughts on my vision. She suggested I send her an email with some photos of my thoughts. When I arrived for my actual appointment a week later, she showed me what she came up with and got right to work. It was absolutely beautiful! Shana did a phenomenal job with putting my vision on actual paper and since she's a perfectionist the time she spent working on my tat was well executed! I'm highly impressed with the job she's done with my tattoo thus far.  I can only imagine when she's 100% complete how it will turn out. This tattoo shop is unlike any I've ever visited - it's very bright, inviting and modern. The tattoo rooms can all be converted into private rooms. Every staff member I encountered was really friendly and welcoming. I also appreciate that they have an actual front desk person that handles the meet and greet, Q&A, and payments. That way, the tattoo artists aren't pulled away for front desk work. They're so cool here and the receptionist, my girl, Emily, greeted me and offered me to either have a seat while I wait or come back and chill with the other staff that wasn't busy. I was treated like one of the family. When I came back to get my tattoo, she made sure to come in a few times to check on how my artwork was coming. Such an amazing person and a true people person! A $150 deposit is required to book a session, so come prepared - if you're really serious.  (Cash or Credit) That deposit goes toward your actual tattoo. Lucky Bird charges $150 per hour for tattoos. They aren't nickeling and diming you because Shana didn't charge me for the outlay/outline of my tattoo. Check your calendar for dates because they have a no cancellation and no refund policy, so make sure the date you choose is the date you'll be available to get your tattoo.  Be sure to note that Saturday's are their busy day, so book early. Since my tattoo will require a few more sessions before it's complete, I'm so glad I found a tattoo shop that has a staff that has patience and takes such pride in their craft. It's nothing like entering into a tattoo shop hearing the needles buzzing, the artists trash talking, music blasting and customers eager to get a tattoo or piercing. Gets my adrenaline pumping each and every time - the shading, not so much. Yikes! lol! Read Less

1. The shop itself:This place is beautiful. As soon as you walk in, you will be warmly greeted by someone. It could be staff working the counter or one of the artists. They will do walk-ins if someone isn't with a client, but it's best to make an appointment.It is best to check out the artists BEFORE you go, but if not, someone will be able to help you if they have a break. There is a style for everyone at LB. Anything from American Traditional to New School is here (sorry no trash-polka I think).There is no flash to browse (although some of the artists have pre-made stencils if you'd like).Each artist has his/her own booth that reflects their personality. It's private as it needs to be and still open. It's a great atmosphere, light-hearted but professional.The artists charge by the hour, but they are good, fast workers. You're not paying for them to goof off. Like I said, they are professionals.2. The Artists:a. Shana HallShana is a super talented artist. I've received 3 tattoos from her. She is an expert in color theory, while not being afraid of black. Her deep commitment to bold and black makes her color leap off the skin. My first tattoo from Shana was a TCB (Elvis emblem). My second tattoo was something that I wanted and she delivered. I asked her for a great white shark and she blew away my expectation. I also have a military tribute piece.b. Shannon TaberShannon is a super talented artist. I have 2 tattoos from Shannon. One was a convention piece that I brought to him and he was gracious enough to give me exactly what I wanted. My second piece was my idea and his design. I asked for a Macho-Man Randy Savage in a neo-traditional style. Without hesitation, Shannon said yes (ooh yeah). I couldn't have been more satisfied.Both of my artists are awesome and I'd recommend them to anyone. My wife also has two from Shana and one from Shannon. I've been in the shop several times and all the artists are really down to earth, cool people. We love Lucky Bird. Read Less

Followed my artist here, so Iam not going to review base on him, of course he is amazing! That's why I followed him!!! (Adam Harrison)This is based solely on the shop alone.I went in for my first visit for a consult, the shop is easy to access and has plenty of parking (around back).When I first walked in I was greeted and helped promptly. The front desk dude (can't remember his name) was super friendly and helpful, I went to my artists room for my consult and noticed the whole shop was very clean and well designed. Each artist has a private space that is open at the same time, it was a cool lay out. I scheduled my appointment and put down my deposit. One thing to keep in mind, which wasn't an issue at all for me, is that the deposit is non refundable and non transferable, so don't be dumb. When I went in for my tattoo I got to meet some of the other artist and everyone seemed really cool and down to earth. The way you would expect a tattoo studio to be. Iam excited my artist came here, can't wait to go back! Read Less
