My wife and I were walk ins, and we were able to be accommodated within half an hour which was great. We both got tattoos and were happy with the service. Chair side was pleasant and we chatted away with our Australian artist. We both have multiple tattoos, so we knew the post tattoo care routine. After a couple of days my red ink began to work its way out and I took extra care to keep it from becoming scabbed and infected. I thought it was just my body not handling that color well and it would heal. Β I thought it was odd that the black healed perfectly, and the red was becoming infected. Now this wasn't isolated only to me. My wife had the same reaction on her arm and only with the red ink, while the black healed beautifully. Very odd indeed as it wasn't isolated only to me. After a week our skin became raised and very painful, so we saw our doctor. I thought perhaps the artist dug too deep and that was the cause of the pain. He prescribed a heavy topical antibiotic and chalked it up to bad ink. Now I'm no expert on tattoo ink, it's shelf life or longevity, but to have two people, tattooed with the same ink, have terrible reactions, have the surrounding tattoo heal perfectly fine, and have two very visible tattoos that look like they were done in my kitchen, is alarming. In hindsight, I wish we would have researched somewhere more reputable. We did a quick yelp check, everything seemed A Ok, so we made a hasty decision and got our work done at Lady Luck. It has now been one month post tattoo. We both still have Β our sections of red and the red script raised. The color has now turned from a vibrant red to a ruddy red and the script is hard to read. We are still caring for the red while the black healed within days. Eventually it will heal and we will both have to get work done to repair and recolor, if that will even be possible. You can bet that we won't be coming back for that service. The only thing worse than the color of red on our arms is the color of red from embarrassment when people see our tattoos. Read Less
