Lucky Dagger Tattoo

Probably the best tattoo shop experience I've had thus far!! I only wish I would have found them sooner!

After finding the shop based on proximity to where I was staying and its high ratings, I stopped by in person to ask some questions to see if the shop would be a good fit/would be able to accommodate my preferred tattoo style.

I had the chance to speak to the artist I'd be working with that day. From that first conversation to my actual appointment, Keith was so respectful, patient, and kind. He did everything he could to make sure I felt comfortable and heard throughout the process and took his time to make sure we got the placement just right for the tattoo.
I've been to a lot of shops who have been dismissive and downright rude when I ask if they do white ink, but Keith was very accommodating and cool about my request.

The good vibes extended out to the rest of the staff I encountered, too. Another artist who happened to be onsite was also super helpful and offered feedback/advice for placement while we were applying the stencil and gave solid advice before starting the tattoo process. I really appreciated how supportive the artists were of each other, willing to collaborate and listen to feedback.

I was also incredibly appreciative that they offered pasties so I could keep the girls semi-covered while getting my sternum tattooed. They even offered to put up an extra curtain if I wanted additional privacy. The shop was clean, well setup, and very comfortable. I most definitely will be back the next time I'm in town!

When I lost my furbaby in June I knew I wanted to memorialize her with a tattoo and I spent weeks researching tattoo shops and artists. As fate would have it, I found Angel at Lucky Dagger. I loved her work, particularly how she did animals with fur. She makes them look so realistic. This was my first tattoo and was extremely ambitious, but she was enthusiastic and gracious enough to offer to split the work into different sessions. In the end I sat for the full 5 hours and she could not have been any more encouraging or engaging. Angel was an absolute joy to work with and I will be forever grateful to her for making my girl, in all her glory, a literal part of me.

We visited for my birthday and started coordinating a couple weeks beforehand. I loved what the shop stood for and the vibe was even better. Clare was fantastic for my husband and I and now we have our beautiful first tattoos thanks to her.

Some friends and I were traveling to New Orleans from out of town and wanted to get coordinating tattoos. We found Lucky Dagger online and immediately wanted to support a progressive, woman-owned business. We submitted a request and received an email back pretty quickly. We gave our artist (Clare) some pictures for inspiration and we were so happy with what she designed for us. It was my first tattoo and Clare was mindful of that and super gentle. It was a really positive experience. I loved the vibe of the whole shop and I would definitely come back for another tattoo.

I got a tattoo with Jacqui today and the attention and care she put into it was incredible. You can tell this is a very experienced artist. Other staff in the shop at the time were super friendly and funny. Great neighborhood vibes all around. Will 100% be coming back.

Loved everything about our experience! The minute we walk in for our appointment everyone was so nice. Everyone was helping us when we had questions about the paper. (One of our party had just turned 18) Clare was our artist and she is AMAZING. We had 3 tattoos done for a girls trip. There were details that we were unsure about with the tattoo. Clare took the time and listened and made several drawing and even helped us when we couldn't decide what to do. It was one of the best tattoo experiences I've had ever. I do not live in the area but I'm more than willing to drive the 4 hours to come here for all future tattoo work.

Absolutely love this tattoo shop! First you are welcomed by artists and front desk staff... whom are all so wonderful and lovely! We were on a dinner time crunch and they were able to get us in and out before we knew it! Yes, there were two of us getting tattooed one after the other. She was so fast and light-handed I am still to this day shocked! Love love my tattoo and when we visit again you will definitely be seeing me! Thank you Clare!!

Clare was awesome! We were visiting for Mardi Gras and wanted to get a couple voodoo doll tattoos. She communicated with us ahead of time. We got there and she was ready to go. Highly recommend!

Super friendly and accommodating service. Queer-positive environment, and really worked to squeeze me in on a minimal custom design walk -in with Keith while I was visiting. Highly recommended, especially for greyscale and illustration styles. Also appreciated that artists are still masking and thinking about community health during this pandemic. I'm really picky about my tattoo artists and had a great atmosphere of trust immediately.

I had an absolutely great experience at Lucky Dagger tattoo. Everyone there was nice and friendly. My tattooers April contributed highly to that. She created a design that I love and am happy to have inked on me forever. She’s a great conversationalist and has a very bright future ahead of her. I look forward to getting more tattoos from her in the future!
