Lucky Kat Tat Chicago

Highly recommended.. I was tattooed by a dope tattoo artist Skeemer. He was very professional and in two sessions was able to to finish a very detailed piece for me. My art piece is originally designed & drawn by this talented artist. If you like detailed work ask for Skeemer.

Tattooist: SKEEMER I would definitely recommend him to friends, family, literally anyone. Awesome experience. Had Skeemer make his own rendition of the logo I use for my restaurant&food truck. Could not be happier with the result. The tattoo is on my bicep and I took the picture myself. He’s really easy to talk to and was happy to answer all my questions. I was so happy with the result that I already got a second tattoo done by him. Will be posting a review for that one when it’s healed.

Ricardo was approachable and professional. He was able to create matching butterfly tattoos for my daughters and I with a very short notice. I will definitely recommend him to others. Thanks for doing such a wonderful job!

Nena did such an amazing job elevating and executing my idea. She is so kind and talented.

Had a tattoo done that healed and already looked faded a week after the tattoo was done and the artist wanted to charge an additional $100 when it should have healed correctly the first time

Best location to get your tattoos all artist are amazing and very very talented.

I had a small tattoo done by Carly. I loved my experience, and the shop had some good vibes for sure just from observing the other tattoo artists and clients. I definitely want to come back again to get more tats here from different artists.

Atmosphere is so welcoming & Mellow. Full of talented artists. Keef never fails to impress me with his art. Extremely detail oriented. Second To None.

Good cool spot. The manager will work with you for timing and is great with artist schedules.

This shop really has something special going on. I've been tattooed by a couple different artists, and it's been a consistent, amazing experience each time. My first piece at the shop was tattooed several months ago by Zaida, who was apprenticing at the time. Not only was she excited and super eager to do the piece, which was so reassuring and sweet, but every single other artist in the shop showed genuine interest in what she was doing throughout the process. They were all very encouraging and really seemed to help foster an environment where talented artists support each other and are encouraged to do new things. I've been to a handful of other tattoo shops where apprentices are treated poorly in that weird "tough love" way, and it makes those experiences memorable for the wrong reasons. You can tell a lot about a shop by the way the artists treat each other, and even something as small as greeting one another with a smile and a fist bump when they walk in the door is very telling of how things operate when customers aren't in the shop. After the first appointment, I went back with a friend to get tattooed by Carly, who did a really great job with fine detailing on some smaller pieces for us. I've since been back another time to see Zaida with just as positive of an experience. I think she's almost as happy with the pieces as I am by the end of it. I appreciate that she seems to enjoy the creative and tattooing process, and I can't wait to see how her work evolves in the future. Anyway - I'd recommend this place to anyone... and I do. There is a huge selection of really talented artists, and there's great energy all around. They're just doing it right. Can't wait to go back. :)

Nyck was absolutely amazing and I'm hoping to get more work done by him in the future!!! Skeemer was awesome as well! We did walk-ins and couldn't be happier.

Walked in and told them I wanted to touch up my favorite tattoo. Said I can wait for someone with good experience and got a terrible touch up and way overcharged for the art my guy did! Not one to throw shade at anyone ,but not sure I can trust to go back somewhere that did me like that. My artist seemed like a beginner. He didn’t shave the area….lines are not clean at all! Overall very dissatisfied and disappointed. They said I can come back and will fix it ,but it’s finally healed and not sure I can trust to go back . I reached out a couple times to managers who were nice, but didn’t no what else minus them telling me to call back which I already did. He covered the antenna on the Willis and John Hancock buildings!!!! And brutal shading work! Maybe a better explanation and can work with them, but didn’t get much back. Kept reaching out and only got told to reach out the following Monday . I reached out that Saturday saying it’s looking worse and thought they would reach back to make it right . Unfortunate, but would gladly take this down if they reached out to me to make it right instead of chasing them. Your solution is to go back to the guy that messed it up in the first place! Are you claiming this tattoo?! Crazy …if you think that’s even decent quality that’s crazy for 450$. Skeemer gave me the tattoo . Well deserved 1 star . Gave the review the day after I received the tattoo and when it healed I saw just how messed up it was. Thanks for the response

Skeemer did my first, and until today, only tattoo close to a decade ago. He came through phenomenally again for a paired his/hers wedding "band". Will always recommend his work, first class all the way

Zaida has done two of my tattoos and I absolutely LOVE both! She’s very talented and I can’t wait to go back!

It was a really detailed tattoo and everything. Came here as a spectator and the client was a walk in. Unfortunately, it felt like because of that, the client wasn't able to change or have much of a say in the design that the artist made. Therefore, making the tattoo look very basic. The artist made the client feel like a terrible person very early on too, due to a few communication problems. Good art, bad artist interaction made the experience sour.

My daughter just got her 1st tattoo from there, it's a really cool place. I might get my next one from them.

Avoid going here and don’t work with a guy named Estiban Miranda.

talented and friendly artists. was able to do a walk-in. fair prices. shoutout to felix

Can't wait for end result

I have been going to Lucky Kat for many years, love the shop, love the vibe, love the artist!
