Lucky Gal Tattoo & Piercing

Bailey killed it. I came in and put my name down for a walk in got a call 30 min before close. She sacrificed her time and did an amazing job. Thanks Bailey!

My husband and I took a print of our dog's paw to have tattooed. Galen was our artist and he worked up exactly what we wanted. He did a great job and we are both very happy with our new tattoos. Lucky Gal was recommended to us by a friend and we're so glad we went there. The parlor is clean, the prices are reasonable and the service is outstanding. We will definitely return.

Very impressed with this Tattoo shop. The artist stayed late to get eight of us in for an "in memory" Tattoo, same day with short notice. The artist was able to take our lost loved ones handwriting and replicate it to create unique tattoos. Another artist ended up helping to get us all done. We are appreciative of how nice and friendly everyone that worked there was. Definitely would recommend them. We also had two children with us that got their ear pierced and was done very professionally. 5 stars from us! Ankeny Iowa shop

From scheduling to walking out with a perfect tattoo every time, Lucky Gal is the best! Tanner is excellent; he is very professional and delivers high quality work. 10/10 recommend!

The people at Lucky Gal are really respectful, fun and are great at their jobs. The place is always clean and making appointments is easy. One thing I really love is that they have clear directions and summaries of what will happen when you get a piercing/tattoo and how to take care of it after you leave. Tanner is the best tattoo artist I’ve had the pleasure of doing business with. I’ve gotten two tattoos done by him and both times the process was super easy and stress free. I gave him a few reference photos and he came up with his own versions for me to choose from that were unique to his style and still followed what I asked for. Both of my tattoos came out exactly like the drawings he made and have held up well for over a year. I will be coming back again over and over to get my tattoos here.

Such a great experience getting my tattoo done here. Amy did mine and my friends tattoo and they are both beautiful! She is amazing at line work and was just super friendly and easy to walk to. Highly recommend Amy and this shop!

went to get my septum taken out today, just a simple one with spikes since i usually struggle to do it myself. was charged $10 for the service even tho it only took a couple seconds. if i was informed ahead of time about the price it would’ve been better but i wasn’t told about the cost of it until after. never in my life have i ever paid to have a piercing taken out. i was not getting jewelry put in either just simply getting it taken out. i’ve gotten piercings taken out here before but i’ve never ever been charged for it, here or at other places. not cool.

I love this place! Amy has done eight tattoos for me over the last several months. Amazing artist. I can not say enough good things about her work or professionalism. I will never go to anyone else. I am a Amy lifer!

Tanner was awesome! Got me in for a walk in quickly and was super kind. Highly recommend :)

They did an amazing job and it was so fast in and out in no time and expailed how to take care of my piercing .

The arist didn't know what I meant by celtic, which is very odd. The initial conversation included a $50 non refundable deposit to hold an appointment 2 months from now, no matter if you cancel 2 weeks ahead of time. No refund. In addition they want to finalize the tattoo the day of and draw it on a location of your body you can't see or evaluate if you want it. They said quote "Don't over think your tattoo" ... I'm sorry I want to know what's going on my body b4 you dig in.. Btw they have a min purchase amount of $90, no matter how simple or short time it takes..these are things that you only find out if you stop in. Not that they are wrong but it helps to be informed. Hope this helps your tattoo shop choice. This relates to the Ankeny location, not sure about the others.

Had a hard time booking as a walk in but was able to get an appointment with Amy for me and my wife. She gave us excellent couples tattoos and made the whole experience really nice

Was not helped or greeted. Two people walked in after me and were helped right away

Amy was so great to work with! She listened to our requests and delivered on them. I would highly recommend her. The shop was clean and comfortable and prices were reasonable.

My first visit was a day before thanksgiving in 2021. Tanner is very professional, clean, proficient and experienced in what he’s doing. He’s a very good artist. I set up a few appointments for a chest piece that went smoothly. This was a great experience for me. I look forward to doing more business with this team again. They have a clean shop and facility. Thanks Tanner!

Macee was personable. She has done my cartilage, my doubles and my belly button and each time she did amazing. I would recommend.

Had earrings replaced. 4 days earrings fell out. While she was replacing she knocked ear and bled like crazy. Said she was a apprentice called today was told piercer and manager not in until tomorrow.

Very clean! The people are super nice. Got my cartilage earing changed out for a better quality one and its already better and mostly healed. Reasonable prices as well!

I went to the Ankeny location yesterday and had Amy give me some beautiful birth flowers representing my six kids, of which, she is my oldest. She did an amazing job!! She isn't heavy handed and her lines are very clean. The shop itself is very clean and they are a very respectable and professional.

I had good experiences with this place before when I was getting my first tattoo I'm 19 now and decided to put a deposit down for another one well I went back to the shop to get my tattoo the date of the appointment and only when I went in did they ever announce that I needed ID , however they did not tell me this when I first went into schedule the appointment And took my deposit without refunding it
