Lucky 13 Tattooing & Piercing

I have a few tattoos done by artists here and I have had nothing but good experiences. The front desk staff is always super friendly and I haven’t had any bad experiences with artists. My partner and friends have also had work done here, all pleased with the results. My most recent was done by Vermin, and I could not recommend him enough. His work is solid and he was super friendly and focused. I brought in a design I drew to get tattooed and he worked with me to make it doable with my budget and space. Very pleased with everything!

Just had a matching nostril piercing done. I had a great experience. Staff was friendly and helpful. Nina did my piercing and she did an excellent job making sure that my new piercing would align with the one on the other side of my nose. She also made sure to remind me of aftercare. Nina was friendly and did my piercing so fast! 10/10 would do it again!!!

Sara Bell is only my third tattoo artist, but she is by far the most talented. The way she was able to being my kitty's portrait to life in NY skin was absolutely unreal. She's also fun/funny, kind, and has such a gentle hand, by far the most painless tattoo in my journey thus far. 13 out of 10 would recommend! Cool shop too! Everyone seemed relatively friendly and honestly interested in each other's work.

definitely liked it. Lobby was a bit small and had to wait outside until it cleared out but that makes sense due to Covid policy. The male piercer definitely rushed with everybody and you could tell he just wanted to get you out of his chair. My belly piercing is still crooked. I got it done in October and he started doing it right and then took out the needle and then did it again and it was crooked so it doesn’t match up at all. Still a nice clean atmosphere didn’t get to study the equipment but for $20 it’s pretty decent.

Had a tattoo appointment with Sara. I was nervous, it was my first tattoo and I’m not the best with pain. She made me feel comfortable and the entire experience was awesome! Everyone that works here is so nice and welcoming. Will be going back for sure!

I've gotten multiple piercings here, and definitely think I'm going to go back to get more. The piercings I've gotten here have been some of the better positioned/better healings piercings out of all the ones I have. You'll definitely need to replace the piercings to something higher quality, but you pay for the quality. Even with the cheap price point, it's definitely worth it, and I was very happy that my piercings came out perfect!

Go to Bob! He's an artistic genius and his Pricing is excellent! He did a cover up for me and it is beautiful! His line work is crisp and clean and shading and color incredible!!! The establishment is also excellent! I've been getting tattooed here for many years and their artists and fantastic customer service is some of the best in RVA!!! 10 OUTTA 10!!!

My 1st time here with my friend who got a tattoo. Love the atmosphere and the staff is very friendly, helpful and polite...I will be going back to get a tattoo and my 1st piercing

I came here last year to get my tongue re-pierced anh the one that did it was Iain. I asked him to do it in the same place it was before, but he didn't. I ended up having to take that out and let it heal. I came back on my birthday this year, and J-Sin perfectly pierced my tongue in the exact spot of had been in before. I cannot say how amazing he is and I am so thankful he was the one there that day. If you want a piercing, he's your guy 1,000,000,000% for sure. He's been piercing for a long time and knows his craft extremely well. I won't go anywhere else if I decide I want something else pierced and when I get my daughter's nose or ears pierced.

Today we were serviced by a artist named Jason, who pierced my daughter's nose. Jason was very nice and had an amazing sense of humor. I will Definitely recommend him. 10/10
