I just had my first (ever) tattoo done at Lucky Soul and literally couldn't be happier.
For personal reasons I had to schedule my appointment with less than two weeks notice and also needed the entire piece to be completed in one session. I was so appreciative that Stewart could accommodate both requests. He is extremely easy to communicate with; a superb artist and professional who put my mind at ease immediately.
I brought Stewart some mehndi patterns that I love and explained what I was looking for and he drew the whole piece by hand. The final stencil exceeded my expectations and once the session began he even free-handed some details that put the piece over the top. It is gorgeous. His lines are SO crisp and delicate and he really captured the beauty and whimsy that I had pictured in my head. The design is very intricate and fairly aggressive for a first tattoo but I felt confident from beginning to end that I would get exactly what I wanted. I seriously can't say enough good things about Stewart and the caliber of his work.
Everyone in the shop - Jim, Tracey, Dora, Jeremy - was lovely and my time there (about six hours) was relaxed and warm. The place is immaculate but somehow you still feel as if you're being tattooed in a friend's living room complete with comfy leather couch and awesome soundtrack.
It might sound way corny, but as a tattoo newbie I really do feel like I "got lucky" having my first piece done at Lucky Soul and won't be going anywhere else to have work done in the future.
This place is spotless! When you first enter the shop, it looks like a very well kept living room with some books on the coffee table. The walls are not covered with flash art, instead you can find sculptures and framed artwork. The artists all have different styles so the chances of getting exactly what you want are much higher. The design I had was an original design which Jeremy adapted freehand on my arm/shoulder. Â He spent a considerable amount of time getting the design just right for me and was very patient.
I will be back again.
