Lucky Gal Tattoo & 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.

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.

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.

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 .

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

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

I want to send a BIG thank you to Amy.
She did a tattoo for me this afternoon that means the world to me.. my closest friend passed away in November and Amy put her signature on me from an old birthday card and the date that she passed.
Amy's attention to to detail and professionalism is something that will bring me back to Lucky Gal in Ankeny.
I appreciate your time and your talent..
Thank You Amy! 🤍

Came for a walk-in the day after my 18th birthday to get a memorial rose tattoo. Cait-O was super super nice. I showed her 2 different pictures to collide together to make what I wanted and she made it perfect. She gave me different options to choose from for the font of the name I was getting. She gave me her input on sizing so it would look as best as possible. I originally didn’t want a bunch of color on the rose part but she specializes in color so she asked me if she could do something and I let her. But she still respected my wishes and kept it very minimal color and it looked amazing. The line work was incredible, it didn’t hurt as bad as I thought it was going to, she let my friends come back with me and was super cool with everything. The tattoo was so perfect and it was such a great way to honor my sister. Everyone I showed loved it my mom almost cried when she saw it because she loved it so much. My friend just got a tattoo here and my grandma and mom plan on coming here to get a tattoo as well. Thank you Cait-O for the amazing tattoo.

For my first tattoo, Lucky Gal was the right choice. Tanner S was wonderful. The shop has won CityView 'Best Tattoo Shop" multiple times. Will recommend every time.

Mike and McKenzie were super friendly and chill people! My friend and I both went there for the first time and we were helped pretty fast. Both were very nice and funny people. My friend and I had a good time getting tattooed and pierced. We shall be back again!
