Got a tattoo done by Patrick and I'm obsessed with it! I'm scared that whenever I get paid I'm just gonna go get a tattoo

Back when Lucky’s was only in North Hampton, I used to drive all the way there from Boston for piercings. Much to my joy, they opened a second shop in Boston. I have been getting piercings here since it opened. Like every other Lucky’s location, cleanliness, kindness, and professionalism is above all else. The front desk staff (Nic especially) are all tremendously kind and knowledgeable. All piercers are professional and go above and beyond to ensure the client is safe and satisfied. I am so happy Lucky’s is now in Boston as well, but if it meant having to drive over an hour to get piercings again, I’d do it. They are absolutely worth it.

Incredible and talented piercers. They have an amazing jewelery selection and an awesome aesthetic. One of the most sterile and comfortable experience i have every had at a piercer.

AJ Helman

I LOVE Lucky's and will never get a piercing or tattoo anywhere else in Boston again. I got my third lobes done about a year and a half ago by Lars, and just added a daith on Saturday also by Lars. Lars is my favorite piercer I've ever gone to, they have an incredible bedside manner and even if you're on your first piercing or your ninth, they'll take care of you. Sam on counter is so knowledgable and helped me pick out the perfect jewelry. As a trans person, I always feel so safe going into this shop. Seriously, it deserves more than 5 stars. Go to Lucky's!!

Arden Wilkinson

Fantastic place. Very clean great artists

Awesome shop! I got a walk-in third love piercing here in 2019 and it healed beautifully. Can't wait to go here for a tattoo someday!

This review isn't for my tattoo, which I had to reschedule, but instead for how I was treated today. I called twice this morning to no answer to see if the shop was open after the snow storm, and eventually emailed my artist as a last ditch effort. I informed him I would be a bit late as it takes a while to get there, especially with the snow. The mbta was also delayed, but i trekked out there anyways. I was fine with the possibilty of reacheduling, don't wanna rush a tattoo. However, when I explained (and apologized) for being late and that I had called, I was met with the rudest mix of I must have called another shop and I didn't call. The person at the front continued to be snippy, saying they would have heard me call, so I couldn't have. I rescheduled with my artist and it was very awkward to stand there.This person at the front even continued to be rude when I asked if I could rest real quick before turning right back around and travelling over an hour back home. Again, I am not upset I had to reschedule. Stuff happens. I'm just bummed at how I was treated. I will probably just get my tattoo and never come back. And my piercings were such a good experience, but maybe that was just a fluke.

Carlo Fine

Amazing service. Incredibly sensitive. Profoundly professional. Couldn't have asked for a better place to get my first piercing. Can't wait to go back.

Angelese Revaleon

First off, THANK YOU PATRICK TIERNEY I am so in love with my new piece!!! Parlor was very clean, everyone was really nice and accommodating. Everyone had on masks & there was hand sanitizer. I honestly felt safer getting my tattoo here than I did when I went out to eat for my birthday lol. Made me feel really comfortable and even though they mentioned they were down a staff member, they still handled everything with ease! I went to Lucky's specifically for Patrick Tierney, he is my sisters tattoo artist and I needed one for myself after seeing how good the work was. He's amazing, hands down my favorite tattoo yet! He cares about his work and put it a lot of effort, we even went over our planned time because that's how thorough he is. I told him like 4 words and he drew up an absolute masterpiece. It was a little too big for my arm while I was there so we resized it and it fit perfectly. Be vocal about what you want if you need to change something, he was very accommodating and wants to make sure you're happy! I already can't wait for my next one :)

Jae Manseau

Always kind, gentle and professional counter service. I have a buncha piercings from different folks over the years and I have to give Lars so much credit for giving me the best experience I’ve had getting pierced, like, ever. The piercing itself looks amazing, Lars was thourough in explaining the process, and they made me feel immediately comfortable when I walked into their studio space. The actual ‘piercing’ of my septum and inserting the jewelry was quick and easy; take a deep breath and it’s over before you know it. I will definitely seek out Lars for any future piercings needs ✨

Matt Ronay

Love this place!

Gabriel Fagans

Had an absolute excellent tattoo experience with Patrick Tierney; the work was absolutely excellent and in looking forward to coming back!

Lars is wonderful! So glad they joined the staff.

Jillian Lurie

Don’t buy their pricy jewelry I spent nearly 40$ on a nose ring and the design was so poor the gem already fell off now I’m just left with the hoop that I could’ve gotten for 5$ everything is overpriced when it shouldn’t be

Taylor Hawkins

I have been going to Lucky's for my piercings since I first moved to Boston a few years ago! I've had my septum, daith, conch, and helix(es) pierced here, and every experience has been fantastic. The folks at the counter are always so, so helpful in picking out jewelry, and the piercers are always professional and make the process super easy. I have also been tattooed here, and that experience was also great. They make their sterilization very visible, and I have always felt confident in my health and safety being prioritized. After having gone in during COVID, I think they do an excellent job of exercising caution and care with appointments. I felt very comfortable with the number of people in the shop, mask wearing policy, and cleanliness.

Meghan Coughlin

I could not be happier with my experiences at Lucky's. I highly recommend Caleb, whom I've been working on a large piece with for the past year. He was incredibly supportive when it came to seeing my vision through. Clean, comfortable, with wonderful artists, you cannot ask for more! Thank you, Lucky's and see you again soon!

Steph H-M

Gabrielle is fantastic and I recommend booking her

Gardite Fougy

They were friendly, helpful and very informative. ❤❤❤❤

Ryan M

Chad Remy

They TOOK my money without giving me a tattoo. I had an appointment booked directly with an artist but they had a different day in their system. My appointment was in my calendar and I had an email from the artist themselves stating they had time for my appointment on the day I selected. The lady on the phone refused to take responsibility for a clear miscommunication and would not return my deposit. #NotSoLucky

Stephanie Khaguli

Clinton is such a dream to work with. So far I've had 5 piercings done by him and had a great experience. Highly recommend him and Lucky's overall

Ari S

I went to Lucky’s to get some new piercings and finally get my helix done (for a third time) after going to the kiosks at the mall. I had Clinton and he was amazing. We was very detailed in his aftercare explanation and walked me through his process with each piercing. He was very kind and very welcoming. The overall experience was extremely positive. Very clean, very friendly. Would recommend to anyone looking for a great place to get a piercing!

Taya Latham

Lars was fantastic. They have an outstanding demeanor and just a really great presence. I wasn’t nervous about my piercing, but I know that I would have felt great if I had been.

Shantalle Arrechea

Chris Underhill

I had 0 piercings before today. My appointment was for 5; both ears, my septum, and.... the girls lol. The front desk staff were kind about showing me things in my budget and even gave me a total before my appointment started. Lars was my piercer and they were so amazing!! They walked me through everything regardless of how small it was. They were super upbeat and excited about the whole process and made me feel good about asking questions. I mentioned to Lars I was moving to another state and they took the time write down a recommendation for who to see. I highly recommend anyone looking to get work done to go here!! 1000000/10!!

Franchesca A. Cortez

Everyone was amazing! They were incredibly nice and very professional. Everything was very clean and had a great atmosphere!

Derek Thayer

Lars is fantastic, Kelsey is fantastic. I've been around to a number of shops for piercings, this one is by far one of the best. Can't comment on the tattoo side of things, as I didn't get one, only a piercing, but if they are anything like the piercing quality, it is a top notch experience.

Courtney

They were really kind & helped me out! Place was clean

Sam K

Lucky’s is the only place to go for piercings. Their receptionist Sam was awesome. They were super busy and the only one working and smiled the whole time and were so friendly and helpful. I was pierced by Heather. She was very sweet and knowledgeable. Clean! And just all around great! P.s don’t forget to tip your piercer!

Nicole Hicks

Tiffany Arredondo

I can not say enough great things about Lucky's! I was pretty nervous as I don't have many piercings beyond two single lobe piercings, so going in for 4 (second lobe on each ear, tragus, and helix on one ear) all at once was a little nerve-wracking. However, Lars made it the best experience possible. They made sure I was informed about the process and care, and they checked in with me to see how I was doing throughout. Lars was attentive, kind, and it was a pleasure to be pierced by them! They also helped me curate the ear of my dreams! I cannot wait to go and get more piercings once these heal!

Noura C

How have I not known about this place existed before!!! They are so progressive and professional. My piercer was Clinton, please ask for him when making your appointment, you will not regret it! I have MANY, many piercings and his technique is incredibly painless. Chat him up, he is super funny and nice! They also create what I call "customized ear art". GORGEOUS. Best place around Boston, hands down!

Charles Rothbacher

Sam Wacks

Meghan Reisenauer

Clinton was a great piercer, I got my conch and helix done in 10 minutes flat. They have a great jewelry selection too! All the employees were really friendly and helpful.

Elizabeth Hare

I've done 3 piercings with Heather and had a tattoo with Dice. They were both great to work with and helped me feel comfortable as I was nervous. The front of house staff were all friendly, they go out of their way to ask for a preferred name and pronouns and get them right. Honestly I can't recommend them enough.

Krista Dong

I have been lucky enough to be pierced by the trifecta of Heather, Lars, and Clinton over the course of a couple years and they are simply the best. All three are professional, kind, and fantastic at what they do. Doesn't hurt that the jewelry selection is large and quite beautiful. Thank you for cultivating such a safe and welcoming space!

Kayla Marie

Lucky’s is an inclusive, judgement free, and safe space. I know I can trust everyone on the team and they’re all super kind and patient! I’ve gotten 2 tattoos from Drae and each time they’ve made me feel very comfortable, and I have no doubt that the rest of the staff do the same. What I love most about lucky’s is that most of the staff are part of the LGBTQ+ community, and can therefore make members of the LGBTQ+ feel welcome and appreciated.

danielle pinals

I got my ears pierced at Lucky's and they were so professional and courteous. The place is really clean and Clinton did an amazing job with my piercings! Highly recommend.

Maíra LP

Got a lovely piercing with Heather at Boston unit.

L B

This place is amazing!! My 17 year old daughter got ears pierced here… the people are super sweet accommodating and genuine ❤️ Love the vibe! Everyone is helpful and available for any questions or help even after you leave. I recommend this spot for your next procedure????????

Meghan Greco

I got my double helix done at Lucky's today and the staff was very welcoming, accommodating and professional. I would absolutely love to go back someday when I come back to Boston. I would highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for a piercing in the city!

Cami Leigh

Best piercing place in Boston area! I have tried 5-6 different places downtown and in Cambridge, and none have come even remotely close to the professionalism of Lucky's. The front desk is knowledgable and helpful, piercers are experienced and kind, pricing is so reasonable, and I've always had a great experience even when it is super busy. Love this place!!

amelia

i just got back a septum piercing like 10 minutes ago. everyone there is always so sweet (i’ve been a few times) and great at what they do. my septum didn’t hurt at all and my piercer (their name was lars i believe) was super comforting and thorough with care directions. 100% recommend.

Zoe Howland

I went into Lucky’s for a relatively simple jewelry change in an existing nostril piercing, but the experience was great!! Choosing the new jewelry was great, the person I worked with showed me all of my options and helped me find options I liked within my budget. I had Clinton change my jewelry, and he was great as well! It was a little bit more of a process to get the new ring in, but Clinton was patient, explained everything he was doing, and made me feel super comfortable. 10/10 would recommend!!

Pat moogs

Great service

I went to Lucky's the other day to get my Conch piercing, Lars was so personable and great I felt so supported and aware of what was happening during the piercing. Talk about a fun person to be around! On top of that, the human who helped me pick out jewelry initially before the piercing (I believe their name was Jo) was so thoughtful and patient with me, they actually helped me choose my piece. Overall, Lucky's is the best and I can't imagine going anywhere else.

Jessamyn Wallace

Okay these people are just...straight up rude. I’ve been here twice out of pure necessity due to location, and both times I was lectured and treated like a child. They told me that *I* was mishandling my piercing, even though it had no infection, no pain, no pus, nothing. They changed out the jewelry and bam! Huge infection that took weeks to heal. Not to mention they overprice everything. The exact same jewelry (brand, size, color) here is upcharged about $10-$15 at minimum from comparable shops. Honestly, I’m paying a literal fortune to buy and put in quality piercing jewelry, I’m really not looking to be lectured at the same time. Save your time, save your money, and quite honestly save your dignity.

Got a few piercings here (that later got angry) and according to another piercer I spoke to at another place, they were poorly executed. Try the other piercing place in Cambridge instead. They are awesome.

Monica G

Went here to get my nose piercing change after I was dumb and messed up doing it myself. Zack was super professional, helpful, and nonjudgmental, and answered all my questions about piercings and prices. Now my go-to place for jewelry and piercings

Kelsey Christopher

Went in for a walk in with Caitlin. Who I'm going to go back and work with on a bigger piece with. She was so lovely! My mom and I got matching tattoos. It was both of our first tats. Love Caitlin's work and how easy to talk to she is!

Danny Kirch

I’ve gotten my septum and industrial pierced from the Boston location, I have very mixed feelings. My septum healed nicely so I decided to go back for my industrial. The staff up front was very friendly and I appreciate that they told me the overall price before I got the piercing so I knew what to expect, but the piercer seemed very rushed and didn’t let me see the marks before piercing. I followed all their aftercare instructions including salt water soaks and cleaning solution but my piercing wasn’t healing right. So I called the location and they didn’t care, they put all the blame on me. I went to another piercing shop and they told me the reason that it was still so inflamed and angry was because the bar it was pierced with was WAY to short even though I spent a LOT of money on it. I ended up having the other shop switch it out for a proper fitted bar and it is finally healing nicely (after 8 months of constant irritation). Now I am thinking about getting my tongue pierced but am seriously thinking of not going back here because if they can’t properly fit an industrial, I’m really concerned about properly fitting my tongue to account for the swelling.

I've been to Lucky's several times now for tattoo, piercing, and jewelry change services and I don't think I'll ever go anywhere else! The folx that work here are incredibly knowledgeable and kind. The space is welcoming and clean. From my conversations with the staff it sounds like the ownership/management really "walk the walk," - they have created a super queer competent space, with talented artists and staff, and always prioritize the safety of staff and clients. I most recently worked with Lars and Kelsey, on some new ear piercings and jewelry, and they are both WONDERFUL. They were a blast to work with. The jewelry selection is great. Can't wait to go back again soon!!

I got a conch piercing at Lucky's and it was a perfect experience. Everyone was so friendly, kind, and helpful. Clinton pierced my ear and it was practically painless. He made me feel safe and cared for. It's definitely not cheap, but in my opinion, the quality of the expertise and jewelry used was well worth it. Also, everyone used gender neutral pronouns for me since I didn't share my pronouns, so a very queer-affirming space!

Biljana Nelica

Friendly staff & awesome service. Very professional.

Nathan Knowles

I had an appointment with Lars at the Cambridge location and they were great at helping calm my nerves around having my 2nd nostril done. Very thorough on making sure both were lined up and just right. The folks at the front desk were more than accommodating when it came to helping me pick my jewelry. Gave great advice and an honest opinion. Which I found helpful as I was “shopping” by myself. I have already booked another appointment with Lars for an “ear curation”. I’m very excited to say the least. GO HERE! You won’t be disappointed.

Catherine Ursache

Got a piercing here by Heather and she is the sweetest person ever. She explained everything in detail (the post size, aftercare, etc.) She gave me the least painful piercing I’ve ever gotten. I’ll definitely be back if I get more!

Steven Gerard

Super,!!!!

Sophia Hausner

I had an incredible experience getting pierced here! Everyone was so friendly, helpful, and the entire studio is gorgeous and clean.

Lillian Kaufman

I recently had an appointment scheduled to get my nose pierced that I was late to because of train issues. Although I was late, the tone which I was spoken to both on the phone and in person was rude, unfriendly and very unwelcoming. I understand that my lateness was an inconvenience, but as someone who has worked in customer service for four years it, I know that doesn't take a lot to be kind, especially for the prices they charge, the employees should at least try to be nice.

Dawn Loggins

I scheduled an appointment to get my tragus piercings redone, and Hannah was FANTASTIC! She explained everything very clearly and answered all my questions. I knew exactly what was happening every step of the way. She was also very friendly. By far the best piercing experience I've had.

Keeley Gorman

I loved my experience here! I got my septum & nostril pierced by Clinton. These were my first facial piercings, and he was so kind and patient with me. The studio itself was very beautifully decorated, clean, and professional. They are super committed to their COVID policies, which made me feel very safe as an immunocompromised person. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking to get pierced :)

HeKing_PK_Eternal

Took my daughter there to get piercings The were nice clean and the staff were very knowledgeable and ahem... attractive lol.

Melanie Cosgrove

Highly recommend this place to get your eyebrows microbladed by Alicia! She is the best and I love the results so much. She’s so nice, professional, and extremely talented.

Meagan Loo

Pricier than expected, but very clean and professional

Kari Iyer

Overpriced service and jewelry. Would have been more accepting if not for how poorly my piercings healed despite following their aftercare instructions. My lobes were still swollen/blistering after more than 3 months. Did not hear back from then when I reached out about my issues.

Zoee Hull

Lucky’s is amazing! From the get-go, they make you feel accepted and cared for. I got a tattoo from Adriana, and they are absolutely worth the wait! So professional, caring, and talented. Everything I could have hoped for and more happened! I 100% recommend.

Shelby Moore

I got an absolutely gorgeous dragon tattoo from Patrick Tierney (@pttierney on Instagram) on my arm and cannot stop staring at it in the mirror. His work is such high quality and he was very friendly/easy to talk to--definitely worth the experience! Also I don't usually get color tattoos, but I'm so glad I did with this one because it looks ridiculously cool. If you're looking for something unique, definitely try one of his designs (: thanks again!!!

Molly McIntosh-Case

Beautiful selection of jewelry and knowledgeable, helpful staff!

Kirsti B

I had an amazing experience tonight at Lucky’s! I made a cartilage piercing appointment and when I showed up the woman at the front desk helped me pick the best jewelry for my piercing. She was very knowledgeable and was very clear about pricing, healing times, and potential risks. The store itself is very tidy and trendy looking inside, and the individual rooms are clean. You can tell they take cleanliness seriously- not just in Covid Times. My piercer Clinton was SO sweet and gentle! Very accommodating and kind. Piercing went smoothly and I felt very comfortable. I would absolutely recommend this place for piercings, and I’ve seen amazing tattoos from the artists there as well!!!!

Madison S

The place is so cute and pretty! I love the art hanging up inside. Everyone is very nice and friendly, and they are thorough with information which is very comforting. They have a pretty jewelry selection. I got 3 piercings done with Heather and she was amazing. She explained everything, answered all my questions and all piercings were pretty much painless! Would definitely recommend/go back!

The desk people were rude when I went

Donna Keenan

I felt very welcome. Every staff member was kind. The shop was lovely and very clean. Nathan did exactly the tattoo I was hoping for and was just the best.

Meghan Sullivan

Lucky’s is my go to place for anything tattoo or piercing related. Patrick MacDonald has been tattooing me since 2014 and every time I have an appointment I am blown away by his artistic abilities. Patrick is kind, patient, and gentle. He is aware of peoples sensitivities and always checks in to make sure I am okay when undergoing a tattoo. Patrick is versatile and can tackle any tattoo project due to his years of tattooing experience. I normally throw an idea at Patrick (ex:“I want bones and flowers”) and let him interpret how the design should look amongst my existing tattoos. He always nails what I am envisioning. Lucky’s overall is an amazing studio. LGBTQIA+ friendly. I always feel safe and respected here. Iva had my nose pierced here and have had multiple jewelry changes by the piercing staff who are also as kind and friendly as Patrick. Highly recommend this place! Best tattoo parlor in all of New England in my opinion :)

Chi’s Adventure (HenryBoyz)

Super clean shop. Nice and friendly staff. I love my piercing.

Bianca Dempsey

I have been to Lucky's in Cambridge twice now for piercings, both times with Lars. They are amazing. So welcoming and helpful and kind. The first time I saw them was for a cartilage piercing which went very well and is healing beautifully. I was worried about healing a cartilage since I was having trouble with another one (not done at Lucky's), but Lars explained how to take care of it and the piercing was so well done that I have had no problems. The second time I saw them was to swap out a ring in the other cartilage piercing that I had done somewhere else. This one was not healing well and Lars helped me swap it out and it already feels 10x better. The studio itself is absolutely gorgeous, clean, and inviting. The jewelry selection is extensive and high quality. The front of house staff are equally helpful and friendly. I tell everyone to go to Lucky's and now would never go anywhere else!

La Sirena

~My daughter and I went in for helix piercings and the front desk staff was very polite and thorough! Great help from the young lady that helped us pick the studs. Very professional, kind and clean service from Heather, our piercer! We absolutely LOVE our piercings!! Thank you!!!

Bonnie O'Halloran

Great vibe. Super clean. Variety of jewelry options for piercings. Front desk staff were excellent: knowledgeable and personable. Heather is an awesome piercer. Will definitely be returning in the future.

TWSsubscriber

Friendly and inclusive! I had piercing done by Lars. They made me feel v comfortable and washed away all my anxiety. Kelsey took care of me at the front. She was so passionate! I got recommendations of great off topic reading material before leaving. Celebrate your next holiday by booking an appointment at Lucky's (They can take PayPal, which also helped a ton)

Spring Li

I typically never write reviews but my experience and service at Lucky's a few weeks ago really made me feel comfortable and accepted. Piercing and service staff were great! I was serviced by someone named Kelsey and they were so informative and friendly (almost felt like an old friend). They helped me to pick out the perfect jewelry for me and I couldn't be happier with how it all turned out. Sometimes staff at shops aren't always the friendliest or most receptive so Kelsey was a breath of fresh air. I cannot wait to go back and get more piercings; I'm sure the entire staff will make sure any of you will be taken care of well! I would recommend Lucky's to anyone.

Patrick Lawson

Bobby Haskell

I got my septum pierced here about 6 weeks ago. As soon as I walked in, I felt welcomed. I really appreciated that the forms you fill out ask your pronouns. As a gender queer person, that was really helpful for me. This was the most positive piercing experience I've had and would recommend this shop in a heart beat. I'm excited to go back to upgrade my jewelry.

Angelique Grove

Isabelle Deng

I had a wonderful experience at Lucky's! My ear lobe piercing had swollen up and the backing of the earring got embedded inside of the lobe. Clinton was very professional and kind, and he was able to remove the backing and put in a newer, longer one. I would definitely come here again for another piercing/tattoo in the future.

Kenny Cortum

Really great customer service and they are always ready to help out. Best experience I've had getting a piercing!

Tajah Thomas

I have never been so inclined to write a bad review, as I am right now. I called ahead to ask whether or not walk ins were being taken— I was told ‘Yes!’ And urged to head right over. After a $17 Uber ride I was there in 20 minutes. I was then told to wait as the man who was taking walk-ins was ABOUT to call another woman in. Instead of talking to me real quick, to establish if what I wanted was doable, before getting started with her, he did not. He passed right by me, called her in and came out almost forty-five minutes later. Just to glance at the tattoo I wanted for less than 10 seconds and conclude it was ‘too simple’ for him to do. They turned me away in 3 minutes after having wasted both my time, money and energy. I will NOT be going back, and I will be sure to NOT recommend this game place to anyone. I have five tattoos and have never witnessed that nor had that happen. I’d give 0 stars if I could.

I've had my septum and earlobes pierced at Lucky's - don't have a single bad word to say. Everyone I've worked with is professional and good at their job. Not the cheapest shop out there, but if you want to save $$$ while getting a piercing, I'd suggest just getting fake jewelry instead. Or - support the industry and make sure your permanent body modifications are done somewhere reputable like Lucky's.

Mia Fayssoux Buckland

Good jewelery selection but the piercing staff is uppity and rude. Both times

Raina Langlois

I got my ear curated by Tara & Lars & got the pierced & installed by Lars and LET ME TELL YOU! They are such wonderful people. Very kind, open minded, and fun. They both have great style & gave me their opinions on each piece, as well as helped me figure out which would look best on my ear while also fitting my style. They have great quality jewelry & such a professional but fun presence. I will for sure return and recommend Lucky’s to anyone who wants to get pierced or curated! Such a fun experience :)

Jess Bauza

I was recently tattooed by Caleb in the Cambridge location and cannot recommended him enough! I am floored by how creative and talented he is. To start, he really did an amazing job interpreting my reference images into his own style. When we started the appointment he had his drawings laid out and we could immediately get down to playing with placement and size. He was very chill and didn’t make me feel guilty or silly about moving it and shifting the design. He makes the process feel very collaborative. While laying out the design I also discussed the future add-on I hoped to do with the tattoo. He was very helpful in giving feedback about how the placement would help for adding on in the future. During the process he was attentive, easy to talk to, and informative. The tattoo we did was my largest and longest appointment to date so it was nice to have him explain what was going on, what was coming next, and how much longer. I’ll say maybe the best part of my appointment was when we realized we’d be finishing my tattoo earlier than expected. Caleb mentioned he could do the add-on we had discussed when figuring out the placement. I gave him a quick reference photo, we chatted about price, and went for it! I was a teeny bit nervous of how it’d turn out with him having zero prep ahead of time for this new part but *wow*. He is very talented and really blew my expectations out of the water. I left our appointment with a gorgeous badass piece that is unlike anything I’ve seen on anyone else! So very excited to hopefully work with Caleb in the future!

Madeleine Hykes

Best experience piercing so far! Had a mix-up on my end with my appointment date a few months ago - Lars was accommodating and fit me in between their other appointments for a jewelry change. Came in again today to have another nose piercing with Lars, they were incredibly informative, professional, and overall kind! The front desk staff was also resourceful in picking out new jewellery. Looking forward to coming back and definitely recommend.

Always get my piercings here, never had an issue with infection and they do a great job.

I usually don’t write reviews even if the service is bad, but I have to say that my last experience at Luckys really disappointed me. They are appointment only (which is totally understandable). The door is locked from the inside and you have to ring a bell and wait to be let in. I rang the bell several times and several people walked by the door and even made eye contact with me, but none of them ever came to open the door. When I was finally let in, the woman at the desk was extremely rude and passive aggressive. She asked me what gauge my nose ring was and I wasn’t sure and she gave me an attitude about me knowing. She was MAD at me for not knowing. It made me pretty uncomfortable as a client, as her tone was very unsettling. One of the piercers was kind enough to take a look at it and see what it was. After I picked out my ring, I was ready to be rung up. It was supposed to be a quick appointment (as the site says). I wait for her to ring me up and she proceeds to answer a phone call in front of me for SEVERAL minutes, totally ignoring the fact that I am standing there ready to check out and leave. They advertise on the site that they book quickly and that appointments happen during certain time slots, so it was weird to me that she would keep me waiting for so long. She eventually got off the phone and rung me up. My usual experience at luckys is great, so I was really sad to have had this experience. However, the girl with the black hair and blonde bangs was extremely rude and has ruined my perception of this business.

Honestly, my piercer was so kind and intelligent on how to care for my piercings. The store was clean and well lit and everyone was happy to answer my questions!

Thomas Walker

Very professional, quick, informative

Just got my piercings and love it! Thank you Nicholas!! Very friendly and talented artist!

I had the most incredible experience at Lucky’s. Clinton was my piercer, providing me with details through the entire appointment and even custom making one of the rings for me. I got a third hole, tragus and widened the gauge of my conch. I couldn’t have been happier with the piercings or the jewelry selection which is unique and beautiful.

Rachelle Mantha

Very clean and staff was all very nice. Very happy with the end product! Reasonably priced and overall positive experience :-)

Jenni Robinson

I could not have asked for a better experience. The staff are so kind, and Heather was amazing. I am definitely coming here again. Thank you so much!

I broke the earring I had in for like 2 weeks that I also got pierced here and Lucky's was able to get me in same day to change my piercing. It was done by Lars who was super sweet and accommodating and got it done in a pain-free and efficient manner. It was a quick and pleasant experience and alleviated a lot of my anxiety. Lucky's was also able to take in my broken jewelry and work on getting it fixed.

Samantha Giangrasso

Lars was amazing! They were professional, clean, and friendly. They made the experience super comfortable and easy, and the piercing is healing well. This was the most comfortable and welcoming experience I've ever had getting any body mod.

Gregory Belle

Ashley Suarino

I got a piercing here and all seemed to be completely fine, however the front part of my piercing fell out less than a month after getting it. I’ve had several piercings over the years and none have fallen out until now. From what I understand, they are supposed to be very secure. A long backing is supposed to be used for new piercing incase there is swelling, but this doesn’t appear to have been the case because despite my piercing being mostly healed (so no swelling) there is very little space for the post to move, I’m not completely surprised it fell off. I feel like this is the fault of the piercer because they chose the backing. As someone who is definitely not a professional piercer myself I have to trust that they are choosing the right size and this does not appear to be the case here. I also feel that it’s their fault because of the fact that I’ve never had a piercing fall out like that, and I have had a lot of the same piercings for over a year, nothing has happened to them. I’m really disappointed this happened.

A Connors

Had a wonderful experience getting a conch and septum with Lars. They explained everything they were going to do and let me set the pace. The shop was impeccably clean, and the staff were all wonderful. They were very respectful of pronouns and made sure they knew my preferred name. I’ll be recommending this shop to everyone.

Bomi Kim

Got my first tattoo here and everyone from reception to tattoo artist is professional and nice. Will definitely think about getting a custom work done here in the future!

Best of the best. By far the most comfortable environment I've been in for a tattoo shop. Clean, professional, corteous, and the artists do great work.

Emily Whalen

Had an amazing tattoo experience with Adriana. Not only was the final piece beautiful/badass, but I enjoyed what can be a nerve wracking process. She listened to all my thoughts, regularly checked in with me regarding pain and got my feedback halfway through to ensure shading, detail were headed in the right direction. Plus she was fun to talk to. If you're looking for a competent, gifted, artist then check her out. The space is also clean and comfortable.

Lars is the best! It's a very comfortable and safe environment for everyone, but as a queer person I really felt at home. Appreciate everyone there. . . . They were especially kind when I missed my appointment and had to reschedule. My piercings are symmetrical and exactly what I wanted. Lars was great at walking me through the process and informing me of next steps. Love the cold compress!! Highly recommend Lucky's to anyone who wants an exceptional experience.

Cheryl Knight

Right from the beginning, I could tell that they take their Covid procedures very seriously. They even ask that you don't turn off the bathroom light or fan to minimize the surfaces you touch. It was well lit, modern construction that was obviously well kept and spacious with private rooms for tattooing and piercing. They had a large selection of jewelry to choose from, including implant grade titanium which is what I chose. They ask you how you prefer to be addressed and what pronouns you use which was pretty cool and told me my piercers name and pronouns. Clinton was my piercer and I told him right away I was nervous. He told me that we would go over everything in detail before we got started. He was very professional and went slowly for me. It was a very positive experience and it was over before I knew it. Getting my eyebrows threaded hurt more than getting my nose pierced. It was a great experience and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an experienced piercer!

bety

I’ve only gotten my nose piercing here and the cleanliness, beautiful furniture, kind and professional people make me wanna come back for literally 50 more piercings. I only trust this place for a clean and easy piercing service and I’ll most likely only come here for tattoos too.

Rahul Ramesh

Great people! I booked with Lars for a nose piercing and they were very communicative, friendly, and clear! Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Luckys staff was also very accommodating of all my questions and patient with all my jewelry change requests, great place with people that really know what they're doing and care.

Bek Bowen

Very clean space with masks and hand sanitizer at the door, and everyone at the desk was super friendly and helpful. Clinton did an awesome job, I highly recommend him and the shop overall

Rubina Jarkezian

Staff was not nice at all. I would not recommend to anyone, nor will I be returning.

Chelsey Buffone

I scheduled my first appointment at Lucky's recently for two ear piercings and a jewelry change and it was an A+ experience from the second I walked in. The shop is so incredibly clean and inviting - nice and well-lit which I appreciate. The person who helped me pick out my jewelry was kind, patient, and didn't make me feel pressured to pick higher end items. Lars did my actual piercings and it was truly the BEST experience! They were friendly, funny, and made sure to walk me through each step as it was happening. I will never go anywhere else besides Lucky's from now on!

IRAGUHA Sylvie

Morgan Farrell

So clean, the person at the front desk was incredibly helpful in helping me understand pricing and what jewellery I should choose. Lars, who did my piercings was so nice and helpful. Overall, such a great experience and I’ll be back.

it was ok my navel was generally painless brians a bit mean tho

Rachel Shepardson

Great experience. Everyone was very professional. My only reason for not giving 5 stars was because the jewelry was so expensive.

I've been getting Tattoos from the artist Caitlin Feuerbach for several months in a row. She does incredible work, is professional, and a totally rad person to talk with. I'll continue to get work from her in the future and I do very much recommend coming to Lucky's.

Extremely friendly staff!! Also very professional and organized. Nice location as well.

AC Morse

My appointment was cancelled the day prior do to my piercer being out sick. I came to the studio the day my appointment had been to reschedule, and they managed to fit me in anyway. The desk staff was really helpful and friendly. I had my nipples pierced by Clinton. He was warm and professional. I never felt uncomfortable. He explained the whole process before as well as throughout the piercings. A little pricey, but based on the cleanliness and quality of the studio and services, it was worth it. I will definitely be going back to lucky's for more body modification.

Nicola Roux

I have had 3 tattoos done at Lucky's and am continually impressed with the work of their artists, the cleanliness and welcoming environment of the shop, and the ease of scheduling/rescheduling/making deposits. Special shoutout to the artists i have worked with, Drae and Caleb! I truly can't say enough good things about Lucky's! Especially getting tattooed during a pandemic, I was grateful for the conscientiousness of the Lucky's staff. I will keep coming back here as long as I am in Boston!

Katya Merkulova

Clinton did my dermal piercing. The entire experience was fantastic, from scheduling the appointment to leaving the place with a beautiful piercing. The staff are very helpful and knowledgeable and helped me to pick out the right piercing for me. Clinton was exceptional in explaining everything that he was doing and what to expect, and with minimal pain. I will be back for future piercings for sure.

Piotr “Spaceman” Butkiewicz

Jillian Wybenga

I love the Lucky’s in Northampton, and the new Cambridge location is somehow even better. Adorable decor, friendly staff and expert piercers. A little pricey, but you have to look at the jewelry and skill of the piercer as an investment.

Angela Case

Have been to Lucky's many times, they are always great! This most recent time was for a jewelry change with Madison, she was communicative, gentle and patient, especially when one piercing was especially challenging. Staff are helpful, knowledgeable, kind and create a comfy space for queers to get mods.

They cancelled my appointment that was booked for over a month. Rescheduled me for an entire month later. I’ve gotten piercings there in the past and they were kind and clean but it feels unprofessional to not accommodate customers who’s appointments were canceled at no fault of their own.

Katie Infantine

Lars is amazing!! They are so sweet, knowledgeable and hilarious. Hands down the best piercing experience I've ever had. I felt very safe and taken care of. Overall, Lucky's has great attention to COVID policies.

Hannah Collins

i’ve gotten two piercings from Heather which have both healed very well and look so cute. they take covid precautions very seriously and the studio is nice and clean. i would recommend to friends and go back for another piercing!

Tina G

I love this place. My artist was amazing.

Maddie Meyers

AMAZING visit. They asked for preferred name and pronouns, which made me SO much more comfortable ???? Such a trans friendly environment. Shout-out to Zach and Lauren for making my first piercings so wonderful by being friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Would absolutely recommend. Great facilities, nice selection...can't wait to go back! :)

Sarah

I had a great experience getting pierced here. Lars pierced my earlobes and my nipples and they did a great job of making me feel relaxed and calm beforehand. The staff at the front were also friendly and helped me pick out my jewelry. I would highly recommend Lucky’s!

Nourin Tajnia

Emma Sutter

To be honest, I was very dissatisfied with my visit here. While eventually warming up, Christine the piercer was very cold, rude and did not make what can be an intimidating experience any more comfortable. While my piercing came out fine, my friends was crooked and did not line up with the mark that was put on her ear. The prices (while I understand is quality jewelry) are extremely overpriced (I've been going to piercers and jewelry stores all over the country and I'm familiar with what the prices should be). They also won't let you take photo or video which is absolutely ridiculous. They also make any friends or family stand away from the person being pierced which seems over the top in terms of safety and rules. They also asked me to a sign a form and did not explain what anything meant. The one nice part was the last at the front was kind. I will not be returning.

Antonia Diener

Lars and Clinton are the most amazing piercers I've ever worked with. They are both welcoming and considerate and make the process as smooth and pain free as possible!! Highly recommend!!!! :)

MeriEsther Luce

Lars (they/them) was fantastic! They did my bridge and it looks Devine!

Allegra Marra

I absolutely LOVED my experience at Lucky's! I was pierced by Clinton and he was amazing. He explained everything so well, was communicative, and is very skilled at his job. The front desk staff was also so helpful with picking out jewelry. The shop was clean and overall had a great vibe. Will definitely come back and recommend Lucky's to friends/family!

Kelly Thi

Quinn C-L

Clinton gave me an industrial piercing, my first cartilage piercing, and walked me through the entire process and made me comfortable. It was virtually painless and it looks great! Everyone who I interacted with was really nice and respectful, and FYI for trans and GNC folks, one of the first things they ask you for is your pronouns! I can't wait to get more piercings here!

Daniel S. Padilla O.

Typical pretentious tat + piercing staff. Artist wouldn't even talk to discuss new piece when there was no wait + instead of simply showing and selling a hoop for an existing nose piercing they went on and on about how it's "lifestyle" jewelry and don't recommend it for the aesthetic only..... Piercings are purely aesthetic-based. ????

Haley Riley

Outlandishly over priced

Kenneth Cortum III

Jacqueline Foley

Had my nostril pierced with Clinton yesterday and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I’ve been to a few shops in the area for tattoos and piercings and this will be my go-to shop moving forward. The store was clean and spacious, and the Covid protocols were very solid. There was enough space for social distancing and plenty of hand sanitizer everywhere. All staff and clients were wearing masks. The two staff at the front desk who helped me check in/out and pick my jewelry were friendly, knowledgeable, and made me feel welcome (even asking about my pronouns!). The jewelry selection had the options I was looking for and the prices were reasonable. Clinton was the sweetest and made sure to answer all my questions and talk me through the piercing process. My nose stud looks great! It’s in the perfect spot. I can’t recommend the Lucky’s staff highly enough.

Kylie

Everybody here is super nice and professional. Super welcoming environment and I didn't feel uncomfortable at all! My tattoos are beautiful and the building is super clean!!

All my services at Lucky’s so far have been really well done by warm and lovely people! I’m very appreciative of the inclusive environment and the patience with which Clinton and the other staff have answered my anxious piercing questions. I recently had an appointment with Caleb who is an absolute angel and made the experience of getting a tattoo as pleasant as it can be!

Lucky's was very clean and professional. I liked how the workers at the front desk applied social distancing rules (making sure everyone has a mask and sanitizes their hands) before coming in. The front desk workers also made sure to ask what your pronouns are which is very inclusive! They were very helpful in assisting me in choosing jewelry (I was very indecisive). I had my triples and helix done with Clinton and he is very sweet! I liked how he made sure to announce every step when giving me my piercings, it eased the nervousness off my shoulders. Would recommend to anyone looking to get piercings done.

JM Gelson

[Tattoo with Pat T.] Right at the start, staff were friendly and amicable, all while following covid precautions. LGBTQIA+ friendly. Pat is a talented artist with a beautifully unique style. He is kind, cordial, and concerned with client comfort. His attention to detail and quality make his tattoos collector-level content, and I look forward to more.

Ana Rivas

Lovely experience for a jewelry change! Lars is the sweetest and they provided great information about my piercing and the jewelry I changed to.

Jessica Darius

Went here for a nose piercing, the front staff was super friendly and that's one of the reasons why I made the decision to get pierced there. However the piercer Christine was so cold, unfriendly and took away from the whole experience. Getting a piercing is so nerve wrecking as it is and she made it ridiculously uncomfortable and tense. There wasn't an introduction or any kind of dialogue. I have been to other parlors before and this is the first time I left a parlor regretting my decision. I literally left thinking damn I should have went to another parlor because of her negative energy. The experience went from "yay can't wait for my nose piercing to jeez what was her problem". Completely sucked the joy out of the room and experience to point I felt compelled to write a review especially for the price I paid to get pierced. Nonetheless, she did her job hence the 2 stars and not a 1 but a little warmth goes a long way especially if you want reoccurring customers. I don't typically write reviews but I felt it was necessary for Lucky’s to know this information for future customers.

I went to Lucky's in Cambridge to have a helix piercing done, and they were incredibly kind and knowledgeable from the very beginning. The employees at the front desk asked for our preferred names and pronouns when I checked in with my friend and helped us pick out our jewelry. Clinton did my helix piercing and he kindly walked me through the process and answered all of my questions because it was my first new piercing since I had my earlobes done at a Claire's as a kid. I love my new piercing and will be going back to Lucky's to do any jewelry changes or piercings in the future :) Overall, the staff at Lucky's are fantastic people and the store is clean and professional. I would highly recommend them!

Valerie Pierre

Siobhan Flynn

Not the greatest experience. I went in to get a piercing and while the staff up front were very friendly and helpful, I feel like I was completely overcharged and didn't get what I paid for at all. The piercer seemed very rushed and like he couldn't be bothered with me even though I was paying so much. When he marked out the piercing on my ear, he literally almost went in and did the piercing without even giving me the chance to see what he was going to do which really bothered me. Everywhere else I've ever gone, the piercer would always ask what I thought and show me several options of how they could do the piercing. When I got up to look on the mirror, he yelled at me right away because I had pulled the paper away so i could actually see my ear. I probably glanced at it for a few seconds before he ushered me over to the table to resanitize. He seemed really bothered that I did that which I appreciate because I'm happy they want to keep everything very clean, but the rudeness was really uncalled for and I just didnt feel comfortable or welcomed there. There is no doubting he is very experienced and the actual piercing process went smoothly. He ended up remarking the last spot (there were three), and that one I definitely did not see. I tipped him because I always feel that I should, but I honestly wish I hadn't. I had already been charged a ridiculous amount of money and didn't get good service or what I wanted. After I got home and actually looked at the piercing, I realized it was not done the way I wanted. Both the spacing and placement was not good and I had had no opportunity to talk about what I wanted while I was there so this was the result. Even though I'd seen great examples of the piercing on his portfolio, he didn't take the time to make sure I was getting what I wanted. I ended up removing the third piercing (the one that he remarked) three days later because I was so unsatisfied and saw no point in having it heal in that spot. Hopefully, the area heals and I can go somewhere else and have the piercing placed where I actually want it. I called the store because I wasn't sure what to do before removing it and needed some guidance or suggestions and wanted to speak to a piercer about possible options or ideas about what to do with it. They didn't want to talk with me at all and told me I was on my own and that they can't tell me what to do. Obviously it was up to me, but I figured they might care since I paid them so much and they'd care about the outcome of their service and artwork. Clearly they don't. I've always stuck to very few piercers that I've grown to know and trust over the years and wish I'd continued to do that. Lucky's seemed to me to be one of the best places in the area and I was really excited to go there. I'm absolutely disappointed with their service and treatment and I feel like my ear has been ruined after I paid so much. Definitely will not be returning. Update: it's been about three and a half months since I got my piercing and my ear is in pretty bad shape. I've had the piercing looked at by other piercers in the area and they have all told me that my ear should definitely not look so angry and inflamed if I am taking proper care of it to ensure a good healing process. It is extremely red and swollen and never seems to calm down and the posts are definitely not long enough which I think adds to the discomfort. To top it off, I've gotten other piercings since then and while they were in other parts of my ear, they are healing very well and don't look nearly as bad as this one. I'm not sure what is causing this, but I have a feeling it may be the jewelry because there is no reason why the area should be staying so irritated.

Mary Lou “Mary Lou” Tierney

SO impressed with the complete end-to-end experience at Lucky's ... from Callie (front of the house) who was fantastic answering my questions, to Heather, who I first met for an assessment appointment and then for my piercings ... WOW! what a top-notch professional who really knows her stuff! She was so thorough with aftercare, put me totally at ease and was just so fantastic. I think all of Lucky's systems, rules about paying upfront, timeliness are A-OK with me ... this place is clean, beautiful, efficient, excellent and a role model of a business ... especially operating during COVID. THANK YOU for a spectacular experience! Highly recommend and I would use Lucky's again in a heart beat!

I had a great experience here! Everyone was very friendly, accommodating, and helpful from the moment I walked in. I had my rook and third pierced by Nicholas. He fully described the piercing process and made sure everything was comfortable and completely sanitary. Will definitely be going back.

I would say I'm a moderately pierced person, and I have to say that, after getting pierced at Lucky's, I will go no where else. Fast, efficient, and the least pain out of all my piercings to date.

Lucky's is great and my piercer, Lars, was very helpful! This was my first time getting my ear pierced and Lars was professional and calmed my nerves. The store was very clean and I am definitely going back later this year for another piercing!

Everyone I was greeted by was very kind and welcoming. Nic was very efficient in checking me in and my piercing specialist, Clinton, was very professional and knowledgeable. Overall great experience and I hope to go back for a tattoo once I'm able to get on a book!

Kate O'Neil

Everyone was incredibly professional. The people behind the counter were very helpful and patient when I was picking out my jewelry! The shop was super clean and very spacious. Lars was my piercer and they were fantastic. They explained every step of the process and did multiple check ins throughout the process to make sure I was doing okay; which I really appreciated! Everyone was wonderful there - would definitely go back!!

Carleigh Norton

Got two new pieces and one touched up by Caitlin and she’s amazing at what she does! Couldn’t recommend her more!!

Andrea Chinappi

Got 2 piercings here recently and could not speak more highly of my experience from start to finish. All of the staff immediately made me feel welcome and safe. Beautiful jewelry options and they helped me figure out what would look best with my ear anatomy. The shop was immaculate and sterile techniques followed to a T. Lars did my piercings and they are SO GOOD at what they do! Made me feel so comfortable, talked to me through the entire process and overall it was quick and about as painless as you can get for sticking needles in your ears :) I will absolutely be back!!

Angelina Joson

I did my first helix here with Lars, and I had a great experience! The only bone that I have to pick is that when I had to change out my post for a shorter one, I had called in advance to get a quote. The person I spoke to on the phone assured me that my total would come out to $10, so I paid that initial down payment of $10. After I came in to have it changed I was charged with an additional $10. After explaining my situation, the woman at the counter was rude and not understanding. I just wish i had known going into the situation that I would end up paying double what I had expected.

I don't normally leave reviews, but I've been to a lot of terrible piercing/tattoo shops and this place stood out as fantastic so I thought I'd show some love. I came here because I've had a piercing (I got elsewhere) that's been hurting me for a while and I wanted to get some advice on whether I should change it or take it out and let it heal. Lars was the piercer who helped me and they gave honest advice about what to do and were super gentle and quick. They ended up just taking out my piercing because it wasn't in an ideal position and as soon as my ear is ready for it, I'll definitely come back here to get pierced again. My ear has completely stopped hurting already. Thanks Lars! The place itself was wicked clean and everyone there was very professional and friendly. Would recommend to anyone looking for a place to get piercings or help with previous piercings!!

Fortune Fawale

They were so kind and welcoming, explained the whole process, and everything went smoothly!

Robert Marsh

Jenna Berger

My friends and I all got ear piercings here. All of our piercings got infected even though we cleaned them everyday. Mine got so bad I ended up in Boston Children’s Hospital because the earring was stuck in my ear. Doctor’s said it was due to the way it was pierced. Very nice staff but I wish I did not spend over $100 just to end up in the ER because of it.

Tim Tran

Everyone was friendly, helpful, and easy to talk to and place looked nice inside. Had a short wait due to many people getti g piercings but once I was up, was done within 10~ minutes or so amd had a nice chat with the person doing my piercing. Would come back if I get piercings done while visiting the area again!

Katie Robertson

I had my first piercing at the Cambridge location and I could not be happier with my experience. The building is extremely clean and the front desk staff went over all prices beforehand and were extremely friendly. My piercer Clinton was professional, friendly, and comforting. Since it was my first piercing I was very nervous and he made sure I was feeling okay during the entire appointment. My septum piercing was completely painless! (and I have a very low pain tolerance!!) I cannot recommend this place enough!!

Fiona Bishop

Margot F

I got my ears pierced with Lars and they are such a pleasure to work with! Everything was explained in depth and they let me know what was happening any time they needed to mark / clean/ touch my ears. The folks up front were super sweet and helpful as well! Nic and Sam helped me pick some unique and pretty jewelry and answered all my questions about healing and how to care for my piercings!I cannot wait to go back for more!

I had an amazing experience at Lucky's. Lars, my piercer, was very careful to position the nostril piercing and took the time to show me to make sure that I was happy with it. Lars explained every step of the process including cleanliness procedures, aftercare etc. I felt very comfortable and the piercing is healing nicely!

I got my first tattoo ever done with Caleb Colpitts at Lucky's Cambridge location. Their space is very clean and organized and all staff members were very professional. Caleb, in particular, was extraordinarily patient and explained every step of the process very clearly - this made the process seem very manageable and predictable, even though it was my first tattoo. I was a little nervous about getting a tattoo without being able to consult with the artist in person, but Caleb was extremely thorough and responsive throughout our email communications. The designs were very well thought out and greatly exceeded my expectations. The tattoos themselves came out absolutely beautiful. I was also offered the opportunity to give my opinion on design and placement throughout the process - it certainly felt like Caleb was making a genuine effort to ensure my comfort (even asking if there was any music in particular I'd like to listen to throughout the session) and satisfaction with the outcome. At no point did the process seem rushed and I felt completely comfortable making requests or giving suggestions. Everything from the decor to the staff, and of course the final tattoos, made this an incredibly enjoyable experience. The friends I've shown my tattoos to have all praised their intricate and carefully placed details and their artistry. I could probably look at them all day. There is no pain nor soreness and they seem to be healing very well. I would strongly recommend Lucky's and Caleb to anyone looking to get a tattoo, even if it is their first one.

K Jumo

Absolutely wonderful. I have had my nose pierced prior and this was so much better. Some pain but nothing compared to before. Thorough aftercare and I felt very safe. And the staff was so kind. My only issue was my own fault, the display case was so shiny and the piece that I thought I was buying was a cz stone but, it was hammered white gold. A little disappointed in myself for that but I’ll just get what I wanted next time I go in. Seriously best piercing experience to date.

Max Lisanti

Super friendly and helpful staff, love that they have a space for preferred pronouns on their piercing/tattoo forms

Linda G. W.

This review is for the piercing team at Lucky's in Cambridge! I've done helix, septum, conch piercings and various jewelry changes here. My experiences with Lars, Clinton, and Heather were always professional and friendly. My septum was a little bit crooked and they were happy to repierce it for me for free even two months later. They all will walk you through the whole process including aftercare. Everything is clean and sterile! Range of jewelry selections is abundant and diverse. Also shout out to the front desk team for assisting with sending in my broken jewelry to BVLA to repair for free. The piercing team here is wonderful! Thank you!

Such great experiences here. I love the people at the front desk, esp. Sam who has spent in total definitely more than an hour talking about jewelry with me and helping me pick out. Heather is an amazing piercer. Special shout out to Clinton my mans. I have gotten multiple piercings with him and not only is it basically painless, the aftercare is so easy - no pain. So talented. Love this place 4ever.

Lucky's is my favorite tattoo shop in the Boston/Cambridge area. I just recently got a tattoo from Drae - she is an absolute angel! Drae took every step she could to ensure my comfort and safety throughout the process. Not to mention, she is so funny and kind. I would definitely get another tattoo from Drae. My tattoo is awesome!

Very professional, I loved working with Lars and they did a great job at my piercings.

This place is amazing. Everyone is very professional and polite. I had two piercings done here by Kallie, who made sure I was always comfortable and talked me through the whole procedure. I then went in for a checkup with Clinton, who was also extremely sweet and gentle. He answered all my questions throughly and didn’t even charge me. As I said, amazing. I would recommend this place to anyone.

I went to Lucky's today for the first time and got my septum pierced. Heather was my piercer and she was amazing!!! Super friendly and very professional. She talked me through the process and made sure I was comfortable before piercing. It the quickest, easiest process and I didn't feel a thing! I can't believe it took me this long to find this business and it's a shame I haven't been getting all of my piercings here all this time, I will never get pierced anywhere else again! I live about an hour away and it was absolutely worth the trip. 10/10 would recommend :)

I’ve been to Lucky’s for both piercing and jewelry changes, and have gone with friends to several piercing appointments (pre-COVID). Everyone working there is so friendly and helpful and they have an excellent jewelry selection. I worked with Lars on my last piercing and had an awesome experience! Lucky’s is my go-to recommendation for anyone looking to get a piercing done in the Boston area.

Nicole pierced my septum and it was great. The room was clean and everything was explained to me. The piercing is healing up fine and I've had difficulty with piercings in the past. I'll be back to change my jewelry in a few weeks.

I purchased a white gold threadless end through the on-line store and was pleased with the experience. The website was easy to use and their jewelry inventory was extensive. I got a well known name brand item at a very reasonable price. I did not get a shipment notification, but I did receive the item within 7-10 days. I'm completely in love with my new jewelry!!! I will be a repeat customer.

SaiDee Gaillard

Staff was friendly and happy to answer all of my questions. I went to buy and have a piece of jewelry changed, but will happily go back for more. Pricing was fair.

Eric Perez

I got a tattoo the other day from Patrick and he absolutely knocked it out of the park. I am beyond happy with how it turned out, he is a fantastic artist. I know that if I want another tattoo in the future he's the first one I'll turn to. If you want something permanently on your body you can't go wrong with Patrick.

Michaela Herndon

I love Lucky’s! Pat gave me a few options and did a better job than I could have imagined! I’m always nervous walking into a tattoo shop but everyone was helpful, respectful and patient. I’ll definitely be back!

Erin Alysia

I went to Lucky's yesterday to downsize my nostril jewelry and get my septum pierced and it was a great experience! The shop is clean and welcoming - it's clear that they want everybody to feel comfortable here. Lars did my piercing and they did a great job! They walked me through the whole process, were fun and encouraging, and anodized my jewelry to a BEAUTIFUL color. I will definitely be back for more piercings in the future :)

Abigail Coppinger

They were very pleasant and professional. They made me very comfortable and walked me through everything. I would highly recommend them for all your piercing needs!

Won’t go anywhere else for piercings now. The whole shop is so clean, feels very safe during covid, and just in general. I’ve seen Heather twice and she’s done a beautiful job on both my ears, great placement and she makes it pretty quick and painless, and visibly sterilizes everything. Everyone at the front desk is great too, super friendly and very helpful with picking out jewelry. The jewelry is also sooo beautiful and such good quality. Can’t wait to come back for more!

Lucky's takes walk-ins - I wanted a Helix and Forward Helix piercing. Piercings are $30 each and jewelry ranges from $40 for basic titanium to several hundred per piece with diamonds. There is a wide range of jewelry to choose from and many staff to help. My piercer was professional, knowledgeable and experienced. I felt comfortable throughout the process. I know other studios offer comparable high quality services for a little less, like Chameleon. I was not mentally prepared to spend a few hundred dollars but wanted piercings I wouldn't trust someone at Claire's or Piercing Pagoda to do. Expect to spend $100+ a piercing for the jewelry you want, and ask about coupons (there was a BOGO on the piercing part, but not on jewelry). The space is well lit and the rooms are surgically sterile. Since I didn't bother to call other places on pricing, I'll only say that I had a great highly professional clean experience here. Update: my forward helix is severely swollen and the earring is embedded - not sure why this happened, but a longer post might’ve helped...

Ashley D

Great selection of piercing jewelry but high price point. Worth it in the end. Long wait times on weekends but that is expected so go early or on a weekday.

Akilah Armstrong

Susan Thornton

Very Professional.

Brianna Healey

Went in for walk in tattoos for myself a friend of mine and they were so sweet and accommodating. They did an excellent job with everything, we were so so happy with the results. I decided to get a piercing done as well and they were also very friendly and made sure I was totally comfortable before and after. Even for a walk in it was one of my best tattoo and piercing experiences I’ve ever had. I would absolutely recommend Luckys to a friend any day!

Ron Williams

Staff was very nice and professional the experience at Lucky,s was awesome. Thanks.

Clinton is incredible and everyone at the office is so kind and helpful. They will answer any questions you have over the phone (even if you’re me and have way too many). Clinton walked me through the piercing before he did it, answered any questions I had on the spot, and explained the aftercare so thoroughly. He was also so friendly which makes the experience even better!

Super friendly, professional, clean, and fast! My piercer was Lars and they were super friendly, informative, and answered my questions fully and enthusiastically. I felt completely safe and comfortable and would recommend this place to any of my friends.

very friendly staff who asked about name and pronouns. felt safe and cared for!

Jenna Rosado

Went to Lucky’s yesterday to get three helix piercings. The whole parlor was clean, tidy and the rooms were very sterile as well. Incredible staff who are very welcoming and obviously enjoy what they do. I felt very comfortable and was pleased with my experience overall! Also shoutout to Clinton for the incredible job he did. He is very knowledgeable and experienced, which is exactly what you want in a piercer. If you are in the fence, this is the place to go. Note that the earrings are a little pricier than a lot of other places I have been, but it’s worth it when you know you are being greatly taken care of and the quality of your jewelry is high standard. 10/10 would recommend.

Heisha Medina

I have gotten my cartilage pierced by Clinton and belly pierced by Heather. Everyone who works here are so kind and professional! My go to place for piercings. Definitely recommend :)

Madeline Cole

I had a great experience at Lucky’s! I got a conch piercing. Everyone from the front desk attendant, to the man who was doing my piercing was so friendly and kind. I had Clinton, and he was very professional. The facility was very clean and inviting. I will definitely be going back.

getachew Mulualem

We had past our appointment by 5 minutes and the lady that works in the front wouldn’t reschedule or refund so I didn’t get any piercings and my money went to waste . My experience here was very bad. These people are rude to costumers and not understanding. I definitely would not recommend this place for anyone.

Jadaa Bailey

Got my nose pierced here about a year ago and everything went great, today I returned to replace my nose ring and was disappointed. I knew that they would not be able to physically replace it for me due to COVID, I just wanted to buy the jewelry and go. I even had the paper work from when I got my piercing so they could assist me with getting the right size. The staff were dismissive and rude. They told me I needed an appointment to pick out jewelry because of capacity limitations. But there were only two staff members in the waiting/entrance. After interrogating me at the door for five minutes, I was let in and told I needed to be quick, but I felt so uncomfortable that I left. I’ve looked through the reviews and I see several other people with the same experience. I understand that working during a time like COVID can be overwhelming but staff shouldn’t take it out on customers who are paying for a product/service

Jeff

Employees were polite and accommodating, clean shop, very talented artists.

maryellen Duren

I had an appointment at the Cambridge shop, the shop itself is beautiful, extremely clean and put together really well. The jewelry available is so stunning, the pieces are absolutely beautiful. The staff were super friendly and welcoming. My piecer Jordan was amazing, they were friendly, knowledgeable and had such a nice energy. They did an amazing job on my lobe piercing x 2 and helix. The appointment wasnt rushed and I really enjoyed it to be honest. I would definitely recommend luckys and specifically Jordan!

Olivia Grossman

I cannot recommend Lucky’s enough! I’ve had 9 ear piercings and my bellybutton done before and Lucky’s was by far the best out of any place I’ve ever been to. Jordan was extremely professional and personable, and made me feel very at ease (I’ve never pierced my nose before so I was a bit nervous). They also provided all the after care information that I was concerned about, and the prices were reasonable. 10/10!

The BEST piercing experience I've had; the Covid precautions felt super safe, and my piercing person (Clinton) was so clear and informative about what was happening that I didn't panic and felt like I was in safe hands. I wanted to wait till about a month had passed to write this review; nothing wrong has happened with the piercing (I'm just using the rinse spray + following the basic instructions) and I'm super happy with how it's healing and looking. Can't wait to go back!!!! I would 1000000% recommend going to Lucky's if you feel like getting a piercing done.

Lucía Cúneo

Awful experience. Not professional. Definitely don’t recommend.

Alex Crawford

Bright and welcoming atmosphere! I felt like I was in good hands with their COVID safety protocols and the professionalism of their staff.

Jorge Hernandez

Employees here refused to provide service. Was told it was by appointment only (No customer was even in the store) We came to buy an earring, a little disheartening. We asked if there was any opening. One employee asked the other if they had an opening where she didn’t even look up a schedule and said no. Dude just closed the door on us. How do you keep this place open? Place looks nice but your employees are on the phone.

Sophia Garcia

I went to get a simple jewelry change with Lars. They were so sweet, explained to me exactly what they were doing as they were doing it to make sure I didn't feel any anxiety, and honestly took such good care of me. The entire shop is so welcoming, clean and just puts you at ease. Same with everyone you interact with!! If you come here ask for Lars!! They're the best!!

Kaylee Specht

Got pierced by Lars today and they truly are so gentle and amazing!!! Never had a better experience

Kendra Hebert

Lucky’s is the best! I’ve been to both the noho and Boston locations for multiple piercings and jewelry changes. From the moment you walk in everyone is super friendly and helpful in selecting the best placement and jewelry for you. All of the piercers are wonderful, walking you through the entire process and ensuring you are comfortable. Lucky’s is my go to place! I highly recommend it to everyone I know!

Kaila Shavon

Very high prices

Sam Malnati

I had an appointment with Lars today and they were so friendly and helpful! Their professionalism and care made the relatively painful experience a lot more enjoyable. I really appreciated the lengths they went to in finding a solution to work best with my anatomy. Can't wait to work with them again! :)

katie

Got my first tattoo this past week and it was overall a great experience! Very safe when it comes to COVID precautions, person at front desk was friendly and helpful, and I'm very happy with my tattoo by the super talented Pat - such a gorgeous design!

Olivia Stoddard

I used to go to Lucky’s in Northampton when in college and always had a great experience. Lucky’s Boston was a similar if not better experience. Super professional and clean in COVID times. My piercer was fun and professional and pierced my septum seamlessly. Jewelry is top quality.

Came here last year to get my nose pierced. I am extremely satisfied and still obsessed with my piercing. The staff members are extremely friendly and professional. The place is also very clean. I go back occasionally to buy some new jewelry. Let me just say, their jewelry selection is ON POINT! Lucky’s is probably the best piercing & tattoo place in Boston / Cambridge.

My daughter (14) had a ear cartilage piercing by Lars, and we were exceptionally pleased with everything! All of the staff were punctual, professional, and helpful; the place was clean, and great efforts were made to keeping things that way, including the prep of her ear and the instruments. Bravo! Would recommend this place... my daughter said it was 100x better than when she had her ear lobes pierced in a mall...

Emily Garcia

My experience at Lucky's was great! I was tattooed in the cambridge studio by Caitlin and she did an amazing job, my tattoo looks great, she was very kind and checked in on me throughout the process, and was a nice person to chat with for a few hours during the process.

KInsey Gillette

Caitlin at the Boston shop did an amazing job with my tattoo! from start to finish it was a great experience. She made me feel super comfortable and gave me a beautiful piece. I will definitely be booking with her again!

I got my nose yesterday i am soooo happy nice people clean area they're so kind can't wait to go back

Nic Laschever

This company never disappoints. I went to them for most of my tattoos in Northampton and their location in Cambridge holds up to the same amazingness. Got a cartilage piercing changed out by their piercer Lars, who was AMAZING! So sweet and conversational and very easy going. 10/10 would recommend Lucky's and especially Lars!

So yon

love this place!! employees are super nice and place is very clean. got a jewelry change, but will be coming back for other piercings too!

Hana Johnson

Such a supportive and friendly community here! I’ve gotten two piercings here and both have been wonderful experiences. Thank you guys!

I highly recommend Lucky’s. The studio is extremely clean, and there is a great selection of jewelry here as well. I went here for a set of nipple piercings done by Lars. They were highly professional and prioritized consent, explaining each step along the way. This made me feel comfortable and grateful. I left feeling beautiful and more accepting of my body.

anjelica byrne

Highly recommend Lucky’s. Beautiful shop, kind people at the front. Tara was very helpful and attentive with helping me pick out my nose ring. Lars was my piercer and they were incredible. I will definitely be going there again in the future!

Kylie Nonemaker

So I USED to be a HUGE fan of Lucky’s, got most of my tattoos and piercings done there. However, today I had a less than positive experience. I had gone in almost two weeks ago to get my piercing put back in, I had bought a new ring and once it was in we realized it was a little snug and I was told to come back if it got too swollen or bothered me. So here I go to book another appointment because it’s swollen, I had no problem paying for another deposit and new ring. My appointment was today and I got stuck at work and couldn’t make it, I called as soon as I was able and asked if I could reschedule and what to do about my deposit since the online booking system requires payment. I was told that unfortunately I was losing my deposit and would need to make another deposit for another appointment. They said I was a no call no show even though I called during my allotted time. Terrible policy and no reward for being a loyal customer and no flexibility for unplanned events. The employee who took my call also didn’t seem to sympathize at all, would definitely recommend better customer service training

Rachael Morton

I don’t even know where to begin with how awesome Lucky’s is! I’ve been there for 6 ear piercings and each time I had a wonderful experience. I saw Lars for 5 of those and they do a fabulous job at making sure the piercing is perfect and that I feel comfortable during the process.The front desk staff is also very kind and helpful. Don’t get me started on their jewelry selection. They have so many beautiful options. Thank you Lucky’s!!

Adriana Malliarou (@heartthroatink) was so awesome. Shes so talented and most of all super professional with her work. She provided the right information before and after the tattoo around what was going to happen and what to expect. Her focus on after-care was extremely comforting. You could tell she really knew her stuff. My tattoo healed perfectly and I couldn't be happier. Overall - A+++ to Adriana for her work and A+++ to Luckys for having such a clean shop. Thank you!
