Reviews of Lady Luck Tattoo & Body Piercing (Tattoo Shop)

Chris markette

Shout out to Troy at Lady Luck Tattoo and Piercing! Attentive, versatile, and overall a very talented artist. Worked with me on a custom piece and it turned out way better than I could've ever hoped for. Check out his portfolio on IG @troykingtattoos. Thanks Troy!

Ryan Foppe

My wife and I got matching tattoos while on our honeymoon and Anthony was great. He came in an hour before the shop opened, to make sure he could get us both finished before his next appointment at noon. He did an amazing job and was one of the nicest guys we've talked to on the island. Highly recommend!

Jiliana White

Lady Luck Tattoo is the only name that should be on your lips when it comes to getting a tattoo. I will only let Roy touch me. He is the owner. Very experienced, very professional and the cleanest, most sterile shop I've ever been in.

TROY AND SAM ARE THE BEST! Very clean, very professional, and such amazing artists! They use some pretty state of the art machines that are so quiet, they actually hurt less! Great place to commemorate your hawaii trip! The turtle and cat were done on our last trip!

Camille Martin

I had a great experience getting my nose pierced..... highly recommended.

Cindy Ayala

Clean and fun looking place at first sight. My artist, (whom I love now) Sam, was so patient with me in sketching exactly what I wanted! She’s got such a great personality and her ink work is just incredible!! She tattooed the Hawaiian Islands and on Oahu I have this adorable and amazing little pineapple, and just the detail alone was awesome, but the COLORS made it jaw dropping for me!!! And on The Big Island I have this GORGEOUS sunset.... wow just wow! She does amazing shading and blending! Definitely get a color tattoo with her!!! You will not be disappointed! Prices are definitely unbeatable!

Gulliver Brown

Clean, Professional, and Friendly. Best deals around on body piercing.

Alan Landon

Troy and Sam were amazing! Our group of 5 came in just before closing wanting tattoos to commemorate our amazing Big Island vacation. Troy and Sam gladly stayed late to help us end our trip on a high note! They were professional, friendly and very talented! We were all so happy with our tattoos! We highly recommend! Thanks again Troy and Sam!

Donald Ward

Got a great tattoo from Justin, really happy with his interpretation of what I wanted !!!

Ryan Bell

Ryan was great! Got in and out really quick and got great, quality work. I have 6 tattoos from him and if I ever make it back to the island then I will get many more. Can't say enough nice stuff about him. I also got my nose pierced there and it wasn't as great as my tattoo experience but it was still fine. Get your ink done here and you won't regret it.

Loni Brennan

Sam crushed it today! I walked in with a pretty vague description and a sketchy drawing, and she turned it around into something even better than I'd imagined. Decided to get an impromptu second one, just because I was so happy. Will definitely be back sis!! Shop was great - low key vibe, surf on TV, good tunes.

Brandie Radigan

High quality staff, great interesting conversation and excellent work they made our experience unforgettable and the quality was exceptional. Thank you from the Norse family in Alaska!

Stan Griffin

My wife and daughter wanted matching tattoos and we found Lucky Lady near the Kona Brewing Company. We met Troy at Lucky Lady and he worked very patiently with the 2 of them to explain their options on tattoo location, size, colors, and most importantly, the patterns for a matching honu. After we went in, we left a deposit, then he spent the next few days sending them examples and working with them to pick out and customize the designs they were comfortable with. The tattoos were excellent, and he gave us follow-up info for the healing process and any future touch ups they might need. The bottom line is that Troy is an excellent, dedicated artist who puts the customer first and doesn't pressure anyone. He explains the pros and cons of every aspect of the process and helps you decide because he understands that tattoos are permanent and he wants you to be happy and proud of your choices. Mahalo Troy!

Chris Mahoney

Anthony did a great job on both me and my fiances tattoos, the shop was very comfortable, I will definitely come back for another tattoo when I visit Hawaii again

Justin Macariola

Big shout out to my bradda justin Maldonado at lady luck !! Did an amazing job on all my tattoos! Takes pride into his work and makes you feel comfortable in his chair when it comes down to buisness. Big mahalos !

Michael Fielder

I was a walk in today. Like a lot of their clients. I have A LOT of tattoos and my wife wanted me to get one to commemorate our trip AND as an early Father's Day present. I came in with an idea and was immediately introduced to Troy. We went over the design idea and size. In less than half an hour I was sitting in the back getting tattooed. While I was there I watched how the artists interacted with the clients. They understand they are in a service industry. The shop is clean. They offered my family and I water. I would go here again in a second and probably will whenever I make it back to the Big Island.

Jon Corry

I walked in with a picture and an idea of what I wanted, Justin took my ideas and photo and asked if he could give me some ideas, his ideas where awesome and now I have a piece better than expected. Thank you my friend.

Derrick Hart

This is the place. Super friendly and talented people. They made us feel at home. They took there time to custom design my tattoo. Really happy with my choice going there. I got a full custom tattoo there and the whole time I felt like family.

katrina schaal

Many mahalos to Mr Troy King. After getting tattooed by him in January, I knew I couldn't stay away. He re-outlined a large, 15 yr old back piece I never had finished; squeezing me in as I had no appointment. The lines are so crisp & clean; the piece has been brought back to life. I can't wait to come back for the shading & coloring. He has a very gentle touch and is super conscious of his clients' comfort. I highly recommend him & plan to be a regular. I would also like to extend my utmost gratitude to the tattooist (I'm sorry for forgetting your name) who took my daughter to the restroom & waited; keeping her safe.

Grace Harney

Thank you Marlon for the beauitful tattoo. Clean and safe enviornment.

Reto Kaufmann

Marlon is a very talented tattoo artist! I heard good things about Lady Luck Tattoo so I went to check it out, when I got there I started talking with Marlon and I was impressed with his artwork and decided to get 2 of them. It was a very professional and pleasant experience from A-Z! Thank you very much, I'll stop by again next time I'm in the area!

Dylan Scott

Roy did great on my tattoo. It was my first and I wanted something to remember it by.

Sarah S.

Justin Maldonado did an absolutely fantastic job on my cover-up tattoo. It was a difficult cover-up because there were a ton of fine lines everywhere, but he really did a beautiful job. I was a little nervous because he needed to do the whole thing free hand so I had to put A LOT of trust in him...and I'm so glad I did!! Justin was also extremely professional and respectful - the tattoo is on my lower stomach and it would have been so easy for it to feel awkward with the location but Justin was so professional about everything I felt 100% comfortable the entire time. I'm already making plans for him to add on to it for whenever I make it back to Hawaii! Pictures are the the in-progress showing what he was covering & the finished work. You can see the rough outline he drew as a guide and everything was free hand.

Xzandria 111

Had Justin draw me up a turtle design with the Hawaian islands in the shell for the back of my leg. Came back the following day and saw it, he did an amazing job. By far the best tattoo I have ever had and I have a few of them. Thanks for the great work. Would get all my tats there if I lived here.

Balls Deep

Was a Walk In and Justin M. Took me in and created a masterpiece freehand.. Everyone there was friendly and professional.

Rigo Langston

We went there on a vacation and got a tattoo, they did a phenomenal job with all of it! Sam (one of the artists) took the time to get ahold of me for the info AFTER WORK HOURS! My artist (Marlon) did super fine detail in the feathers even though it was super small! 10/10 could not be happier with it and the shop was super super clean! Would recommend going here for the great tattoos and even better people!

Stephanie Gomez

Love from Denver! They were super personable and let us stay an hour past closing time to finish our tattoos. Thank you so much Sam and Marlon for being wonderful!

Breanna Rea

I was told about this place by a friend and it did not dissapoint. Even though I was nervous Heidi my piercer did an amazing job of making me feel better when getting my nose pierced! The overall environment was friendly and inviting and the prices were great. 10/10 would and will recomend. Thank you to the people @ Lady Luck!

Roy Compton

This place is great

zipporah sye

My Lady Luck experience was frickan awesome!!! Justin Maldonado is amazing!!! He puts your tattoo vision into work. 3 of us went who never had a tattoo and we all are very pleased. Lady Luck is affordable and puts out top quality. I will diffantly come back here and get more art work done. I diffantly recommend Justin if u never had a tattoo because he’s light handed which is good cause it was nearly pain free. Haha now I have a new addiction.

tiedye hobo

Good art

Jennifer Lashley

Friendly, clean, and priced well.

SidneyNohe Almeida

Hands down the best place to get your tattoos and piercings!! I highly recommend them!!!

Devon Hudspeth

Hands down one of the best places to get tattoos. Justin in particular turned our requests into fantastic tattoos that we love.

Elliott Perez

Great shop with amazing people, really dope set up. Troy king has awesome line work and really good with detail. Highly recommend Lady Luck tattoo.

BADNTATTED808 TV

Unfortunately I will no longer be tattooing at this shop I will be located across the street at packing ink tattoos mahalo and aloha

missy bani

Got my lip pierced there twice. No problems and great service. Cheap piercings.

Vausha Snyder

I was going to get my tongue pierced here. I went in and I met with their piercer. Before I could ask him any questions he got out everything. But then I asked a question where he proceeded to grab his portfolio with his gloved hands to answer it. But the binder had no tongue piercings in it to show me a picture of. Then he went to grab for the needle with the contaminated gloves and went to open the sterile needle. At that point I knew he wasn't practicing safe piercing. So I walked out. If sterilization isn't a first priority then I don't need to be pierced there.

Diana Morris

Amazing! Justin is fabulous, super light hand, fast and excellent work, great prices

Jesse tai

I got my nose pierced here and it was the best experience I’ve had. The staff was very friendly and made me feel comfortable while doing the job. Definitely recommend!

Great experience, personal treatment by personable staff. Husband will return for more work in 2020.

Great job Heidi!!! She pierced my sons ears and my ear. Very affordable! I am vacationing here and went to this spot based off reviews and after speaking with Heidi on the phone. GREAT Choice!

Chris Oandasan

First impression, very professional. Justin is very welcoming, made us feel at home the whole time. Super happy with his work. I will be back in 2-3weeks. Mahalo nui Justin.

Chris Slater

My girlfriend and I came in today thinking we were just going to walk onto a casual shop and get some flash work done. Nothing special you know? We were very wrong. Troy met us at the door and helped us the whole way through. We both ended up with fantastic work at a GREAT price. Troy took his time and was very professional throughout the process. He explained what he was doing while he was doing it and customized his work based off of our needs making the art feel very personal to us. Thank you so much Troy, we will be back to get more work done the next time we visit Hawaii!

Michelle Browder

Best place!! Very clean! Justin is an exceptional artist and is able to transfer that into a great tattoo! Told him what I was looking for and he made it happen. Justin definitely knows what he's doing. Great customer service and prices

Jacob Haworth

This shop was awesome. TROY is an amazing artist and would highly recommend him to anybody. The shop was very accommodating. We had a large group of 5 & just walked right in. Everyone in the shop did a great job!

Naomi Leanne

I got my first tattoo here and I’m so happy with how it turned out, the artist that did my tattoo was Anthony and he did a great job with listening to my requests and creating my tattoo, my brother was very impressed with the work and found no mistakes with the final result, I would highly recommend this place

Justin Aldana

A little over priced, but good quality

Shane Young

Artist: Justin Maldonado My wife and I just got our tattoos done by Justin. We had done a ton of research on what we wanted. We both wanted Polynesian style tattoos. However, we wanted them to have legitimate meaning. So we brought in our ideas that we had designed in our heads and described them as best we could to Justin. It was crazy how excited he got about the tattoos. Being of Hawaiian descent, he was grateful for the amount of research we had done in trying to get tattoos that told a story about us and not just getting something simply because it looked cool. Justin did an awesome job of taking our ideas and bringing them to life. He was able to create designs that were far better than what we had imagined in our minds. Not only that, but he also incorporated some historical symbols from the Hawaiian lineage that added a VERY personal touch them. Something from his own personal family history that made our tattoos not only special to us, but special to him as well. Our tattoos legitimately brought client and artist together, especially since our tattoos tell the story of our struggles through life and the story of my parent's death. Justin said that he was honored to place his culture's art on our bodies, knowing they would be carried with honor and respect. His connection to his culture and the education he gave us on the things we did not yet know was incredible and made the experience even more meaningful for us. As far as technique, he is second to none. His lines were crisp and he was constantly encouraging and engaging throughout the entire process. My wife's tattoo required free hand water color design that turned out AMAZING. Justin explained to us the technique of making the watercolor look legitimately splashed on and not appear like it was intentionally animated onto the skin. He also took the time to ensure we had the tools, and the knowledge, to properly take care of our new tattoos. He takes GREAT pride in his work and he does an incredible job at making your imagined designs come to life. And he makes you feel comfortable, and confident, throughout the entire process. We are definitely going to be visiting him again the next time we are in Hawaii.

tintmasterlacy kona boys

My step-daughter's and I got tattoos while on vacation from a young Hawaiian man. He did a great job and gave us a great price! Wish he lived closer to us!

Great experience at Lady Luck. Everybody was very nice and happy to take their time to set you up with the tattoo and style you desire. Thanks Troy king for an amazing first tattoo and being a very nice guy! Also shouts out to Marlon for hooking up my gf with a great tattoo!

Gerald Gibour

Friendly and knowledgeable people work here. I had Anthony and my wife had Sam. My tat was custom and Anthony designed it perfectly. My wife's was also custom and hers came out great. They read our minds and put it on our skin. Beautiful colors and impecable tats. Can't say enough about this place. We WILL be back next year.

Jenny Rolfe

Great experience! Troy does sharp clean lines and has a real eye for detail.

Kainen Bohol

Professional, Clean accommodative

Odean Hall

Lady luck tattoo. I had Anthony finish a sleeve I have been working on for several years during my visit to the big island. Everyone was friendly and helpful during my decision making process as I decided how to tie the rest of my artwork together. Anthony did an outstanding job hitting the nail on the head finishing my sleeve. The shop was clean and professional. I checked out several other shops before I made my decision. I will definitely be back again!

Ferol Kolons

Very clean and professional place. Samantha was amazing and I love my new ink.

Aukai Tegman

I had an awesome experience. I went in and spoke to Justin about what I wanted and he was able to capture it, and lay it put onto paper. He nailed it to the T. Clean organized space, friendly people, awesome ink.

Gregg Lawson

Troy King did a fantastic job on my wife's and my Hawaii tattoos. My very first one ever and it is amazing. The customer service is unbelievable, the atmosphere is great and his skill at traditional art (hula girl, palm trees, beach)is out of this world. He designed our tattos to be similar, but unique. Thanks Troy for the fantastic memories.

Michelle Wolfe

Troy King managed to fit us in for a last minute tattoo request. He was helpful in choosing a design, friendly, professional, and did a great job. We are very happy with his service and if we lived in the area, we would be return customers. I recommend stopping in to see what they have to offer.

Darryl Brown

Justin Maldonado is the best TATTOO ARTIST IN THE WORLD. Way better than all the tattoo artist on Tv. Justin gave me the best First Tattoo I could possibly get. I got the biggest tattoo I could on my back and it didn’t even hurt. I am going to make sure Justin does ever tatto I get and I am planning on getting another ASAP! Therefore Lady Luck Tattoo is the best tattoo parlor in the world because its clean comfortable reasonable prices and gives the best Tattoos in the world! Thank you Justin and Lady Luck for everything! I look forward to getting another Tattoo from Justin Maldonado ASAP. Thanks again I’m recommending Justin Maldonado and Lady Luck Tattoo parlor to everyone I see! Mahalo!!!

Julie Bouchard-Doyon

I had my nose pierced at Lady Luck. I came in without an appointment. Very professional and safe place. Cheaper than other businesses around :)

lori-ann zajac

Great experience. Highly recommend this shop. They took the time to work with me and knew which artist would be the best for my design. That artist was Justin. He did a fabulous job and made it painless. (Well as painless as possible

Kuipo Espejo

Anthony did my first tattoo. Definitely see him for pieces. Love it! We got matching tattoos

Robin Main

We had the most AMAZING EXPERIENCE With Justin.. we went to several other artists and just meeting them we did not feel good about them.. we went into Lady Luck and they were very helpful and we immediately made an appointment.. justin was not in but by his reviews we were really hoping to get him.. well a few hours after appt was made we had a very nice text from Justin. We were so excited!! He did a custom drawing of what we wanted and he hit it out of the park! He did exactly what we wanted and even more !! He was so humble and kind he is the true spirit of Aloha!! By the time we left we were friends! Just an amazing artist when others say he’s best in the world they are not lying!!! I highly recommend him.. we will fly from Washington for him to do any other work we have done!! We love Justin!!
