Review content:
When my wife and I first moved to Washington, we went on the hunt for 'our' new tattoo shop, some place we could dedicate ourselves to when it came to getting our future work done.
Without naming names, I'll say that we went to every other shop in Silverdale, as well as every shop we could find in Kitsap County. While most were bad [based on levels of cleanliness, talent, and professionalism], there were a couple of good shops, but Lucky Boys stood out the most.
We've both been customers of the shop for going on three years now, and I can honestly say that I have yet to see anything questionable go on there. Their cleanliness and use of sterile technique rivals that of Harrison [seriously, when I went to get a laceration treated, people were trying to touch it WITHOUT gloves], and the atmosphere and comfort level simply can't be matched.
Every artist does something a little different, and their personalities are all very different, but they all mix together quite nicely, and spending time in the shop feels like spending time with a family, which they do their best to make you feel a part of.
As far as the work is concerned, D-Bot and Sam both do excellent jobs on the piercing front, and on several occasions I have seen them turn customers away because they were either uncomfortable with what was being requested, or because the anatomy just wasn't right. However, when declining to do a piercing, they always explain why, and give a referral to a well reputed shop that may be able to accommodate the customer. Some people may view this as poor customer service, but I think it's the BEST kind of customer service you could ask for in a situation like this, and that's honesty. Sure, they could do a shady surface piercing in a weird spot, but if there's a 90% chance it's going to migrate out, what's the point? You'll be unhappy, and as a result, so will they.
When it comes to tattoos, their prices are a bit higher than most, but you get what you pay for, right? I've never seen a bad piece come out of this shop, and as I said, my wife and I have been frequenting the shop for about three years now. I'd suggest coming in to do a meet & greet/consultation first, because they're generally too busy for walk-ins.
Other than that, come on in, ask questions, and get some work done! These guys will always make you feel welcome, and will always give you an honest answer for any question you might have. Two thumbs way up.
