Reviews of Lucky Dagger Tattoo

Sara Wuillermin

Probably the best tattoo shop experience I've had thus far!! I only wish I would have found them sooner! After finding the shop based on proximity to where I was staying and its high ratings, I stopped by in person to ask some questions to see if the shop would be a good fit/would be able to accommodate my preferred tattoo style. I had the chance to speak to the artist I'd be working with that day. From that first conversation to my actual appointment, Keith was so respectful, patient, and kind. He did everything he could to make sure I felt comfortable and heard throughout the process and took his time to make sure we got the placement just right for the tattoo. I've been to a lot of shops who have been dismissive and downright rude when I ask if they do white ink, but Keith was very accommodating and cool about my request. The good vibes extended out to the rest of the staff I encountered, too. Another artist who happened to be onsite was also super helpful and offered feedback/advice for placement while we were applying the stencil and gave solid advice before starting the tattoo process. I really appreciated how supportive the artists were of each other, willing to collaborate and listen to feedback. I was also incredibly appreciative that they offered pasties so I could keep the girls semi-covered while getting my sternum tattooed. They even offered to put up an extra curtain if I wanted additional privacy. The shop was clean, well setup, and very comfortable. I most definitely will be back the next time I'm in town!

When I lost my furbaby in June I knew I wanted to memorialize her with a tattoo and I spent weeks researching tattoo shops and artists. As fate would have it, I found Angel at Lucky Dagger. I loved her work, particularly how she did animals with fur. She makes them look so realistic. This was my first tattoo and was extremely ambitious, but she was enthusiastic and gracious enough to offer to split the work into different sessions. In the end I sat for the full 5 hours and she could not have been any more encouraging or engaging. Angel was an absolute joy to work with and I will be forever grateful to her for making my girl, in all her glory, a literal part of me.

We visited for my birthday and started coordinating a couple weeks beforehand. I loved what the shop stood for and the vibe was even better. Clare was fantastic for my husband and I and now we have our beautiful first tattoos thanks to her.

Jenna Preble

Some friends and I were traveling to New Orleans from out of town and wanted to get coordinating tattoos. We found Lucky Dagger online and immediately wanted to support a progressive, woman-owned business. We submitted a request and received an email back pretty quickly. We gave our artist (Clare) some pictures for inspiration and we were so happy with what she designed for us. It was my first tattoo and Clare was mindful of that and super gentle. It was a really positive experience. I loved the vibe of the whole shop and I would definitely come back for another tattoo.

Max Palmer

I got a tattoo with Jacqui today and the attention and care she put into it was incredible. You can tell this is a very experienced artist. Other staff in the shop at the time were super friendly and funny. Great neighborhood vibes all around. Will 100% be coming back.

Ellan Landry

Loved everything about our experience! The minute we walk in for our appointment everyone was so nice. Everyone was helping us when we had questions about the paper. (One of our party had just turned 18) Clare was our artist and she is AMAZING. We had 3 tattoos done for a girls trip. There were details that we were unsure about with the tattoo. Clare took the time and listened and made several drawing and even helped us when we couldn't decide what to do. It was one of the best tattoo experiences I've had ever. I do not live in the area but I'm more than willing to drive the 4 hours to come here for all future tattoo work.

Kimmy E

Absolutely love this tattoo shop! First you are welcomed by artists and front desk staff... whom are all so wonderful and lovely! We were on a dinner time crunch and they were able to get us in and out before we knew it! Yes, there were two of us getting tattooed one after the other. She was so fast and light-handed I am still to this day shocked! Love love my tattoo and when we visit again you will definitely be seeing me! Thank you Clare!!

Ana Grigsby

Clare was awesome! We were visiting for Mardi Gras and wanted to get a couple voodoo doll tattoos. She communicated with us ahead of time. We got there and she was ready to go. Highly recommend!

Melody McKiver

Super friendly and accommodating service. Queer-positive environment, and really worked to squeeze me in on a minimal custom design walk -in with Keith while I was visiting. Highly recommended, especially for greyscale and illustration styles. Also appreciated that artists are still masking and thinking about community health during this pandemic. I'm really picky about my tattoo artists and had a great atmosphere of trust immediately.

Samantha Kerzic

Keith Ansel was awesome!!!! We are from Birmingham but would drive back to use him. He is amazing! My daughter, who got her 1st tattoo and I texted a concept to him and he did a magnificent job coming up with the perfect design for both of us. We have very different tastes but wanted the same basic design and he was able to capture both of our styles perfectly!!! Great artist and great personality!!! Would highly recommend him!!! Than you Keith for a memory for us that will last a lifetime!

Bayley Fazende

I had an absolutely great experience at Lucky Dagger tattoo. Everyone there was nice and friendly. My tattooers April contributed highly to that. She created a design that I love and am happy to have inked on me forever. She’s a great conversationalist and has a very bright future ahead of her. I look forward to getting more tattoos from her in the future!

Travis Irvine

Had an absolutely wonderful experience here. Dani was very kind to take me and my parents in for a tattoo while we were here visiting new orleans. They couldn't have turned out better. Very clean and friendly atmosphere. 100% recommend to anyone in the area that is looking for a tattoo.

Sarah Warfel

This was hands down the best experience ive had while being tattooed! Jacqui was absolutely amazing, and designed my tattoo perfectly! I’m already planning my next visit, and see myself returning here as much as possible! Honestly cant recommend them enough!

RatchRog

Dani made me first tattooing experience an absolute breeze and I left beyond satisfied. I came with an idea for an original design that was pretty convoluted to start with but she took all of my ideas and made sure they were all incorporates in the final product. She was very communicative about the whole process and made me feel at ease.

Sawyer Sherrill

I got my first tattoo here, and I must say I absolutely loved this place. Jacqui was awesome, I couldn't have gotten a better tattoo anywhere else. Furthermore, the atmosphere and the rest of the artists there were really cool as well. Give this place a visit!

Rachael H

Vibes of the whole shop were immaculate. The space was very clean and tidy. Dani and Bob were both great and I am obsessed with Dani’s work!! I will absolutely be coming back for any future tattoos.

Ebony Renee

I definitely see why this place has 5 stars! OMG.... Great experience getting my tattoo with Dani.... She's mad dope! She was able to squeeze my sister and I in for a last minute appointment and I'm definitely glad she did! The space is very welcoming...the whole vibe there is dope af! You won't be disappointed going there to get some work done! @tattoosbydani504 FB: Dani Odo [email protected]

Sarah Miller

Beautiful place, amazing art, & incredible artists. I can honestly trust them all to get any piece done beautifully, & with great skill. April has done 3 awesome tattoos on my boyfriend, that turned out great, Jacqui did my large thigh piece (a tribute for my dad), that looks wonderful, & Dani has started my biggest, & most beautiful piece so far. Of course it's not finished yet, but it already looks so amazing! I love these artists, & have decided to go to them for any & all of my future tattoos. ❤

Adriana Bourgeois

I've gotten two tattoos from April and it was a great experience! The shop is clean, cute, and there is privacy from the front desk. Everyone there was very welcoming and I get compliments on the artistry of my tattoos from here all the time. Their merch is also great. Can't recommend this shop enough, especially April if you are looking for Japanese inspired art or a unique anime/manga tattoo.

Olivia Rossi

What a wonderful experience! This was my first shop I chose to go to after Covid and all of the restrictions. Not only was everyone in the shop super professional, but friendly, genuine, and engaging. I had my appointment with Jacki who is a dream! Communication before the appointment was fast and transparent; I knew just what to expect. I gave her an idea of what I wanted and she did not disappoint! For real! I am so happy with my traditional harpie lady, I admire her daily. I highly, highly recommend anyone looking for a shop to consider Lucky Dagger and the whole crew over there!

alyson feazell

this is the BEST tattoo shop i’ve ever been to. everyone is so nice and you can feel the creativity as soon as you walk in the door! i’ve been tattooed by jacqui and clare and they were so nice, caring, professional, and all around a blast to be with! i could not recommend this shop more💖 …

Nikell Johnson

My tattoo artist Clare was great. She executed my idea perfectly. I am satisfied with the results and will definitely visit again when I'm in the area.

Kayla Willis

Amazing place. Got my first tattoo ever done by Clare and she was super understanding and responsive to all my questions. Overall great vibes and beautiful tattoo.

Kelly Grimes

Clare was prompt to respond to my tattoo inquiry! She totally understood my vision and I couldn’t be happier with my second, beautiful and meaningful tattoo. She is by far the best and wild recommend 100%.

Bill Hicks

I got my first tattoo last Saturday at age 64. It was a Leo glyph. Clare was my artist and I would recommend both Clare and this business to others. Thanks Clare and Jacqui! Looking forward to winning the raffle so I can get my dream tattoo.

Jonathan Delman

Dani was patient and gave me such a lovely and delicate lotus flower. Great conversation too. Highly recommend!

Ryan R

Jacqui absolutely crushed it, super talented and a really cool person. Couldn’t be happier with my zombie cowboy, can’t wait for my next session!

Breanne Dupuy

i had the pleasure of having my first tattoo done by april. i had followed her on instagram for about 2 years and had only heard amazing reviews about her from my friends. she is extremely knowledgeable, and funny, and made everything very comfortable! she was super helpful in answering all of the questions that i had beforehand and afterwards. the shop itself it’s bright, clean, fun, and super cute! all of the girls were friendly and welcoming. everything about their shop makes the drive from baton rouge to new orleans completely worth it. since my first visit, i recommended the shop to my friend franke who went and got a sailor moon tattoo done by dani, and she LOVES it (as do i)!!! i’m so happy to have found this shop & april, can’t wait to see y’all on saturday for my next tattoo!

Sophie Ollin

Friendly staff, awesome tattoo designs, professional and efficient. Easy to book in & responsive to emails. Super happy with my finished tattoo!

grungeous_ McDonald

Had an appointment with Angel today. Drove down from BR. Everything about my visit was pleasant. Friendly service at the counter and Angel is the best. So friendly and very talented. The eclectic decor throughout the lobby leads your eyes all around. Nice people, lovely shop.

Cheyenne

I love this tattoo shop! I recently got my first ever tattoo from Jacqui and she did not disappoint. I know a few people who go to this place regularly for their tattoos. It's in a nice, central location. All of the staff are super friendly people and they attract great customers. I will definitely be booking again soon!

Brittney Caywood

I loved my experience at Lucky Dagger! The atmosphere was peaceful and the artwork inside is gorgeous. The artist I chose,Jacqui,was amazing! She collaborated with me to create a gorgeous work of art that I absolutely adore. She was very knowledgeable and has helped me with the cleaning and care process as well. I’m very pleased with my tattoo and I can’t wait to go back for more!

Matthew Wilczynski

Angel was my tattoo artist. Very professional and crushed out the tattoo. Incredibly happy with with the whole experience. Loved the shops vibes, it was eclectic and very clean. Will be back

kaizuh

Absolutely wonderful tattoo shop, everyone was extremely kind and welcoming. Also made a friend getting a tattoo the same time as me. Lovely environment, very professional, very clean and sanitary throughout (: love the energy here, definitely one of my best tattoo experiences because of Keith and without a doubt will be coming back for more ink!

Devan Livaudais

Hands down the most incredible tattoo experience I could have ever wished for. This phenomenal shop is queer-owned, woman-owned, and Asian-owned. All of the tattoo artists were super friendly and even came by to chat, but I will focus on Angelique, as she was my OUT OF THIS WORLD tattoo artist. I had an ambitious first tattoo and Angelique made me comfortable, explained everything, and made me feel confident leaving the shop. Her talent and gift is beyond anything I’ve ever seen and I’m eternally grateful for her sharing her gift with me. Definitely check out this shop for quality work and a top notch experience.

Kimberly Weatherman

I got a couple of fantastic finger tattoos from Dani at the Lucky Dagger Tattoo while I visited New Orleans. Her art is creative, I absolutely love it and her lines are clear and fine! Dani and the shop made it easy for me to work out the details ahead of time... I could not be happier, I love my tattoo's!!!

Gabriele Parr

This was the most supportive and comforting environment for my first tattoo. Everyone in the shop was so welcoming and cheerful! Clare was my artist and she was so patient and willing to listen to all of my picky requests. The entire experience was perfect and my tattoo came out beautifully. I highly recommend this business!

Scott Vander Meer

I've been following Coyle since 3 shops prior to Lucky Dagger and since he's been there over the last year, this shop is the only one where you feel like part of the family. Everyone is friendly and will help you brainstorm any idea you have. They will work with your schedule and will give you the tattoo you always wanted. Huge fan!

Madeline Mowry

I’ve gotten 2 tattoos from Keith, and my husband got his first tattoo from April. We had the best experiences so far and will definitely be going back!

Sarah Coates

I absolutely recommend Lucky Dagger Tattoo to all of my friends looking for a new tattoo! Dani did an absolutely amazing job with the add on’s to my Disney castle. Great atmosphere and my artist Dani made the time fly! I can’t wait to go back in July to continue my sleeve!

Sam Murphy

April and Kevin are the only two artists I’ve ever been tattooed by, and they’re both absolutely wonderful! April is always so patient and encouraging for the bigger pieces, and Keith was just so great to talk to. I have multiple friends that have tattoos from here, and they all had great experiences. Plus their Friday the 13th flash days are managed super well, and the wait was totally worth it.

Allie Bennett

i got my first tattoo by jacqui back in april 2021 after a while of wanting a piece done by her and it was honestly such a great experience. jacqui captured exactly what i wanted, but did it better than i could've ever imagined. the vibe of the entire shop is great, the quality of work (of all the artists) is fantastic; overall, i can't recommend lucky dagger enough!

nick philipello

I went here for my first tattoo and honestly had no idea what to expect and had zero knowledge on the topic. Even so, Clare took really good care of me. She walked me through what the process would be without skipping detail, allowing me to ask any questions I needed, told me all my options, and even made sure I was comfortable with each step of the tattoo process. She and the rest of the staff were super kind and welcoming, the building was clean and practiced quality hygiene/cleanliness practices. 10/10 would recommend and definitely will be back for many appointments! The Bulbasaur tattoo I got was everything I wanted it to be and more!

Haley Hampton

This is an awesome little shop! It is very clean, well decorated, and smells great, in addition to having some dope energy. Each artist has a different style and is excellent at their work. I got a tattoo from Jacqui and thought the process, from booking & discussing ideas, to checking out, was as seamless and "painless" as getting a tattoo can be. I have friends who have gotten art from Dani & April and have only the best to say as well.

Ashley Glaze

First time in New Orleans and wanted a tattoo to commemorate the experience. The reviews for this shop were fantastic so I sent a couple emails and was able to book an appointment about a week in advance. Sent a few photos and the idea of what I wanted. Coyle was great. Definitely recommend if you are in need of new ink

FoolishDaisy Linh

April Jay did my first 3 tattoos and one of them was a cover up and April was really creative with my cover up when I told her I wanted something from the movie spirited away and I trusted her with the process and the coverup was amazing!! not only that but she’s great with communicating and making sure her clients are comfortable and she’s amazing with her own style . She definitely loves the details she puts in every tattoo , as a bartender -locals point out my tattoos and knows it’s an “April jay tattoo !!” Absolutely the best experience- at the shop everyone there was unbelievably amazing with their clients and definitely their merchandise is really cool too! Everyone at the shop is so close knit it makes you so at ease right away with good vibes!

Nikell Johnson

My entire experience was fantastic Clare was very easy to work with. I sent my tattoo idea to her and executed it perfectly.

S&M Walker

Amazing service as always! I always feel so comfortable and welcomed. April did such a great job; her work is always *chefs kiss*

Denisse

I absolutely adore Lucky Dagger! It has by far been the best tattoo experience I have ever had. I have gotten two tattoos by April, and not only was it incredible artistry (some of the PRETTIEST tattoos I have ever seen), but I felt so welcome. Everyone in the shop is so nice, and the place itself is really inviting. The vibes were immaculate, and I couldn’t have asked for better. I will 100% be coming back here, and I definitely encourage anyone who wants a beautiful tattoo with the best experience to come here too!

Drew Crismon

We LOVED this place! Their process was efficient, they were so helpful, and we left with a fantastic experience. They made it easy for us as walk-ins. Clare was so helpful for taking our ideas and making them just how we wanted them. Her craftsmanship and precision were top notch and she was so much fun to work with! Thanks for making this such an enjoyable experience!

Laura Taylor

I was really nervous about getting my first big tattoo but Jacqui is amazing! Super sweet and made sure I was comfortable. The shop is also in a great location. Free parking on the street around the corner if you get lucky 🤞🏼 And she did an amazing job on all my tattoos, I’m always getting asked who did them. She was also super accommodating when I already had an appointment booked and she squeezed in my cousin with me so we could finally get the matching tattoos we’ve been planning for 3 years!

Ross Macumber

Outstanding tattoo shop , clean and welcoming environment. Jacqui is a top tier tattoo artist and I absolutely love my new tattoo. Definitely will get additional work done here when I visit NOLA again.

Reagan Ulrich

Lucky Dagger is FANTASTIC!!!! Love all the artists’ work there! Super professional & comfortable. Dani did my first ever tattoo and has done multiple since! Can’t rec them enough!

Dan G

We are out of town visiting for the weekend and me and my wife wanted to start a tradition of getting a tattoo from every state we visit. Coyle Parker completely blew our expectations out of the water. He responded right away. His prices are fair. He’s friendly and easy to work with and his work is amazing. The only negative I can think of is that any tattoo artists we find in future states will seem like trash compared to him.

Storm Wells

This is my absolute favorite tattoo shop! The environment, the people, the art, and the professionalism. I used to be so nervous to get tats but I finally found a place I feel where the artists listen and truly care about their work and the client! Bottom line is if they are employee’d by Lucky Dagger I trust them! 10/10 Can’t wait for my next one soon 😈 STAY AWESOME YALL! 🗡

Jessica Cogan

I can't say enough good things about Angel and Lucky Dagger. I had a tattoo that needed an upgrade. Angel was responsive, collaborative, professional and friendly through multiple consultations. And her work? Just WOW. Highly creative and artistic and the result is just beautiful. Looking forward to working with her again. Highly, highly recommend.

Nicholas

I was in town for work and decided that I wanted to get a tattoo. Everyone I talked to pointed to lucky dagger and I can see why! I was very anxious, been about 10 years when I got my last tattoo. Everyone inside was so kind and treated me not like a customer but like a friend. I absolutely love what I got.

Kaitlyn Thompson

I had an amazing time at Lucky Dagger! I was searching for a new studio when I came across LD, and I was so excited to book with them as they are a BIPOC and woman owned business! Over half the tattoos I have are from Lucky Dagger, and I am extremely happy with the way they turned out. Dani, my go-to artist, is communicative, kind, and extremely talented. My tattoos healed with no problems, and they look amazing. I will be returning as soon as I can!

Savannah Thibodeaux

Dani you as absolutely incredible! She did a wonderful floral piece on my upper arm that was clean, beautiful, and took less than two hours. I HIGHLY recommend this place!!

Shamia Hopper

Lucky dagger is the best! My friends and I were looking for a shop to get tattoos and we ran across Lucky Dagger! They got us in within 15-20 minutes. They were transparent. Keith was very attentive to detail and ensured we were satisfied with our sketches before he began. The atmosphere of the entire shop was a great vibe, the other artists were warm and just friendly! I can’t wait to go back!

Jazmin Hamza

Dani is amazing! My tattoo came out perfect, clean and even better than I thought. It was a last minute plan on our trip and I am so happy I found Lucky Dagger and Dani. The shop is friendly, welcoming to all and clean. I highly recommend!

Danielle Donegan

I've gone to a few different tattoo shops here in New Orleans and this was by far my favorite experience! I received a medium size piece from Angelique (@wildroottattoo on IG) and she did an amazing job. I came in with a design and she worked with me to pick out the best size, colors, and placement and made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire process. 10/10 would recommend!

Miller Tuohy

Very clean, inviting, accommodating shop! Love to support women owned biz. Big shoutout to Dani for coming in on her day off to tattoo us! Shes so friendly and made for a great experience. Awesome work, will be back for more soon !

Hannah Neale-Malkasian

I have 3 tattoos from 3 different artists at this shop. They are ALL AMAZING. I have a portrait of my dog that I get complimented on daily. I can't say enough good things abt this shop. Wouldn't go anywhere else at this point.

Amber S

I did a get-what-you-get with Clare a couple days ago and it was a great experience! I texted the shop number to be sure there was time for a walk in, showed up at the time they gave me, and everything was cool. If you want a fun, spontaneous tattoo, the coin machine is awesome. I ended up with the tat I'm attaching a picture of, and I love my little demon! Clare was open to straying from traditional style colors, so I got his tongue in rainbow. The shop is on a busy street with lots of tourists so be sure to call or text before you go to make sure they have time for walk-ins. Also, can you believe this tat was done less than 2 days ago?! Super solid work plus whatever the fancy saniderm they use, and it's healing so fast. Thanks for the work, Clare! I'll definitely be back.

Emily Braun

Had such a good experience at Lucky Dagger! My friend and I came in to get matching tattoos, and they turned out amazing!!! It was both of our first times getting a tattoo, and Clare made us feel comfortable. Her art was exactly what we wanted. We also love the chill vibe of the place and that they have cool female artists. We will come again and recommend!

Jenn Vigue

I got a beautiful tattoo done by April. They were so easy to work with and friendly. Its incredible what an amazing tattoo artist they are only after tattooing for a few years. The amount of small details and lines they were able pack into my tattoo makes it stand out. The other artists were friendly and welcoming as well. The studio is beauitful and clean. A super convenient location. I can't wait to go back and get another tattoo in the future.

Samantha Spaulding

I could not recommend a tattoo shop more than I do this one! I saw April about a month ago, and I had the most amazing experience! The shop was easy to find, it was clean, and everyone there was so friendly and kind. April was absolutely amazing, and so wonderful to work with! She took my idea and did went way beyond my expectations with the lovely piece she did for me and I absolutely love it! I will definitely be returning for my next piece!

Jonathan Salgado

Lucky Dagger is the best parlor in all of New Orleans. I have been tattooed by April multiple times and I always come away astounded by her work. Her style is so unique and I am honored to wear her art. She is always such a good hang when she is working as well. Funny, kind, and a wonderful conversationalist. I have yet to be tattooed by Jacqui but I absolutely love her style. Her unique take on traditional style is beautiful. The shop itself is such an eclectic style with a focus on female empowerment. I love all the art on their walls. It is also located in a very fun part of NOLA, surrounded by great restaurants and bars. I recently moved away from the area but I am going to make it a point to visit NOLA every year just to visit Lucky Dagger Tattoo.

Noah Ross

Received my first tattoo today with Clare who took great care of me and did a fantastic job. A shop full of talented, nice, passionate people, couldn’t recommend more.

Squirtcobain

2 of my favorite tattoos I got from here (April specifically). Her style and mastery of her style is certainly unique and very well done. Still to this day I just stare at my most recent one from her and get all giddy because how amazing it look. Besides the artist though the establishment itself is very clean, aesthetically pleasing, although it is a bit small it’s still a wonderful place. 10/10 would get tatted again

Olivia Theriot

My experience with Lucky Dagger and the tattooers there was absolutely amazing. Their artists are extremely versatile and easy-going, you’re sure to find someone just for your art preference. Not only that, I’ve never walked into a tattoo shop and felt so welcomed like Lucky Dagger. All the artists are extremely friendly and open to conversation. I got a custom dragon done by April Jay. With it being my second tattoo, I felt like April answered all of my questions and concerns- I truly felt like I was in the best care I could find. I recommend this place to just about anyone that’ll listen. Seriously, you’re in for a good time at lucky dagger

Kayla Ramirez at Gloss Salon

I got tattooed by Dani while on vacation last week. The shop was super clean, everyone was so cute and kind (seriously. You won’t regret hanging with any of them) and Dani was so fun to be tattooed by. The shop manager was so helpful when I was struggling to find parking. Everyone came by Dani’s station when they had free time to tell her how awesome she was doing. I definitely plan on being back!

Heaven Costanza

My first time here, I got tatted by April Jay. I gave her an idea and she brought it to LIFE. As soon as you walk in the shop, the atmosphere is just comfortable. April and the other girls are really cool and very easy to talk with and communicating ideas with April is a breeze! She made a two hour tattoo fly by, and she was so gentle I barely felt her tattooing me. Definitely recommend Lucky Dagger tattoo!!

Joseph Belcher

Getting a tattoo from April was definitely a highlight of my year. I always get nervous to meet new tattoo artists but April as well as the whole staff were super friendly and conversational. There was never a dull 5 minutes. Not to mention the really badass tattoo that I got. With the idea that I sent in, I really felt like April understood my idea. It came out just how I wanted it. The place is super clean, friendly, and skillful. What more could you ask for?

Jolie Marie

All the artists that work here their work is amazing. April has tattooed me twice and the detail she gives is immaculate! The shop is always so clean and it's just a nice environment. If I had the funds I'd honestly do all my tattooing there.

marley crawford

I got my first tattoo ever from Dani & I couldn’t have asked for a better artist! She was so easygoing and made me feel very comfortable. The shop is very clean and has a really cool interior design. So worth the drive from Pensacola!

Henna Silvennoinen

I loved my experience at Lucky Dagger Tattoo! Jacqui is THE BEST: so friendly, professional and interesting to chat to - not to mention talented! The place was super clean with a positive and chill vibe, and the decor was funky and cool. Can’t wait for my next tattoo at Lucky Dagger!

Julie Seversin

Dani at Lucky Dagger Tattoo is an amazing ink artist! She has inked three times for me now, three very different style tattoos, and I’m in love with each of them!! My latest was a floral - I asked for a vintage look - and she NAILED it! I recommend her highly for anyone’s ink needs!!

Dylan Reeves

I love this place. The vibe of the shop is super chill. Clare does awesome line work. I am thrilled about my new tattoo!

Tomi Taylor

i followed an amazing artist to lucky dagger and i have got to say the energy this place brings is amazing. Dani is a spectacular artist and she’s one of the only people i’ve felt comfortable with and most of my tattoos are from her! The energy of lucky dagger is spectacular and it feels like a second home. It’s full of amazing artists and i absolutely love the vibes of this shop and i’m glad to call it my favorite! The artists here are always surrounded in good energy and would recommend any of them in a heartbeat. You should definitely check this shop out for anything you need becayse they’ve got it all ❤️

Sarah McLennan

Dani is absolutely incredible. She has done almost all my tattoos and I love every single one. I trust her to take design ideas and make them her own. She always presents me with options and one time I just got all of them done because I couldn’t choose! She also asked my pronouns and makes great conversation. Lucky dagger is such a safe and welcoming place and I am constantly thinking about when I can go back.

paige wilson

I cannot say enough good things about this sho! Every time i have gone I've had an amazing experience. April is an amazing artist who always knocks it out of the park and I will continue to go back to her for my tattoos. Everyone there is extremely friendly and welcoming. I love this shop!

Erynn deLane

My experience at Lucky Dagger Tattoo was amazing, especially because I got my first tattoo here. My experience was so good that I came back for another, a few months later. I got tattooed by Jacqui and she was nothing but amazing. I felt so welcomed and comfortable, which made my tattoo experience even better. I recommend Lucky Dagger to everyone and I also get so many compliments on my tattoos :)

Megan Killey

I’ve gone to Lucky Dagger a few times now to get tattoos from Jacqui and she does an incredible job! I love her style and demeanor. The shop is clean and professional and is super fun and relaxing with their cool decor. Can’t wait to get another tattoo soon!

Megan Lovato

I came all the way from Los Angeles to get my tattoos by Jacqui. Everyone in the shop is so talented. The shop is clean and comfortable and nice n cool on a hot summer day. I had a great time at my appointment. I’m so happy with my tattoos. Highly recommend this shop!

Hayley Lewis

Very impressed with Jacqui and their crew. They took my friend and I each with custom tattoos on the same day. Jacqui helped my vision come to life for a largish rib piece, taking care to listen to what I wanted and then extra patience to get me through the tender spots. Already planning my next visit.

Cassi Flint

Go see Jacqui for your next tattoo! You'll be in good hands. She's a great artist and all around great human. I'm so happy with this lil crab she drew up for me.

Sara McWherter

Such a great experience here! My boyfriend and I were visiting the city and last minute we decided that we wanted to get some Voodoo tattoos while we were there. We found Lucky Dagger and got in very quickly with Dani. She talked with us both about what we wanted and was a joy to get tattooed by. She was professional, friendly, and did great work for both of us! We love our tattoos and would highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for some ink. Loved the vibe and all the artists we met. Thanks, Dani!

Jacqui nailed the tattoo I had in mind. She responded quickly with emails and allowed for questions. Her estimated time frame she guessed it would take was spot on. Very clean and friendly shop. I’ll be back.

Christian Shepard

Really great shop with great atmosphere. My tattoo artist, Clare, was super helpful and easy to talk to. The whole process was super quick, and the process was very sanitary and clean. I definitely recommend Lucky Dagger.

zoë

The incredibly talented Angel did my tattoo, it took about 2 and a half hours. Everything was clean, and everyone was cool and friendly. I’m more than happy with the beautiful artwork she created for me!!! Clear written out after care instructions, 5/5 stars

Ashley Boesch

I love each time i visit. The artist Dani is so professional and amazing at everything she does. I have multiple tattoos done by her and all are my favorite. The whole staff is so professional and welcoming.🖤 …

Lauren Shavor

I wanted to get a very important piece as my first tattoo and this place was the perfect environment for it! My tattoo artist, Dani, was so kind and walked me through the entire process. I will definitely be returning in the future for more works of art!

Tony Beauregard

My family has gotten a total of 5 tattoos at Lucky Dagger. We've really enjoyed the experience of each and every one. The artists are friendly and really work with you to make sure you get what you want. I'll be back for more!

Emma Foster

I had a great experience at Lucky Dagger! I felt very welcome on arrival and Dani did a great job with my tattoo. Will definitely be visiting again!

Kelsey Brinkerhoff

Had a great experience. Picked one of Jacqui’s flash tattoos as a New Orleans souvenir. She was extremely professional and did a great job. Almost a year later and my tattoo still looks brand new. Would for sure get another by her again.

Tyler Necaise

Jacqui was amazing and gave me the best tattoo experience I’ve had yet. Even everyone else in the shop was very friendly and welcoming. Super super happy with my tattoo and will definitely be back!

Alex Babineaux

I had the best possible experience with April. She communicated with me throughout the drafting process, made all requested edits timely, and wildly exceeded my expectations with the finished product. Another member of staff even bought me dinner since the session was so long. Such a great day and overall great experience.

Greta

I got my very first tattoo here, and it was a great experience! All the artists have fantastic work (I creeped on ig hard before I chose mine), and I can't wait to go back for my second. Very chill and comfortable. Highly recommend.

Rachel Jewell

I can’t say enough good things about this place. The atmosphere is cool and everyone is SO nice. I came all the way from Michigan because I HAD to have a tattoo from April. Her art style and work is amazing and I am so happy! I will definitely be making the trip back down to get another from her.

Randy Tallo

I just recently got a tattoo from Dani Oddo at Lucky Dagger & I’m thrilled with it. She was also able to touch up an old tattoo as an add on & it looks great. The place was super clean and the vibe is very low key. Dani was very professional & personable, I recommend this place to everyone & I’m certainly going back. Cheers!

Mackenzie Bell

Went to their Friday the 13th event and so happy with my piece. The four hour wait was worth it. So happy to see them have so much business, they deserve it.

Skyler Merrill

Jacqui drew up exactly what I had in mind and has a super steady hand, can't recommend highly enough for traditional stuff. Not to mention the great all around vibes in the place. The other artist's work seems dope too, can't wait to check them out.

Shawn Lynch

My first tattoo and I couldnt have asked for a better experience. Called them last minute with an idea and they made it work and came out fantastic. Forever grateful will definitely come back again.

Madelyn Matute'

LOVED my experience with Angelique! She reached out to make sure my tattoo was exactly what I wanted. And it’s looks great, I love it!! I’m already planning to return. Also, I love the all female vibe. A lot of places feel intimidating and like I don’t belong by the overwhelming male presence. I have recommended this place on that fact alone!

Josie Reason

I had my very first tattoo done by April, I absolutely love my tattoo, I show it off every chance I get. April was amazing and I enjoyed talking to her the whole time. I had full faith in her ability because her art work is absolutely amazing! Definitely getting her to do all of my future tattoos!!

Katie Whittington

I drove from out of town to see April and absolutely love the tattoo I got from her, definitely my favorite. I plan on going back to see her soon! Her and the other artist in the shop were super nice and made me feel very comfortable.

Trissy Magrath

I had Dani when I came in for my tattoo today. She was amazing and very sweet. I'll be back for sure

James Buchanan

I definitely recommend Lucky Dagger. The shop was a chill environment with a lot of great artwork. I felt welcome and felt confident in the artists there. Clare did my tattoo, and I am extremely happy with it. Highly recommend!

Carlo John

Clare was very helpful and gave me all the information I needed for my very first tattoo. I had a hidden leaf village tattoo from Naruto and the end results were amazing and I’m so happy on the end product.

Rosey Garrow

Got tattoos from both Jacqui and April and i got so many compliments! I literally love them. The ladies of lucky dagger are so good at making me feel so comfortable. Super clean and the conversation and the artwork is unlike any other.

Colleen Hirst

I received a custom tattoo from Jacqui (Lucky Dagger’s owner) last year. Jacqui was awesome to work with! Shop is clean and comfortable. I’m very happy with my tattoo and will definitely be back for more. Would definitely recommend Lucky Dagger!

Alyson Hetzel

I had the pleasure of being tattooed by April for my 2nd and 3rd tattoo. I loved the environment of the shop, everyone followed covid and mask guidelines in the shop and was very helpful. it was my first time being tattooed alone (without a friend) but April was incredibly friendly and made the experience super fun and relaxing, time flew by so quickly! I loved the final product, and I can’t wait to be back in the future!

Izzie Blue

My friends and I came down here for Friday the 13th and we managed to get in and out of the shop pretty quickly + they were also being really safe considering the pandemic by only letting in a few people at a time which was great to see. I came here a little bit later to get some work done on my by April Jay and it was a great session with good vibes and nice convo! Definitely going to be coming here again!

Christina Arredondo

Very friendly and accommodating staff. Came in a group of three, only one of us had an appointment, the other two decided we'd like to get something and they were able to get us in and tattooed before the person with the appointment was finished. We all loved our pieces.

Jesse Venable

Me and my bff went to Lucky Dagger yesterday to celebrate the 13th with some tattoo debauchery! We got in line at about 3:30 PM and were able to get tatted just after 7:30 PM. Helluva wait but we met so many folks in line and had a wonderful time interacting with the staff when we got in. Jacqui did a wicked fast job putting on the grumpiest lil rabbit that April designed, and all around the shop energy was super nice! I hope I get the chance to come back soon, and thank you for the new ink!

Ivah Alexander

Called looking for a place to get a quick tattoo for my brother and I and they took us. Really cool place, awesome decor and super clean. Got us back quick and we’re able to get us both done at the same time. 10/10 overall!

Kayln Hepting

First of all, I felt very safe, amid these covid times, and i absolutely loved the interior, as well as my tattoo artist, Dani. I would 100% recommend Lucky Dagger to anyone who is looking to get a tattoo. My tattoo artist was very personable and friendly,, and she made sure i was comfortable every step of the process. When i decide to get another tattoo, I will be going back to Lucky Dagger <3 thank you!!

Caleb Humphrey

Fantastic shop! Last year I found this wonderful place and got a tattoo two weeks in a row. If I lived in NOLA there is no telling how many I would have by now. Some of the most unique flash! Go support this fantastic all woman owned and operated shop!

Joshua the Bock

i had no idea this shop existed until i saw some of the artwork walking around new orleans.. incredibly sharp, unique, striking pieces are exactly what’s to be found in this hidden gem of the big easy. easily one of the chillest yet warmest tattoo shops in the city. everyone is hot. and kind. (which is also hot) and every artist is talented, knowledgeable, and helpful. walk-ins are welcome and appointments are awesome. had such a pleasure getting tattooed and getting to know the owner of this remarkable shop so close to my house lol. look forward to going back.

Dustin Blancher

I’ve gotten four tattoos by April and she always does an amazing job! Very friendly, works with you in what you want and easy to talk to. Other staff members are great as well and very friendly

Miuna Mae (MowMowMow)

April is one of, if not the most talented, professional and fun artists in the new orleans area. Though she’s far too modest to accept a compliment like that, her work is clean, well thought out and beautifully done. I could not recommend her more, she’s a joy to talk to and is very open to suggestions and taking the clients wishes into consideration. she’s easy to work with and has an incredibly varied portfolio. Pricing is reasonable, she works fast, and the pieces heal great.

Marlana

had a great experience with dani! my tattoo turned out great. everyone was professional and the shop was both gorgeous and clean. felt great to see artists actively cleaning their station. nice work y’all

Grace Smith

I’ve gotten almost all of my tattoos with Dani at Lucky Dagger, and I would highly highly recommend checking out this place and all of their artists. It’s a woman-owned shop (which is SO kickass) and the atmosphere is inclusive and welcoming and all around a great place to get some ink! Dani’s tattoos are the best that I have and I will definitely keep going back!!

Joe Lahhry

Everyone is so friendly and accommodating! Keith gave us beautiful tattoos. So hygienic with a light hand. Can't wait to be in town again to get more tattoos from Lucky Dagger!

Lex A

I got my first tattoo ever here by April! I had attempted to stick and poke a tattoo by myself and absolutely messed up my leg. She covered/fixed it for me perfectly! She was so kind and easy to talk to I had a very enjoyable experience here!

Martha Manzanares

I had the great fortune of being tattooed by April! The location is funky and friendly. April was very professional and absolutely enjoyable. I interacted with other artists and they were also very friendly. I always recommend Lucky Dagger to my friends.

Meredith Paisant

I followed an artist to this shop but i have to say I love it! It’s so cute and all of the artists are so sweet. Everyone is so professional but still super supportive and laid back. My artist Angel is so creative she took my idea and ran with it creating a beautiful piece. I fully recommend this shop and Angel I will always get new work from here!

Nathan Singleton

I’ve only gotten a few tattoos in my life and going here was definitely the best experience I have had with tattoos. Each artist was super nice and friendly! I worked with April and she was awesome!

Jordan Oliver

Nice, clean shop with talented tattoo artists. A lot of women artists, a positive vibe, off the mess of Bourbon St. They were able to squeeze in a same day session when we called looking for a last minute couples tattoo :) Tattoo is only a week old but healing really nicely and not scabbing or dropping out color. Would return.

Riley Fedewa

Had a great experience. Awesome shop. Cool artists. Jacqui was my tattoo artist and of course, killed it. Found the shop through word of mouth and on Instagram and will definitely be back.

Austin Benton

Awesome experience. Everyone is super friendly and professional. Super cool location and shop felt comfortable and safe. Coyle was awesome to work with from start to finish. All work stations were clean and sterile. 10/10 for these absolute gems.

A. Millz

The shop took us in last minute. We sent the pictures of what we wanted and by the time we had arrived Keith had us half way sketched out. And he incorporated what we wanted with his own personal flair!!! The turn out was perfect!!! Great clean shop all the people seemed top notch artist!!! Very friendly!!! Prices are very reasonable and probably the best in town!!! Kieth was fast professional and very talented!!!! Can’t wait to return!!!! I don’t think you could go wrong here!!!! :)

Joel Todero

Had an incredibly great experience getting tattoos from @apriljaytattoo here, great environment and very friendly service. I'd recommend this place to anyone locally or visiting. Will be coming again!

MC Davis

I have a few tattoos from April, but my newest studio ghibli panel takes the cake. She listened to what I wanted and made me super super comfortable throughout the entire process. I literally can’t say enough good things about Lucky Dagger and April

Mikayla Absher

I had such an amazing experience at this shop! By far the best place I've gotten a tattoo done. I was tattooed by Dani and she was amazing and the tattoo is so beautiful! Definitely going back for future work.

Zee Delacruz

I’ve seen Jacqui twice & both times she was awesome!! The place is super cool & relaxing & they have stuff up everywhere that gives off really good vibes. I’m actually terrified of needles but this place is very welcoming. & jacqui is definitely my go to!

Jason DiBabbo

I recently got a tattoo done here by April Jay. April is a fantastic artist and I highly recommend looking her up on Twitter or Instagram and reaching out if you're looking to get work done. All of the artists in the shop were very friendly and atmosphere was inviting. I cannot recommend this shop enough.

Lizzie Oatley

Really enjoyed getting tattooed here! The environment is really comfortable, clean, cute and comfortable! Jacqui did a great job on my tattoo, it was exactly what I wanted. I would definitely recommend checking it out if you’re looking for a new tattoo.

tabitha marie

I was able to get an appointment very quickly with a design I loved for very cheap. The artist, Keith, was very professional and did an amazing job on my tattoo. I will definitely be coming back for any future tattoos!

noemi florian

I got my second tattoo ever by Dani. I had been waiting a while to get my second tattoo because i wanted it to be perfect, after a friend posted this tattoo shop I found Dani and sent her a Photo of a kukulkan (a mayan feathered serpent) this particular drawing was very specific and the only one I could find online close to how I wanted it. But I sent her the Photo asked for red ink and other specifics. Thats all she needed to come up with the perfect sketch. The day came I sat there maybe not even 3 hours it was a 15 inch long back tattoo, she was patient with me through all my wining lol but it was all worth it and I have zero regrets in so glad I chose her for such a big and important tattoo for me as she was clean, very informative told me everything I needed to know for after care, got some good laughs and some awesome stickers. I wish I knew how to attach pics to reviews but her ig: tattoosbydani504 or @luckydaggertattoo has that and many more. Can't wait to come back and get more!

waltzman 123

I am extremely happy with my tattoo. Spent a little over an hour getting it and the experience was perfect and clean and professional. I highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for a tattoo in NOLA

Lauren Andrews

I got a JoJo tattoo from April and she did an amazing job! I absolutely adore her and her work, I look at it every day and i'm still in awe. Definitely planning on getting more from her! If you're in New Orleans and looking for a great anime tattoo artist she is it! I cannot recommend her enough.

Barabbas Rowland II

I had great time at this shop, i was able to make an appointment via email, and was able to do all the small talk and pricing without coming in. Which was super helpful with my busy schedule. One of my favorite presents I got myself this year, and will be coming back when I can get more time off.

Michael Vaughan

It’s a no brainer for the five star review, as they have an incredibly welcoming atmosphere and produce such high quality work, from some of the most talented artists in the business. Two out of (who knows when I’ll stop?!) of my tattoos are from here. I can’t support this shop enough.

Olivia Armanini

Jacqui is such a talented and efficient artist! She’s easy to talk to and extremely great at what she does. I’ve gotten two beautiful tattoos from her and plan to get many more. The space is clean, inviting, and laid back. If you’re in Nola, come here!

You Like?

There was a specific tattoo that I had wanted to get for years & I decided sort of spur of the moment to get it on my birthday. Coyle worked me into his schedule & even did the quote in his own handwriting. (Which is beautiful.) It’s perfect. Exactly what I wanted. I Love it.

Joslyn Massey

Came here for a Friday Yhe 13th flash, and im so in love with my lil snek. Very cool shop, great staff! April Jay was so nice, provided a great distraction from the needle, detailed aftercare, and is an INCREDIBLE ARTIST!! Definitely wanna get one of their originals next time i come in 💕 …

Hope Roberts

Amazing experience, ten stars out of five. Dani did an AMAZING job on my tattoo, and I have never felt so welcomed and safe in a tattoo shop before. Everyone there is so so so sweet - will absolutely be back many more times.

Eli Coppernoll

I’ve gotten two tattoos from April and I really like them! She’s very light-handed and everything healed super quickly. Everyone is very friendly and the building is cute & clean.

Emily Craft

Got a tattoo I’ve been waiting to get for years done here this past Saturday. Clean shop, great artists who are also extremely friendly. Jacqui was recommended to me by a friend and exceeded my expectations!

Daniece tate

Dusty was very considerate and patient with us and helped us to achieve the best possible tattoo ever. This was my cousin’s first tattoo and Dusty was really was very gentle and complex in his work. I highly recommend this establishment.

Janessa G

The atmosphere was very comforting and the artists were very friendly. Tattoosbydani504 was an amazing artist. She was very friendly and brought my envisioned piece to life.

Hanna Warnock

Jacqui and all the artists at Lucky Dagger Tattoo are incredibly skilled and all around awesome human beings. I couldn't recommend them enough! Whatever your vision for your tattoo they can certainly accommodate, if not, exceed your expectations.

Sunnie H

adore this shop each artist is talented in their own unique styles. if you're looking for anime tattoos april is amazing and has been tattooing me for well over a year! overall amazing atmosphere and company

Lindsay Allday

I got the most amazing line work from Keith. He is a lovely soul and completely slayed the concept and design. The shop is super rad and there are several fantastic artists with a wide range of styles.

Austin Roppolo

MAAAAAAN! If y’all don’t get the hell over to this shop already what are you waiting for? I’ve done got 20+ tattoos from this shop and they ain’t miss yet. Clean professional and overall rad gals! They do a little bit of everything! You want anime? APRIL you want traditional? JACQUI you want realism and New Orleans tattoos? ANGEL and many more homies there.

Jose Cervantes

They are mad talented and work is professionally outstanding!! I would highly recommend to anyone living OR coming from outside the area!! If you’ve seen their work on IG or any other social media platforms, WELL pictures don’t do justice! Hopefully each an every single person reading this gives Lucky Dagger Tattoo a shot!

Scott Chavez

Dani Oddo is absolutely amazing!!! I just took a trip to NOLA from Washington State and made sure to prioritize an ink session with Dani. I couldn't have been happier with the experience. Dani is hands down the coolest person and the whole thing was a highlight of my trip. Highly recommend!!!!

Anna Heim

Did a quick hour session with Jacqui and couldn’t have been more pleased. Rad, comfortable space, that felt wildly safe, even during a pandemic. Can’t wait to sit there again. Booking was simple, session was timely, and art was original and beautiful.

Annalaura Beegle

Angelique Sanders will give you a wonderful experience. All her work is 100% original and she communicates so well. Her professionalism is comforting and the atmosphere is relaxed. I'm very happy with this piece and will be back again!!

Nikki Austin

Jaqui and April have become my favorite people to visit! Their shop is SO welcoming and well put together. They’re so sweet and SO talented. If you’re looking for artists who not only are talented, but also really care about what they are doing.

Kris D'Arcangelo

got a tattoo by @wildroottattoo and they were amazing! I got exactly what I wanted and it came out perfect. artist was very professional and is very talented! highly recommend!

Kaitlyn Miller

I can’t say enough good things about this place! Jacqui is an incredibly talented artist and overall a great person to have stab you with needles for a few hours. Comfy, clean atmosphere and friendly people. Can’t wait to go back!

Carly Cenzer

Love my tattoo, the work that I imagined became a reality. The shop was super cool and cute. The girl who did our art was chill. Would recommend looking at their work on Instagram or Facebook and booking an artist.

Ryan Belsher

I’ll start by saying this is a really nice shop with some very talented artists. Very clean and plenty of Covid precautions in place. I contacted Angelique about doing a pretty bizarre tribute piece for my pig, Cannoli, who had recently passed. I never could have imagined it turning out as good as it did! I honestly couldn’t recommend her more! Can’t wait to go back! (Sorry about the photos, it’s in an awkward spot to take lol)

Angie Zeiderman

Jacqui Rose, boss lady, is my go-to artist in New Orleans. I have three pieces from her, all original, one quite large, and one cover up. She diligently has worked to make a design I was happy with, has a gentle hand, and everything healed beautifully. Also, very reasonably priced

Mary Andries

This was my favorite tattoo experience so far! Dani is incredible and I bought art from one of the other artists while I was there. I tell everybody to go to Lucky Dagger now!

Houston Blackwood

Scheduled a tattoo session for our vacation. Jacqui was professional and quick! The staff was very friendly and the shop was orderly, clean, and welcoming!

Kenny Benjamin

Honored to say I was one of Lucky Daggers first customers since their reopening (: Jacqui was extremely professional...the entire vibe during our session was so laid back and chill. Not to mention, I absolutely love my new tattoos! Especially the spider!! Thank you so much Jacqui, can’t wait to visit again ✌🏾 …

Devlan Melancon

April did a great job on my tattoo! The shop is clean and comfortable too. Looking forward to my next piece!

Naomi

I got tattooed by April for my second tattoo and it was the greatest experience ever. She was very kind and welcoming and I cannot wait to get more done by her in the future.

Taylor Kirk

Needing to find a new artist after moving here left me with a Herculean task. Who could I trust to tattoo me? I spent hours searching for a tattoo shop that was not only reputable but also had quality artists who truly cared for their craft. If you are reading this review you know that I found that here. Jacqui and I talked extensively beforehand for my piece and she made me feel as though we had always known each other. She took the time to carefully plan out my piece, even matching it to my previous work done by another artist. Going to the shop was incredibly easy, though do arrive early as parking in New Orleans can be trouble! Her shop was incredibly beautiful. Lovely artwork and flash art adorned the walls and incense filled the air making me feel like I was truly at home. I loved having a shop that I could now go to that didn’t look like a medical office, or one of the tourist tattoo destinations. While getting my piece, Jacqui worked quickly but efficiently and made me feel comfortable all the while. I am incredibly grateful to have found this shop and am looking forward to my next visit. I can’t recommend Lucky Dagger enough.

Thomas Cottrill

I met with Keith for a consulate on a sleeve. By far one of the nicest humans on the planet. His work is top of the line. He seems to be an extremely patient, knowledgeable, and kind guy. Ask for Keith!! He’ll make you feel welcome and understood!

Kirstie Flite

I went here for the first time in August for the Friday the 13th special and this shop was awesome!! The way they handled the special was great. I’ve been to other shops for these events and it’s not nearly as organized. I was tattooed by Dani who was super sweet, personable and friendly. I love how it came out! Since I was the last person in line & she designed this one, she put a little bit of extra work into making it look nice which I appreciated! Hope to get more work done here.

Jessica White

I'm in love with my tattoo! April was amazing and super friendly (also a hard core anime lover, so even better). Would definitely come back for another tattoo!

Glen Alcantara

I was in New Orleans for 2 days and had some time to kill before my evening flight. Lucky Dagger was able to schedule me for an appointment and provide a wonderful overall experience. My artist Claire has an incredibly steady hand and works quickly but never seemed rushed. She's also a lot of fun. She advised me on how to best handle the details of my piece and I am incredibly happy with how it turned out. All I can say is I wish she were my local artist in NJ.

Caitlin Hotard

Such an amazing experience! I had Keith. I was a walk in and he was super helpful with working me in. He was so personable and friendly. It was such an enjoyable experience, and his line work is phenomenal. 10/10 would come back!

Annabel Copping

I was a big fan of April on Instagram and decided to get my first piece by her in January. I couldn’t be more happy with it! April is so talented and nice! Can’t wait until get another piece by her!

Bailey Raffensperger

This last Friday i went and got a tattoo from April and was very pleased with the whole experience and will definitely be getting more from her! :) i love my lil ice cream eating froggy so much!

Michael Feder

Toni and Clare were great, very nice and professional. Clare’s artistry is beyond fantastic. Also liked the shop space. Would highly recommend this place to everyone!

Erin Glendening

April was unbelievably professional, and she also has a great personality. Her artwork went beyond my expectations. I’m so excited to get more work from her in the future.

Wurkhill

This place is full of so much talent, my main artist April works here and I drive an hour to come here. I've gotten 3 pieces done by her so far and each one better than the last. Also the environment is very chill and relaxing.

owen weber

Super clean and professional spot. I always recommend Lucky Dagger to friends wanting tattoos in New Orleans. Every artist that works here is incredibly talented!

Hannah Thomas

Dani was amazing. She was quick and made this beautiful lotus tattoo on my thigh. Everyone is kind and a hoot to talk with 😁 …

Nicole Lash

This shop is great. Everyone is super nice and they all give out sick tattoos! Especially Dani

Alex N

It was a hot summer day, sat down for a long 5 hour session; with nothing in our stomachs and nothing to drink, April killed it. Metal af, would collapse on dead legs again after jumping off the table. Great times To be had, tears were shed and curses were spewed. Would gladly go back again someday. Peep the Instagram page for a great variety of talent and dexterity in artists. - Du. Ma.

Georgia Ryle

this place ROCKS! ive been tattooed by both Claire and Jacqui and they were both so sweet and lovely (& did a beautiful job)

Nobody Special

Have two tattoos from April so far, and they are absolutely amazing. She is a great person and treats her customers extremely well

Kade Drum

I’ve been eyeing the shop’s posts on IG and wanting to get in for a little bit. Dani was such a gem, making the appointment and deposit was such an easy process. When I arrived the shop/space was clean and super welcoming. Dani was patient while I picked a flash piece and helped me pick a placement that would last & give me the look I was going for! She was professional and so friendly and held just the right amount of conversation. It was my first tattoo in 2 years & her patience extended towards my squirminess at the tail end. I cannot wait to book my next appointment and get more art on my body from these artists!!

Courtney Johnson

this place is amazing!!! april and keith are literal angels and so kind! :) an amazing experience that i will share with everyone i know forever. please visit this place it has amazing vibes and they’re great artists!

StorFax Can’t Aim

April is literally the coolest tattoo artist I’ve ever had, never had a problem with her and she always does the best work! My only complaint is that I can’t get an appointment every week or else I’d be really poor :(

I visited the shop with my boyfriend who got his first tattoo with April (@apriljaytattoo). She was so welcoming, accommodating and more than willing to answer all of his questions and concerns as well as talking him through every step of the way. She was absolutely amazing and so unbelievably talented! 10/10 recommend totally worth every penny!
