EXCITING UPDATES AT LUCKY GAL SOUTHSIDE!

We're getting a BRAND-NEW PARKING LOT!

We're excited to give our Southside location a little facelift! While construction is underway, there will be some temporary changes to where you park and how you enter the building.

PLEASE CHECK OUT THE MAP BELOW for designated parking areas and the best way to access our shop during construction. You can park in any of the blue highlighted parking area on the map and just take the sidewalk around to the front door.

WE ARE OPEN FOR BUSINESS! Tattoos, piercings, and all the things you love about Lucky Gal are still happening!

We appreciate your patience while we make these improvements – no more potholes!! A little temporary inconvenience for a much-needed upgrade!!

Thank you for continuing to support Lucky Gal Southside. We can't wait to show off our new parking lot!!

Same Lucky Gal. Same amazing artists. Just a better place to park your ride!!

MONSTER MONTH WITH JIMMY ST. JOHN!!

If you’ve been waiting for the perfect time to get something a little dark, creepy, classic or downright MONSTROUS… October is it.

Meet Jimmy St. John, one of the incredibly talented artists location at the Southside Lucky Gal shop. Jimmy has been tattooing for over 27 YEARS and brings a level of experience and versatility that’s hard to beat.

He can tattoo just about EVERY style there is.

His personal favorite is black & grey.

He’s tattooed ALL over the world, including Japan and Europe.

AND when it comes to monsters, horror and highly detailed artwork… Jimmy absolutely kills it.

We’re sharing some monster-themed pieces that Jimmy would LOVE to tattoo this October — and these are going to make some seriously badass tattoos.

See one you love? Or have a monster idea of your own?

Book with Jimmy at: https://web.getporter.io/artist/jimmystjohn

Jimmy is located at our Southside location and also takes walk-ins as time allows.
