hey you all
this is the owner of lucky 13 tattoo, this isn`t the first time i found comments online about my shop, most of the comments posted on line like this come from other shops, they are jealous of our shop and our clientel ,the wish they were half as good as us, they are usually shops starting out,or disgruntled tattoo artist that we fired for drug use,tattoos are for life and we believe that the artist has to be at their best to give their best,as for our shop we have been in harford county for close to 3 yrs now ,people that know us,know that we are hard working people just trying to make our way in life, any one that know us know that we take pride in our shop and keep it clean , and all needles and equipment are sterile prepackaged opened just before every tattoo and disposed of immediately after the tattoo is done,we have the largest shop in harford county, we take pride in the military they call us mom and dad on base, the military love to come to our shop just to chill, shoot pool or hang out and watch the artist, our shop is meant to be fun for all

The problrm with tatoo shops is you really dont know who you are dealing with. Her in NC there are no real regulations, I can hang a sign outside saying I am a tatoo artist, its that simple. I recently found out the guy who did my tatoo has Hepatitis C. At six months the test show I am clean, will take the test again at 12 months. Tatoo shops should have real regulations, carry liabilty insurance, etc.

You cant die after being diagnosed with hepatitis c..hilariously dumb ..Im a healthy 19 year old and first diagnosed when i was 12 and also tattoo artists can still tattoo if they have hepatitis C you just got to get a written form from your state..

I guess I would blame other people and shops too if I had someone claiming hep came out of that shop. Don't blame other people for your lack of caring. Do your job and try not to give out anymore. There are plenty of other places to pick from.

All the more reason to get your tats done at immoral.

But, the thing I don't understand is that if she didn't see them open a fresh needle, why did she get it? Everytime I have gotten a tatto or piercing I have seen them open the needle and clamp and jewelry.

this shop isnt very clean and the owner will cut any corner he can to save a buck. In all honesty he is jus a big dumb hillbilly and have you ever seen the sores on his arms where hes been tattooed have you ever been close enough to smell him the man doesn't have very good hygiene whixh right there is enough to stay away .... i definitely would never get tattooed there i know a few people that have and a few of them have gotten infections idk about hep but even still i would deff stay the hell away from there its jus a hang out for the young military to go to and get drunk and party sorry to piss on anyones parade just speaking the truth..... just make sure you scope out a few places and watch sum artist when they set up and do the tattoo and pay attention to the cleanup afterwards the owner of lucky 13 bitched sum artists out for using madicide after every tattoo he said thats to expensive to be going through it that quick
