Doc was kind, patient, thorough, and gentle. He has a great bedside manner. I got small UV reactive and white ink tattoos in my ear. He had his apprentice there to learn and assist. So he took everything step by step and made sure everything was perfect (the circle is actually circular, just my ear curves on the picture make it look not so). It was the best tattoo experience I’ve had so far! I highly recommend. Plus the tiny shop has a great vibe inside.

Doc is always so sweet and accommodating to your needs. He makes you feel extremely comfortable and like you’ve known him for years not to mention how I love every tattoo I’ve got from him. I highly recommend his shop to anyone looking to get a tattoo! Thank you again!!

Had the best experience I’ve ever had getting a tattoo! He worked quick and was super personable. I went in for one design, and ended up getting two! He was stoked to do both and finished in 2 hours. As someone who always walks in for tattoos, I could not have been more pleased and will be scheduling with him in the future!

I have gone to Chris 3 week in a row after meeting him. In all my years and travels getting tattooed, this man right here is one of the most professional, sweetest, fun, encouraging people in the industry.On top of that, he is one of the quickest and most proficient artists I’ve ever been lucky enough to get work done by. He works quickly, isn’t heavy handed, and his work heals so great.The shop is one of my favorite little places to get work done at! Such a private, quiet little place to have a very intimate session. I love the vibe of the place.Definitely give Chris a chance to do some work on you, I promise you won’t regret the work or the person you get to meet doing it!

I made an appointment after seeing the ad for his flash on Instagram. I love his studio! It's clean, nice and quiet. Doc was amazing! Great energy and he was very nice and patient. I'm a baby when it comes to pain and he made it quick and relatively painless.

Great work! Fast too! Great experience as it was my first ever tattoo and I am grateful to have found him as he is a great artist and very welcoming and knowledgeable in his craft. Will definitely return for more work!

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He was friendly and knowledgable and helped my fiance and her sister, who were getting their first tattoos, calm. I can’t imagine getting work done elsewhere after this! I’ll include pictures of what I recieved and the inspiration pics (the purple is from the stencil, not a smudge from the ink by the way).

Doc’s energy was amazing. I really enjoyed our conversations and most importantly the beautiful work they did on me. Doc went above and beyond on my tattoo, and even made it cooler with mushrooms and little realism pearls. I’m absolutely obsessed with my tattoo. :)

My mom and I got matching memorial tattoos. Considering it was my mom’s first tattoo, Doc did an amazing job walking her through the process, and taking the time to make sure the placement and design were what she wanted.The shop is clean and the talk is great. You don’t feel unwelcome or rushed. He’s as gentle as you can be with tattooing.I don’t know if I can get my mom to get another tattoo, but I know I’ll be back for more!!He also has an apprentice, Kitty, who is super talented and friendly!

Doc and Kitty are such great humans! We came in for matching tats on a girls weekend. We had been going back and forth on Instagram about what we really wanted. doc didn’t even hesitate when we changed our minds. When we arrived he had stenciled multiple sizes for us and it was EXACTLY what we imagined. Granted it was just a thin line tattoo, he was 100% down to do it for us! Such a GREAT experience and we will be back for more tattoos! (And bigger ones 😂)

🦋 Went to Lucky Dog Tattoo for a butterfly I saw on Doc's flash and got some pretty traditional style flowers as well. The shop has that lovely surgical clean smell of a good quality tattoo studio. The placement was perfect and the colors came out so gorgeous and vibrant!! I love getting a tattoo and it turning out better than the painting. This was definitely the case here. He also blended the new tattoos into my existing pieces so beautifully. 💖 Both Doc and his apprentice Kitty were so nice and great to talk to. I'm 100, million percent coming back here. Amazing work!

I recently got a cover up done with him and the process was so easy. The cover up looks amazing and I'm in love with my tattoo. The blacklight reactive ink is so awesome. He was pretty fast and very reasonably priced. I will be back!

Got two fairly simple tattoos.The experience was great from the beginning to the end.Chris finished my tattoos a lot quicker than I had anticipated— but that’s not to say his work was/is rushed. He’s very meticulous and efficient and also super accommodating.I’d totally recommend Lucky Dog Tattoo to anyone who’s ready to get a tattoo.Go make an appointment now!

Carver is a talented tattoo artist with a fresh, eccentric style! I wanted to get my first tattoo for my 30th birthday present to myself, and they were incredibly receptive to my vision. I wanted a life and death tribute to my favorite musician, David Bowie. They really went the extra mile to check all my boxes while staying true to that classic Carver style and I couldn’t be more in love. It even glows under a UV light! Carver was incredibly informative, patient, and the ultimate laid back hype squad for my first time. I will definitely return to Lucky Dog in the future and HIGHLY encourage anyone to go here that wants a badass piece of permanent art on their body by a cool, kind and talented artist in a clean, safe space!Services: Color ink tattoos, Solid black work tattoos, Tattoo design, Tattoos, Delicate dot work tattoos, Pointillism tattoos

Exceptional experience here! Not only did my fiancé get an AMAZING tattoo but the cleanliness, environment, professionalism, and conversation made it even better. We are always worried about people’s ability to tattoo darker skin tones but it came out great. We will definitely be back for more sooner than later! If you’re looking for a tattoo and don’t want to be in a crowded shop this is the place to go. I promise you will enjoy your experience here.Services: Color ink tattoos, Tattoos
