LUCKY US? LUCKY YOU!

Les Salon Des Chanceux

September 1-24
Opening Reception: September 8, 5-8pm (part of Art’s Night Out) 



Presented by the many artists of Lucky’s Tattoo and Piercing 

As a body art based studio, Lucky's loves to think about the rich creative lives that folks lead outside of their day jobs, whether those jobs are obviously artistic or not. The teachers who go home after school and create needlepoint masterpieces, the cooks who take pottery classes on the side so they can learn to craft plates that their culinary creations can feel at home on, and all of the other folks who have secret passions that are not readily apparent when you see them in the context of their day to day professional settings.

At Lucky’s almost everyone has a visual or musical artistic pursuit outside of the work they do in our studios. We are excited to showcase the way they express themselves outside of the realm of body art. The creative and passionate people who make up our team inspire each other every day to explore different approaches to their practices, in body art and beyond.

Lucky’s Tattoo and Piercing has been a mainstay in downtown Northampton since 1998. We operate today in three locations across Massachusetts—our original studio on Main Street in Northampton, our second location in Central Square in Cambridge, and our tattoo-only studio in Easthampton. As a business and as a trio of queer-owned and operated studios, we exist on the foundation that to serve a community we must be part of it.
