                                Happy Rabbitversary!

                                  In June of 2002 Dan Stewart, the warm and jovial owner of Lucky Rabbit, switched on the open sign to his brand new tattoo studio, and with a sigh thought, “well, here goes nothing!” In 2019 he is able to switch on the open sign to the same studio, this time, without the sigh. On June 22, 2019  Lucky Rabbit ...

                                      Chelsea Butler Donation Event

                                        Though I never had the privilege of meeting her, it is easy to get a sense of what kind of beautiful person Chelsea Marie Butler was. The eyes of her friends and family brighten, and their smiles widen as they speak of her fondly. Described as “awesome,” “wonderful,” “determined,” and “lovely,” it’s clear that Chelsea was beloved by many. A ...

                                        Family Matters

                                          This blog post is a customer showcase. Pat Nading, was born in 1939. She has been inspiring and a joy to work with. Her wonderful family bring their laughter, fun and sometimes tears to my corner office of the tattoo shop. I’ll let Pat tell her tattoo story…   Ten years ago, my then 12 year old, middle granddaughter, asked ...

                                          Meet Atom and Chrissy!

                                            If you’ve seen new happy faces at Lucky Rabbit and don’t know who they are, let me introduce to you Atom and Chrissy Godwin. Atom and Chrissy are a husband and wife team. Who came to us last year.  He has been a lot of fun to work with and Chrissy’s humor sometimes resembles that of Melissa McCarthy.  Adam’s passion for creating ...

                                            Lucky Rabbit new and improved!!

                                              The digital sign is turned off, and there are rent signs on McGalliard Road waving goodbye to the half of the building we no longer occupy. We all have to make hard decisions sometime about what is really important in life.  Downsizing was the result of one of those hard decisions. We liked the size of the larger studio, but ...

                                                Large scale tattoos

                                                  Choosing the right artist for your tattoo is important! Have you ever had a ton of cash come back and thought “Finally, I can afford this big tattoo idea I’ve had forever.”? Getting the right artist for your tattoo is even more important during this time! Tattoo artists would love it if a client came in and said “I’d like ...

                                                  What does quality jewelry mean to us?

                                                    Have you ever  wanted to know what makes a difference between quality jewelry and the rest?  A great piece should be attractive! Jewelry made by the top companies in the industry will outlast low grade body jewelry. Not all titanium is the same quality. Typically companies that make externally threaded jewelry always use low quality materials as well as make the ...

Well done feet and hand tattoos have been a common request here and we are glad you trust us with these vulnerable ...

                                                          Thank you

                                                            Three of my friends/coworkers have taken a loss at the same time. When someone loses a house in a fire, reflecting on all the good times, the items you’ve grown attached to, pets or otherwise can be daunting to say the least. It makes reconstructing a new life immediately extremely difficult. And then, someone steps up and decides to do ...

                                                            Tattooing over scars

                                                              Scarring can happen to everyone at some point in our lives. For us boys, it’s just part of growing up. Scraped knees and battle wounds from sports labeled me as 100% boy. On occasion, I am blessed to see people make a choice to heal the past and move forward in their lives or a client will decide that once and ...

                                                              Merry Christmas

                                                                Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the shop not a creature was stirring, not even a mop. The stockings were hung by the front display with care, in hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there. The piercers were nestled all snug in their beds, while visions of gold jewlery danced in their heads. And Mama with her coffee, and I with ...

                                                                What Technology?

                                                                  Tattooing is not something we would generally coincide with technology. I’m here to tell you, as a business owner seeking the latest innovations to keep our studio cutting edge, a lot has changed. As sterilization procedures changed through time, we chose to stay on top of it. From total process sterilization indicators to logging data to entering your jewelry into ...

                                                                  Customer Spotlight

                                                                    Angie is my kind of customer. She came in looking to just freshen up an older tattoo, and make a few additions. When a customer comes in and tells me they want flowers and says “Do what you think is best.” I get a smile on my face ear to ear. Because, I want to make it look REAL. It’s a ...

                                                                    What is Titanium Anodizing?

                                                                      Anodizing is the process that changes the way the surface of the metal refracts light, resulting in different colors. An electrical current is applied to the metal and it increases the thickness of the oxide layer on the metal. Titanium body jewelry is anodized to create lots of different, pretty colors. Titanium is a lightweight metal that is ideal for ...

                                                                      Moral Values

                                                                        There are tattoo parlors that will do anything for (or to) anybody that walks (or stumbles) through the door. You see these joints in movies a lot, because they always make for a hilarious “morning after” scene. Good body artists make morality-driven decisions every day because they understand personal expression has the power to build up or tear down. We ...

                                                                        Ball State is BACK!!

                                                                          Ball State has been hustling and bustling with foot traffic, McGalliard is busier with runs to Target and local shopping centers and friends are getting a chance to catch up after a rainy summer.  We get our fair share of that traffic as well. The students are back, are getting in the groove, and figuring out where to spend money wisely. ...

                                                                          Patience Matters!

                                                                            Have you ever been in a situation where you felt pushed out the door? THIS is not how you want to feel when you are receiving a professional service! We pride ourselves in providing you with a professional experience. Our piercers love their job, and even more so, they enjoy taking their time with you. We enjoy the interaction with ...
