They were able to get us in the next day for an appt. Nico did a wonderful job on my rose and quote, worked to blend it in with the style of my previous peony done by Dan. Nico took his time, asked for feedback, and was patient when I wasn't sure about where to put my quote. He was a pleasure to work with, and his artistry skills are fabulous. This tattoo also didn't hurt as much as previous tats I've had... he was gentle and a great guy! Best wishes to Nico, his wife and new son! Thanks so much love my new tattoo!

Got my 3rd tattoo(and first actual professional ink) done here years ago as an anniversary gift…read more It was flash dragon piece on my back, it was cheap and wasn't done all that well but I liked it well enough as when I wear tank tops, it kinda looks like I have wings sticking out. Now the son of the owner runs the place and apparently he allowed a guest artist to come in and do a Nazi tattoo in their shop. There used to be a time when asking for this kind of thing would get you tossed out of a shop at a minimum and artists would be blackballed from the scene. Totally unacceptable, Jesse.

Creese is an incredibly talented artist. It's one thing to create amazing custom work with weeks of planning, but it's another to take a walk-in idea and turn it into a piece of art that exceeds expectations. His skill, attention to detail, creativity, and confidence were obvious from the moment he started. The finished tattoo is clean, bold, and looks even better than I imagined. The entire experience was professional, welcoming, and comfortable from start to finish. If you're in Reno and thinking about getting a tattoo--whether you've had it planned for months or decide on a spur-of-the-moment walk-in--I highly recommend Prison Blues Tattoo Studio inside the Grand Sierra Resort & Casino. Ask for Creese--you'll be glad you did. Thanks again for the awesome work! Go Dodgers!

I definitely asked alot for my sleeve and hands tattoos, Kenny took my input and knocked it out of the park.

Angel Hands Ink is truly the best tattoo studio!(I love it here)…read more The owners Doug and Ronnie are truly the best. They are always welcoming and truly give the best customer service.

The owner Doug, and a few of the artists in the shop that day were Ali and Bre. They were all super helpful making sure that the artwork I wanted was perfect. They made some color adjustments and placement adjustments that worked out the best for my new tattoos. I walked in planning to get one new tattoo, I left with three. Ali has an amazing hand, very light handed compared to any other tattoo I have ever received. I will absolutely make the 8 Hour Dr. to go back multiple times to see Ali,Doug and the rest of the crew.

All three tattoo artists: Casey, Ehren, and Jared were great. 3 of my girl friends and myself…read moreincluded went in to get a spur-of-the-moment tattoos. Usually when you hear that, you'll either think we're drunk or will regret getting the tattoos because it came out looking horrible. Well, we were all in our great state of mind and our tattoos turned out looking great. Casey and Jared did my other two friend's tattoos and they praised their work. Ehren did mine and my friend's tattoos. Although it was a simple and required a few lines, the process was quick, simple, and for us, painless. Ehren was patient beginning to end. He took his time to draw out what we wanted and made sure the placement is exactly where we wanted also. He didn't rush the process and he made us feel comfortable. I swear it took less than 5 mins from the moment the needle touched my skin to the phrase, "I am finished." Yes, that is what he said, no pun intended. What I like about this shop is that they don't just use ripped up plastic foils you buy from grocery stores to put on food containers over lining it with regular office supply tape; they use the actual stick on tattoo healing thing (don't know the name) that stays on without having it fall off when you put clothes on or shower. It is a $80 min, which is reasonable. Remember that every artists have their own speciality with tattoo styles. Tattoos are a forever thing, so check out their individual social media accounts to see what/who works with your liking :)
