    Here we go again. This is our 3rd session with Val. She is a true artist! Her work is phenomenal so we keep coming back. Yesterday she hammered out two beautiful tattoos. One for me and one for my daughter. Can't wait for our next session.

    Sena is AMAZING. I've gotten my third tattoo from her today. Not only is her work immaculate, she's so sweet, kind, professional, and really pays attention to details. I could not ask for a better artist. When you stop by, ask for Sena.

    My first two tattoos were done by different artists and then a friend recommended Daniel's work and from then on I was hooked. He's done two large pieces (One on my back and a sleeve on my left arm) and a piece on my neck as well and every time I've gone, he's been quick, patient and very attentive to his work. The establishment is always very clean and I like how open the spaces are so you can watch and observe other artists and their clients. Can't wait to go back for more ink. He's also done my husband's tattoo and now my husband is craving more ink =)

    New update! Yesterday I went and got more work done for my full color tattoo sleeve. Shianne is my artist who I get the work done. She has been fixing up previous work done that I was not satisfied with and has done such an amazing job so far. It's like times better than what it was and I'm so glad she decided to work with me on my sleeve. Her prices are reasonable, she's very professional and her work station is sanitary. The entire shop is. The owner of the shop seems to be a nice lady she's active in the shop all the time as well. Another gentleman that works there was polite and everyone here seems to be open and down to earth. The shop music is versatile, you get country, rock, hip hop, ect. They know how to tattoo all different types of skin in this shop so you do not have to worry about artist who do not have experience and this shop (artists in the shop) has over 25 years of experience plus. Highly recommended and very easy to work with. Clean professional quality work and equipment. Thank you

    I would give a millions stars if I could. I can only speak about Jake, who is amazing. He is very friendly and easy to talk to. I had the stencil put in THREE different places before I saw exactly what I had been imagining. He was so patient and allowed me to get it exactly how I wanted. I am over the moon. Thank you!!

    So I have been to several tattoo shops but I must say this one stands above the rest. First off they are on the corner of flamingo and Fort Apache right behind the goodwill. From the moment you walk in the door you will be greeted by every artist in the building and they are extremely friendly and work well together. They are constantly helping each other with sketches and will comment on work or make suggestions when needed So my guy is Johnny and he has been doing tats for over 15 years. Johnny is super cool and laid back and always has a smile on his face. The thing I really like about the shop is Johnny won't charge you for a drawing and will really work with you to bring your vision to life as well as offer his input based on his 15 years in the industry. I can tell you that the pieces he has done for me have come out better than where we started and I trust him to really make some magic happen. I been to many shops and tats are not cheap anymore but Johnny will make sure that you can get a piece of art at a affordable price and his attention to detail is like no other and his work station is ALWAYS clean and sanitary which is highly important, he also takes walk ins and appointments and will be flexible with your schedule . I will let the rest of the pictures speak for themselves. And I will be back in a few weeks to get some more work

    My journey with Jake began nearly 8 years ago with my second ever tattoo that eventually developed into a beautiful sleeve. I say "second ever tattoo" because my first, a heavy black equal sign on my calf, was done by a different artist in town and it healed so terribly and the line work was awful. After my first session with Jake was over, I trusted him enough to share my concerns with him about the first tattoo. We spent another hour together past his appointment time with me because he wouldn't let me leave without allowing him to fix the botched the equal sign. He sincerely wished to make me feel confident about that first tattoo and he did a wonderful job fixing it. Since then it's been Jake all the way. Jake is the most patient, kindhearted and skilled artist I've ever had the pleasure of sharing time with. Of course I can't deny that he's my only artist but I've met plenty through the years. His attention to detail is brilliant and he has consistently impressed me with his line work and shading from year one to year 8. I am in no way artistically inclined so all of my tattoos have gone from ideas to reality with Jakes beautiful interpretations. I've always put my trust in him to make the best decisions for my designs, placement and colors without having to give up the freedom of meeting my specific desires. He is always receptive to changes and tweaks and never expresses frustration or judgement even after the millionth change. I've shared great conversations with Jake while in the chair and his bedside manner has always put me at ease. I've never questioned my safety during a session with him and I know I'm in control of the session should I want to end early or keep battling on. Through the easiest spots and the most painful of areas he's always encouraging and engaging through the process. I'm proud to recommend Jake to my family and friends

    Great and professional place to get a tattoo. I came here because it was a friend of a friend and I really had a great time and my tattoo worked out great it looks good.

    Shannon did a wonderful job and took her time to do my tattoo the way I wanted it!

    Shiann did a wonderful job using her artistic ability and asking what I wanted to bring my tattoo alive. She is amazing!

    Love coming to this shop and to Jake specifically! I found him through a friend when I wanted to get a memorial tattoo for my dad. He was able to create something that was only a concept in my head. He is extremely friendly and makes the entire experience even better just by being himself. His work is top notch and he's now my go to for all the pieces I want!

    Amazing tattoo experience. Thank you John Bates!
    Donnell S.

    John Bates has been our Sablan Family tattoo artist for at least the past 7+ years. So, when my youngest son (17) was ready for his Guam Seal to represent our family's heritage, John was the only person we could trust. My son, Trev, texted John a few ideas and scheduled an appointment with John. John's creativity, talent and design were way above expectations. He drew a beautiful design for Trevor. The tattoo experience for my son (and my husband and I while we waited) was exceptional. John is engaging, charismatic and just plain fun to talk to--exactly the type of person/tattoo artist we would want for our family. Trevor's experience was outstanding, and he loves his tattoo. Thank you to Blue Buddha and especially John for making the whole experience amazing. Our family will return for more tattoos. Highly recommended for Las Vegas locals as well as tourists. For locals, it's best to make an appointment so John could create the exact masterpiece that you would expect and want to showcase forever. 100% satisfied.

    FRANK Oh. My. God…read more Where do I even begin with this absolute fever dream of an experience. I went to frank for a tattoo thinking I was about to embark on a meaningful, spiritual journey of self-expression. What I actually embarked on was a psychological thriller directed by someone who once saw a tattoo machine in a YouTube ad and said, "Yeah, I can do that." First of all, this man's studio looked like a storage unit that lost a custody battle. The "vibe" was somewhere between abandoned dentist office and haunted vape shop. There was a single folding chair that sounded like it was begging for mercy every time I breathed. Now let's talk about the tattoo. I actually had to take a lap around the studio because WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT'S ON MY BODY FOREVER AND IT'S PERFECT??? The lines are so clean they look AI-generated. The shading? So smooth it feels illegal. The placement? Spiritual. Cosmically aligned. If I stand at the right angle I'm pretty sure it unlocks inner peace. I keep catching myself staring at it like it's a new pet. I have shown it to strangers. I have adjusted my outfits to make sure it's visible. I moisturize it like it's royalty. If it asked me for rent, I would pay it. The pain? Worth it. The adrenaline? Elite. The emotional attachment? Concerning. This tattoo has changed my personality. I now say things like "yeah, my artist..." as if I've been part of an underground art collective for years. I have zero chill about it. If you make eye contact with me for longer than two seconds, I will show you. Five stars for talent. Five stars for making me question reality. I walked in mildly nervous and walked out feeling like I had just been branded by a mysterious but benevolent art deity. Would I go back? Absolutely. Would I understand him any better? Probably not. Do I care? Not even slightly. Anyway, 10/10. No notes. I would absolutely let this happen to me again.

    I walked in as a normal human being and left spiritually reconfigured, emotionally moisturized, and…read morepermanently superior in a slightly concerning way. All because of Frank. The line work? Cleaner than Charlie Sheen. The shading? Smoother than my ability to make responsible life choices. At one point I genuinely considered framing the stencil and starting a minimalist life devoted solely to admiring it. Not only did he absolutely demolish my expectations (in a good way, like i demolish Taco Bell after a breakup bender), but the vibes were immaculate. 10/10 would trust him with my skin, my secrets, and possibly the deed to my house. Book the appointment. Let him alter your molecular structure. You won't regret it.

Inspired by the Welcome to Holland poem, my friend and I got matching tulip tattoos--something deeply personal, but also full of beauty and meaning. From the very beginning, Amethyst was everything you hope for in a tattoo artist and more. She was incredibly responsive, warm, professional, and knowledgeable. There's a calm, poised energy about her that instantly puts you at ease--especially if you're someone who finds the whole tattoo process a little intimidating (which, let's be real, a lot of us do). She walked us through every step with clarity and care, making sure we felt comfortable and confident the entire time. Her shop was clean, stylish, and had such a cool, welcoming vibe. And the aftercare kit she gave us? So thoughtful and well put together--it really showed how much she cares about her clients beyond just the appointment. Getting a tattoo is a permanent decision, and finding someone you trust with that is not easy. But Amethyst is absolutely worth that trust. Whether you're local to Vegas or just visiting like we were, she is 100% worth it. 12/10 experience--no notes

We found ourselves here the night before our flight, as I'm not one to trust a super cheap shop. Tony was amazing. I wanted to fit into the theme of north arrows but I didn't want to be literal as I already have a compass tattoo. I'm from Oregon and wanted a stalk of lavender and a bee. Tony understood the assignment and made it so artsy I can't stop looking at it. I'm not sure if I asked for an arrow, as I was exhausted from being out as sober support for my other surveyors after hours, but there is a shape of one with the bee and flower. I traced the lines on a photo because I am that professional and so my qa/qc . I truly love it! The whole appointment was a wonderful experience and now we both have a bee tattoo. I never get spontaneous tattoos and I'm so glad this worked out so well. I doubt I'll do it again unless I find Tony! I'll likely find him/travel if I get another larger tattoo in the future. Also, I want to note he was very respectful and aware I was a child of trauma with issues and a fidget toy. He not only watched for any buddy language, but also empathize with me in his families life experiences. Easiest tattoo experience I have had and it erased a "bad" experience relating to another tattoo artist, though their work was also very good.
