The shop is a typical tattoo parlor with a good vibe to it. I spoke with Russell (30 yrs tattooing)…read moreand told him I was looking for a tattoo of my dog's face inside of Lake Tahoe and an American flag as the surrounding water. I gave him a photo of my dog. He told me to give him a week or two and he would create what I'm looking for. Two weeks later he called me and said he was done with the drawing. I went back and Russell showed me his drawing. It was exactly what I was looking for. I then set an appointment I've had other tattoos but it had been over ten years since my last. This tattoo took about four hours. But it went by quickly. Russell even gave me some suggestions on the placement which I agreed to. When Russell finished I was extremely happy with the tattoo. I highly recommend Lucky 7 and Russell for the quality and professionalism too.

Let me begin by saying that I NEVER write yelp reviews, I just read them. As testament to my very…read morestrong feelings concerning Mark and the entire Truth family, I think that this will be my very first one... It almost hurt MY feelings to read that one negative review from Michael and I hope that this review (along with the multiple others) can trump that bad seed. I have been getting tattooed by Mark for almost 2 years now. He did my first "big" piece. I have a few other tats from random shops along the way, but once I was introduced to Mark, I knew I had stumbled upon something amazing. Mark is not only a unique and talented artist, but he's a good-hearted, honest, and beautiful person. I've sat for multiple day-long sessions with him and there is never an uncomfortable or unhappy moment-aside from the fact that you are being stuck repeatedly with a needle of course. However, even THAT isn't so bad, as Mark has a steady, gentle flow as well as some fantastic equipment. You can't even hear that often annoying "buuuuuzzzz" sound from his machine. The environment is relaxing (waterfalls, live plants, candles) and inviting. There is all kinds of art on the walls, prayer flags and clouds on the ceiling-no scary biker skeleton shit that little white chicks like me might get scared away by. I've been in other shops that make me feel intimidated, or like I don't belong there. Not at Truth! It is honestly such a family-oriented environment. I've met his kids on multiple occasions (so adorable!) and his wife is awesome too! My boyfriend is the one that originally sent me to Mark. He has such an incredible following. Mark is super personable and a great conversationalist. If you've ever sat for a long session before you know that this is a huge plus in an artist. You don't want to have to lay there bored and in pain for hours. Time literally flies by with Mark. As for his tattoos...I can't express how impressive his work is. As other reviews have mentioned, if you want a shamrock or a heart on your big toe, go to one of those places that have you pick your design off the wall or out of a book. Mark's pieces are brilliant interpretations of the clients dreams. His "book" is filled with full sleeves of Where the Wild Things Are, morphing fire phoenixes, tree women, and all kinds of crazy custom creations. I came to Mark with an idea for a large piece and we worked together (looked at photos/ brainstormed ideas/ sketched different elements) to bring my vision to life. He talked me through every step of the process...even to the point of me saying "Mark, you are amazing, just do what you think is best." The journey of creating a permanent piece of art on your body can become very emotional and sometimes trying in many ways, but Mark is such an intuitive person that he understands all of the process as if through the clients eyes. Reaching that level of trust with your artist is so wonderful. I am so grateful. I truly think that if you are type-A and want a tattoo RIGHT NOW and are in any way close-minded, you definitely should consider looking at another shop. There are artists out there who will be right for you. But, if you are not afraid to step outside the box a little, you're not afraid of tweaking your original vision for the betterment of the overall masterpiece, you aren't in some major kind of rush and understand that perfection (dare I use that word) may take some time, and you are chill, friendly, and generally a good soul, you will love Mark, and he will love you too! He has such passion what he does, and that just makes it so much better. After our last session he said to me, "Damn I had so much fun today." I have no idea who that person Michael is nor do I care, but I have a suspicion that his negative attitude toward Mark and his shop may have more to do with the type of person he is, not necessarily Mark's abilities or attributes as a shop owner and artist. All in all, I highly recommend Truth Tattoo to anyone whether it's your first tat or your 15th..Mark will hook you up! Stop by the shop and check it out for yourself!

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!

The whole experience felt professional, gentle, and genuinely caring. I never felt rushed or brushed off, and her calm energy made the entire process so much easier, especially for something that can make people nervous. If you're thinking about getting a Medusa piercing, or honestly any piercing, I highly recommend asking for Jessica. She clearly cares about her work and the people she's working on.
