Do you take walk-in's or do you require an appointment?
We always welcome walk-ins, though there is no guarantee that we will be able to fit you in if we are busy with our scheduled appointments. We suggest you call ahead (702-866-6300) to ensure we have an artist available for walk-ins. Many of our artists have extensive clientele who book appointments months in advance since more than 1/2 of our clientele is from out of state or even country. Even if we cannot fit you in at that moment we can discuss your tattoo and schedule you an appointment.

How much will a tattoo cost me?
This varies based on many factors and every tattoo is different. What we can say is that our shop minimum is $100.00. A flat rate can be given for a tattoo if said tattoo can be done in one sitting. It is nearly impossible to accurately quote a tattoo over the phone or email. If you need a ROUGH quote via email please contact us at the contact section of the site. You will need to include a detailed description of what you are wanting, as well as location on the body and approximate size in inches. (If you have reference art please note this in the initial email and have it ready to reply with.)

Is getting a tattoo safe?
With a consistently maintained, sterile environment and professional artist, absolutely. There is always a slight risk of infection that can be dramatically reduced to almost nothing with proper hygiene and aftercare.

Does it hurt to get a tattoo?
Of course it does, but anyone who really wants a tattoo will easily endure the temporary discomfort. It is a sharp, irritating pain; not a throbbing, aching pain. All of our artists have had work done themselves so feel free to ask them what to expect when you contact us.

Can I get an infectious disease from the tattoo needles used?
There has been some concern recently regarding transmittable diseases (particularly Hepatitis-B and AIDS [HIV]) and tattoo shops. As long as the area is strictly sanitized, your chances for infection's are drastically reduced.
Note: We use single use only needles, sterilized or disposable tubes, and all our machine parts are covered prior to starting your tattoo. We pride ourselves in the sterility of our shop, and having not one person who has EVER gotten an infection from our shop while getting tattooed or pierced.
