Great experience! I brought my son for his first tattoo! Maks was his artist. This guy does amazing black/gray scale realism. Check him out on Instagram @vegas_tattoo_maksbrand Many other artists also. They were well organized. The ladies upfront were kind and professional. Fun atmosphere. Great location. We will be back!

Best Experience at LV Tattoo!!!! We had an incredible experience at LV Tattoo from start to finish. Booking was unbelievably smooth — no stress, no confusion, just quick and easy communication. When we arrived, every single person we interacted with was warm, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. The atmosphere immediately put us at ease. What really blew us away was how they went above and beyond for our family. Two of the artists arranged their schedule so that my husband and I could get ours done simultaneously as our anniversary celebration. Tim and Sven nailed everything we hoped for with these matching tats and we adore them! They even managed to squeeze in our son for a last‑minute tattoo so we could all get inked together, which meant the world to us. The shop itself was spotless, organized, and clearly run with care and professionalism. My son was unsure of what design and colors to do and they helped him come to a desicion that was something he loves and would look great in tattoo form. Very knowledgeable staff! The artists and staff weren’t just talented, they were kind. They made sure we were comfortable the entire time, and gave thoughtful aftercare advice so we’d heal properly. It felt less like a business transaction and more like being taken care of by people who truly love what they do. We left with beautiful tattoos, great memories, and a huge appreciation for the whole team. We can’t recommend LV Tattoo highly enough. If you’re considering getting work done, this is the place to go.

I went to Vegas in early September of 2022 and had wanted to get a tattoo while there. After much consideration I settled on LV Tattoo, not only because of the location but also because of the incredible artists and reviews they had. Chris T. Did mine, and I could not have imagined it coming out any better. Super professional and was able to work with me in every way possible. Clean environment and even gave me great advice on tattoo aftercare. Overall it was an incredible experience and will be the only place I go to get a tattoo. If your considering getting a tattoo in Vegas, you’ve found the place. EDIT: I returned to this shop in July 2025 to continue work on a sleeve after loving the first pieces I got here. I booked months in advance, paid a deposit, and even sent reference photos of what I had in mind. Unfortunately, when I arrived, Chris didn’t seem to know about my appointment and didn’t remember me or the previous work he had done. That was disappointing, but I still trusted his ability and wanted to move forward. My appointment was at 3 p.m., but it took nearly three hours before we even started tattooing. I expected a design to be prepared ahead of time since that’s what I was told when booking, but instead, everything was planned the day of. Because of this, time ran short—I had plans at 10 p.m.—and I had to stop the session around 9:30. Chris suggested I return the next day to finish, advising me to leave the tattoo wrapped with ointment until then. He said he’d unwrap and clean it at the next session. Trusting his guidance, I followed those instructions exactly. The next day we finished the tattoo. It was painful, but I liked the design and left feeling satisfied. Unfortunately, by the following morning, my arm was severely swollen, painful, and clearly infected. I had to drive 10 hours back home to Wyoming (as I worked the next day) and ended up in the ER. The infection required IV antibiotics, blood tests, and a week of oral antibiotics, leaving me with a $1,200 medical bill. Much of the ink has since fallen out, and the tattoo no longer looks as it did when it was fresh. When I contacted the shop, the owner said he wanted to “make it right” and offered support, but the only resolution he provided was free touch-ups if I ever returned to Vegas. After everything I went through—the lack of preparation, poor instructions, medical complications, and expenses—I felt this response was inadequate. Overall, I was very disappointed. An experienced artist should know whether it’s safe to continue tattooing the next day and whether leaving a fresh tattoo wrapped overnight is advisable. I trusted the professional, and it cost me both financially and physically. Learn from my mistakes: do your research, trust your gut, and never let a professional push you into something you’re not comfortable with. First pictures are from the first session in 2022, the last pictures are from the most recent session.

Walked into LV Tattoo unsure of exact design. As soon as we entered it was a bright and a very clean shop. The gentleman at the counter was nice, patient and helpful. Chris S, our artist, was amazing. He understood what we wanted and made it happen! He was very professional and personable at the same time. Will definitely be back for any tattoo wanted. And Chris S will be our guy. Thank you Chris for your patience and perfection!
