I have never reviewed any business before but this one is an exception. I got my first tattoo at this shop only because the crew made me feel welcomed and made me feel like it's ok to be intimidated. I was extremely nervous in getting my first tat but attendant and the people around didn't judge me. My tattoo artist, Frank was extremely nice and welcoming I really appreciate him soothing me thru the process of getting my tat. Although it was a tiny ass tat lol I still dont know if he was gentle or that's how it actually feels to get a tat. Was sad when he finished my tat, I even wanted another one. I really appreciate him taking the time to sanitize everything before tatting me, including shaving my arm lmao. 😅😂🤣 Anyways. I am definitely going back to that shop even if its miles away from home. I feel extremely comfortable there and staff/crew are so nice chill back. So thank you LV TATTOO 🙌 Read Less

Walked in Freemont and had to ask the guy for a flyer even though he was CLEARLY promoting... he reluctantly gave me a flyer, and once I arrived in the shop a girl and two guys looked at my friend and I as if we didn’t belong.... I then had to ask her for the services they provided, and before telling me she decided to tell me the minimum price was $150, and then walked away as if she had better things to do and the guys never even acknowledged our presence so my friend decided she didn’t like the vibe... and as her and I were talking and they looked at us with disgust so we decided we APPARENTLY were not welcomed and nor was our money.... VERY RACIST shop... or at least the front desk representatives were! Awful experience! I would suggest if you believe in equal rights spend your money elsewhere!!!! Read Less

Just wanted to give a shout out to Big Justin! He took care of me and my 2 sisters giving us awesome tattoos while we were in Vegas celebrating our Dad's 80th birthday. Will definitely be back! Thanks for the good memories! Read Less

Even though we got yelled at by one of the tattoo artist, his words "You all are at a 10 and you need to take it down to a 3!" Very rude and all. I mean come on we're in Vegas, on Fremont Street! Give us a break for laughing and having a good time! We almost went and requested a refund and left. But then our artist Kat came and got us and she was amazing! Not only did me and my best friend get amazing tattoos she made us feel welcome and made us want to come see her again!! Thanks Kat! Your amazing! Laurie from Colorado Read Less

Due to the fact I was still a minor their was a bit of controversy and negative and discouraging comments made buy a fellow tattoo artist to my artist. But the tattoo Artist (Frank) who did mine was very helpful in helping me pick the best place for my tattoo and sizing. But other than the discouraging comments made by another the artist I found the establishment as a whole very accommodating and a enjoyable experience and I love my tattoo! Read Less

This past weekend I received my first tattoo (at 61 yrs old) Alex is super professional and did a wonderful work. The staff here are really friendly and professional! The shop is bright and very, very clean! Nice job everyone @[694908810642702:LV Tattoo]! Read Less

LV Tattoo, a little bit of an overdue review. I was hesitant to come here at first as it's located in a touristic area, Fremont of course. I stopped by this shop, no appt necessary to see Frank to get some nose piercings done. I'd been following him on instagram for a bit now just keeping steady trying to figure out who exactly I wanted to get my mirrored nostrils done by. Basically the shop was super chill, receptionist was pretty nice, no hassle, the wait wasn't very long at all. The shop looked clean, not messy at all, environment was pretty relaxed as well. Frank answered any questions I had, he was probably one of the nicest piercers I've EVER met. If you're nervous about getting something done, any questions you have, first timers I would definitely recommend going to see him. It's been about two months since I got my piercings, no infections, no funny business it was sore for maybe a day. Obviously it's my responsibility to keep everything nice and clean during the healing process but so far so good! Got what I wanted, everything went smooth, and I couldn't be happier about the decision I made going there.  Thanks a bunch, I hope to come back soon! Read Less

My partner and I were thinking of getting some ink while in LV, but a tad apprehensive as it was my first. The minute you walk in the studio it has such a cool vibe and with the bright lights of fremont street I couldn't think of anywhere better to get my first one. Ryan was super patient with me and explained everything and it turned out better than I expected. The studio is clean and professional! I would recommend to anyone. Thanks again guys, see you on our next visit to Vegas � Read Less

Got my very first tattoo done by Ryan yesterday. It came out better than I could've hoped! They took the time to make sure it was exactly how I wanted it and Ryan was super patient with my wimpy reactions. Got a good vibe from the place the minute I walked in and I had a great experience. Highly recommended! Read Less

Amazing experience while on vacation. Great in and out in an urgent situation with a piercing that had gotten flipped wrong, was swollen, causing much pain and could not be forced back out. Thank you Frank for the professionalism and the fix! Feels great and is healing nicely! Read Less

Went to see Frank the Hammer!!! I was interested in getting a septum and he answered absolutely every question I had!! Super gentle dude. You would think getting anything done in the middle of tourist city no a single person would give a monkeys behind about how you feel or if you're are nervous. Frank calmed me down and I got the piercing I've always wanted!!! Thanks Frank! I'll see you soon!!!! Read Less

Planned to get some ink during my visit to LV, got so lucky to have have Alex the day I went in to LV tattoo. Great guy, suggested the most beautiful font for my line work on my arm. His calm demeanor put me at ease instantly. Great place, clean & professional. I may get another one on my next visit!!!! � Read Less

Great staff, groovy vibes. I always appreciate when any establishment has a genuine attitude - no matter what form that comes in. Would recommend to anyone, didn't see one person leave disappointed during my time in the shop, and of course I dig my new ink as well :) thanks guys! Read Less

Justin did a great job. Very experienced, very professional. Listened to what I wanted then gave his input. He understands the importance of marking someone's body for life and takes it seriously. Not the cheapest tattoo you are going to find, but why would you want it to be. You get what you pay for. Highly recommend Justin! Read Less

Felt they were a bit over priced compare to here but it is Vegas. It's been a week and 2 days since I got ink and now that it peeled I can see it already needs to be filled in. Also a few of my lines from a letter D are not even, needs a bit of a touch up. Staff was great and comfortable environment. Read Less

Derek was my artist and his awesome personality alone made my experience there amazing.....Kept me laughing during my visit .....I would fly to Vegas just to let him ink me again oh yeah and his ink work is just as awesome as his personality!!!!! Read Less

Look no further for a great place to get your work done! The shop is clean, the people are friendly and their work is awesome! Big Justin did mine and was accommodating, patient and did some pretty killer work! I look forward to going back for more!! Read Less

DO NOT GO TO THIS SHOP!!!!! Took my sister to get her first tattoo and idk if they were dirty but her tattoo looks so bad!  $160 for a tattoo that was "professionally done" yet looks infected and scared! The artist was rude and went way to deep! She now has to visit her doctor! Just because it's a shop does not mean they know what they are doing! So upset! Was told they couldn't do anything or refund my money! My sister now has a ugly blown out looking tattoo on her arm! Beware! Will take legal action if her test from her doctor is bad! Read Less

I was in Vegas with a friend of mine and she always wanted a tattoo. We found this place on Freemont Street sort of by accident and honestly I wasn't expecting much. I was wrong. I mean what are the chance that you happen upon the perfect place to get what you wanted? Go figure. :PBut seriously, they were great. Very clean facility and the people were all quite helpful. She ended up getting a small tattoo on the inside of her wrist, a little cute flower.I think before now I always pictured a tattoo shop as dirty and I don't know. But that wasn't what I got here. It was nice. Read Less

Although they did a good job. I had negotiated down the price from 350 to 200. Then my brother got a tat three times the size of mine at Koolsville tat for 80 bucks. It was every bit as good as mine. Although LA is OK they are expensive. Read Less

My husband and I went to Vegas on our anniversary and decided to get tattoos. We talked to the girl at the front desk, and yes she is very honest about what works and what doesn't. We worked with her and the artists, and both ended up with great tattoos. FYI, most tattoo artists have certain styles that are their specialty. I was assigned to one artist, but after looking at his portfolio, I chose to work with someone else. For that kind of money, and because it's permanent, you should get what you want. Everyone at LV was great about it, and their customer service was outstanding. Even though they are all supposed to know all styles, check pictures of their work if you are partial to a certain style of tattoo. Their books are by the front desk. We both left LV Tattoo very happy... recommend it, and plan to go back. Read Less

If I could I would give it zero stars. As soon as we walked in all you hear is the little girl receptionist yelling at an elderly lady that the tattoo she wanted is a "shit idea."  She then tells the women to look at some generic tattoo images from the I pad. This obviously set off an alarm for me because tattoos should be personalized to the person.  Finally it's my turn to talk to her about my possible tattoo, I show her a picture of a general idea of what I thinking of getting. This isn't my first tattoo soI know how the process works, I was open to suggestion since they are the professionals. She looked at my picture with a sour look on her face the whole time. She then proceeded to tell me that my tattoo "should never be done on somebody."  My mother and I tried to explain to her that this is just a general idea and that we are open to any suggests she may have. Well she didn't any suggestions for us, all she said was " It doesn't matter it's a shit tattoo and it will look fucking terrible in a year. "  Then she brought out her trusting iPad so that we could pick out a tattoo idea from there. All the iPad offered was tattoos with thick lines and no detail. We looked at one page and walked out. It's a shame because all of the reviews make it seem like the artists have some talent but the receptionist was so rude to not only me but my mom  that I was not going to stay there. A word of advice, have your clients discuss design ideas with the actual artist.P.s. Not going to pay 125 to get treated like shit. Read Less

So when I was planning my trip to Vegas, I knew one of the things I wanted to do was to get some new ink, just to say that I've done so (I don't get to Vegas very often haha). I stay loyal to my guys here locally in town, but I did some research on Yelp and LV Tattoo was one of the top rated places based on customer reviews so I wanted to check to check the shop out. I made it a point to wait until my last day in Vegas so I didn't have to worry about covering a new tattoo up from the sun, or not being able to swim during my vacation.  While walking the strip, there were various shops spread about, but when we got to talking about price, I was quoted anywhere between $600-$1,200 for a band of the continents (picture a globe) around my upper arm, no colors, no shading, just black outlines.  That's a no go for me, because I wasn't going to blow my entire vacation budget on a tattoo, plus the people in the strip shops weren't very personable, and it was no surprise that no one was sitting in the chairs getting work done whenever I walked in.  So my last night, we went downtown to Fremont street and I could see LV Tattoo's shop, upstairs near the stage at the end of the street.  We go in (it's around 11pm) and were greeted by three super cool people who were laughing and having a great time - much more welcoming than any shop I saw on the strip.  I asked to look at some of the portfolios, which were mostly digital on iPads, but this becoming the norm these days.  I had already decided to down scope my tattoo from the continents to simply the state of California and a small red star over my hometown and was quoted $240 - a little more than what I would pay here BUT far more reasonable than any other shop I went into in Vegas, plus I felt super comfortable with all of the staff immediately and knew this was the place for me.  Overall it took less than an hour from planning to stencil to a work of art and I could tell the woman who did my work was passionate about what she did (I really wish I could remember her name, but I did have a few beers earlier in the evening).  The conversations were also great as well.  I know that on my next trip to Vegas, this will be the place I'll come for my next 'vacation tattoo' and thanks for accepting walk-in's so late at night!

When I walked into the studio and approached the desk it was obvious that the three men behind the counter didn't want to assist me, despite me wanting to book an inking. They looked at each other until one finally sighed and came over. I felt that the long-haired gentleman serving me couldn't have cared less about my custom, groaning when I asked if he could change the size of my planned tattoo. He didn't make eye contact with me once and was incredibly rude. In the end I walked out. If someone couldn't even be bothered to speak to me then how could I trust them to put something permanent on my skin? I can't understand how this place has such good reviews on here. The most awful customer service I've ever experienced. A real shame when I had planned to spend a lot of money. Don't waste your time. Read Less

From the time you walk in and meet those at the counter you'll know you chose the right Las Vegas tattoo shop. Kat was awesome, the entire shop was amazing. Made you feel welcome and at home, meeting the owner Johnny was a blessing. Super clean shop, professional, and most importantly, serious about what they do. No doubt they are all amazing artists however Kat was mine and she flat out "NAILED IT". I couldn't be happier or more proud of my new piece and give this place 5 - *****'s. PS: Hair Girl (you know who you are), your hair looks great!!!! Read Less

Friendly, patient & accommodating staff, very clean environment, good music selection ( Black Flag & Bad Brains were playing while I was being ink'd )I went there with 2 friends and the three of us all got tattoos. Marq ink'd me. He was fantastic! He took his time and was patient with re-sizing and re-drawing my Milo / Descendents tattoo. It healed great and all in all, through & through I was very pleased with my experience at LV Tattoo Read Less

Had a great experience here! Both my friend and I decided on some spontaneous piercings. The shop was very clean and the piercer was professional. The jewelry was a little pricey but the place is right on Fremont and still totally worth it. I would recommend! Read Less

I came to get my belly piercing here and not even a day later it was red and irritated. It became super infected and I know how to care for belly piercings. I'm not sure what they did or if they clean their rings but thanks a lot. 75$ bucks for nothing . Read Less

Way way way overpriced. They didn't even know what tattoos both of us wanted and hey we're charging $300 for the both of us when we wanted the smallest tattoos possible. No recommended at all. The worst. Just trying to make money in a tourist area. Horrible. Read Less

My wife and I enjoy Las Vegas on a yearly basis for vacation. We don't normally travel to Fremont street so we took a chance. We stumbled upon a great tattoo shop. During the beginning of our stay we traveled to several tattoo parlors directly on Las Vegas Blvd. I found them to be difficult to work with and unwilling to help us with what we were looking to have done. I thought when we came into  LV Tattoo that it was probably going to be the same experience. Well I was certainly wrong! I was greeted politely and promptly by the front counter staff and people hanging around the front end of the parlor were very easy to talk with and had great attitudes. I was with an artist named Mark. I thought he was wonderful, he took good care of us and made sure everything was perfect. Read Less

I was worried about getting a tattoo right on Fremont street,  thinking that it might be a tourist trap lacking in quality.  I was pleasantly surprised with an awesome experience.  We happened to meet Johnny at the door,  explained what I wanted,  he calmed my fears and turned me over to Hannah who got me all set up.  There was a bit of a wait,  so Hannah texted me when they were ready and Bryan delivered exactly what I wanted.  From beginning to end,  it was a great experience and I would recommend them!

I was at the Fremont Experience enjoying the free entertainment and people watching and I saw a tattoo sign about halfway in.   I went upstairs past a bunch of flash art on the wall to check out the shop.   The shop looked clean but that was all I could say was positive.   After you walk in, there is a table of books with flash drawings inside. There were no real artists portfolios,  just books of flash drawings and an iPad to look up tattoos.   Um,  I would like to see the artists "real work" and not a bunch of pictures copied off google.  Workers at shop weren't the friendliest and i wasn't getting any good vibes from this place.   After being familiar with tattoos for a few years now,  it's Super Important to look up the tattoo artists work to see if it's good or not.   Ever go on instagram and see tattoo nightmares?  You should.   Never go to a shop where someone tells you to search up an image on their iPad because that is sketchy as heck.   Ask to see their artists' real work and if there is no portfolio, run away fast!  Shop minimum $125Always tip your artist Read Less

Marissa helped my daughter and I celebrate her 18th bday with matching tattoos. She was sweet and patient and gave us exactly what we wanted. The price was much more reasonable than on the strip. Great first time experience. Read Less
