I decided to get my first tattoo. Knowing very little about this whole thing I googled the best tattoo shop and artist in Las Vegas and James Strickland and Seven Tattoo studio came up. So I made an appointment and waited few months because James really busy. Surprisingly, environment was very relaxing and chill, nice music playing, people are smiling and happy. I wasn't sure what kind of tattoo I wanted because the design I had in mind wasn't final. I started talking with James. James was very nice and helpful, answered all my questions. I ended up talking to James, and he gave me some awesome suggestions about my design and I decided to go for it right there and then. James worked on the stencil and the design for an 30 min (damn, he needs just 30 min to create incredible design for me), patiently revising it using my feedbacks. Finally it was just perfect and it just happened! James was very professional, you could tell he knows what he's doing. It didn't hurt as much closer to the elbow but it did hurt quite a lot closer to the wrist. I guess it depends on the location.I was also afraid that once I get a tattoo, as a perfectionist, I'm gonna be like oh well, what's done is done and see all the imperfections and accept it, but no, James pulled it off just perfect! I was so happy with how it turned out! At the end he explained how to maintain it till it heals. Also I was afraid that the time he spent on the design counted as the hourly rate, but no, he only charged for the hour he was actually tattooing .So total was 8 hours and only ONE session (yeah, I'm crazy dude).Couldn't be any happier. Perfect environment, great people. Definitely coming back there. By the way I got free sandwich from them because I was really hungry. Read Less
