I wasnt even able to get a tattoo. But I put down a deposit then had a medical emergency. And the tattoo artist my husband talked to said I could either do one of 2 things. 1- buy the artwork or 2- get my deposit back. So when my husband went in to get my money back the tattoo artist told me he already drew up the work and we coukdnt get my money back. And the drawing was nothing what we talked about. So my husband walked out with a 60$ piece of paper. Worthless Read Less

My favorite part about Battle Born Tattoo? That all of the artists that I have met there are willing to have conversations. If it isn't a subject that they are not used to they will find someone who is. So you get what you are picturing  in your head.  Both of the tattoos I have gotten there have been rather run of the mill and general but they came out exactly as I wanted. I have had friends go in and get bigger pieces done and the experiences are always one to write home about. Thank you Battle Born and your staff for always having such an open and welcoming atmosphere. Read Less

My friend and I got our first tattoos done here last year around February by Candace. I found her on Instagram and all her work looks great. So we wanted her to do our matching tattoos. When we walked in and met her, my friend and I noticed something was off about her but  weren't sure so we continued with the tattoos. She was very kind and nice throughout the tattoo, no problem there. My friend got a sun that was a bit messed up on the lines but nothing terrible. I, on the other hand, was supposed to receive a moon but ended up with something that looked like a cookie. The circle was messed up and the shading looked very different from what she showed me. I was too excited by my first tattoo that I just took a quick glance and said thanks. On our way out, we examined our tattoos in the car and I quickly noticed mine did not look like a moon. While examining, we smelled marijuana and looked to our left and there was Candace smoking in her car. So going back to when we met her, we realized she wasn't sober when tattooing us. That made me furious because I believe if she was sober, I would have received a moon and not a cookie. I had to walk around months with a cookie on my ankle. The tattoo was so bad that when people would ask what it was and I would respond with a moon and they would laugh and say "that looks like a cookie." Luckily, months later I finally got the ugly cookie covered up. In general, Candace's work on Instagram is great and all but she doesn't always produce that kind of work. She should have been sober while tattooing us, especially if she knew that it was our first tattoos. I personally wouldn't be high at my job knowing my work will be on someone's body for the rest of their life. Save your money and pick another tattoo artist. With what I spent here and on the coverup, I could have received one very nice first tattoo somewhere else. Read Less

I'm very saddened that I will not be getting my work done here BBT since I was very excited to have my first tat done here. I emailed this shop a while back, finally got a response and pricing, and came in to confirm and make an appointment. I was given a price and told to contact the artist and owner with my design and details. Owner told me that the receptionist is not allowed to give pricing and the actual price would be more than double. I've worked in retail before and if I gave a bad price my manager would honor it even if he was pissed at me for it. Again I'm disappointed cuz this shop has great reviews and and the portfolio is awesome. I'll have to find someone else to do it. Read Less

I was very impressed with this shop and my artist, Jared Blue.My dad and I wanted to get a tattoo for my 23rd birthday last year.I had heard wonderful things about Jared and his style was perfect for what we were looking at getting. My dad and I wanted a compass with mountains in the background and some trees since we are frequent hikers. We booked an appointment about a month out (the soonest we could get in that fit with both of our work schedules) & I e-mailed Jared a few pictures we picked out for our hiking theme.We showed up for our appointment and Jared was right on schedule. The drawing he provided was better than I was expecting. It was perfect. This was my 3rd tattoo and my dad's second. He was very patient with us on our indecisiveness regarding the location we wanted. We chose to go with our forearm. You can tell Jared is a focussed artist. My dad and I are 100% satisfied with our matching tattoos, we couldn't have asked for a better artist. Read Less

Awful experience here. I can't review their actual artwork, but their customer service was awful. I emailed and called multiple times asking questions and scheduling appointments. I arrived and was informed they do not give tattoos to minors in visible places (not a law, just a shop rule). It would have been nice if the receptionist informed me of this in one of my many emails and calls. The artist was completely apathetic and wouldn't even give us places in Reno that would give such tattoos. Very disappointing. Update: I couldn't even find another shop to tattoo me because it is a Nevada state law that you must have your birth certificate to get tattooed as a minor. Apparently, the law doesn't apply at Battle Born. Awful. Read Less

My friend and I took a trip to Reno and stumbled upon Battle Born Tattoo. We walked in and were greeted by Archie who scheduled us for our tattoos later that day! Archie was a wonderful person and did an amazing job on both of our tattoos. This was my first tattoo and I couldn't have had a better experience. He was friendly, talked about the pain, and made sure that my tattoo was in the correct place. The tattoo itself was quick and mostly painless--which was a pleasant surprise!  100% would recommend this shop and Archie to anyone. I would gladly go back and get my next tattoo here! Read Less

When someone finally came over to us she started talking to us and immediately looked away and started talking to someone else. Everyone else who entered while we were waiting was helped immediately.

I could not be happier with my experience and most importantly my first tattoo. I get stopped in parking lots and grocery stores just to compliment me on how amazingly beautiful my tattoo is! Every single time I mention the name Ryan Spencer and applaud his beautiful work that will rest on my forearm forever. Ryan Spencer did such an amazing job, he made me feel comfortable and relaxed, and he was such a true artist as well as a genuine person. He made sure that my tattoo was exactly what I wanted it to be, and I am so in love with it! I plan on returning to Ryan for more tattoos! Read Less

I was very impressed with this shop and my artist, Jared Blue.My dad and I wanted to get a tattoo for my 23rd birthday last year.I had heard wonderful things about Jared and his style was perfect for what we were looking at getting. My dad and I wanted a compass with mountains in the background and some trees since we are frequent hikers. We booked an appointment about a month out (the soonest we could get in that fit with both of our work schedules) & I e-mailed Jared a few pictures we picked out for our hiking theme.We showed up for our appointment and Jared was right on schedule. The drawing he provided was better than I was expecting. It was perfect. This was my 3rd tattoo and my dad's second. He was very patient with us on our indecisiveness regarding the location we wanted. We chose to go with our forearm. You can tell Jared is a focussed artist. My dad and I are 100% satisfied with our matching tattoos, we couldn't have asked for a better artist. Read Less

Awful experience here. I can't review their actual artwork, but their customer service was awful. I emailed and called multiple times asking questions and scheduling appointments. I arrived and was informed they do not give tattoos to minors in visible places (not a law, just a shop rule). It would have been nice if the receptionist informed me of this in one of my many emails and calls. The artist was completely apathetic and wouldn't even give us places in Reno that would give such tattoos. Very disappointing. Update: I couldn't even find another shop to tattoo me because it is a Nevada state law that you must have your birth certificate to get tattooed as a minor. Apparently, the law doesn't apply at Battle Born. Awful. Read Less

Absolutely a must if you're looking for exceptional work. Jared Blue created two pieces of art on my trip to Battle Born. Thanks, Jared! Just know, this is cash only establishment.

My friend and I took a trip to Reno and stumbled upon Battle Born Tattoo. We walked in and were greeted by Archie who scheduled us for our tattoos later that day! Archie was a wonderful person and did an amazing job on both of our tattoos. This was my first tattoo and I couldn't have had a better experience. He was friendly, talked about the pain, and made sure that my tattoo was in the correct place. The tattoo itself was quick and mostly painless--which was a pleasant surprise!  100% would recommend this shop and Archie to anyone. I would gladly go back and get my next tattoo here! Read Less

Terrible customer service. Tried to get their attention, took over 10 minutes. When someone finally came over to us she started talking to us and immediately looked away and started talking to someone else. Everyone else who entered while we were waiting was helped immediately. We were deliberately ignored and I would never waste my money on people who dont care about or respect their customers. Don't waste your time here.Read Less

I could not be happier with my experience and most importantly my first tattoo. I get stopped in parking lots and grocery stores just to compliment me on how amazingly beautiful my tattoo is! Every single time I mention the name Ryan Spencer and applaud his beautiful work that will rest on my forearm forever. Ryan Spencer did such an amazing job, he made me feel comfortable and relaxed, and he was such a true artist as well as a genuine person. He made sure that my tattoo was exactly what I wanted it to be, and I am so in love with it! I plan on returning to Ryan for more tattoos! Read Less

It's a shame this place doesn't have 5 stars. All because some guy was upset over an appointment. Archie is a super cool dude and very flexible. He did great work and I always get complimented on how detailed my piece is. Lots of straight lines and he did it no problem. I walked in a month later for a free touch-up being all black.Read Less

I was sent to Battle Born Tattoo by some friends. I must say, all the artists there were extreamly helpful and went out of there way to make sure that I felt welcome. I have been to a lot of shops in Reno and I would have to say that Battle Born has been the most reasonably priced with some of the best artist in town. I would recomend this shop to anyone looking to get a quality tattoo without the attitude. Read Less
