    I've been coming to Antidote for years, Lucca is my tattoo artist. He's working on my leg sleeve for me & I couldn't be happier! He's incredibly kind and understanding. His line work and custom designs are . The environment is very welcoming. I highly recommend Lucca to anyone looking for an incredible artist!

    Reesa is a great artist who's really come into her own over the last few years and doesn't charge an arm and a leg to tattoo (your arm or your leg)! Pic is of a Valentine's Day flash I got from her almost 3 years ago, I love it and it's still holding up pretty well.

    Antidote has a TON of great artists- you can't go wrong with any artist you pick, but I just wanted to shout out Oscar for this one. This is my absolute favorite of mine that he has done, I'm obsessed. 10/10 recommend Oscar & antidote tattoo shop!

    The cover up free handed by another artist

    I never intended to leave a bad review--I was honestly scared to do so--but after sharing my experience with others, they encouraged me to warn people, which in hindsight, I know I would've appreciated a warning myself, so here it is. I can't speak for the other artist at this shop--their work looks awesome--but I specifically went to Oscar because he was recommended for the style I wanted. My first tattoo with him started great--the first half was AMAZING. But the second half? Completely botched. I let it slide because the first part was so good, and at least the other half people wouldn't see as much based on its location. Since Oscar specializes in realism, I provided real photos of a lake scene for him to replicate. Unfortunately, the result wasn't even close to realistic. I later had another artist, who actually specializes in realism, cover it up. While Oscar's portrait work is incredible, his skills seem limited to existing photos of people and creatures--when it comes to scenery or original compositions, the quality just isn't there. I always wondered why he never posted any of my tattoos, but now I get it. At this point, every tattoo he's done on me has either been covered up or will need to be removed and redone. The biggest issue was my sleeve, which had problems even before the machine started. I pointed out three stencil mistakes, but he assured me they were fine. I didn't want to be "difficult"--especially after he told me I was his most difficult client--so I went on to trust the bad stencil/him. To this day that's my one life regret. The result was bad linework and sizing issues that I had flagged before it was permanent. Despite my concerns, I kept coming back (my mistake) and even tipped him (also my mistake), which sent the message that I was okay with the work when I really wasn't. When I finally returned for touch-ups--because his tattoos definitely needed them--he ended up making one tattoo worse to the point that it now requires removal. On top of that, he charged me for the session, even though he had previously confirmed touch-ups were free. If additional work required payment, that should have been communicated beforehand. I don't know if the issue was personal or just his artistic limitations, but I strongly do not recommend Oscar unless you're getting a straight-up portrait. His portrait work is undeniably amazing--I just wish I had received that level of quality for my tattoos. If you do go to him, stand your ground. I wish I had been more firm--it would have saved me thousands of dollars on the bad tattoos themselves, the cover-ups, and eventually painful removals that I've been dreading (currently looking for removal recs if anyone has any).

    Spartan Warrior  Artist: Oscar

    There are numerous Artists at Antidote that are extremely talented but if you are looking for realism tattoos, Oscar is the guy! As you can see in the pictures below, Oscar is a VERY talented artist. I've gotten 3 different tattoos from Oscar and he never fails to amaze me with the quality of service he provides. He is a super nice dude that will work with you on the design to make sure that you are getting a quality piece. I get compliments on ALL of the pieces he has done for me, especially the spartan warrior. The detail he is able to pack into a design is UNREAL. There aren't enough good things I can say about Oscar, he's got serious talent. I definitely recommend Oscar as an artist and plan on going back to him for more in the future!

    Been coming to Reesa for my last 3 tattoos. Absolutely love her work and her fine lines! My recent tattoo people think it's a fake tattoo because it has such fine lines and details! Been talking about antidote all day! Love the vibe in the shop and the staff is welcoming and sweet :) always trust her on her work!

    Oscar, @valdam.ink on IG did such a great job on this Death's Head Moth Hawk tattoo. Their shop is currently located in a barber shop in a back room. They said that they will be moving into a more permanent shop soon. He is very professional and very friendly. I plan on coming back to him for another tattoo soon to cover up a scar that I don't like seeing. I highly recommend this tattoo artist!

    This place is still the bomb! Their new location is way closer to my house and I prefer this place on smoke ranch. They have a cute little lobby/waiting area, in the process was really quick. Xenya is truly so amazing!!! I had a flash tattoo done by her a couple years ago and decided to come back because I had a good experience. This time was even better! We chatted the whole time and her tattoo room is so cute. Plushies and anime figures all over and it has her own personal touch. Plus she was playing a show which helped me stay relaxed during my appointment. She asked me a lot of questions and checked on me throughout my tattoo appointment to make sure I was OK. I appreciate that she's not super heavy handed and the tattoo came out AMAZINGGGGG! I've always been a Kingdom Hearts fan and I really wanted a tattoo from the game, so I was so happy that she could bring my idea to life The prices are good too, I like that I went into my appointment, knowing how much it was going to cost (because apparently that's not saying that all tattoo places do) But yeah, I will only come to Xenya for my tattoos, and the other people at the studio are great as well. A+++ experience, I can't wait until my tattoos is all healed so I can flex it to everyone I know LOL

    I gotten my first tattoo done by Xenya and she was great. I Love how my tattoo came out. Highly recommend!

    It was my first time getting a tattoo and felt a bit nervous. Xenya definitely made it a wonderful experience and really satisfied with the results!

    I could NOT be happier with my tattoo done by Oscar! I'm already trying to get some ideas together for my next visit. He did an incredible job, I sent a few reference pictures and what he came up with blew me away. He's extremely personable, he takes so much pride in his work and it shows. Keep up the incredible work dude! Will definitely be a repeat customer.

    Reesa did my first tattoo ever and it was such a positive experience from beginning to end. I absolutely loved her calm demeanor. The studio is cute and clean. The whole place seemed really chill. When I'm ready for another I'll be coming back.

    I had multiple tattoos done here by Xenya and their work was amazing and all I could ask for. They are very helpful and patient with you throughout the entire process!

The only variable I didn't define if the font. I assumed the tattoo artist would know best what would work. For some reason, they wanted me to provide artwork. I get it, you do a lot of work and everybody wants something different, but I just wanted a name and date, since the size was specified, the only thing left to debate was the type style. For some reason, they couldn't or wouldn't quote me, I was told that there was a good chance it would be the shop minimum, but they couldn't confirm and with it being 110 degrees, I didn't want to be shuffling up and down the strip when any competent shop should have been able to quote me in advance. That did in fact happen here, and when the people at Illuminati were clear and told me they would present me with font choice that didn't elevate their quote, I ended up using them. I have no idea how much money flows through Vegas, but when people come here, they come to spend. Pardon me if I like to know in advance what I'm spending. So unless Yelp has changed their policy that a review is a unique experience, I trust that this detailed account of Revolt satisfies the terms and conditions I agreed to. Moderation is great, but without integrity, the review system breaks down.

    All three of us decided the last thing we wanted to do before leaving Las Vegas was to get a tattoo…read more-- and ending up at Black Spade Tattoo was the best decision we could've made. From the moment we walked in, Jenna at the front desk made us feel welcome. Then we met three incredible artists who each brought their own talent and personality to the experience. Brian did mine, and I absolutely love how it turned out. Alex took care of my friend's tattoo and did amazing work. Abi did my wife's piece, and it came out beautifully. All three artists were professional, friendly, and seriously talented. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. We'll definitely be back for more ink.

    *************In Response to Ownership's Comments*************…read moreI never rant, I explain. The fact that you claim the only way to get your best service is to come in is exactly how and why you earned a single star review. So here is my PSA if you care to rectify what you did wrong. Disarm customers. People have stigmas about tattoo. For some it could be the price, for others it could be the pain and for some it could be the quality. I know what I wanted was so vanilla, that anyone could not only do it, but do it quickly. Originally, I thought Koolsville could do it and I'm sure they could, but in reflection, I didn't want a tattoo that was going to fade or not look like a paid full price. If I had a car and parking wasn't an issue, I might have popped in on all the shops I considered, but again, knowing that what I wanted was a 1 on a scale of 1-10 in terms or effort or expertise, I just wanted to know I was going to get what I needed without being ripped-off or dismissed. The shop that I ended up using understood what I wanted, was able to confirm pricing ahead of time and ASSURED ME, IF I CAME IN, I'D BE TAKEN GOOD CARE OF. That didn't happen in my exchange with your staff. *********************************************************** Yelp claims to be a place of integrity, but at times the review system is abused. Reviews are intended to capture an experience. You don't have to spend money or even be a customer to have an experience with a business and that is exactly what I reviewed for Black Spade. I reached out to them about having work done while I was on vacation. Rather than call them rude or abrasive, which they were, I'll just say they were dismissive. Based on that interaction, I continued to request quotes from other vendors before being treated with respect by Illuminati Tattoos. So, unless Yelp has changed their policy and reviews now require a documented exchange of money. That is my first-hand recount of contacting Black Spade. Some times you got to call a spade a spade.

Inspired by the Welcome to Holland poem, my friend and I got matching tulip tattoos--something deeply personal, but also full of beauty and meaning. From the very beginning, Amethyst was everything you hope for in a tattoo artist and more. She was incredibly responsive, warm, professional, and knowledgeable. There's a calm, poised energy about her that instantly puts you at ease--especially if you're someone who finds the whole tattoo process a little intimidating (which, let's be real, a lot of us do). She walked us through every step with clarity and care, making sure we felt comfortable and confident the entire time. Her shop was clean, stylish, and had such a cool, welcoming vibe. And the aftercare kit she gave us? So thoughtful and well put together--it really showed how much she cares about her clients beyond just the appointment. Getting a tattoo is a permanent decision, and finding someone you trust with that is not easy. But Amethyst is absolutely worth that trust. Whether you're local to Vegas or just visiting like we were, she is 100% worth it. 12/10 experience--no notes

Tony understood the assignment and made it so artsy I can't stop looking at it. I'm not sure if I asked for an arrow, as I was exhausted from being out as sober support for my other surveyors after hours, but there is a shape of one with the bee and flower. I traced the lines on a photo because I am that professional and so my qa/qc . I truly love it! The whole appointment was a wonderful experience and now we both have a bee tattoo. I never get spontaneous tattoos and I'm so glad this worked out so well. I doubt I'll do it again unless I find Tony! I'll likely find him/travel if I get another larger tattoo in the future. Also, I want to note he was very respectful and aware I was a child of trauma with issues and a fidget toy. He not only watched for any buddy language, but also empathize with me in his families life experiences. Easiest tattoo experience I have had and it erased a "bad" experience relating to another tattoo artist, though their work was also very good.
