Absolutely stunning tattoo shop Very clean Many artist with many different specialties Fair prices for quality work Easy to book last min appointment I am visiting Vegas and no better place to get a Vegas tattoo but in Vegas. I reached out on yelp and someone responded right away with info of who and what was available. Coming in I wasn't sure 100% what I was getting but just had some ideas. Masu was the artist I chose and I couldn't have been more excited. She is so creative and beyond talented. She was able to take me ideas and draw them there and then in her own beautiful way. She was also very accommodating to any breaks I needed. I'm so happy with the work and service from the shop. Thank you
The atmosphere of this shop is Wide Open Spaces without the crappy country music vibe. And if you're going to spend 1/3 of the day here, it's nice to not feel like you're stuck in a confined area. Lots of room to walk around and pleasant music that isn't too loud, so you can wear your own headphones and zone out. Just don't listen to something with a good beat or you'll start moving around to much. We made appointments months in advance as the artists are super popular, and for good reason. My artist was Omega and he does awesome realism tattoos. I had an idea of what I wanted and he took the idea, searched for examples and designed the tattoo on his Tablet (I think it was a leapfrog, but more advance than mine). It took him like 2 hours and he made an awesome mockup. We arrived at noon after eating at the Sunrise Coffee in the plaza nearby, and I finally got in the chair shortly after 2p. I was there until a little after 8p and am super happy with the finished product. The forearm is a little tricky and he was accommodating to make sure I was in a comfortable position. We took breaks about every 2 hours or so. All of the artists here are super talented (look at their pics), so do your research and make an appointment (and pay a deposit). Make sure you eat before or bring something to eat, just not a Subway Seafood and Crab or Black Bean Soup. For my 1300th Review, why not make is special with the place I got my first tattoo. Once I saw the realistic tattoo style, I decided to just go for it. It's my favorite city and something I've thought about for a long time. We'll see how long it will take for me to get my 2nd! TLDR: Just go here for quality work! You won't regert it. (and bring a Milky Way, lol)
This town is full of good artists. You can find them in any strip mall Only Basilica has Amanda Lopez. She's not a good artist. She's a virtuoso. She is to tattooing what Dali was to painting, what Mozart was to composition, what Brady is to football, what Satriani is to guitars, what Pahlaniuk is to literature, what Scorsese is to film. I've had other tattoos. I brought in some art I created, and they did their best to recreate it. Amanda looked at what I brought, made it better, and brought it to life on my leg. She made it better than the original. She made my subject matter look like she's ready to jump off my leg and into our reality - and somehow be more real than any of us while she does it. (Hopefully, Yelp won't remove the pic. We'll see.) My only regret is that she didn't do all my other tattoos. I can't give a strong enough recommendation. (Oh, everyone else at Basilica seems pretty talented, too. I was seeing some of what they did with other people, and it's like being in a studio with Caravaggio, Rembrandt, da Vinci, and Michaelangelo all at the same time. And Amanda somehow managed to outshine them all.)
The shop is super cute! Everyone is very friendly and wow I must say AMAZING ARTISTS!!!! I've gone to Luis a couple of times now and he's never let me down. He's so good with colors and his attention to detail is just beautiful I thank him for capturing my two fur babies' personalities so perfectly
I did my research & looked for a 5-star shop that I would be satisfied with. I took a chance & gave Lachy a chance, his work looked good enough & I am always trying to help new artist build their portfolio. Came in & got tattooed, there was a language barrier since he didn't speak English which they failed to mention which is shady. While tattooing me he got up & disappeared for 10 minutes without telling me he would & that was unprofessional. The tattoo was done, & I was worried because I told him the lines were a bit off & he did try to fix it, but it didn't help. He told me to let it heal & give it a month to settle. I left a $200 deposit for a future tattoo & scheduled for the future. A month went by & the lines didn't magically adjust themselves, I thought the tattoo was over saturated as well (too dark) in some areas. They gave me a hard time to come in & fix my tattoo, Lachy made it seem like I was crazy & seeing things - I told the front desk I wasn't sure if I wanted to come for my next tattoo since the first one had me a bit upset, she decided to go ahead & cancel it instead of asking whether I wanted to cancel or not. They assumed I didn't want to come in instead of reassuring me and handling my disappointment professionally. I came in & saw Lachy, he had an attitude which I expected since he's upset that I am not happy with his work. He came off arrogant as he did the first time, I met him, but I didn't let it bother me. Harim & another artist saw my tattoo and admitted that the lines were crooked, but they weren't bad - but it's on my skin & I'm not happy with it. Lacey seemed hesitate since he couldn't see his mistakes which was very frustrating - after showing him repeatedly what was wrong, he just ended up making the lines thicker. Somewhat helped but now the lines are crazy thick. He goes to the back & comes back with my $200 and tells me he can't do the tattoo I wanted because he doesn't do black and grey - yea okay he's offended and doesn't want to work with me. Look at this IG so you can see the baloney. I end up calling the store the next day & spoke to the manager Vanessa & she knew exactly why I was calling, she made me explain myself to only tell me "yea he told me already" couldn't she just save us time & tell me at the beginning of the conversation instead of wasting my time explaining? She ends up telling me that "you started it" so me being unhappy with the results that I got, a tattoo that is on my skin isn't a big deal for a client to be upset about? I was painted as a difficult client and the whole experience left me disgusted. I reached out to my tattoo artist that moved out of state and he even verified that the tattoo was crooked, and I was not in the wrong. Look's like another of Lachy victims had the same unfortunate experience I did. Which is unfortunate to the other artists there that are probably way more professional and do great work but like the saying goes, one bad apple spoils the bunch.
Whack tattoo shop for not telling me my artist doesn't speak English until he told me himself at the appointment. I have no issue with a non-English speaking artist, but he misunderstood what I wanted for my tattoo and I'm not going to rely on Google translate to mess up my words, either. I asked for a paintbrush stroke band, he said he understood, and I got a plain black band. I was fine with that, but it's crooked and different sizes around my arm. I can't see the back of my arm well in a mirror, the skin gets distorted. The front looked great to me and I didn't need it to be perfect. He clearly didn't want to do this tattoo, but was fine taking my money and that is something grimy as @#$! to do to anybody. Never trust an artist that doesn't care if you change a design and doesn't ask what you want it changed to. The receptionist didn't tell him about the change to my design, because he didn't know when I got there. WHACK! The receptionist should have told me there would be a language barrier before I came in. Not only that, but he applied my Saniderm so sloppy that it came off in less than 24 hours. I had to go buy new Saniderm, which stayed on for 5 days without an issue when I applied it myself. He told me to keep the SAME Saniderm on for 7 days straight without changing it. What????? Please tell me anywhere online that advises you keep Saniderm on without changing it out within 24 hours or that you keep it on for longer than 5 days. I knew Lachy's hourly rate going into my tattoo. $250 for photorealism is fine. I originally booked Lachy for a realistic piece but changed my mind last minute and just wanted to use up my deposit. Thank God I changed my mind and I chose something simple. I knew the band would take over an hour, but for it to be crooked and uneven? Absolutely unacceptable for $500. Black bands are hard to get lined up, but then refuse the tattoo if you can't do it. Or take the time to make it right. Even better, give me an artist that feels confident they can do it. Or if you know the tattoo isn't tons of shading and linework, charge a flat rate as an exception. There were so many options and the artist chose the shady route. The owner of the studio responded to my partner's review saying that tip means you're happy with your tattoo. No, it doesn't. I tip regardless of service because it's the right thing to do. He spent time on this lame tattoo, so I tipped him for his half effort time - but the reputation of this studio is going to catch up to it if it keeps treating customers this way. Ya'll do some incredible work, especially the owner - that doesn't mean you're in the right because other people got good tattoos. I waited 20 mins for him to take his 'lunch break' at 2pm and stand at reception. He used a small liner to fill in the black until it took 15-20 mins to fill in 2 inches and then swapped needles to a magnum. That's why I'm pissed about the cost. It wasn't 2 hours worth of tattooing, he made it 2 hours. After it heals, I need to go get the band reworked by someone who takes more than 10 minutes to line it up. If you're doing a tattoo outside your comfort zone, you should JUST NOT DO THE TATTOO. I trusted you to put in the work for the money I paid! At the end of the day, I overpaid for this tattoo and that's because I chose a simple design - but it should have been perfect work for that cost. Once again, WHACK. Also, nobody wore a mask despite a government mandate for it either. WHACK WHACK WHACK. Good art doesn't make you good customer service people. I thought for sure a top rated spot with photorealism artists wouldn't mess up something so simple, but here I am, something permanently on my body that was just a payday for my artist. Basilica - Do better. And I'll do better researching studios next time, too. If anybody doubts my experience, look through the reviews for the hummingbird coverup tattoo that somebody has to live with for the rest of their life because the artist wanted $$ instead of admitting they weren't experienced in that type of design.
I could not be happier with the sleeve that I got from Luis! I went in for three sessions over the course of two months and each visit, he was on time, courteous and very professional. After each session, he would text me each day to check in on how the tattoo was healing. I really appreciate the customer service I received, not just from Luis, but also from Yesenia when I was first communicating back and forth about my idea and scheduling. The shop itself is super clean and I felt very comfortable there. All of the artists were creating incredible tattoos. I highly recommend this shop!
First time tattooer here! After months of research (Google, IG & Yelp), I stumbled upon Masu at Basilica Tattoo. Her style, line work and use of red really caught my eye. I reached out to the shop by eMail and was able to schedule an appointment. Everyone here is super talented, so I highly recommend 1-2...to even 3 months of advance scheduling. First off, the shop itself is absolutely stunning, it's like you're in a cathedral. Beautiful paintings hanging from the ceiling and the shop is very well designed. Masu was very kind, she has a calming presence about her. As you can imagine, I was very nervous, but she reassured me that everything was going to be fine. The design process took about 1.5 hours, my wife and I sketched a reference, but it was awesome to see Masu take what we had and really make it into something beautiful. I cannot stress enough how talented she is. Next, she sanitized and prepped her area and the next thing I know, we are getting started. The tattoo took about 5 hours, she even stayed late to finish it. I'm so grateful that she was the one to provide me with my first tattoo, I hope that I'll be able to get another one from her in the future. They use tagederm as their go-to method of healing/aftercare. My wrap fell off while sleeping (my fault, I slept on my arm ), but Yesenia was able to guide me through the other option of healing (Dial gold & Aquafor). I was told this is a cash only shop, so be prepared for that when you pay. Other than that, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Mahalo Masu!
Masu is INCREDIBLY talented. I've been looking for an artist for years and felt comfortable with her and her work. This so far is my largest piece and I'm so so happy with it. She took the time to sit with me to design it with me and draw it in front of me. And she's very down to earth and kind to talk to which I feel is important for the hours and time that I was there. It made the time go faster and made it more enjoyable. She also was very detail oriented, a perfectionist (which is exactly what I wanted), and she takes her time and doesn't rush and it shows in her work. Have plenty of more sessions to go but everything, from the shop presentation to Masu design of the tattoo went above my expectations.
I searched for the perfect artist to take a journey with for over a year. That might seem like a little too long for some but I needed to be sure I had the right person. I am not a tattoo collector looking to add to my plethora of various art pieces. I only have one medium size tattoo. This second one would be the most important and impactful tattoo I will ever get. It may even be my last. So it had to be perfect. It was going to be a memorial tattoo for my mother and it will be a full sleeve. After hours upon hours of researching artists not only for their talent but also for their personalities and character I found Gaijin from Basilica Tattoo. He did freehand designs inspired by the Japanese art form suminagashi (flowing ink) Not only did I love the look of his style but it was so fitting for the memorial since we are Japanese. When I explained what I had in mind he understood as if he saw my vision in his head. I trusted him so much that I changed from my original idea to pretty much giving him a few preferences and then just letting him run with it. On a large piece like this that I knew would take multiple days it was also important that I liked and felt comfortable with the artist. On the second day we did mostly painful areas like the elbow, elbow ditch, inner upper arm, near under arm etc. I am the type of person that will keep going til I pass out and not complain. Gaijin tapped me out for me. We had a couple of hours to go but he said we were done for the day. I looked at him confused and he said " you sat like a champ but your body was shaking, it's saying it's had enough ". He could have told me to take a break and run the clock (charges by the hour) but he did what was best for me. He also reminded me when it was time for my medicine and reminded me to drink water. He was as kind as he was talented. The studio is very nice as well. It is all black with lots of room between stations so you don't feel cramped. There are large paintings on the walls with ornate gold frames. When you are in the waiting room you can look at all their trophies from their various tattoo competitions. There are many other artists there that are amazing as well. There are quite a few well known artists that have a large social media following as well as a couple of artists that have been on the tv show Inked. Reception Manager Valerie is very nice and accommodating. Basilica is all around a five star establishment. read more

First time tattooer here! After months of research (Google, IG & Yelp), I stumbled upon Masu at Basilica Tattoo. Her style, line work and use of red really caught my eye. I reached out to the shop by eMail and was able to schedule an appointment. Everyone here is super talented, so I highly recommend 1-2...to even 3 months of advance scheduling. First off, the shop itself is absolutely stunning, it's like you're in a cathedral. Beautiful paintings hanging from the ceiling and the shop is very well designed. Masu was very kind, she has a calming presence about her. As you can imagine, I was very nervous, but she reassured me that everything was going to be fine.

The tattoo took about 5 hours, she even stayed late to finish it. I'm so grateful that she was the one to provide me with my first tattoo, I hope that I'll be able to get another one from her in the future. They use tagederm as their go-to method of healing/aftercare. My wrap fell off while sleeping (my fault, I slept on my arm ), but Yesenia was able to guide me through the other option of healing (Dial gold & Aquafor). I was told this is a cash only shop, so be prepared for that when you pay. Other than that, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Mahalo Masu! read more

I've been following Basilica for a while and finally decided to get a tattoo! On a whim, I texted them and sent my design, we discussed the sizing, placement, pricing and I had an my appointment within a week. My artist was Amanda, and she's AMAZING, I mean look at her work! She's very sweet, she goes over every detail with you, she's very accommodating, and takes care of her clients. Her work is impeccable, people don't believe my tattoo is real, the saturation, the line work, the shading, everything is perfect! She also speaks Spanish, if you prefer or a Spanish speaker! Please call Amanda, you won't regret it, find her on instagram @amandal.ink !!!! read more

Utah at Basilica Tattoo is hands down, the greatest Tattoo artist I have ever seen. I met Utah after my daughter had him do her Tattoo. He did an original goddess on her forearm, and to this day, it's the most beautiful Tattoo I have ever seen. I asked if he'd be willing to work on a few of my Tattoos; reworks and coverups. I have, unfortunately been to several tattoo artists, with very disappointing results. Each time I tried to have someone fix something it seemed to get worse and worse...Finally, Utah agreed to help me. After, reworking a faded Hibiscus on my shoulder, he went in to add another beautiful flower and is currently turning a cartoonishly bad Phoenix into a work of art, that makes me cry with joy every time I look at it (It's still a work in progress & he's not responsible for what's underneath, that was my own best thinking...Don't let the youth and face tattoos fool You, Utah is the best! He's quite, gentle with the needle, and ridiculously talented. read more

Basilic Tattoos will be my forever home for tattos. They have so many talented and professional artists. My artist was Lachy who is just a pleasure.i have read comments speaking ill of him and his work and lack of speaking English. I cant speak on anyones experience but as for mine Lachy does speak English and was very accommodating to my wants.He did such an amazing job on my Genesha. Thank you Lachy and Basilic for the safe and fun experience! Lachy I will see you in a few months. read more

There's no reason to charge double the cost for this. $600 for a simple band. The fact that a customer can't do anything about it and accept the loss for being taken advantage of is ridiculous. Not only that, he charged on top of being on his lunchbreak. read more

Vic is the goat. My husbands been following him since he worked at other tattoo shops. Now I recently got work done by him and it's amazing. I appreciate the time he takes to draw out what you want and make it flow nicely. Great attention to detail. I also appreciate the shop being majority Latino. Good to see us being represented Thanks Vic! read more

Hands up for this amazing tattoo artist, his artistic name is Lachy Tattoo. I want to thank you for the wonderful work you did on my leg, it took two sections but it was worth it every minute and every dollar I spent after seeing the result I can not say more that you are a great artist, very professional and dedicated in what you do. I've been getting tattoos for more than 20 years and I can say publicly that I was never as satisfied as I am today. I have taken 5 minutes of my time to let your future clients know that your work, your art and your talent are worth it. Thanks so much read more

Vic and his staff are amazing!!! Everyone is friendly and professional. Everything is sterile, and cleanliness seems to be a priority on their list. The shop is beautifully designed, and a piece of work in itself. My husband has been coming here for a memorial sleeve piece with Vic. His work and artistry is skillful, and he truly is a master at creating beautiful pieces. Definitely recommend!!! read more
