    May C.

    My experience with Katikat was concerning and, unfortunately, eye-opening. Before I went to her, we discussed my trust issues with getting tattoos done by other artists, and I decided to trust her on my own accord. Despite this, the studio had an average atmosphere, and the main issue was the tattoo itself, which honestly didn't meet expectations but what can I do it's already on my body and it led to serious complications during the healing process. My tattoo was inflamed for three days, right after I got it. I anticipated some pain, but I could barely move or sleep, considering it is on my hip, a central part of my body with significant motion. This discomfort was beyond what I expected. By the second day of healing, my condition worsened to the point where I felt like I was going into septic shock & it reeked so badly and oozing body fluids!! Concerned for my health, I made a visit to the hospital for urgent medical attention. Currently, the area where I got my tattoo is bruised. What was most concerning was that Katikat just sent me off without any aftercare instructions, suggesting that tattoos all come out the same no matter if you take care of them or not. Now I see this is blatantly incorrect and irresponsible. Given that I paid $700 for this experience bought her brunch & $77 tip...I expected meticulous care and clear communication. This isn't my first tattoo, but it's my biggest one yet. Although I hadn't given much thought to aftercare with my smaller tattoos, this experience has highlighted its critical importance, especially for larger pieces. I'm not one to really complain about these things, but this is a freaking tattoo! It's permanent!!! I could've hypothetically lost skin tissue. Unfortunately, Katikat's negligence in this area has caused me significant distress and additional costs. Moreover, I consulted with other professional tattoo artists who noted Katikat's neglect, further confirming my concerns. Overall, I'd caution others to ensure thorough communication and consideration before getting a tattoo here. Unfortunately, I don't think I will be going back there! :(

    great experience from the beginning to the end! kati was so kind, professional, and interactive. i came with two other friends (all three of us got tattoos) and it was super chill vibes. i love my tattoo so much, it matches perfectly to what i wanted. kati understood the assignmenttt! she made sure we were all comfortable throughout our time there and she gave us little cleaning kits and stickers to take home. definitely recommend working with her!

    First tattoo:)

    Kati is kind and very comforting, for those of you thinking about getting your first tattoo. Me and my wife got our wedding date and could not have been happier with our experience. Fine line is not easy to find, thank you!

    Cat was Amazing!!! She was very attentive to detail and made me feel at ease the whole time I was getting tattooed. She is easy to talk to made sure I was doing OK during the whole process. I will definitely be going to her again.

    I reached out to Revolt before coming to town. I described in great detail what I wanted. I was…read moreclear about 12 characters, the size and placement of the tattoo. 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.

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.

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.

    FRANK Oh. My. God…read more Where do I even begin with this absolute fever dream of an experience. I went to frank for a tattoo thinking I was about to embark on a meaningful, spiritual journey of self-expression. What I actually embarked on was a psychological thriller directed by someone who once saw a tattoo machine in a YouTube ad and said, "Yeah, I can do that." First of all, this man's studio looked like a storage unit that lost a custody battle. The "vibe" was somewhere between abandoned dentist office and haunted vape shop. There was a single folding chair that sounded like it was begging for mercy every time I breathed. Now let's talk about the tattoo. I actually had to take a lap around the studio because WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT'S ON MY BODY FOREVER AND IT'S PERFECT??? The lines are so clean they look AI-generated. The shading? So smooth it feels illegal. The placement? Spiritual. Cosmically aligned. If I stand at the right angle I'm pretty sure it unlocks inner peace. I keep catching myself staring at it like it's a new pet. I have shown it to strangers. I have adjusted my outfits to make sure it's visible. I moisturize it like it's royalty. If it asked me for rent, I would pay it. The pain? Worth it. The adrenaline? Elite. The emotional attachment? Concerning. This tattoo has changed my personality. I now say things like "yeah, my artist..." as if I've been part of an underground art collective for years. I have zero chill about it. If you make eye contact with me for longer than two seconds, I will show you. Five stars for talent. Five stars for making me question reality. I walked in mildly nervous and walked out feeling like I had just been branded by a mysterious but benevolent art deity. Would I go back? Absolutely. Would I understand him any better? Probably not. Do I care? Not even slightly. Anyway, 10/10. No notes. I would absolutely let this happen to me again.

    I walked in as a normal human being and left spiritually reconfigured, emotionally moisturized, and…read morepermanently superior in a slightly concerning way. All because of Frank. The line work? Cleaner than Charlie Sheen. The shading? Smoother than my ability to make responsible life choices. At one point I genuinely considered framing the stencil and starting a minimalist life devoted solely to admiring it. Not only did he absolutely demolish my expectations (in a good way, like i demolish Taco Bell after a breakup bender), but the vibes were immaculate. 10/10 would trust him with my skin, my secrets, and possibly the deed to my house. Book the appointment. Let him alter your molecular structure. You won't regret it.

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
