    Everyone was really nice and the price was not bad, but my husband and I were very disappointed with our matching tattoos. I wish I would have done more research. Doesn't look like the work of a professional tattoo artist. Looks like the works of a beginner and you're the guinea pig.

    Tattoos!

    We found Chris at Rockstar Tattoo online and glad we went. Chris was very friendly to work with and talk too. Even took a tattoo virgin and she got her first tattoo from Chris! THANK YOU CHRIS for the hospitality

    Thank you, Charlie!

    TL;DR: Charlie did my tattoo, and was completely wonderful. I don't believe in coincidence; I was supposed to get my tattoo from here, by this artist, and I don't regret it one bit. My grandma is not a fan of tattoos, and had nothing but good things to say. ---- On Sunday my grandmother and I visited Fremont street for our first ever trip to Vegas, and while walking around I found this little shop tucked away. It looked very simple and clean inside and I'd been wanting to find a convenient place to get a tattoo. My last walk-in experience at a shop local to me was terrible, so I was pretty apprehensive, and I wasn't sure what to expect from a shop in an area like Fremont. When I walked in, the person behind the desk acknowledged me and let me look around a bit. I asked a few questions about which tattoo artists were in and how they handle walk-ins. He said his name was Charlie, and his portfolio had been the one that i had looked at online before coming in. I asked about the flash on the wall, and he said they prefer custom over flash (understandably). I preferred custom too, but wasn't sure I could get something custom done quickly. I showed him a few photos and once I told him I wanted a more witchy vibe I could tell he was getting more enthusiastic as we were talking. I sent him my reference photo and he put his head down and started sketching. The design was simple, but needed just a little reworking to make it tattoo-friendly. We discussed options for placement and we chose my elbow, so we put the stencil on and tested the stretching/movement. He mentioned he thought maybe a little bit of color would make it stand out. I was in the shop for probably less than an hour, and I was so happy with how it came out I had to hug him. We were on the same page about the idea and he was able to add his own flare (pun intended) to make it just that much more special. He was respectful and enthusiastic, and considerate of placement and how the tattoo might age and stretch. We chatted the whole time and I was so relaxed there, which is something I haven't yet experienced in any shops I've been to (I've had good and friendly artists, but none so easy to chat with). The tattoo was more expensive than I had planned for this trip, but he was upfront about the price from the beginning and I don't think it was unreasonable with all things considered. He earned it, for sure. My grandmother mentioned afterwards what a "friendly and nice young man" he was, and that he did such a quick job. ---- I got a gluestick-style/twist-up container of Aquaphor at a Walgreens on the Strip, and have been applying it when it dries out. It's already healing nicely and looks great 2 days later. I love that it has sketch-lines and the color in the middle was such a nice touch. I already recommended Charlie to multiple people that asked about the design. I don't have a single bad thing to say about them - I would make a trip out just to have more work done here. I did forget to get his Instagram handle so hopefully he gets to read this review!

    Go somewhere else. Had to go get my tattoo fixed elsewhere. I wish I had done more research, however this was my first tattoo.

    My sister-in-law and I wanted small tattoos to commemorate our trip and called the shop last night to see if we could get in around 1pm. Javier could not have been more welcoming or accommodating. We arrived this afternoon and were greeted warmly by Charlie. Our time with Javier was brief but amazing. He's a great artist and a great guy. He knocked out both pieces and we couldn't be happier. Thanks to a Rockstar I wasn't expecting on this trip but we look forward to seeing again.

    My girlfriends and I came in for spur of moment matching tats. Louie and Steve were working and were the absolute best!! They were patient when we couldn't decide what to do and corrected every time when one of the girls wanted a change, hesitant and indecisive. They were funny, kind and were just freaking awesome- plus the work was perfect!!! I highly recommend them!

    Sad to say I'm disappointed in this place.. spur of the moment buzzed tattoos with my husband. (I mean we were in Vegas). Very pricey for the tiny tattoos, we spent 306 for 3 small finger tattoos. Initially I was SO happy with the tattoos I thought they were so cute and the ink looked so dark.. now after just over a week later most of the tattoos are super faded and missing chunks. Expected with finger tattoos over time..But I have other tattoos and know how to care for them. The service was great, that's why I'm giving 2 stars (editing to 1 star). Wouldn't go back 127 was A LOT for such small tattoos especially if they aren't going to last. Henna tattoos lasted longer than these real tattoos :(

    Bad bunny tattoo
    Brenda C.

    Went in because I wanted a bad bunny tattoo. I didn't catch the tattoo artist's name but it was super quick. He had a super light hand and was really cool. I love my tattoo

    The initials of a cousin who has passed.

    Was just looking around when I stopped by but I'm glad I did get something done. Charlie was great and a great person to talk to. Can't wait to go back for my next one. Keep on rocking!

    Shading on all numbers is really bad

    Staff was cool, clean work place. The owners work wasn't so good, crooked lines, didn't shade right. Tattoo was done on 7/25. Looks pretty bad. Going to have to pay someone else to fix it...

    My Awesome memorial by Javier at Rockstar Tattoo! Couldn't be happier!
    Shawn S.

    Got my first tattoo done by Javier. I put a lot of thought into it and did some research and ultimately landed here. The shop was nice and Javier was very accommodating. I picked him specifically because of the eyes in other pieces done by him and the eyes in my tattoo were very important to me. I honestly could not be happier with how it turned out! People are amazed by it lol...thank you Javier!

    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.

    *************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.

    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.

We found ourselves here the night before our flight, as I'm not one to trust a super cheap shop. Tony was amazing. I wanted to fit into the theme of north arrows but I didn't want to be literal as I already have a compass tattoo. I'm from Oregon and wanted a stalk of lavender and a bee. 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.
