He's a great person, very comfortable to be with and spend time with, fun to chat with, and does the most amazing work.

DO NOT choose Joseph Barrios as your artist. The Shop seems awesome, as well as the other artists…read more But unfortunately - this is the only way I can warn customers of Joseph. He is terrible! If you ask him a question about the tattoo AT ALL - he will cancel it day of! We went in for a consult and discussed the tattoo. We put down our deposit. He told us that if we had questions or wanted changes the day of the tattoo we could do that. He put the stencil on and we told him we LOVED it - my husband asked a total of 2 questions about the shape and positioning he was planning for a couple areas. During the 2 question he asked, Joseph's only response was "you should let the artist be an artist" in a very rude tone. He then proceeded to cancel the entire tattoo saying we were "micromanging". I have MANY tattoos and have worked with many artists who gladly went over the tattoo and the design choice before starting with no issue. Joseph is not your artist if you like to collaborate, have an elaborate design, or even have a question about any aspect of the piece. Maybe Joseph has forgotten that this tattoo is going to be on his customer FOREVER. It was embarrassing and rude to just make us leave after showing nothing but respect to him and the shop. If he cant deal with a couple questions from a customer - he's in the wrong business. Hopefully this saves someone the headache of dealing with this unprofessional tattoo diva

Was in Vega$ this last week, celebrating a milestone birthday with family. My adult kids all have…read moremultiple tattoos. My daughter in law thought it would be cool for us to all get matching tattoos to commemorate my birthday and our trip. Almost everyone in our group was "in", including my 80 year old mom. I had never had a tattoo before so I had some anxiety. Smurf put me at ease and within 3 hours or so, we had all gotten our matching tattoos. He's an awesome guy and was so easy for us to work with in accomplishing the goal. My mom and I are even considering more tats but, if I do, I will want to go back to Smurf.

Smurf and Shy Boy were friendly, professional, and made us feel completely at ease. They took the time to walk us through everything and made sure our designs came out just right.

Classic Tattoo is an amazing place for getting your ink done. Whether it be your first tattoo or…read moreyour next tattoo I would highly recommend them for it. Everyone here has been very professional and transparent paired with an excellent quality in their work in my experience. The vibe of the shop alone is enough for me to recommend checking the place out. Whether you want something small or a big piece done they will take good care of you. The only way I wouldn't recommend this place is if you are the type of person who doesn't tip your tattoo artist because they knock it out of the park with every piece.

Well, Jason Paxman f'd up my whole life. Great. Finally got my first tat and it's been a nightmare…read more First, my leg fell off. Was that supposed to happen? I sewed it back on myself. Everywhere I go people are like "dude that tattoo is sick!" I've also heard, at least five times, "who did your line work? That guy has the steadiest hands ever." 100% true I've been told that, at LEAST that many times. Somebody said I was "lit" and started taking pictures. I'm not into leg selfies, but now I'm stuck here, having my leg fetishized by weirdos. Another tattoo artist said "that looks like it was printed on your leg. Amazing work." So, ef off, Paxman. Now I'm a celebrity and basically need to learn all of Latin to explain my leg to people. Prick. Great place, great artist. Fear not kids!

I could get another tattoo for that amount! So I'm at the gym (frustrated wanting my dam piercings) I decided to call this GEM for a quote! And man am I glad I did. First of all the woman who answered the phone sweet as hell, sounded like she gave a dam and wanted to help me! Throughout my life I've had my ears pierced probably 25x growing up. None of them stayed open (never at a tattoo shop tho, either at typical earring places or I bought a gun myself xD). I explained to her my concerns and she was very helpful. A bit after my workout I went straight there and the vibe was chill! I was quoted $200 for my 4 piercings here and it's totally worth it! Santiago did my piercings and he took his time, thank the lord. Because I need these to last. He ensured the station was clean and ready for use after helping a previous client. He kept apologizing for the wait but I really appreciated the cleanliness of him and the shop in general! Conversations with everyone was very meaningful! Not like "hey get your shit and get out" place. Santiago had rec instructions on how to keep them clean and sanitized because I need these to last me lmao everyone was amazing! Wish I took pics on the inside to post but I was too into the conversations! lol! Everyone was awesome! I'd definitely recommend coming here!

Worst experience of my life!! It has taken me a lot of time and courage to get over the trauma I…read moreexperienced at this shop. Please note, I am an artist myself and design things all the time for others... I just never ever expected for my worst fears to become a reality! A few weeks ago, I walked in asking for a whimsical & minimalistic tattoo, I signed the consent form and made my deposit; I left the next day with a permanent mistake! This was my first tattoo and I expected the best quality work and professionalism performed by any artist at this shop, since this shop is owned and operated by Cleen a top notch rated artist in the area. Plus they have very good word of mouth. Unfortunately, this was not the case for me. I left completely distraught and permanently scarred and traumatized for the rest of my life! Artist James Keller aka: @LVJamesTattoos needs to chose another profession!! This is not your calling in life sir. If you still believe you're a good artist, how about we take a vote and you post the pictures of the work you did on your social media pages!! This artist that I overpaid for a crappy tattoo deserves to be fired and never ever tattoo anyone else! He didn't even do what I asked, the final tattoo is not even close to the sketch he drew for me. He literally did things on my body that should be illegal to do to someone, especially when they're getting paid it's the clients first time getting a tattoo! To top it off, the artist yelled and got all up in my face like he was going to hit me, all while I was crying trying to figure out what happened and what went wrong! The artist also threatened me to call the cops, claiming he needs the money has bills and kids to feed!!! He claimed the shop gets 75% of the profit and that's why he was charging me so much money. I just couldn't wrap my head around the whole situation. James literally bounced out of the shop and left me alone the moment I said go ahead call the cops, let's see what happens! I believe he was operating equipment and working under the influence because he flipped out cruising at me and claiming it's my fault because I kept moving!! I was like, how is this my fault? I never moved, I never asked for shading, I should've of left and ran out the door the moment he treated me like scum. What I should've of done is waited for the cops to be called and let them settle the whole situation. Instead, I paid up and left. As for the shop, thank you to the artists that were there and consoled me while I cried profusely for 4hours+. Thank you to Cleen for responding to my texts and promising me to get this tattoo fixed. I have a redo scheduled with a different artist, I hope it gets fixed as promised. I'll leave a review again once I see how it turns out. Hopefully it's a 5-star for the next artist! For those of you wondering, this horrific experience (tattoo) cost me $320 and didn't last more than an hour! Which is not common practice around tatted world. I expected this artwork to last anywhere from 3-4hours! Picture #1: This is the sketch of how I expected my tattoo to look like. I asked the artist (James) to remove the umbrella (to me looks like a mushroom), clean up the waves make them look more like waves with hooks, clean up the pine trees, get rid of the lines coming out of the black circle, clean up the clouds on the beach side to make it look less like pine trees, and to add a small Aries constellation to the beach side.... he didn't do or listen to anything I had to say!!! You can see by looking at the next picture. Picture #2: finished look while in the shop. Picture #3: Healed tattoo, looking a lot worse than when I got it! For the record, I have taken care of it daily. I have washed and followed all the instructions given to me by the shop. Picture #4-5: is the artist James End result: It looks horrible, disgusting, I want to puke. Not what I imagined, paid for, or even had drawn up for me!!! It's not even a circle! ‍‍‍ Missed the mark completely on this one.

I've gotten endless compliments on my tattoo, and I'm absolutely obsessed with it. The quality, detail, and artistry are beyond anything I could have imagined.
