I did my research and found Val who turned out to be a gem! I reached out to her based on client reviews as well as what I felt to be an artist who really cared based on her social media communication. Once we started talking I never felt hustled or pressured. Val was great communicating with me about her artistic process as well as asking for my input. During the session I was very comfortable and Val was very accommodating. Val's studio is very quite and private. For someone that hadn't been in the chair in my over 20 yrs I couldn't have asked for a better artist to bring me back into the inked life! Luv you Val!! read more

Flew in from California for a 3 hr appointment, yes I did fly in! I found Val on Instagram and loved her sparkly style that she said she could do. I showed her a photo of Buganvilla flowers and wanted it all down my right arm. She also fixed a poem tattoo that a local guy tattooed. Geez had missing letters. How in f$&k does someone not see that. I can't as it's my arm. So thank you Val. Her shop was super cute and comfortable. It was clean and she had me do all paperwork. Val was very down to earth. I liked the flowers but they weren't the style I wanted. I wanted to love them and I like them. The tattoo healed quickly with no issues. I'm not one to say something and to add to it I accidentally took her bathroom key home. I mailed it but it didn't get to her another issue on my part. read more

I'm going to say this, and I don't take this lightly, but Val is literally the best tattoo-er I've been to! To start, her place is a little complicated to find if you don't know what you're looking for. When you reach the building, use the elevator to the second floor and her space will be in part of a building that is a salon. The suite numbers are INSIDE of this bigger complex and hers is 206 in the back left of it. It is a tiny place in itself, but it's very cozy and the atmosphere is friendly! She has a variety of pictures of her wall, some of which were done by her, and they are very nice to look at. She has a minimum of 100$ shop price (unless she's running a monthly special), which is decent because of how she draws and colors your tattoo. Now that's where the fun part begins! You can tell her what you want. You can make it a vague idea and she'll ask you questions (boy or girl, what colors, cartoony or realistic), or you can come in with your own idea complete with details and she'll work her magic in her style! I wanted a penguin reading a book that was originally supposed black and grey. She said for the size I wanted, she does color for free which pleasantly surprised me. I let her have full creative control of colors because I knew she'd know what would look good. Onto actually tattooing, I noticed that she washed her hands several times, got clean needles, and gloves. She even used a face mask which I had never seen and thought was above and beyond professional. Just as everyone said she was very friendly, sweet and personable (and beautiful!) which made it comfortable to sit there for the hour or two that you'd be there for. She answers questions that you have and is very experienced. Val listened to me as I blabbed on and on about my entire life story, which, while it wasn't necessary, the fact she was listening and willing to listen made the experience better; she was also willing to talk about her own experiences which made me feel better about blabbing so much. Overall, I'd come back to her for more work. So talented, lovely, and kind! read more

Where do I even start? Val is amazing. I wish I would have found her sooner. Every time I walk in I feel so welcomed. She's family now. She's been able to take the million ideas I have in my head and patiently put them on paper and make it come to life. Every piece I've gotten is way more than I could have ever expected. I always want her to add her style to what I'm getting because it's so unique and it's always a great idea. Val you know I will be coming to you for everything going forward and recommending all of my friends to you as well. Thank you for everything you've done, and thank you for always making the nerves I have when I'm about to get a tattoo disappear. All in all. Follow Val on IG. See her amazing work and set up an appointment. :) read more

I got my first big tattoo on my arm done by Val. Now of course it being a big piece of art on such a visible part of my body I was very picky on choosing my artist. Val was incredible! She was able to capture all that I wanted out of a drawing my sister did. She was quick to answer my texts and any questions I had, also when I arrived her positive personality was infectious. We had a good conversation and the tattoo was finished before I knew it! If you're looking for a positive experience from start to finish I would suggest going with Val! read more

Val was wonderful - my kids wanted to get tattoos in their sister's memory - her twin brother and younger sister. I was nervous because my daughter was only 15 and wanted to make sure we knew someone who did great work. I am also a nurse so cleanliness was super important. Val's work was impressive and everyone has commented on my son's amazing tattoo. Very thankful for Val putting up with all of us and doing an amazing job can't wait to go back and get mine done. read more

My husband and I were getting our first tattoos and wanted to make sure the products used were vegan. Thankfully we found Val, and I'm so glad we did! She was very flexible with times and once we got to her studio she was really nice and made us feel very comfortable. She made sincere conversation with us while getting our tattoos and definitely made the experience more calming. In the end we both loved our tattoos and were so happy we found Val. Definitely coming back for our second tattoo! Thanks Val! read more

I've also remembered my Mom with a tribute tattoo with shamrocks and her signature!! I've had more done and a cover up.. She's simply the best and highly recommended!!! read more

The colors still vibrant and looking great! Thank you Val for all you're creativity, artwork and best ink I could ask for! Just purchased a TAP OUT session and happily paid my deposit! :-). Thank you so much. read more

BAD BUSINESS PRACTICES!!! My experience with Val was one of complete and total disappointment!!! I had lost my father and wanted to get artwork that was meaningful and honored his life. I set my appointment 3 months ahead and gave the required $100.00 deposit. She was very nice initially. One month later asked when I might receive the artwork as I wanted to "live with it" since I didn't have a specific design already in mind.... No response. Waited a few weeks and asked again about the timeline and was told that she was "busy" and thanked me for my patience. I immediately asked for at least a "general idea", no response regarding the timeline. I was told a process but never even a general time and again, how busy she was. In my experience a patron should never feel as though you are too busy to answer a simple question. Since she was being evasive and never gave an answer I felt the energy was wrong and asked to cancel my appointment and a refund. Once I canceled, she FINALLY gave the answer. She stated that she gives the artwork the "day prior" to the appointment. Then came the ANGER!!! She called me an "IRRITANT" and was "glad to be done with me" She also told me I was "LUCKY" she gave the deposit back! If simply asking a question is an "irritant" then she's got MUCH bigger issues. Once I received the deposit the name calling HAAAAAD to be addressed!!! I had never been unkind or unprofessional toward her. I simply didn't know her processes/procedures (which is why I ASKED in the first place) Had she given an explanation the first time I asked (months ago) I would have been satisfied and would have moved forward. This is NOT the way to do business! I found Val to be rude and extremely unprofessional! (I have all the lengthy text messages that substantiate the info given if needed). I would hate for anyone to have the experience I did. Las Vegas is filled with wonderful tattoo artists. I suggest you chose another, I did! IN RESPONSE .... Please show proof of so-called "violent or harassing" behavior! NEVER have I EVER been unkind to you even when you've called ME names (which was unwarranted). Your perception of "violent and harassing" behavior is unfounded, unjustified and baseless. Her response proves my point. Consumers beware!! read more

Val is the best! She is patient, professional, easy-going and all around one of my favorite people! She makes sitting for a tattoo easy and time flys. When you walk in, you feel welcomed and she makes you feel at ease. Her work is amazing, she's a true artist! I have finally found my go to artist, I will be going back for all my tattoos and telling everyone about her!! read more

I wanted to love and support Val, but after needing to go to the doctor for the tattoo she gave me (on the advice of a different tattoo artist), she refused to give my partner back her deposit for an appointment that is still a week in advance.

My husband and I came in here for some sweet Friday the 13th tattoos. We had noticed the shop a few nights before as we ate a few doors down. We loved our experience. Walking into the shop wasn't like any other tattoo shop. There was a ton of local art (my personal favorite decor) and upcycled materials. Val was amazing. She is friendly and helpful (especially for indecisive people like myself). She made us feel comfortable and was just a genuinely nice person. We will definitely be back for our bigger pieces. read more

AMAZING ARTIST! I first heard about Val on groupon and forgot to buy the deal. Kept her in mind for a fix up and was happy I did. She literally was a breath of fresh air compared to all the tattoo artists you will come in contact with in Las Vegas. Not to mention her great hourly price for the work she does. I feel like I went in to get my tattoo fixed up but when I left she gave me a whole new tattoo that I was 100 times more pleased with. Her atmosphere is so personal and intimate. One chair and one artist. We talked about everything and she is absolutely hysterical. I can't stop raving about her to all of my friends! read more

Several years ago, I was researching Vegas tattoo artists because my husband and I were taking a trip with a group of friends and we all wanted to get tattoos. When in Vegas.... :o) Happy to say that selecting Val from the pool of MANY talented artists there are to choose from in Vegas was a fantastic decision. We have paid her a visit every trip since, my husband and I have six of her beautiful works of art between us. We even trusted her to tattoo our two 18 year old's on our family vacay two years ago. She was creative in designing ALL of our pieces, patient in tweaking them just the way we wanted them, and we couldn't love any of the finished products any more. The icing on the cake is that she is so genuine and such a sweetheart to talk to, you won't even care when she hits those really painful spots during the process. We cannot wait for next summer when we bring our two, now, 21 year old's back to town to celebrate their birthdays and we fully intend on paying her a visit again! read more

My first baby, Quinn, was born about a month ago and I wanted to get a new tattoo in honor of her. I found Val on Yelp and checked out her website. I liked her art so I emailed her about setting up an appointment and she got back to me immediately. I explained what I wanted and we set an appointment for a week later. She requires a deposit to hold the appointment and draw up your design, which I think is appropriate. She even said it would be cool for me to bring the baby. When the day came, I was super excited. The design that she had created was almost exactly what I had imagined. She was super nice, pretty fast doing the tattoo, and made conversation the whole time. Her fee was really reasonable. I really liked Val and am super happy with my tattoo. I am going to make another appointment to have her touch up my other tattoo and maybe get some more! read more
