  Went in a few days ago to get a tattoo while in Vegas,, have been wanting to do a technically advanced and detailed font piece of the last stanza to my favorite poem ever.. The Love Song Of J Alfred Prufrock.
  
  We have lingered in the chambers of the sea
  By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown
  Till human voices wake us, and we drown.
  
  I brought in a design, in a typewriter font with some splatter design around it.. like the old typewriters would make when hitting the paper.. the font was not huge but big enough to show the missing letter pieces and wobbly text style... vintage and grungy. Let me tell you not only is RUCK or KINGRUCK at Black Spade Tattoo in Las Vegas charming, personable, amiable, funny, clever and sweet he is also an AMAZING TATTOO artist!
  
  From the moment you walk in the door you feel welcomed.. no snide attitude or remarks.. no feeling weird.. he is just a beacon of warmth and hospitality. And when I said that I was thinking that I wanted to check out other artists.. he warmly said "Of course .. no problem.. you need to be sure.. I can understand that..." I knew at that moment this was my guy. I know because that is exactly what I tell my clients that want to look around... I tell this this because I am sure of my work and my talent and know that is it going to be difficult for them to find a better photographer. (i am a photographer, obviously) I put down my deposit at that moment and came in later that night. I'm very glad that he takes walk in... and sooooo honored to have gotten a tattoo by RUCK... FANTASTIC WORK!  I cannot be more elated!

  Went to get my second tattoo last night. Ruck was real personable and gave me a feel for what he's about. Runs a great shop and knows how to hire them. I came in 30 minutes before close and the artist Chris had no problem going into his 13th hour that day to pump out one clean tattoo for me. Couldn't believe how reasonable it was, either. Safe to say I'll be back and recommending this to all my friends. Thank you Black Spade

  My boyfriend and I were in Vegas for the weekend and decided we wanted to get matching tattoos. We looked around at a few shops and decided to go with Black Spade. Ruck, the owner and our artist, has a great shop. It's clean and has a great atmosphere. He took the sketch that my boyfriend had come up with and turned it into a work of art. We will definitely be coming back.

  I'm long overdue in posting this review! In November 2011,  My husband and I celebrated our new marriage and honeymooned in Vegas... and what a better way to begin our new life together with new tattoos :) I found this place through my friend who's a Vegas local.  She had only great thing to say about this shop.  My hubby never got a tat, I have a few. We decided to get his/hers tattoos; the "SF" Giants Logo. His was a lot bigger, mine is a smaller size.  Chris (Evo) was our artist. He was awesome..We also met Ruck, and another guy (I forgot his name, he was a Steelers fan).  All were good guys and easy to talk to.  
  It's been about 4 months since we got our tattoos and its still looking BOLD and AMAZING.
  Pricing wasn't bad at all neither; They really hooked us up!
  One fault I see tho is they didn't accept credit cards (in Nov 2011). Not sure if that has changed now.
  My hubby and I decided that whenever we're in LV we'll be sure to pay these guys a visit and add to our ink collection :)
  Thank you Black Spade Tattoo!

  Love love love Black Spade tattoo! Found them at a booth at Vegas StEATS. The work he does is awesome and he has the best prices in town!!  I got my tattoo done in full color and love it! I took my husband back a few days latter and got him one. We moved from KC a year and a half ago and finely found a tattoo shop we can go to!!! Highly recommended for all your tattoo's!!
