Massive Tattoo is the best Tattoo Studio in my book. I came here to get a cover up and it was the by far the best experience I've had at a tattoo shop. I was stupid some years ago and got my high school fling's name tattooed on my hip at a very sketchy tattoo shop in California. Luckily for me Val at Massive was able to do an amazing cover up and no one can even tell that I had anything else their. To anyone that wants a tattoo in Vegas go see Val and be sure to call her a few weeks in advance as her schedule does book up.
They keep the show really clean and will even make certain arrangements to come in earlier or later if you want more privacy. Being that my tattoo is on my hip and I had to be some what exposed I was very happy that we were able to do this when there was no one else really around.
There are many tattoo shops in Las Vegas, however this is on my list of top shops. I recently visited Josh Petty. He took the time prior to talk about what I wanted and placement. He offered suggestions to place it in an optimal position. Josh Petty is very easy to talk with and answered any questions. Very approachable which not all artists are this way. Josh Petty is well known for his black & grey work, along with his extensive portfolio of custom work.
When I arrived for my appt he had everything set to go. After confirming the placement and getting my approval we started. Along the way we paused for short breaks and I was completely happy with the progress. After we finished I was 100% satisfied. I knew when I saw his work on some friends that I was going to be happy so I wasn't worried but I was sincerely amazed at how well my tattoo looked. I've been getting tattooed for about 16 yrs now so I'm not new to this. I look forward to going back to see him again for future work.
As for the shop, Massive is a nice, clean shop. The artists there are friendly and all have a variety of great work. I would recommend the shop and visiting Josh especially for anyone interested in excellent black & grey or portrait work.
