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.
Two of my friends were in town for a wedding and decided to get matching tattoos and asked for shop suggestions. Â I had suggested another shop but because of a misunderstanding, the 12noon appointment they thought they had at the other place ended up being cancelled and they could no longer accomodate my friends. Â The owner at the other place suggested Massive Tattoo.
I met my friends there--it was my first time even hearing about this place. Â Although I wasn't there to get a tattoo, by the end of my friends' sessions I was asking about other styles they do--I just might schedule an appointment for myself soon!
Valerie did the art on both of my friends and they were both very pleased. Â She was quick yet was able to provide them exactly what they wanted, especially on such short notice.
Massive Tattoo is very easy to find and is located in a business park with ample parking. Â The shop itself is very clean. Â I watched Valerie clean the area and pull all new supplies after my first friend's session was completed. Â My second friend wasn't quite sure if she had a latex allergy so Valerie didn't even hesitate and slapped on some non-latex gloves right away. Â She also asked later if my friend was allergic to adhesive. Â Kudos on that!
Valerie referred me to one of their artists, Josh, who I'll check out for a possible future piece!
I was in Vegas with a bunch of friends, all of us wanting to get tattoos. Well there's no end of options, but most of them seemed to fall into two categories. Either they just looked like total shit. Or they were inside casinos and super expensive.
The first place we went to ended up being inside a casino, which we didn't realize when we looked em up on Yelp. They wanted $300 for what should have been in the $80 range. We blew outta there.
Luckily we were referred to Massive Tattoo. It's not too far from the strip, but far enough to not be touristy at all. It's a totally legit and real shop.
They took good care of us. Their tattoo artists were friendly and professional and did a good job. They were also cool about letting us drink beer while we waited for our buddies to get tattoos. There's also a Roberto's, awesome Mexican joint, right around the corner.
When we got home, we realized that we'd lost a sweater. We called the shop to see if it was there, and it was, and they offered to mail it back to us in Brooklyn. And they did.
Can't say enough good things about this shop. If you are in Vegas and want to get a tattoo, this is the place to go.
I was in town for a weekend in Vegas when it finally hit me: NOW is the time to get that tattoo I've been talking about. Â Searching through the endless reviews of tattoo shops on Yelp is somewhat confusing, especially when finding the right one. Â I can't express enough how much I lucked out when I found Massive Tattoo. Â
To give you some background, this was my first tattoo EVER (and for many of your reading this, you're probably in the same situation). Â When I called, I set up some time with tattoo artist, Jeremy, for an appointment an hour later. Â Jeremy is so great to work with. Â He was friendly, patient, and gave me expert feedback on of some of the ideas I originally came up with. Â He walked me through the whole process and helped me make a confident decision in my artwork. Â In the end, we went with his own unique font style, which he drafted prior to the procedure. Â
When it came down to the moment of truth, all of the tools were carefully prepared and sterilized. Â I felt safe being in such a clean environment and having a friendly artist talk me through the process. Â
It turned out GREAT. Â I couldn't be more happy with the outcome and I will definitely return for another tattoo in the future. Â FYI, for all you UFC fans, this is where Gray Maynard got his tattoo. Â I HIGHLY recommend this palace for your next tattoo.
I love Massive Tattoo. Val was recommended to me by multiple people (my hair dresser, my friend and a couple of work people) and I had my first and only for now tattoo done by her! She helped me figure out what I was really wanting. Her pricing was very reasonable and I was very pleased with my art work. Her husband did one of my friend's tattoo (half a sleeve) and he did an awesome job! My friend is now going to go to Val to get her first tattoo done this month. Word of mouth and beautiful artwork definitely spreads like fire. Â I will be back if I ever decided to get another tattoo!
PS. The shop is very clean inside and inviting!
Finding this place is not so easy because it goes through many names and change it more than onces. I don't even know if Shawn N still work there. It is also known as Massive Tattoo Studio and Ratbrain Tattoo. I have no clue what to believe. Tattoos are a bit expensive from them and they go only by appointments.
