Review from Ramy L.
Las Vegas, NV

It was my birthday recently and I decided I wanted a tattoo. I had been thinking about it for a while so I asked all my friends where they got theirs. I also drove all over Vegas in order to get quotes and check out portfolios.
Not only did Bad Apple have some of the most talented artists, they also quoted me the best price for my tattoo. I had my tattoo done by Ez, who was recommended to me by a friend, and he gave me the best price compared to all the other tattoo parlors in town.
My tattoo is an solid black symbol on my left pec, so its pretty simple. Ez charged me $150, while other places quoted me from $220 all the way to $400!!! The other artists there are also friendly, and try to address you as soon as they can when they're not busy.
I highly recommend this place and Ez if you're looking to get a new tattoo. -

I have been coming to Bad Apple tattoos for about 4 years now and they give nothing but top notch, one of a kind tattoos.
The former owner, Boom, was my first artist and gave me my first tattoo (a backpiece). I can be nothing but satisfied with the work he's left, although unfinished.
My second artist, Ez, was Boom's apprentice and is also my cousin! Finishing my first tattoo with him, I have to say that he has become an amazing tattoo artist and holy hell am I impressed with the sleeve he finished on my arm. I think only photos can truly back my statements, so I'll be sure to post both artists work.
There is a variety of styles and artist that are here to make your tattoo dreams come true. So stop in, give them your ideas, pick an artist of your liking, and prepare to get your mind blown! -

Ive had 3 tats done at Bad Apple, 1 from Edd (he did a back piece, that literally covers my whole back) and it was great, still looks amazing 2 years later.
Just yesterday Willy did a piece in honor of my grandfather, although I came to him with a basic idea, he made it his own and it came out SICK. When he asked about color, I basicly said 'yes' and 'whatever you think'...totally trust the folks here.
Always good music playing overhead or in each artist's area, great drawings all over the shop...love this place, I constantly refer people here and will continue to do so! -

I've had two tattoos done by Jessy at Bad Apple, and she's amazing. I am pretty picky and exacting, and Jessy was cool with all of my planning, questions, and design changes. Jessy is a true artist, and you can tell in her tattoos. The details she includes are amazing! She also works very quickly, so the pain is over a lot faster than you would think!
The price was surprisingly low, and everyone in the shop was very friendly.
In regards to Shereen's review: Bad Apple no longer owns the location that did piercing. There is no piercing at the remaining location, which is on Charleston.Listed in: Beauty and Such

I went to Bad Apple back on August 29 2009 to get my first tattoo, a swallow in black and grey on my ribs. It was recommended to me by an old friend where the majority of his tattoos came from there. Two of my girlfriends joined me that day and DJ Tambe took great care of us. He does beautiful work, doesn't have too heavy of a hand, and I was done in less than 30 minutes. The shop has a laid back atmosphere and not too expensive at all.

Thank you to Jessy for a tattoo I have had a ton of compliments on!
I made an appointment but they also take walk ins.
Artists that weren't tattooing were sketching, painting, or drawing.
I got custom work done, she drew it up on my arm to get the right fit and I am looking forward to working with her in the future on the rest of it! I can tell her mind is brewing something up for me.
Check out their website for all of the artist's portfolios...every artist is there on the website so you can check out their work before you go.
The pricing is extremely reasonable for the quality of the work. -

Justin is THE BOMB!!! His art is great!
The tattoo shop is dope, the music is thumping and there's a strip club across the way. It's awesome.
Not to mention, they have awesome prices!Listed in: AWESOME TATS!!!!

I went into this place today with a nice drawing of exactly what I wanted. It was a 3 inch by 1 inch sketch of a garlic bulb. Super easy.
When the tattoo "artist" (who, mind you, was rocking an Obey tattoo like a walking clothing line advertisement) told me he didn't think it looked realistic enough and I should add cloves, I told him that the drawing was how I wanted it to be. Not wanting an artist working on a permanent piece on my body to be unconcerned with how it turned out I told him if he didn't want to do it, I didn't really want him to do it either. I assumed he could recommend another artist in the space (which was completely empty, with several artists mulling about doing nothing) who could do a nice rendering of the line drawing. He scoffed a bit, at my apparently lack of hip points and then turned around with a sassy school girl styled "fine" to abruptly end our conversation... despite knowing that one of the other girls with me was interested in a piece also. It seems like there were a lot of artist, and maybe this gross hipster was just too hungover to care, but he was so rude to us that I would never walk back into this place and don't recommend anyone else do the same.
After this I drove down to Lucky Cat Tattoo a few miles down the road. Jerry Thomas was very nice and did not make me feel like a shit head. -

So I just want to say how much I love this place!! I actually live in San Francisco, CA and Will wait for them to come to the tattoo expo here just to have my work done. Now I dont know if AARON is still with them or not but his work is by far the best I have ever had!! I am still amazed at the color mine has held and how many compliments I get on it. Justin also did alot of my friends work and was amazing as well.....I will wait time and time again for them

My friend and I were in Vegas on vacation and I had already emailed a couple of places for prices...they were all too high. So, we went out in search for a place off the strip. Bad Apple was great! Prices, service, efficency! Plus we had great conversation. I also found out they are affiliated with a shop where I live. We were able to make appointments 3 days in advance, and they were all ready fo us when we got there. I would recommend this place to anyone and it's not that far a drive from the strip. You can take your own car easily or a cab. Enjoy! Great work Jessy and Eddie! Hope this brings more people your way because you guys deserve it!

I agree, Justin is amazing & talented. He actually had his work cut out for him with a cover up I asked him to do about 4 years ago. My Mom passed away on October 10, 1995 & he made the most beautiful cross with a the sun setting in the background and the date 10-10-95 across it. To this day, the color is still absolutely beautiful & hope and pray Justin is still at the shop as I am ready for my next tat.
