My wife decided to get her first tattoo today while visiting Vegas. After doing some research, we decided to give Studio 21 a shot.
We got there right as they opened and were greeted with a very cool, laid back environment. They have a lot of sample artwork to check out and the artist she had, Josh, had a portfolio to check through as well.
Since this was her first tattoo, she was extremely nervous. Josh was great explaining everything to her before, during and after the work was done.
The rest of the staff was very cool as well.
My wife loves her new tattoo and can't stop staring at it.
One of our friends we were staying with had one of her older tattoos touched up and added to by Mike today as well. She loved the result. -

For my boyfriend's dad's birthday we went to Vegas! And the whole family decided to get Tattoos - since I was the only one who had tattoos, I was responsible for finding a good shop - for reviews and convenience to where we were staying, I chose Studio 21.
Courtney helped me make the reservations, she was super nice and informative. My only gripe was I think the pricing structure was misleading, but that could just be what she's been told to say.
Once we got there everyone was introduced to their "artist" and away everyone went to get tattooed. Nick, was hands down the best all around one there!!!!!!! He was SUPER informative, patient and all around very good at doing fine lines, quickly and clearly. Two of us went to Nick and they both love their tattoos and raved about Nick. The other two guys (brothers), not so much. The drawings were both simple - one was a standard deck of cards off their drawing list!!! While I appreciate that fact that drawings get more difficult the smaller they are - you gotta tell the client that!!! Anyway, both tattoos by the brothers are flawed - the deck of cards was about the size of a golfball (I was quoted $80 on the phone) cost $200 - REALLY?????? And my boyfriends which was fairly simple lines, was uneven - dramatically and cost $250!!!!!
My Girl, Ellie at FTW Tattoo in Oakland ROCKS, and would have charged WAY less for a WAY better tattoo.
Get yours fine lines down a bit better guys and you could ear another star!
Pros - Clean Tattoo shop, Friendly front of house gal, Nick the artist is the Bomb!!! (Nick, you may want to head up to the Bay Area with your personality and skills, you'd kill it!)
Cons - Way too expensive for what you get........even for Vegas! -

Decided to get some ink done at this location after reading some very good reviews about them on Yelp and since my artist moved out of town. The shop itself is clean and the staff is helpful. After reviewing each artist and their portforlieos it was clear that not a single artist had the same style- each was very different and unique, which meant, customers had a specific artist they could turn to depending on the style of work they wanted to have done.
I spoke with Phil about the type of work I wanted to have done, he provided input and even suggested I use another artist that might do a better job, but after working out the details, I felt he could do the job just right..
I was satisfied with the work but I think it was an easy piece to do. Phil was ok, really quiet most of the time, which made the two hour session a little boring. I liked my my old tattoo guy better though..
I would recommend this place to anyone but be aware that the prices are a bit high.. I'm sure if the quality is worth it though... -

Here I am, a middle-aged housewife from out of town looking to do something a little wild in Vegas. My husband and I had recently celebrated our thirty year wedding anniversary and I decided to make-good on the a threat I'd been entertaining for at least ten years to get a commemorative tattoo. The kanji of his Japanese family name. It was a simple little thing, but the artistic staff at Studio 21 took it very seriously. And they treated me very professionally. Certainly I could have been treated like a small trivial job, but Charlie, the owner worked patiently with my brother-in-law to get the design just right and then he inked me.
Yes, I'm the only one in my family with a tattoo. Yes, I am the first one of my friends to get a tattoo. But I certainly don't regret it. The staff at Studio 21 Tattoo Gallery made this a very positive experience for me. Will I get another tattoo? Nope. Would I recommend them to others? Absolutely! -
Review from Risa X.

Real quick update:
I flew to Japan in end of March of 2010. 13 hour flight. With a pretty fresh tattoo (the peacock on my center back.)
After getting all settled in over in the Land of the Rising Sun, I realized that I'd totally rubbed off certain pieces of it. Little tiny pieces but still, it looked imperfect.
Once I got back , I contacted Studio 21 and they let me know that my touch up would be free (which is the way it should be.) I called same day and they booked me with Captain Dave :)
I'm sad to say that I heard Captain Dave is no longer employed there! :(1 Previous Review: Show all »

Loved this place! Was in Vegas on a trip with my family, my dad and I wanted to get tattoos together. The staff is super friendly and the place smells a little like a clinic (which means clean, good smell for a tattoo shop). The sent up of the whole shop is really cool too.
We didn't have an appointment and they were able to fit is in within the hour. Holly was our artist and she rocked! I was getting one on my ribs and boy did it hurt! But she was soo gentle and patient. Thanks Holly!
We love our tattoos and our whole experience here was professional, fun and chill. They really made us feel comfortable. -

The owner has informed me Captain Dave no longer works at this establishment. He has e-mailed me twice to apologize and offer any touch up or fixing that I need next time I'm in town.
The five stars is for the owner's care and appreciation of the shop's client (me). I can see now why they're rated so highly. I will visit him next time I'm in town. Thanks.1 Previous Review: Show all »

I got my first tattoo here because I read some great reviews on here and also some of my friends recommended it. I called them and got an appointment in just the next day. My artist was Swarm. I wasn't too nervous but he definitely made me not nervous at all. He was very friendly and I made him sketch my piece over and over again... I felt so bad but hey a tattoo is forever so I have to make sure I love it. He didn't seem to have a problem with doing it over several times. Since it was my first tattoo, he thoroughly explained all of the steps to me, that was definitely appreciated. My tattoo took about 3 hours and during the whole time he talked to me and made me feel at ease. He seemed to really care about my piece, he even asked several of the other artists to check it and see if the lettering was ok and if it was centered. It was a good feeling to know that he actually cared. All of the other staff was really nice as well. The shop is really clean and it feels very professional. I really wanted to go back here to get my next tattoo but the only negative thing about Studio 21 is the prices are a bit high. I wish it wasn't so pricey because I would definitely go back to Swarm.
All in all, worth checking out and talk to the artists maybe you can get a reasonable deal. -

Business owners take note, this is how you do it!
As I wrote in my earlier review, the work at this custom shop is among the best in the valley. My earlier review of 3 stars was simply based on one artist's prices at the shop, and not the shop as a whole or the work they create. I received a message from Charlie, the owner today which made me feel really great about Studio 21, and confident in giving them the 5 stars they deserve.
Charlie took the time to apologize for what turned out to be one artist's pricing and policies, not those of the shop. The artist I first spoke with quoted me at a price that was not authorized by the shop. I imagine if I went through with getting my sleeve done there, Charlie would have caught the mistake, and given me the fair rate other artists at Studio 21 would offer.
Whether you're thinking about getting your first tattoo, or looking to add to your already inked canvas, check out Studio 21 for incredible work, a clean and welcoming shop, and unrivaled customer service.1 Previous Review: Show all »

Went here yesterday for a touch-up on my wrist tattoo that Jason did back in May. And did he ever touch it up! In fact, he pretty much redid the ENTIRE tattoo, and took my ideas very seriously and discussed with me what I wanted for round 2. It took us a bit just to get the exact right shade of yellow I wanted for the cupcake spider's frosting. Just like the first time, everything was very clean and he was very personable and we had a nice chat during the entire session.
Jason does great work and also takes great pride in his job and welcomes constructive criticism. He wants to make his customers happy but also wants them to leave with a beautiful piece they can treasure for the rest of their lives. He is an artist first and foremost and if that is what you're looking for (it should be what you're looking for since this is on you for life!) then come see him for sure. I don't think I've ever met another tattoo artist who seems genuinely dedicated and thankful that he gets to do what he loves every day.
The only criticism I have for the shop is with a comment the receptionist made to me. Jason was running about a half hour behind, and she told my boyfriend and I that we could either chill in the shop or "go and get a drink and come back." Even though this was a touch-up appointment, you should never tell your tattoo customers to go get a drink beforehand! Alcohol thins the blood and if it is your first time coming to the shop you're more likely to make a bad decision - that's why most artists, if they see that their clients are under the influence of anything will refuse to tattoo. She probably didn't mean anything by it but next time specifically say "non-alcoholic"! ;)
Overall this shop is amazing and I'm sure when I want more work done I will come back. And definitely hit up Jason for your work, he really is fantastic with his work and his customers.1 Previous Review: Show all »

Phil is an excellent listener, and was happy to modify my design until I was 100% pleased with it. He is very knowledgeable about tattoos, and happy to share his wisdom with me.
During the tattooing, he was calming and easy going. I felt very comfortable and respected during the entire process. -

Excellent experience overall.
The atmostphere is pleasant. The artists were are all very friendly and accomodating and I have to say it was a much more pleasant experience than I was expecting.
I did my research and was so happy with my results. I'm already planning my next trip there, once I figure out what I want.
They are a little on the expensive side, but I figure you get what you pay for. -

I don't think I'll ever get an ounce of ink on me, that's just my personal preference. Despite that, I've never stepped foot inside of a tattoo parlor as clean, nice and sanitized as Studio 21. It almost looked like a doctor's office with tons of cool artwork on the wall. I've been to some sketchy parlors in the city, especially those located towards the Downtown district. However, none of those could meet the bar that has been set by Studio 21.
While my girlfriend was the one who got the work done and I was just the innocent bystander who just sat there on his iPhone the entire time, I was just in awe by the level of customer service Studio 21 had to offer. Her artist, Jason, was legit as fuck. Very friendly, extremely nice and all-around personable. We all were engaged in conversation as he took care of my girlfriend's new wrist tattoo and did a touch-up of the tattoo on her foot. Jason takes his work seriously and does one hell of a job.
Everything came out to $140 excluding tip which I thought was great pricing, especially since I've seen friends pay more elsewhere for similar tattoos. If you're looking to get a tattoo, I'd only recommend Studio 21 and make sure you ask for Jason. -

After reading an article in the paper about Studio 21 I checked out their website. All the artists had impressive portfolios so I checked Yelp, and sure enough, nothing but good things were posted. I went down and said I wanted an artist to draw something for me so Jason came out. I told him what I was looking to get but had trouble with the actual vision of it. Jason said he'd draw something up and we set an appointment. When I got there for my appointment he showed me his design and it was exactly what I was looking for! He was very nice and made me feel comfortable. The shop was very clean (even the bathroom) and everyone was very friendly. I am extremely happy with my tattoo and when I'm ready for my next one, I won't go anywhere else. If your looking to get a tattoo, whether your 1st or 101st, this is the place to go!

Great shop!! Family owned and operated, very clean and friendly!! Open to your ideas not just there's!!! Swarm is a great artist that listened to me and made my tattoo real and exactly what I wanted and ultimately what I was looking for! He personally was very patient and tolerant and has an amazing portfolio!! No pressure sales and lots of portfolios to look in for ideas and reference!!

My friends and I were in Vegas for vacation from Chicago, and two of us wanted to get tattoos. My friend did her online research and chose Studio 21, so we booked appointments with Courtney. She gave us all the information we needed and was very pleasant.
We arrived about 20 minutes early, filled out our paperwork, talked to Jasen, our artist, and got our tattoos done. We were in and out quickly. No waiting. There were other customers there, too. Jasen was great. He's friendly and funny. He also let our two friends join us in his space. Originally he told me it would be $150 for my tattoo, but then knocked it down to $100 because it only took a few minutes to complete. That's always a nice surprise.
We were definitely happy with our experience. Last time I got a Vegas tattoo, I went to Diversity as a walk-in. My friend and I were not happy with their tattoos. Studio 21 is clean, well-decorated, and professional. I highly recommend them, even though you have to take a cab there because it's a ways off The Strip. -

Top-notch quality and integrity and a great atmosphere-- a model for how tattoo shops should be!
I have had dealings with this shop and am hugely impressed. Professionally, they are straightforward, no tricks, open about everything, are friendly and welcoming, and take great pride in their work. (They consistently get rated/reviewed very highly, and it's easy to see why.)
In terms of artwork, their artists are PHENOMENAL. Check out their portfolios (online) and it's easy to see that this crew is at the top of their game.
What really put it over the top for me, though, was the impeccable integrity that one of their artists had with me. I had made an appointment to get a rather unusual concept designed and tatooed; it would require a significant amount of drawing on the artist's part. He and I worked at it for a few hours, but it wasn't gelling... his style of illustration and my concept weren't totally in sync. They were close, but not quite matched.
Knowing that a tattoo is forever (duh), this artist suggested that I try another artist at Studio 21 whose style was a bit more in line with my concept, and he even offered to transfer the deposit. This artist said that he would rather do that than tattoo something that neither he nor I were 100% satisfied with going into it.
It seems to be obviously the right thing to do, but many artists out there wouldn't do this. They'd do it anyway if you were "reasonably happy with it." To me, this was phenomenal integrity as a tattoo artist, so even though he turned down my offer to pay him for the time he had spent drawing, I tipped him extremely well.
Aside from that, though, this shop really is top-notch. It is the most inviting tattoo shop I've ever been in; and if I could only pick one shop to ever get any more tattoos at, I'd choose Studio 21 in a heartbeat.
And the gallery stuff on the wall is AWESOME! -

I got my first tat at this place and plan to go back the next time I'm in Vegas. The shop is extremely clean compared to all of the shops I visited (even the big celebrity ones in the casinos and on the strip), and they offer "privacy"! Most of the trendy places on the strip have you out there on display to tourists while getting your ink, so it's nice to be able to go in a clean backroom and get tatted in peace!
Jason did my tat at Studio 21, and he was both a cool person and talented artist. I came in gave him my idea and he went right to work. Drew up a great looking scorpion from scratch and didn't flinch when I asked for a few large changes to the design. In the end I was very pleased with the end result, and get many compliments on the end result (even got them while it was scabbing during the healing process).
The price was reasonable and still cheaper than most places on the strip. In the end you get what you pay for and I had no problem paying a fair price for quality work (especially work that will be there for a lifetime).
If your in Vegas and need some ink, check this place out and ask for Jason!

Wowee this is an AWESOME tattoo shop. I was in Vegas for the weekend hanging out with some friends, and we decided to get tattoos so I went on yelp to search and came across Studio 21 and its great reviews.
The place is so neat looking, very clean and quite big with lots of different cool stations for each artist. Ray was our tattoo guy and he is AWESOME. Very very friendly, very professional and he did a perfect job on me and my friends' tats. Reasonablly priced too. Their minimum was $80 which is not bad.
I highly recommend this place if you're looking to get a tat in Vegas. GO TO RAY!! I love him. -

I have been planning to have another tattoo done months and months away so when I knew we were coming to vegas for a quick break, I did my research and decided to have it done at this studio.First impression of this place that it was hip and really clean. The decors and bright paint created an ambiance appropriate for the kind of service they provide.
My tattoo was $ 180 excluding tip.
Everyone knows what they are doing and are very experienced in their chosen artistic field.
I am very happy with the outcome of my ink .Would recommend to people who are interested in having their first tattoo done or would like to add more tattoos.
Keep up the good job! WOuld recommend this to all my friends!!!! -

Before we left Vegas, my step mom and I were set on getting tattoos. So, I searched on yelp for a good place for a tattoo on yelp, and Studio 21 came up.
This place did not disappoint. I called in on the last day I had in Vegas to see if the shop could schedule both my step mom and me in that same day, and luckily they had an artist(Phil) free all day.
As I sat down to get my first tattoo, I asked Phil to help me deal with the pain, and he calmly talked me through it, and within 25 min, I was done.
This shop is clean, tedious, and friendly. -

Mike Biggs did my tattoo, which is a half sleeve piece. It is probably going to be about 10 hours of work to complete it. Studio 21 is very professional and comfortable atmosphere for a tattoo. There was an elderly couple there getting their first tattoo when I was there, which was kind of cute. Go through the artist porfolios and pick someone who you think will best represent what you want done.

I was nervous about getting my 2nd tattoo because I wanted to go some place good and some place clean. I got a few word of mouth recommendations, but ultimately did my own research online. That is how I found Studio 21.
I walked in on a Saturday afternoon expecting I would need to make an appt and come back. They ended up being able to take me right then. I had an idea in mind, and tha artist, "J" made it come to life. His work was top notch and I would highly recommend seeing him for your ink!
The receptionist was pleasant, the place was clean and definately a step up from the places I had to choose from 15 years ago for my 1st one. The decor was cool....but most importantly "J', my artist, was warm and friendly. He made me feel relaxed and his work was stellar!
Highly recommend checking this place out for your tattoo and piercing needs! -

Studio 21 Tattoo Gallery is exactly what you should be looking for when you want to get ink work done. Clean, professional, honest ARTISTS work here. They take the time to go over your design ideas and give their own honest opinions as to how they think the design would best suit you as far as colouring, size, etc. so that you get the best tattoo for best longevity.
I found Studio 21 online and read a couple Yelp reviews--thanks, guys!--and contacted them via email to see if my friend and I could get appointments in that same day. I was contacted back within 30 minutes of the shop's opening and was able to make an appointment for both my friend and myself. Walk-ins are also welcome, but I would suggest making an appointment. There is an $80 minimum on all tattoos, which is standard at most shops. My piece is about 4"x3" and was very reasonably priced.
I was tattooed by Captain Dave, who had a no-nonsense approach to his work. As he began working on my piece, he got more friendly and put me at ease. I could not be more pleased with my piece, which is very detailed--a black and grey shade elephant on my shoulder. Dave surprised me by being expedient while maintaining highly intricate design details like the wrinkles and hairs--even on the elephant's trunk and tail.
Very, very impressed with the cleanliness, professionalism and quality of the ink work at Studio 21 Tattoo. If you're from Vegas or just visiting, I highly recommend this place for your tattoo needs! -

**I loved the shop - just had a not so great session with my artist**
So after reading all the reviews I was sold on this place to get my "Vegas tattoo" - I went in and they had space available that night... I went through a few ideas and decided on a cute heart with a music note inside - The artist was nice and professional - the studio was beautiful and clean... I was just a tad bit disappointed with the finished look of the tattoo after healing. I didn't feel that the heart was filled in enough and my only option to get a touch up would be to go back to Vegas (yes I know.. part of the decision to get a tattoo out of my local area). I just felt that it could have been better. The outlining was beautiful; It just bothered me that I expressed my concern about having my skin show through and he said it wouldn't... but it did. Live and Learn.... -

Got my first and only tattoo here.. Decided to get stars on the back of my neck. We didn't have an appointment on a Saturday. We walk-in and two people were available to take us.
Set-up: Very clean and nice tattoo studio
Artist: Charlie - the owner -- He was very nice, detailed and did very nice stars.
I love how this studio is family run. I would've gave 5stars.. if it was a bit cheaper. I paid 340 and that's not even including tip. My friends told me that I could've got it somewhere else cheaper..
But owells.. it is a done deal and I'm satisfied! Great job to this place. If you're in town.. definitely go here! -

My experience with Studio 21 was phenomenal from the first phone call I made to schedule my appointment to leaving the studio with my new (and first) tattoo!
Phil Luck was my artist, and I must say that I am the one who is lucky to have gotten him! He took my vague idea and crafted it into a reality that is better than anything I could have imagined! He was patient, outgoing and serious about his craft. He took time to answer my questions, took my suggestions in stride, and made me feel super comfortable!
The rest of the staff was awesome as well! Owners Charlie and Becki stopped by and asked about my tattoo! I felt like part of the family!
I will be returning to Studio 21 for my next tattoo! -

By Far...The most organized, well designed and professional tattoo studio in the country! The Spencer family has made it their life's passion to create a clean, well run comfortable environment to get a world-class tattoo done by the cities most elite tattoo artists.
They have exceeded community expectations and continue to better themselves every day with dedicated hard work and research to stay avant garde and delivering a memorable experience to you- the customer. Your Studio 21 experience goes way beyond the ink-work that is immortalized on your body- It is the positivity and friendship that penetrates your soul while in the company of such an attention to detail workshop such as this.
I have 6 works of art skillfully placed by the studio 21 team. From these great experiences, I seek not just a tattoo anymore- but a journey with the Family as they continue to tattoo themselves and their guests into greatness.
I highly recommend this way above the average tattoo studio to all. This is a family dedicated to not only today... but to a better tomorrow. So, rest assured. Your tattoo experience is only getting better- whether your first... or your 21st -

Very simply put.....THE BEST !!
Clean, friendly, reasonably priced......
I wouldn't even consider going to any other tattoo shop in Las Vegas (or anywhere else for that matter).
You will be 100% satisfied from the time you pick up the phone to make your appointment until you're out the door with your new tattoo.
5 stars just isn't enough for this place, THEY ROCK !!!!!!!!!!! -
Review from Florianne L.

Being that this was my first tattoo, it was important to me to find a place that was clean, reputable and affordable. So I turned to YELP, and this place came up, so I also checked out their website. This place was all that it said it was and more. The staff all seemed to be really helpful and friendly. I LOVE that is a family owned, and they actually work in the shop. I'm pretty sure it was the mom who helped me one night, the daughter was there the next night, then the mom again, and her husband I saw walking around...impressive.
I went in on a Tuesday night to just get a quote, and then was given the option to make an appointment or just walk in the next day. The price was VERY affordable. I have been quoted more for I wanted. And I was really impressed with the way the shop looked, exactly as their pictures posted on their website...CLEAN!!!
I returned Wednesday, and had my consult with Ray. He was able to draw up the stencil of what I wanted and give me my tattoo in all of about an hour. Again, this being my FIRST tattoo, I was already anxious and terrified not know what to expect (pain wise). Luckily, I had my husband there to hold my hand (or more like me squeeze his). Ray was alittle quiet but very good at letting me know that I was doing good. I would rather him concentrate on giving me a good tattoo then striking up a conversation. In the end, I was very satisfied with the end result. I initially went in for a small tattoo but on the advise of Ray, who I trusted to make the right decision to give me what I wanted, suggested to go alittle bigger so that over time my tat wouldn't be affected by distortion or in other words aging. And I'm happy to say that for the price I paid, it was definitely worth it.
I have raved to my family and friends about this place. And I have suggested that if they go to Vegas to go there. I think I may have some takers for you Studio 21!!! : ) Thanks Ray for a job well done! And to the owners, for taking pride in what you do. Your shop and staff truly shows how much you love what you all do.
I cant begin to tell you how happy I am to have found a place that lived up to all its hype. Thanks YELP! : )
Should I dare think about getting another tattoo, I will definitely return to Studio 21. -

i'm happy to say that i actually went here based on the copious positive reviews seen her on yelp! thanks yelpers!
it's been a long time since i got a tattoo, and when i did, it was a slightly seedy place somewhere on melrose. i was 18 and knew squat about tattoos.
when my sisters came to me awhile back with the proposition of getting tattoos at the same time, i jumped at it. months later, we went to studio 21.
honestly, if i hadn't heard the infectious buzz of the tattoo needle, i'd hardly have known it was even a tattoo shop. the decor was lush and tasteful, not trashy or overly vegasized. rooms were separate but still visible, providing ample privacy if needed. it was super clean, something that i think we're all looking for when we're willingly allowing a stranger to put ink into our arm. we had an appointment, but either way, all the staff, many of which were the family themselves, were super helpful, not intimidating and very knowledgeable.
ray was our guy, and he was sooooo patient. i really can't say enough about that. he waited while my sister spent half an hour mulling over tattoo placement, only to opt out on it all together. he was thorough, friendly, but not overly chatty, and professional.
if you're going to get a tattoo in vegas, spend the bucks to just go here. it's worth it. please. -

I got my tattoo here about 1.5 years ago. Jason did my tat, and he was amazing. I had called and discussed with the receptionist what I wanted for my tatt, and when I showed up, Jason showed me what he designed. The tatt came out better than I expected and also was much more elaborate and detailed than I expected. I was very happy with the service and the tatt. If I get another tatt, I'll fly to Vegas and have Jason work on me again.

I've never gotten a tattoo--and likely never will--but I got to visit this place last year to interview the family that owns it and, I must say, they were all cool and super talented. They are so passionate about what they do and dedicated to making sure customers get exactly what they want that I left there full of respect for the business. Plus, they are very focused on cleanliness and hygiene. So if you're thinking of getting a tattoo to permanently commemorate your Vegas trip, get it done here.

I read the reviews on yelp and looked at their website then quickly decided this is where I would get my tattoo. I made the appointment a while back for my visit to LV. I brought in my own design and the artist made it slightly different in a good way - was super quick, but still did a great job. Really fun interior and very friendly place. I would def. go back.
