Had a last minute appointment with Brandon today and I'm very happy with mine and my mothers results. My tattoo is on my neck and my mothers is on her wrist. Brandon was very professional and cordial with my mother and myself. He used a 5% lidocaine cream on my mom to make her experience more of a painless one. Highly recommend skeleton skin for tattoos!! Highly recommend Brandon for good quality work!!

Heather is a great artist and I will be returning to Skeleton Skin for all my future tattoos. The shop is extremely clean and Heather is a very professional artist. She designed my tattoo and made great recommendations to tweak it. Most artists will just do what you want and won't help you make it better. Skeleton Skin is the best shop in the area. Will always recommend to anyone interested in a tattoo!

My daughter made a last minute appointment for me with Josh for a really small tattoo. (She had gotten a beautiful memorial tattoo from him earlier this year and was very happy with his work.) Even though my tat was just a quick little thing, Josh could not have been more gracious and kind. He made time for me, treated me like I was such an important client, and never once made us feel rushed. He was funny and engaging and gave me exactly the tattoo that I wanted. Afterwards, he showed us around the shop and his mini-museum. We really enjoyed our visit and even though I live in SoCal, I have decided that all my future tattoos will be done by Josh in Carson, NV. He is worth the trip!

This place is one of the best shops I have been too. Everyone that works there is super friendly and all there work is amazing. I will continue to drive 2 hours for Trevor to do my tattoos. It's a very enjoyable experience when you go there to get a tattoo!

Went in for a special, gave them a simple, easy design I drew myself and they couldn't even do it without messing it up horribly. Now I'll have to see about getting it fixed or covered. Left a review on their Facebook and they were rude and hateful right after saying their top priority was customer happiness. They were insulting and crass and I had even tipped them before seeing how badly they messed it up. Color wasn't complete, lines were wobbly, errant changes were made to the design so it wasn't symmetrical, it was a characters face and he made her nose look like a pigs nose, couldn't even draw her lips right, there were overdrawn lines that were just left instead of doing something with them-and then they rub salt on the wound by being jerks about their shoddy work! Don't go here! Even their waiver form made me uneasy-it basically signs all your rights away-you could get an infection and die from their work and that paper releases them of liability-that should have been the red-flag that lead me to walk out, but my sister had come here so I gave them the benefit of the doubt-should have trusted my instincts. A waste of money and time and now what should have been a simple design will have to be corrected by someone more competent.

Heather and Josh are amazing artists. Heather did my first tattoo piece. My family was taking a trip to Lake Tahoe and I had messaged her telling about what I wanted. She set the appointment to work for me. She thought the tattoo would take only an hour so she quoted me $100. The tattoo actually took 3 1/2 hours so I was expecting to pay $350 ($100ph) but she honored her quote without me evening asking for her to. My mom went with me and she is against tattoos but after talking to Josh while I was being tattooed she started to think they were pretty cool . They are super nice people and fantastic artists. My tattoo healed perfect with no scaring or fading and didnt really hurt at all.

I love coming to see heather. She is a great tattoo artist and did a bangin job on my cover-up. I highly recommend her to everybody that I come in contact with in regards to tattooing. Heather will go above and beyond to make her client feel comfortable and I really appreciate that. She gets her work done and she is fast and accurate. She is my forever go to girl for any tattoos that I will get in the future.

This place suck! It was filthy which is scary in it's own. Worst of all is the piercer who did my piercing smelled AWFUL and he pierced the wrong place!!!!!! Dont ever walk into this place. All of the tattoos I saw in their portfolios were awful too. If I could do 0 stars, I would!
