Trip Ink Tattoo

Coob is AMAZING!!! Got a cover up done tonight and I couldn’t be more happy! He is very talented, professional and personable! I will be returning to see him! Highly recommend!

I went to Vegas on vacation for New Years & I was having so much fun that I thought «Hey I wanna tattoo» so I called & arranged to have a consultation. I’ve been wanting an hour glass tattoo for over a year now but procrastinated on getting it. The girl who helped me (amazing long blonde hair) was great she took time to look over idea online & even though she couldn’t do it on the spot like she wanted she took time to draw out my stencil & I put down a $ 20 deposit. I had an app with Cobb the next day! I showed up & he was ready! Great conversation, made me feel easy about it & although it wasn’t my first it was definitely my favorite of tattoo experiences because the workers were funny & outgoing. They even offered me a cinnamon bun LOL! Anywho when the tat was done I loved it! The price was so great! He did an ex excellent job & the luscious hair woman did an amazing job with my stencil so thank you to both of you (:

My friends and I were vacationing in LV and decided to get matching tattoos. We decided to visit this location based off the Unilocal reviews and we were not disappointed.

BEST SHOP EVER!!! Both Zoo and Trip were amazing. The shop was clean and the staff was very friendly. My brother and I both got tattoos. Zoo did my tattoo and he was very friendly and put me at ease since this was my first tattoo. The pain that I was expecting, since it was on my foot, was no where near what it actually was. He had a light touch and the pain was minimal. The tattoo came out amazingly and it looks like a butterfly actually landed on my foot!!! I am now three days post tattoo and it looks amazing, no swelling, no redness, no real pain what so ever. My brother had a large piece done on his shoulder and Trip was great as well and his tattoo looks great.

My best friend for over 20 years and I were looking to get our first tattoos together while we celebrated our birthdays in Vegas. Thankfully we ran into Alyssa, whom recommended Alex at Trip Ink.
I was pretty darn nervous and not sure what to expect when getting my first tattoo. Alex took his time and explained everything he was doing and was very patient. I was pleasantly surprised at how much it didn’t hurt, in fact, I was kinda falling asleep and so was my BFF, when it was her turn.
I’m already thinking of what I want next and how soon I can get out there. I don’t want anyone else’s work on my body. Thank you Alex… and hopefully I’ll see you again soon

Best artists in Vegas. Best Tattoo experience. Dedicated to the finest of work and the most hilarious stories to keep your mind off the needle.
Cannot rate these guys highly enough.
Just had the best time.
And left with a piece of art that was beyond my expectations.
If your looking for ink in Vegas.
You’d be a fool not to go to these blokes.
Professional and Creative is an understatement.

I wanted to get a cover up of an ex boyfriends initials I had gotten a few years back. I had really wanted to get a water color style tattoo and had always wanted a mushroom.
I went in and the front desk lady sent me over to Alex.
Not the friendliest person, but never the less I looked at his work and liked what I saw so I gave him a chance.
I am content with the work he did, but felt I was overcharged EXTREMELY. Especially because now that it’s healed, the tattoo that was suppose to be covered up is still very visible.
Not a place I would return to, but I just don’t think he was very skilled in the style I wanted. He even admitted to not loving the style while doing it.

I appreciated that Alex did his due diligence in dissuading us from getting tattooed on our hands because of the notoriously unreliable way it takes and holds ink but then made it happen anyway. (They look fantastic so far, by the way.)
They were easy to work with (though I imagine a little TOO laid back for some people’s taste) and they accommodated our last minute need to reschedule without any problems. Some people have mentioned that they thought the service was lacking but I found it to be a lot like working with friends. You’re probably not going to be coddled and fawned all over so if you expect a lot of «yes, sir» ass-​kissing, I’m going to say you should probably look elsewhere.
But if you prefer a chill team of highly skilled artists that actually give a shit about the work they’re about to do for you, this is the right place!

I was unimpressed with the service. I went in to discuss tattoo possibilities and was met with attitude and talk-​down-​ness… Oh and pretentiousness. I mean, it’s cool that you consider yourself a serious artist and whatnot, but come down off your ego a bit when interacting with potential new customers.
I’m not sure who I even talked to when I walked in but was met with the same put-​off attitude as I received when I called ahead. He never introduced himself to me and never offered to let me talk to someone more pleasant.
I dunno. I mean, whatever, reviews were good but the customer service is lacking. But hey, it’s Vegas man.

I haven’t been going to the particular shop for a longtime, I mainly use one guy here that actually came from another shop. The shop it’s self is really chill and laid back, good environment, great staff. I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone. Those first timers that are still iffy and nervous… these guys will make you feel comfortable and I promise they won’t let you leave until your satisfaction is fulfilled!

Jay Giordano did three tattoos of beautiful script on different areas of my body, in one sitting, and they are so perfect. He helped capture my love; my two son’s names and birthdays and a memorial quote for the daughter I lost during pregnancy. I would definitely recommend anyone and everyone to see him. He’s fantastic, and so hilarious, he made it entertaining and distracted me from being uncomfortable.

Trip Tattoo did an amazing job working with my friend to create a great tattoo that she was happy with. They were friendly, professional and the environment was clean and nice.

Can you say badass?!
I was referred by some friends of mine who get tattoos from Rick to fix up a tattoo that I got from a different artist that failed.
Rick is AMAZING. He freehanded my design on my old tattoo. He’s a master. He got all in his zone and you can tell he is a true artist. He made everything look fantastic. I went back for a second smaller tattoo with a friend, a simple tattoo I could of done anywhere, but I went back to this shop because the quality is there. You get what you pay for. My ink is still just as bold and as colorful as it was the day I got it.
I’m saving up right now to get some more tattoos there. All the artists here seem great and everyone is friendly!
At one point I even had two artists working on me at the same time! That’s some quality service if you ask me!
And of course, shout out to the shop assistant Lucas! He’s a rockstar too! I’ve been to a few shops with shop assistants that aren’t very friendly or welcoming and he is just great! A++ for here!

I went to this custom tattoo shop for my first tattoo. The artists were all great and very professional. They did excellent work on me and four of my friends. I highly recommend this shop, especially the artist Chris.

My sister and I have planned on getting matching tattoos for a while now. We were stopping in Las Vegas on our spring break road trip when we decided to to something spontaneous and thought, why not get that tattoo now? We searched around on Unilocal,and decided to give Trip Ink a call. The guy on the phone said that we’d have to make a $ 100 deposit, so we decided to do a walk-​in instead. Even though we were a walk-​in, they said to email them a design for a price quote! Awesome! They said it was going to be $ 150 for an hour session. Even better! We arrived around 8pm, an were seen immediately. Personally, I was tattooed by Black Beard (I don’t remember his name) but he was awesome! The staff was extremely, and overwhelmingly fantastic!
Bottom line, if I lived in Vegas, this would be my go-​to place. Don’t read anymore reviews, don’t search for any other places, GO HERE!
Seriously, what are you waiting for? GO!

Decided with some friends that we would get tattoos on Friday the 13^th, so after looking around online we found Trip Ink Tattoo. Never heard of them before so it would be our first visit there.
What I liked about Trip Ink Tattoo is that they weren’t like other tattoo parlors who gave you a limited choice. They actually encouraged us to look online and find small designs that we wanted if we weren’t happy with what they had out.
The tattoo artists are super chill and nice and the place is really clean with awesome artwork and really good music. Definitely coming back in November for another tat. All in all a really good experience!

I went today for the Friday the 13^th event. Samantha was my artist and she was awesome!!! She did great work and was very fun to work with! Cant wait to go back!

I Unilocaled so many places in Vegas and came across Trip Ink Tattoo. I AM IN LOVE. I was absolutely having a panic attack over this being my first tattoo and just visiting for the week, but Chris did such a great job. He captured exactly what I wanted for my Harry Potter theme. They not only do large custom jobs but even my little dainty one. And the customer service was amazing as well. Everyone was so friendly. My friend and I needed to catch a cab back to our hotel on the Strip and the wait time was going to be an hour so Chris actually offered to drive us back. 100% if I come back to Vegas I will be stopping in again!

My wife had always wanted a Tattoo which would properly express the love for and loss of her Mom and Brothers and the inspiration they are to her in her life moving forward every day. For years we had met shopped around for the right person to do this ultra important work and finally we met the master himself Rick Trip.
From the moment we walked in the door we knew this was the right shop and having the owner himself do her first Tattoo was very reassuring. Before we had committed to anything he spent over an hour in the super busy shop just talking to us and understanding the motivation for and meaning of the work he was hoping to do.
He made several sketches, did some online research, and then went on a «Trip» closing his eyes and breathing in and exhaling like in some trance visualizing what needed to be expressed. Since it was very late we set an appointment on his day off Sunday morning 10AM when we showed up early he was already there and had the final artwork ready to go and it was perfect.
Now drawing on paper and putting a Tattoo on a live human being are two very different things and of course my wife was a bit nervous but Rick talked her through it with a soothing demeanor and soon they were just talking like she was getting her nails done. She had no complaints about pain partially because she was relaxed and comfortable but also I think due to Rick’s smooth touch and top notch equipment.
In total it took a little over 5 hours and the result was just perfect. Perfectly conceptualized and positioned, clean line work, brilliant color, and some «Trip» shadowing made it look like the Tattoo was jumping off her arm. He talked her through care instructions and gave her a sheet as well.
Then it was my turn to play my part i.e. to pay the bill and I was absolutely shocked at how affordable it was. We had been quoted almost $ 1000 to do lesser quality work at other shops but here we got a masterpiece at half price.
Every day that goes by the Tattoo looks even better and she finds peace, inspiration, and happiness in what Rick created. We are so lucky and grateful to have found Trip Ink and most highly recommend that anyone wanting a personalized Tattoo contact Rick Trip you will not be disappointed,

Found this place after calling nearly every shop in LV while on vacation there– almost every place has a crazy high shop minimum ($ 200 anywhere on the strip). My girl and I just wanted little crowns behind our ears, so we weren’t about to pay that much.
Tripink quoted us a $ 60 minimum. Sold.
Then, I got nervous that maybe their minimum was low because they do a shoddy job. All my tattoos have been done by the same person, who does amazing work… I started to get cold feet. But it’s Vegas, right? So we went anyway.
Our tattoos came out beautifully, which is no small feat because being solid black and small, they ran a risk of looking like blobs. The small lines were straight and even. They did a great job and were generally nice and not elitist pricks. So, 5 stars for that.
I would just mention that the # on the website is wrong, and the ATM wasn’t working. So, still a couple hiccups to work out. I hope they do it, and stay open… I’d come back again.
