NBA…… JAVALE MCGEE ,@stain tat2 ,got tatted by NES …..

First I’d like to say how friendly and open minded these tattoo artists are in here. These guys take their time to actually listen to you and make sure you’re getting what you want. I got my tattoo done by Virgil (I also posted a picture of his finished product on here) he is well experienced with years under his belt. I literally gave him my idea and he drew it within 30 minutes and came out just how I wanted it. His imagination is well beyond other tattoo artists I know and worth top professional paid money, so if you need something drawn out for a tattoo design you can surely go to him. I’d also like to say how great every other employee here, just like my tattoo artist they’re just as great and humble. As some maybe be getting their first tattoo, you can easily feel intimidated by walking into a tattoo shop especially if you’re completely blank about what you want to get. These guys here are willing to spit out some ideas and help get an idea to what you want and don’t worry about feeling uncomfortable and feeling out of place if it’s your first time getting a tattoo, these guys here will make you feel welcome and comfortable to making your first experience worth while.

Enough of all that, but a little background about this place, it just opened a few months ago so they’re pretty new to the spot (but they’re definitely not new to the business, they have another shop in Reno if I’m not mistaken, but you can check out their website above to be sure) these guys are true professionals and keep it professional by starting with the inside of the place. They keep it clean and very business presentable.

If you’re new to getting a tat I suggest you go around checking places till you feel comfortable with a certain artist and shop. If you’re in the area you most definitely need to check this place out, I promise you that you won’t be disappointed. Ask for Virgil he’s the first booth right across from where you enter, he will surely take care of you just let him know that J.R. sent you from yelp. They do walk-ins as well, but I suggest you schedule an appointment if you already have something done. If not, just walk on in and have a chat with a few of the artists to make sure you can feel comfortable with someone before you get your tattoo. Price-wise can vary and its like that for all shops depending on size, detail and others. So I can’t guarantee that you will pay cheap, yada, yada, but what I can guarantee is that what ever it is that you get, you surely will get your moneys worth because the artists here care more about how good their work turns out rather than how much the tattoo will cost. Like I said folks these guys are “PROFESSIONAL ARTISTS” not professional businessmen. So when you walk out of this tattoo parlor you will be nothing more than satisfied walking out of this place. All in all this place gets two thumbs up from customer service to tattoo shop appearance and great experienced tattoo artists. Keep up the good work guys!
