Came here for my first tattoo this week. My boyfriend and I were in Vegas and decided on matching tattoos (I know, sounds lame). I had no idea how to pick a place so we started here on Yelp. To be totally honest, we were drawn to Blue Buddha because of the name and decided to stick with them because of the reviews. Also we didn't want anything too touristy near the strip. Making an appointment was smooth, and our artist Josh got in contact with us right away about design. The shop had the perfect vibe for us - chill. I was pretty nervous, but tried not to show it. Josh was a total pro at keeping me in check - described what it would feel like and then kept me chatting to pass the time. We LOVE the matching Kokopellis he gave us and will definitely come back to Josh if ever we decide on new ink.
