I researched & visited about 15 tattoo shops in Las Vegas early 2013 for good ARTISTS - someone who could do portrait quality, not just someone who can tattoo. BY FAR, Bad Apple tattoo had the best artists. Willy did mine (flowers blowing in the wind with the petals morphing into butterflies). DJ did my fiancé's (his engagement ring on a necklace). Great artistry, photo quality detail & coloring. We've both received many compliments. Don't know if the guys are still there, but overall Bad Apple is top notch, great artists, decent prices, clean place, good vibe.
