| - Ahh, one of my favorite stores.
The Jungle Zone is the token head shop in the Vegas area. Just about any and everything ~counterculture~ related can be found here. From smoking paraphernalia to a neverending selection of incense. From Hawaiian jewelry to North African home decor. Oh, and there's also a tattoo and piercing studio on site. A little over a year ago I got my left cartilage pierced here. It came at a cost of $30 and was executed quickly in a clean and sanitary facility. If I ever get any more piercings, this will definitely be the place. In addition to the fact that it's one of the two shops that I'm considering for getting my first tattoo.
It's always funny how, no matter how many times I walk in, the decor manages to freak me out a little bit every time. But once you get past the skeletal statues, the plastic bats hanging from the ceiling and the multiple displays of fossilized bug jewelry, one is welcomed to a cavalcade of oddities that reeks of years of burning incense. I have quite a few items of handcrafted neckalces and bracelets as well as crazy t-shirts from this place. And I could spend days browsing through their selection of incense, candles and other "alternative" air fresheners.
It can be a tad pricey, and I will say that there tends to be a high employment turnover, which leads to dealing with assholes or wackjobs behind the counter every now and then, but the thing about those assholes and wackjobs is I never seem to encounter them on more than one visit. Usually the people who work in here are pretty damn cool!
The Final Verdict
Pros:
The only real head shop in Vegas
Most of the people who work here are awesome
Good and reasonably priced body mod services
It sells pretty much...everything lol
Cons:
Can get pricey
The here today-gone tomorrow jerkies that can be encountered working here on occasion
Huh?:
Okay, who the hell is buying fossilized bug jewelry and keychains?
Return factor: 10/10. I just moved into a new place and need to do some decorating anyway.
