My husband and I went to Vegas on our anniversary and decided to get tattoos. We talked to the girl at the front desk, and yes she is very honest about what works and what doesn't. We worked with her and the artists, and both ended up with great tattoos. FYI, most tattoo artists have certain styles that are their specialty. I was assigned to one artist, but after looking at his portfolio, I chose to work with someone else. For that kind of money, and because it's permanent, you should get what you want. Everyone at LV was great about it, and their customer service was outstanding. Even though they are all supposed to know all styles, check pictures of their work if you are partial to a certain style of tattoo. Their books are by the front desk. We both left LV Tattoo very happy... recommend it, and plan to go back.
