I am relatively new to Las Vegas so I found Studio 21 on this site. Based on the reviews, I knew I had to check it out. I went in last weekend to set up an appointment for today.
Immediately, I noticed that the shop was very clean and the woman at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. She checked the schedule and introduced me to Jason. I told him what I was looking for and right away, he had some great ideas. He showed me some of his work in his portfolio and I was very impressed. We discussed the particulars and set up a time for today to do the work.
I showed up about 10 minutes before my appointment and got my paperwork done. Jason was right on time, showed me his drawing and made the stencil. Although it wasn't my first tattoo, he explained the process and his equipment.
My previous experiences at other places seemed to drag on forever, even for a smaller piece. Jason got right to work and told me how he normally likes to work, not taking a lot of breaks as long as I didn't need one. He checked several times to see if I needed one. We paused for a bit while he got his colors ready. He went right back to work and all in all, it took a little under 3 hours.
I was extremely happy with how it turned out. I wasn't sure about the coloring before we started, so I told Jason that I trusted him with what he thought would look good. So glad I did. It ended up even better than I imagined. The final cost was a little higher than I was expecting, but it was worth every penny.
I will definitely be going back to see Jason in the future and I highly recommend Studio 21 Tattoo Gallery to anyone looking to get some great work done.
