I had my first tattoo done at Absolute Ink by Dan earlier this year on my honeymoon, and I have to say he was the coolest guy in the world and made me feel so relaxed. The tattoo took up most of my calf but took only 2 days to heal! everyone in the uk that I know with tatoo's were amazed at it!

DO NOT USE THIS SHOP!!!! I was visiting from Oklahoma and saw their great reviews on the internet. I consulted on 22 July and was told a deposit was needed to draw up the item. The consultation took about 10 mins and he didn't keep any of my samples. That should have been a warning but shame on me I gave the deposit. I went back for my scheduled appointment on 25 July and waited for 5 hours while the shop stayed closed. I went back for 3 days and the shop never opened. None of my phone calls ever returned. I had to fly back to Oklahoma on the 28th. I have no tat and he has my $60.

its sad to say, but this shop is no longer what it used to be. i have been getting tattooed there for the last year and a half with great results. i went in yesterday and the only one working there now is the owner. well, at least he told me he owned it. i asked where nick and gadget went to and he told me they moved. come to find out they now work down the street on the strip. he seemed mad that i didn't want him to tattoo me. the guy looked like a strung out tweaker. plus he was trying to charge me some outrageous prices. i just got a creepy feeling from the guy. i would recommend ANY shop but this one.

Hey its lunchbox,I'm no longer with hypnotic ink tattoos looking for a new spot! but will travel to you if you would like to get tattooed! thanks for all of your support! lunchbox 1-702-303-7713 is my contact #

i have spent half my life getting Tattoos. i went to absolute ink where i met Gadget. he was very nice and professional. within minutes he had my artwork drawn up. it was a very large flower piece on my back. he was quick and polite the entire time. i had to take a break half way threw and he bought me an orange juice from the store. i have waited for my tattoo to heal before posting. well, its been healed for a few weeks now. i don't know what to say. i love it. its my favorite tattoo. i would come to Vegas again just to be tattooed by him. THANK YOU GADGET!

Before visiting Absolute Ink Tattoo, we did a web search for tattoo shops in Vegas. We found Absolute Ink and read some positive reviews. We (my wife and I) visited the shop. We were met by Brian who made us feel completely welcome. He took my design, made some adjustments to make the most of what I was asking for. Then he created a design for my wife and gave her her 6th tattoo. He did an excellent job and I would recommend him to anybody.

Got my first tattoo while in Vegas. Did some research before hand, and found the excellent reviews of Absolute Ink. When I called them up, Brian took the time to find out what I was looking for, give me an idea of how long it would take, and when I would be coming in. The shop was excellent (very clean!!!), and Brian made me feel at ease through the whole thing. He even did some touch ups on my artwork that I brought in to make the tat look better! Definitely worth working with these guys!

Nick was my tattoo artist in late March '08 -- my tat turned out fantastic!!! I decided to get my nipples pierced after my tattoo. Nick explained proper care and was extremely professional!!! I felt at ease with him -- very friendly!

Had my first tattoo with Brian at Absolute Ink and I love it! He made me feel totally at ease and I'm really pleased with the result :) Would definitely go back if (more like when :P) I next go to Vegas! Thank youuuuu :) x x x

Went to Vegas on holiday and decided I was going to get my first tattoo on my 18th! Researched all the tattoo parlors in the area and Absolute Ink had the best reviews. Brian did my tattoo, exactly how I wanted, so pleased with it! I would definitely recomment Absolute Ink tattoos to anyone looking to get one. Professional but very easy going, made me feel at ease. :)

I got my second tattoo from Brian at Absolute Ink and I love it. Was in Vegas for vacation. Went online and read the reviews. Liked what I read so I called and spoke to Brian who set up the appt for me. Very nice and professional. I'd definitely go back!!

GADGET-DID MY FIRST TATTOO AT 41 AND I LOVE IT. WAS IN LAS VEGAS FROM NEW JERSEY. IT'S SOMETHING I ALWAYS WANTED BUT, LACK THE COURAGE TO GET. I'M VERY HAPPY WITH THE RESULTS.

small shop in a bad neighborhood BE CAREFUL

Lunchbox is AMAZING. I have 3 tats done by Lunchbox and I will NEVER get one from someone else. Coming from Washington state where anyone can tattoo ( no licenses required) you can really tell after checking out shops here and others in Vegas that Lunchbox takes pride in his work. Lunchbox has made each tattoo I choose the best he can. Lunchbox is great at making sure you are doing okay and talking about anything and everything to make you comfortable. I love each tattoo Lunchbox has done for me in a different way because each one is linked to a different conversation we had. He is a great artist with amazing talent. Don't wait to long to see him at Absolute Ink because I think with his talent he is going places.

For my 37th birthday my husband and I decided to go to Las Vegas our main mission being to get a tattoo.  My husband researched all the tattoo shops in las vegas (he researches everything) online and had found two places that had 5 out of 5 star ratings.  The first place being Absolute Ink Tattoo we went there and spoke with lunchbox my husband had a design already printed up on paper that he wanted I on the other hand knew what I wanted in my head but couldn't find it anywhere.  Lunchbox just happened to have exactly what I was looking for in his personal portfolio.  We decided we were going to come back the next day as we had friends also coming to town that were also looking at getting tattoo's.  We left and were on our way to the strip but decided to stop at the other tattoo place he found online just to see what it was like.  I knew before I even walked in the door that there was no way I was going to let any of the people at this shop touch me, the environment was extremely busy, disorganized and seemed like everyone was in such a hurry.  Since this was my first tattoo I wanted someone to do it that was not going to be rushed was going to take their time and most of all make me feel comfortable.  We ended up going back to Absolute Ink Tattoo that day and had them done.  Lunchbox made me feel comfortable, always asking how I was doing and did a FANTASTIC job on my new tattoo.  I love my tattoo so much I'm already planning on getting another and I will not go anywhere else.  If your looking for a clean professional shop that makes you fell comfortable this is the place for you and Lunchbox is the man to do it, I promise you will not be disappointed!!

It's April 19th 2007, and I was on a mission to get my first Tattoo at the age of 44. (I know, what took so long?) I wanted it done right the first time. You really dont get a second chance. I did my home work and I knew what I wanted. I just needed to match it with the right artist! Thats where LunchBox came in. I found him at Absolute Ink Tattoo, located at 1141 S. Las Vegas Blvd. We talked about my Crazy Dragon idea and It didn't take long before I knew he was the man for the job. LunchBox does more the Ink. LunchBox does custom artwork of all kinds, so when he asked if he could change the colors from what we had talked about, I said " Go for it, Youre the professional!" The whole experience of getting the tattoo was really cool. I checked out other tattoo shops on the Vegas strip and found that some tattoos shops are like Puppy mills, They just crank them out. Some places the artist didn't talk with the customers as they were worked on. LunchBox and I had a great time talking about the art of tattoos, Vegas, friends, other peoples tat's. Most other shops are not a value. Absolute Ink Tattoo has ton's of really great examples on the walls and in binders, but if you have an idea that your just stuck on and you have to have it then LunchBox will be more then happy to help you with that. LunchBox is health card Certified, utilizes autoclave sterilization and his work area is keep neat and clean! I've been told that after you get your tattoo that you can use Vaseline, A&D ointment, lip balm or even Windex as an after care product. Wrong! Dont listen to all the bad advice out there. If your going to have Ink done, then its worth doing right. You must listen to the artist, he's the professional. Its been about a week now and my tattoo is just the bomb. The colors are rich and sharp. Its better that I envisioned it. I would go as far as to say my tat was done in Hi Definition ink! So to rap up my review, I give LunchBox 5 out of 5 stars! and Absolute Ink Tattoo 5 out of 5 stars! Thanks for, "The Art Experience"! Don from california.

I drive from San Diego to have Johnny Pantera do my work. The guy is an amazing artist and a great guy. The Whoe staff is great to work with. Lunchbox has done two pieces for my wife, and she swears he is the best.

Absolute Ink Tattoo is a no-gimmick, proffessional establishment with artists who are both courteous and competent-- bottom line, this is a great place to get inked. I wanted to get a custom tattoo on my back to go along with others I already had. I spent over four weeks researching various tattoo parlors in the Vegas area. In particular, I was looking for places that were clean, utilized autoclave sterilization, and weren't merely out to 'make a quick buck.' My search led me to Dave at Absolute and he was able to put to paper my custom idea and he gave me a great tattoo. Many places exist in the Vegas area, which are able to tattoo-- Absolute is the only place I will ever get inked again. Super job fellas!

My husband and I both got our first tattoos from Christian at Absolute Ink. He was very professional and friendly and also very careful. We are going back in a couple of weeks for our 2nd tattoos.
