West Coast Tattoo Parlor

For a good time/tattoo, see Luke.
No, seriously, see Luke.
I finally decided to get my first tattoo at the age of 60.
I'm not ashamed to admit my fear of needles.
I went in to ask questions about the process and Luke answered them and assured me that my fears were valid and understandable.
Luke earned my trust immediately.
After he got dinner and drew the stencil it was tattoo time.
What an experience! Luke has an extremely light touch and always checked to see how I was doing. Getting my first ink was painless!
I went online to get aftercare instructions and 3 1/2 days later, the only proof I have of the tattoo is visual. Luke's job is so good that most folks don't believe it's real.
Luke, thank you for the amazing experience and if there's another tattoo in the future, the job is yours.
Sincerely,
Bob Sanders

This tattoo shop has to be the BEST shop in Vegas! All the artists are so friendly and very welcoming. It took me over a year to find the right artist to get my tattoo done. When I met Russ I knew I found my artist. He gave me great insight on my tattoo and we finalized the project. We are almost done and I am super excited to start the next piece!

I went to West Coast after following their artist's great social media presence. I felt most aligned with Julia for what I wanted, and boy did she deliver. I gave her an incredibly crude drawing of what I wanted and when I walked into the shop I was greeted immediately with an EXACT perfect drawing of what I had given her. The shop was comfortable, but empty when I went. When I came a few weeks later with a friend the shop was full of the other artists who I came to learn were also just as friendly and accommodating. Go to West Coast for your awesome tattoo needs!

Me and my wife were walk-ins on vacation for our anniversary. Bean hooked us up with some awesome tattoos. Everyone was so nice and welcoming. Great experience and we are loving our tattoos

I was in Las Vegas on vacation last week and me and my nephew decided to get our first tattoo while we were out there. After reading many reviews of multiple tattoo shops we decided to go with west coast as they seemed to have good feed back. We went in on a Thursday to speak with one of the artists as it was our first tattoo and we were not sure exactly what the process was. we explained to the artist that it was our first tattoo and we just wanted initials on our calves. The artist did a quick sketch of four letters and we decided that would work for us. we told him we didn't have time today but wanted to make an appointment for early morning on the following day. He advised us we would have to put a $40.00 deposit down for each of us to make the appointment. We decided that was fine a paid $80.00 for our deposit. late that evening we were notified of a family emergency which caused us to have to find the next flight back home the following morning. once we were at the airport i contacted the artist to let him know of my family emergency and that i would not be able to make the appointment i had set. I asked the artist due to the circumstances if we could be refunded our deposit to which he replied that was against company policy and that i would have to come back to vegas if i wanted to use the deposit towards a tattoo. I had been very excited to finally veture into my first tattoo, but very disappointed with having a family emergency and the shop was unwilling to return my deposit.

Yes! Another mission accomplished and crossed off from my bucket list— get tattooed in Vegas!
Been wanting to get a tat on my forearm for the longest time but never had a full concept in mind..but it came to me when I got here- a Hebrew script of "Faith" with the Cross as my foundation.
Found this high rated shop on the strip. The shop was clean and Colin, my artist, was very professional. He was patient to listen to my concept and deal with my pickiness Lol He gave me really helpful advices and took the time to make a draft design for me until I was satisfied.
His execution's clean and I felt confident that he knew what he was doing. Based on experience, you can not always trust an artist, but I'm glad Colin was someone you can Lol
The end result's awesome, the price was just right, and I love my new ink. If I'm getting another tattoo done, I know now where to go!

Joe absolutely crushed the few tattoos I wanted to get!! He made the words/descriptions I roughly gave him into a reality— all during a walk-in appt. He took his time to get my design as absolutely perfect as I wanted them to be. The shop is clean and lovely. Would highly recommend coming here for a walk in or appointment :)

Me and my husband walked into today while visiting Vegas because we wanted to get tattoos. We walked in and talked to Bean about what we were wanting. After a few minutes he had it drawn up. We love what he did and the price was great! Everyone was very friendly. This was a great find for us!

This was my first Tattoo, we contact the shop. Julia called us back and was very professional. I explained to her that I wanted to do Tattoo for in memory of my mom. Julia put the design together and made me feel comfortable since being my first. My Girlfriend also had Tattoo done in memory of her sister. Julie did Amazing job!

Man, where to start? One day I walked into West Coast with my close friend in 2011 to be of company for my friends session I happened to meet a fantastic artist (and now friend) named Russ Drake. I had just turned 18 and just graduated from high school and had been wanting to get my 1st tattoo done for a while but out of respect for my parents I had to wait lol. That was a very special day. It was a very spontaneous day and I know that walk-ins aren't always excepted but while my friend was getting tatted I was curious to see if someone was available. As soon as I met Russel he was so humbling and respectful. He was available and made my first experience extremely incredible! He has done all my work since 2011 and I absolutely love everything he has done. Russ is so down-to-earth and it's been a pleasure to get to know him after all these years. Although it was a spontaneous day, I wouldn't have wished any other artist to have tattooed me. He is so talented and I am admired by all the work I have on my body. They are all a reminder of who I am and why I do what I do. Over 5 years I have had all my pieces done by Russel. My first tattoo was on my right hip. Second piece was on my back and now we are finishing a full sleeve. He even added something special in my inner arm as a remembrance of my grandmother before our sess. By the end of this year we'll have a masterpiece. I'm stoked with my arm. It's a full musical piece. He knows how important music and singing is too me and he puts his heart into all of his work and clients. Just how i put my work into my music and writing. He is a phenomenal artist and great friend (basically an understatement). Thank you West Coast and thank you to Russ for always be loyal and so damn talented. What makes me most happy is that people notice his work. Yes, it's my body and my canvas but I get stopped because of how impressive he is and that's incredible to me that I am able to tell people about him and West Coast. I would absolutely recommend this parlor to anyone. They respect their clients and friends. Nathan, Collin, and Jake are also badass. Basically everyone there. I really can't be biased. Just depends on the style you're looking for and who you really connect with. I do have to say that Nathan has done a couple of my brothers tattoos and I love his work as well. He's a killer dude! Colin also has insane bold tattoos which are great :)
