I have gotten a $10 tattoo a few years ago with these guys and its still perfect never had to get touch up or anything. I went back to them for another tattoo and was again happy with the results. The guy that did my tattoo has the most perfect lines! The tattoo that i got is an outline so the lines have to be perfect! Not even one mistake. People are scared of going to strip shops but in my opinion theyre probably the most experienced. The best tattoo Ive gotten so far! Prices are fair comparatively.
Artist, although friendly, was obviously rushing. I kind of felt like cattle being pushed through the branding iron line. He didnt listen to anything I said I wanted (Placement of the tattoo, which way i wanted it to face, no added effects). Then even after using all of the recommended products and caring for my new tattoo, it still healed with faded ink. Everytime my husband looks at it, he gets mad.
I stopped by on my vacation with my hubby for a navel piercing in February. It was daunting as the only piercings Ive had in life were done while an infant. But I was sat down, and we made small talk before he completed the piercing. It was quick. Less than 10-15 minutes between me being called, prepped, and stabbed. Im reviewing after successfully following my piercers orders. I love it!
DO NOT! 0/10 I mean look at this!!They had a promotion going on for $40 tattoos.I got this long time ago. I went to just see what options they had for $40. I picked a sand clock with a “Keep counting” quote and THIS IS WHAT THEY GAVE ME! I did not ask for the size to be this big. When I complained they had the nerve to say “you get what you pay for” like I’m not the one that asked for the price to be this!!! It was the promotion you guys advertised!! I would’ve paid more for some good art but they are the ones that said it would only be $40.. By the way the “manager” blocked me and my friend on Facebook after we kept demanding for a refund. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME HERE!
Came for the famous $10 tattoos. Walter was amazing, very clean, used new gloves, new needles, wiped everything down, and line work was amazing. There was a little wait, but what do you expect for such a popular attraction. He handled the rush of people amazingly. Will return 100%
They were super busy, the $10 tats were not amazing nor was the placement choices. The front desk lady was rude. We didnt waste our time. I suggest you go somewhere else. Remember you get what you pay for. We went somewhere else to get a great quality tattoos. Absolutely no regrets.
I was there for a small arm tattoo and a nose piercing, and my friend got 2 tattoos (1 on arm and 1 neck cover-up). I would recommend arriving early before they open. The line of customers can get long, quickly. The staff was very friendly. They work quickly and efficiently. Im definitely coming back for more soon...They did a great job!
I got two ear piercings! Very fast, no pain or anything! I would recommend this place 100% for quick earlobe piercings.
I think Koolsville is Kool.But no really, if you’re undecided about a tattoo, or maybe you decided and you just want to get SOMETHING or maybe you like flash art for the cheap. I would recommend to just go for it. I first went here at 16 years old for a $10 tattoo. I thought I was the COOLEST.Now 10 years later, I’ve had 6 tattoos from Koolsville and 20+ others from other shops/artists. I don’t have any complaints. Would I go here for a customized tattoo? Probably not. Would I go here for their small flash art that ranges from $10-40, definitely would.I’ve seen the complaints about not the best work or work ethic. These shops pretty much rely on tourists and walk-ins. They tattoo fast and efficiently. Always friendly but I’m not one for small talk and most of the artists aren’t either.Here’s a few photos of my $10/20 tattoos! Flower is 10 years old, smiley face is 2 weeks ago.
Been here a few times to get work done. Very clean and professional. But dont go on Fridays or holidays. There are slammed packed
I did enjoy the tattoo when I finally got it. We were told 2 - 3 hours which quickly became 4 1/2-5. I felt there was no real order and they bumped us to the back of the line for going next door for food. Experience would be better if they could call you when it’s your turn or if they could be more honest about the wait time, which can be hard with flash tattoos. Artist was friendly. Just wish we could’ve been called to come back because we were told if we left we could miss our tattoo and get bumped to back of the line
I had a great experience here! I went in to get my nose pierced today (a Friday afternoon) and there was no wait for piercings. There was I think about an hour to an hour and a half wait for tattoos. The girl that did my piercing was so nice, checked on me through each step and told me what she was doing. It was very comforting and I would highly recommend her for piercings. I dont think she told me her name, but she had blue hair.
It was a fun stop as our last activity while in Las Vegas. Cheap tattoos.but pricey piercings. The young front desk girl sucks though she has no customer service and couldnt even crack a smile, and she lost our place in line so four people went ahead of us. Obviously since its a cheap place there were lots of people there for flash tattoos.
Anthony was great. Did my three tattoos and was kind enough to touch up my previous tat. Really funny and conversational guy. Highly recommend him!
I went to the location on Main Street yesterday with my friend. We both got the $10 tattoos. Little to no wait time and it was very fast almost painless. Everything was clean and all new needles were used. The Line work seems pretty clean. Only downside was there are only certain areas of your body that they will tattoo for the 10
Very nice place, we got the $10 tattoos and they were great. Very nice staff, only issue is the seating arrangements are limited
I just left this shop with no refund which is understandable they do have it posted but if they arent going to allow refunds then they shouldnt force customers to pay upfront if they arent going to give an ACCURATE time estimate. We were told approximately 45min over 90 minutes ago. Its also understandable that they went a little over the time estimate. However after the 90 minutes waiting they said there were still four other people in front of me. I wouldnt have paid and wasted my time if I would have been told it would be closer to a 3 HOUR wait. As a tourist having to leave town the same day, I dont have time to waste waiting around for nothing! I guess you needed those $30 more then I Did!
I picked 2 tattoos and they are awesome Ill be back next Friday!
I got the deathly hallows tattoo for $10 and the guy who did it did very clean lines and was quick! Even though it was a small tattoo i love how it looks.
We go to Vegas every year but this year our first time getting the world famous 10 dollar tattoos. So cool. Im very impressed he busted out a lot of really well done small tattoos. We are now starting a tradition to get one every year.
I got three tattoos on the 20$ level and I understand they are flash tattoos how ever that artist didn’t care and was so heavy handed that all three tattoos blew out. Do not go here.
Dont waste your time! NO order whatsoever! Be prepared to wait hours in the hot sun while people walk in ahead of you. Seriously, you cant come up with a number system. Use a pencil and paper....COST $0. 6 of us in our party and we all walked away after 3 hours of waiting. PASS! THUMBS DOWN!
Long wait but worth it for a tattoo that lasts a lifetime. By the time we got in the chair the tattoos took 15 minutes and I got 2, as well as a nose piercing. Really good line work and the artist was very quick. I hope they update the $10-$30 tattoo selection bc I will be coming back![:
Ultimately, the artist was fast, the line work was clean, and the tattoo looked great! be warned: if you’re coming here because of the tiktok video then there are a few things to keep in mind. not only are you limited to a small selection of preselected tattoos on the wall, but also limited to preselected areas of the body. they will not compromise on this. the $10 tattoo you selected becomes $100 really fast. the customer service is severely lacking and the area of town was super sketchy. our artist took an hour break to “run an errand” as soon as we got there, and had a gun on his person the entire time. once in the chair the artist was very friendly and talented. i’d recommend this, just be aware. the 5 of us that got a tattoo to commemorate our trip are all very happy with the results.
We got the best service ever! It’s conveniently located in a fun spot to hang out and vibe then getting to leave with a cute tattoo!! Sam was amazing and made us feel welcomed!! Definitely going back!!
This was one of the worst experiences I had while getting a tattoo. I was in Vegas for the weekend and me and my friend decided we wanted to get tattoos why not it’s only $10. We get there the line is almost wrapped around the build. You can’t even speak to anyone because the line starts outside. We waited in line for a hour and a half for the manager to come out and say we are not excepting anyone else and their other shop is down the street they can serve us over there. He stated there was no one over there. So a group on 12 of us walked 8 mins down the street to have the manager at that location say they are not accepting anyone else as well and the other shop never communicated that to them. So we proceeded to go back to this original shop and told the owner what the other shop said. He said we had to get back in line which was basically the end of the line. So we go back to the line and then the manager comes out and say to us the last person they will accept was 2 people in front of us. Yes after running up and down Las Vegas blvrd. We couldn’t even get a tattoo. Also the tattoos they were doing were not worth it. You only can choose from a few images they have, if you customize it but it will be way more and the dime size tattoos I seen were not inspire to wait and get one. This place is definitely not recommended.
Loved the place really friendly people and everything is so clean
Love it cant remember his name but we loved our tattoos definitely recommend
They have a line out the door from open to close. Efficient staff. They do have restrictions for the promotional pricing tattoos, but are within reason. Not sure how unique work would be done.
On vacay, I went in to get a $10 tattoo. The clerk lost my place in line, and then the tattoo artist starts talking poorly about me right in front of me asking the front clerk where I was (the clerk said she would let me know when I was up). He had a bad attitude about doing the tattoo. He made me very uncomfortable. I just got up from the chair, asked the clerk if they would donate my $10 to someone else, and walked out. Im not that desperate for an outline tattoo. It was just something fun to do. I would not recommend getting anything here.P.S. The tattoos you can select from for $10 are quarter-sized stick figure outlines with no color. You can pay for their $20, $30, or $40 for larger versions of the stick figures with no color. You can also only get the tattoos on the lower part of the arm or the lower part of your leg (no hands or feet). If they say the wait is 1 hour, then plan on 2-3 hours. Im sure you can find better things to do with your time in Vegas.
Everything was great except the angry man with the bad tattoos lol he could have called with his complaint
Very knowledgeable and prices are very good. Drawback when you walk in to make appointment you have to stay in store. No leaving or loose your place.
Clean, professional and efficient! They were also pleasant! Dont forget to tip your artist!
Jessica was fast but she was shaking and hella rude and unprofessional didn’t give me instructions didn’t try to calm me down didn’t give me insight on anything I didn’t feel comfortable with her at all, another customer had to ensure me it was going to be ok. After it was done she just handed me a piece of paper and walked away. I was a bit dizzy and had to sit down she didn’t make sure I was ok at all. Than as I was leaving she was on the phone cussing someone out. Just don’t have her do your piercings frfr. I did ask for someone else but she was the only person there who did piercings and once you pay there no refunds and cash only 💕 stay safe and don’t see Jessica. Also my naval piercing came out bad, it’s slanted.
Very rude people. Tattoo was good, experience not so much.
Clean and the process was easy when we went there wasn’t a wait.
Owner Maury is great and professional! Tattoo artist was quick and the prices are reasonable. The $10-$40 tattoos are great!
You get what you pay for. Not bad for the price. Artist seemed rushed and didn’t really care about artistic placement. I purposefully “misplaced” my tat to see if he would suggest a different location or make any type of small talk related to the tat...nope. He is there to pop tats out, quickly and efficiently. Cash only. No public bathroom. A great way to get a first time tat. Pretty busy. Very quick service, took him not even 10mins to complete the tat. I would return and bring a friend.
The tattoo artist are super nice. Just the girl in the in front isnt to nice.
I went with a friend of mine on May 5th for $10 tattoos. We waited 2 hours in line and when it was finally our time went in picked out tattoos and paid. I dont know the mans name who tattooed me but he was an older Mexican man maybe in his 40s. He started off with giving me the feeling he didnt want to be there and did the tattoo on my ankle first. He qas heavy handed. He then moved on to my other tattoo which i wanted on my arm. It hurt significantly more than the tattoo right under it from months before. Tjat tattoo is now scarred and was way too deep. It was then my friends turn. She spoke to him in spanish when he asked her what she wanted. He responded with i can see you dont speak spanish right just talk to me in english. This really bothered us both. He then proceeded to start her tattoo while yelling at her to quit moving even though she was sitting still. He was annoyed when she asked him to fill in a line he had missed. Also he DID NOT change needles in between my friend and I. Very disappointed with Las Vegass best tattoo shop
This place made me addicted to tattoos. Affordable prices great artist and customer service! Bro u can get a $10 tattoo and walk out happy.
Got a nice lil $10 tattoo
Great customer service and fast tattoo artist
This place is cool but way too crowded and overly priced. If they know they are a busy place like this, they should expand and have enough seating or take people by appointment only so your not standing for hours.
It was hot funky crowded and not at all welcoming 😒I default bolted outta there within 25 seconds to my place DIVERSITY People complain about the price differences but truly you get what you pay for
Went in and they were being rude from the start. Wouldn’t take my wife’s state issued ID because it was paper. So tell me why she could get into the military with that ID but couldn’t get a tattoo? When I started getting my tattoo, then rudely told her to go sit back down at the front when she came back to watch for the 30 seconds it took them to tattoo me. 10/10 would not recommend.
Horrible service! They tell us to get in before 11pm and we do and they refuse to tattoo us, then want to make excuses. Spend your money on an artist that will appreciate the effort of you making it in time. These people dont keep their word
Came in with a few friends for Friday the 13th and was totally satisfied! The wait wasn’t terribly long (four of us tatted in < an hour and a half) and the line work is really excellent. I feel like small inconsistencies are part of the territory when it comes to Friday the 13th but mine looks flawless and my friends were happy with theirs too. Staff was very... direct, but that helped with the chaos and was totally understandable— we were one of the last ones in line and came at 10:45. I can’t speak to their more advanced work but Koolsville does great flash!
Hispanic male that did a piercing for me went straight from a tattoo to my piercing without changing gloves. He was in a video call the whole time. Didnt bother to greet me at all. He unpacked the tools and didnt sterilized. He made the markings and was ready to poke without my opinion. At this time his phone camera was facing me in the middle of his video call and I was very uncomfortable. Been going here for about 8yrs. Very disappointed. He also estimated a 30min wait that turned out to be about an hr.
Nipple piercings finally fast and not so painful. Thank u sir. The best 60 dollars ive spent in a while
First time for my first tattoo and it was awesome.
Fun experience and a forever memory of Vegas 😁
The lady that answered the phone was friendly and helpful. Unfortunately they didnt offer titanium nose rings.
Very nice staff. Long line due to the specials.
Very good place the workers are very respectful ✔🔥🔥🥳
Great place, love the experience 👍
Customer service was amazing friendly people
The part time host handled the crowd and people very well. We waited about an hour and 30 minutes. The $10,$20, $30 tattoos are from a book you CANT come In with your own. And can only be anywhere from the shoulder to wrist or the knee to ankle. I got a $10 tattoo and my husband got a $20 tat and paid $10 more for color.
The wait was about an hour long, but I was out in under 5 minut, but then again got a 20 tattoo
Best first tattoo experience.
Very profesional sanitary and i love those 10$ tattoos
Got the $10 tattoo that they advertised. Have a small selection, and can only be placed between wrist and shoulder or knee to ankle. But if youre looking to just scratch the itch of getting new ink, its a perfect place to start. Staff was pretty friendly too.
We love our new Tattoos thanks
After the wait in line it was a quick tattoo...
Fast good quality tattoos
Horrible experience as soon as we walked in, the rude tweaker woman with short blonde hair like a guy has the absolute worst attitude. Don’t come here if you want friendly service
Went on vacation to Vegas and heard about this place so I decided to get one of their $30 tattoos. I waited 2 hours and once it was my turn to get my tattoo I realized they reused their needles and they aren’t sanitary. Needless to say I still decided to go through with it and my tattoo got infected a couple days later. PLEASE don’t go here
Fast service good artist cheap priced
Love it hof in and out In 30 minutes
Very cheap piercings. They are fast and painless great tattoos as well
Its a good tattoo parlor! Good results and like the outcome.
The two ladies at the front desk very rude didnt welcome anybody we told her what we wanted she charged our card and then they tried to make it as small as possible the man tattoo artist did great work but the chicks at front need to learn customer service
Super fast... Done amazing... First tattoo
It was great and the artis was very friendly
Quick and to the point to get you in and out
Quick in and out banger
What $10/$20 tattoos? Say word? Yes this is true. You can still tap into your creative mind and have a specialty tattoo too. Also some of the best prices on piercing Ive seen. Nasal was $25 cheaper there than what I paid. Would it be weird if I became a $10/$20 tattoo junkie?
2 hours is too long to wait for a $10 tattoo
Rude manager, didn’t ask where I wanted my tattoo when I paid for my $10 tattoo and then was forced to pay an extra $40 because I wanted the tattoo behind my ear. Why not ask the customer about placement before charging ? Very rushed and unprofessional establishment.
Great place. Awesome prices for the level of detail they put into custom pieces. Definitely coming back.
My mother and I went to get my belly button pierced and after we both read the reviews we decided to go here. We couldn’t be more happier with the results and how fast and easy and painless it was. Walter is the guy who did the piercing and he answered the questions we had and made this experience amazing. We highly recommend !
2 and half hour wait for a 3 minute tattoo...you get what you pay for🙂
