Downtown Tattoo is the shop that feels the most like a tattoo shop — wood-floored, art-on-the-walls, traditional-leaning, in the Fremont East corridor east of the Fremont Street Experience. If you want a bold traditional piece that will read clearly from across a room, this is the room to get it in.
The style range is broader than the traditional-first aesthetic suggests — neo-traditional, Japanese, black and grey, script — but the shop's taste is unmistakable. It is a local favorite, and the tourist-to-local ratio here feels closer to 50/50 than anywhere on the Strip.
