Your First Tattoo at Studio 21 Tattoo – A Fun + Friendly Guide

Getting your first tattoo is a big deal — and we’re stoked to be part of your journey! Whether you're a Las Vegas local or just visiting, Studio 21 Tattoo is here to make your first ink experience memorable, easy, and actually fun. Here’s everything you need to know to walk in like a rookie, and leave like a legend:

1. Think It, We'll Ink It ✨

• Gather your inspo! Screenshots, sketches, Pinterest boards, napkin doodles — we love it all.

• Do you want a custom piece or pick from flash? Flash = pre-drawn, quick ‘n fun. Custom = totally original to you and your liking.

• Not sure? We’ll help guide you through it during your consultation.

2. Choose Your Tattoo Artist 🎨

• Browse our artists here and find someone whose style speaks to you.

• Into traditional? Check out Erik. Obsessed with anime or color? Jake might be your guy.

• We’ve got artists for every vibe — from fine line to Japanese, to neo-traditional and beyond.

3. Let’s Chat – Your Consultation 💬

• Bring your ideas, inspo pics, and questions. You don’t need to be an artist — that’s our job.

• We'll walk you through placement, sizing, pricing, and prep. This is a judgment-free zone.

• Want changes to the design? Small tweaks happen day-of, but major edits might mean rescheduling. Remember to have faith and trust in your artist.

4. Prep Like a Pro ☕️🛏️

• Get a full night’s sleep, eat a meal, and hydrate.

• Wear comfy clothes (bonus points if they allow easy access to where you're getting tattooed).

• Bring snacks, headphones if thats your style, and a chill attitude. You got this.

5. Tattoo Day ✨

• Arrive 10–15 minutes early to fill out paperwork and meet your artist.

• Don’t bring your entourage — one support buddy max (space is limited).

• Stay relaxed, breathe, and let us do our thing.

• Need a break? Just say so. You’re not being difficult, Artists need to stretch too. 

6. Aftercare = Forevercare ✨🩸

• Your tattoo might be done, but the healing is just beginning!

• Follow your artist’s aftercare instructions to the letter.

• We recommend products like Saniderm, HustleButter, and or just a plain unscented lotion and antibacterial soap combo. We offer a few in store that you can grab on the way out.

• Need a touch-up? Ask your artist about our touch-up policy.

Bonus: Watch + Learn Before You Book 🎥

• Want a peek behind the curtain? Our YouTube channel has tattoo tips, flash drops, and old-school stories straight from the shop floor.

• Tune in, laugh a little, and subscribe right here so you don’t miss a thing.
