    What is a Photorealism/ Realism tattoo?

    What is a Photorealism/ Realism tattoo?

    Photorealism and realism tattoos are like magic for your skin. Picture this: your favorite photo, transformed into a permanent masterpiece. Photorealism is basically tricking your eyes into thinking your tattoo is an actual photo. It's crazy detailed and super cool. Realism is like a step back, still super lifelike but with a touch more artistic freedom. So, how do you pick the perfect pic? Find something that speaks to your soul! Clear, high-res photos are key. Think about the size and placement too – big details need big space. Trust your artist's magic, and boom – you'll have a tattoo that’s head-turnin’ awesome! Check out some of the incredible photorealistic and realism tattoos we've created!

    From The Strip To My Skin

    From The Strip To My Skin

    Vegas is one of the top summer travel destinations in the world and most people go home with another shot glass to remember their trip, but that's not how YOU end a Vegas trip!  Vegas deserves to be remembered in the epic way you spent your time here… with some INK from Studio 21 Tattoo!


    Whether it's the iconic skyline, a nod to Lady Luck, or a crazy memory from a wild night on the Strip, our artists have done it all!  Choose from small and simple, where we have you in and out in less than an hour or commit to that large piece that takes multiple Vegas trips to complete.  (What a perfect excuse to book another trip!)  


    Here are a few of our favorite ones we have done:

     


    We always recommend pre booking before you head over so we can guarantee you get that new tattoo. But we know how some of the best tattoos are ones that weren't planned, so we always try to accommodate walk ins. 

    Vegas vacation tattoos serve as lifelong souvenirs.  Whether we see you once or you turn this into a Vegas tradition, let us help you create an unforgettable memory you can carry with you forever.

    AUSTIN TATTOO PORTFOLIO

    AUSTIN TATTOO PORTFOLIO

     

    Art's always been a family affair in Austins life. Painters, quilt makers, bakers – you name it, they've done it. It's no surprise Austin inherited the creative bug. With his parents cheering him on, his childhood was a constant exploration – from lost-in-the-zone drawing sessions to (believe it or not) winning model car design competitions against adults at age 12! This lifelong love affair with creation has taken him on a journey through everything from graffiti back in the 90s to crafting furniture and even leaving his artistic mark on some of the Strip's most iconic hotels.
    But Austin's passion goes beyond the canvas. Building a sense of community has always been important to him. He's a firm believer in the "rising tide lifts all boats" mentality. It's this spirit, combined with his love for tattooing, that led him to create Studio 21 – a space where creativity and community can connect. Safe to say, it's been a decision he hasn't regretted for a second.

    Austin's hourly rate is $200/hr for large pieces and a $200 minimum for booking. 

    Tattoos Gone Wild

    Tattoos Gone Wild

    Here at Studio 21, we've seen it all - from photorealistic portraits of a urinal (seriously, it happened) to a neon-colored skeleton flamingo. But with all this wildness comes a question: Is Vegas the ultimate tattoo destination, or a recipe for permanent regret?

    The answer, like most things in Vegas, is: it depends.

    Sure, the impulsive spirit of the city might lead to some questionable ink choices, but Vegas also attracts some of the world's most talented tattoo artists. These are the folks who can transform your drunken doodle napkin sketch into a masterpiece you won't regret.

    So, the next time in Vegas and the tattoo bug bites, remember:

    • Do your research: Don't just walk into the first shop with flashing neon. Studio 21 (shameless plug, we know) is a great place to start.
    • Plan ahead:  Bring some reference photos or ideas to discuss with your artist.
    • Listen to your artist: They're the pros! Trust their expertise when it comes to placement, design tweaks, ect.

    Vegas might be known for taking chances, but when it comes to tattoos, a little planning goes a long way. That way, your Vegas souvenir won't be a story you tell sheepishly, but a badge of honor you wear with pride (and maybe a cool story about how you got it).
