what are they smokin?. first of all, i have NEVER written a review, good or bad about anything, or anyone in my life.

I waited almost 20 years to get my bad tattoo covered up with a better one.

the tattoo i had in mind was VERY simple,

yet Keiron the "pro" rushed right through it doing a very sloppy job.

uneven lines that dont line up, crooked numbers, dirty looking black.

i mean i know nothing about drawing, or tattoos but I had to point out to HIM areas he missed filling in!

He didnt take anymore than 2 mins discussing what i wanted, he just did a quick, sloppy trace on my arm then went to work.

in my stupidity i just trusted that he was such a pro, (from all the perfect reviews, and being that the tattoo i wanted was a very easy one), that he needed to be told next to nothing to get it perfect....WRONG!

i had to go back and have him "fix" it, thus turning what i wanted, into something that i just had to settle for...FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE!

when i went back he was acting so irritated when i was having him (try) to fix HIS MISTAKES!..like having him (try) to make crooked lines straight, or fill in color where there was none but should be.

and their website promises no "artist attitude"....WRONG!

artist attitude was the only thing they seemed to have down to a science, EVERY question i asked ("hey man what's that?") seemed like a problem for him to answer, and even then it was mumbled one word answers, and i barely asked any questions.

i've noticed during my several times in the shop him and the red head girl who works there, giving several other customers the "i'm superior" tude.

plus, he told me to call ahead if i was going to be late, so after i put in every effort to to show up on time he informs me "im running late, come back in two hours"..lol wow, i guess its not important for HIM to call the customers to let them know HE is going to be late.

I KNOW that SOMEONE could have done the tattoo i wanted perfectly.

bottom line...either Keiron is a total imbecile, or he had no respect for the tattoo i wanted.

Awesome work!. I gave Jim some ideas and he drew up a tattoo beyond what I was looking for. The price was very reasonable and the work was perfect! A fun place to have work done on you! I will be back for more!

Great Tattoo Shop with a Talented Owner/Artist.. I had done a lot of research on various tattoo shops in the Vegas area because I had been very nervous about getting my first tattoo. I decided upon Smoking Aces when I saw the shop, noted how clean and attractive it was - and after having spoken with Kieron, I felt more at ease, quickly.

I had a basic idea of my tattoo design - and Kieron worked with me to develop a design that I was really happy with. He has a very light hand, my tattoo (on my wrist) came out, beautifully. From design aspect to Kieron finishing the tattoo, entirely took less than 40 minutes - and Kieron was very kind and supportive with me throughout the process and was also very understanding that with that being my first tattoo I had been a little nervous.

The greatest compliment that I can give to Kieron is that I trusted him and enjoyed his work so much that, the following month, I took my son in for his first tattoo - which Kieron also did a splendid job with.

I highly recommend Kieron, his artistry and his shop.

Smoking Aces Tattoo. I recently went to the Smoking Aces tattoo shop and I needed some real difficult work to be done and I asked Kieron if he could do this job and he said that this is the type of work he loved to do .Before I went to this shop i researched many Tattoo Shops in Vegas by looking at there work and most of them couldn't do what I wanted .They all had there photos to see what there goods were but when I got Kierons shopon the net i could see right away this was the guy to do this work .Kieron finished my work and it was just beautiful that it fit into the rest of my work just perfect .I would also say that the shop was absolutely clean and all his equipment was spotless ,which you want .So if you need work that is perfect this is the place i would recommend.

best spot to hang out and get tatted. My buddy got tattooed at this shop and i thought the work was sweet. I called down there to make an appt and he drew it out before i got there and it was exactly what i wanted. The best part about the shop is that every one laughs has a good time and i got some awesome ink. I always stop in to say hey when im on that side of town.

Incredible Artistry, Great Service, Reasonable Prices. My wife and I recently got our 5th tattoos together. Our first from Kieron. First, we were only in town for a full day, and I gave him the wrong date. When we showed up, he rearranged his schedule to accommodate my mistake.

Secondly, in 10 minutes he'd conceived of, refined, and improved upon a tattoo design I've been kicking around for multiple years. His experience shows, and the Parrot on my shoulder is absolutely gorgeous.

My wife came in with less of an idea, and he helped her focus on what she wanted, combining her ideas with some designs she liked, and came up with a very personal 'Mommy' Tattoo.

I can't recommend Kieron enough. Professional, down to earth, incredibly talented. He was extremely responsive via email before we got to town. He charges by the piece, works fast, and does a great job. On top of that, he came in a fraction of the price for similar tattoos from people in the Chicago Area. So if you're going to be in Vegas, and want a tattoo, check out smoking aces. I can't imagine you'd be disappointed.
