Lucky Cat Tattoo

Jerry is the man! All my tatts by him are crisp, clean and look awesome. Jerry can take the idea of what you want your tatt to look like and elevate it 200%.don’t even bother going anywhere else Jerry is the best hands down

Jerry Thomas is an awesome artist. He is beyond professional. I have brought my sister and son here to. If you are looking for a seriously talented artist then come see Jerry. He has had to repair other work and I love what he has created for me.

Jerry did a koi on my calf to commemorate my associates degree, my favorite tattoo. My next will be an ambigram of my Son’s name. I have seen his cover up work which is what brought me to him. He does fast work and is light handed. It is also nice to know that he has a college degree in art.

Jerry does a great job. I have gotten two tattoos here. The most recent one a few weeks ago (pic posted). A nautical compass with the words «life is beautiful». Jerry did this tattoo for me and also filled in my «be not afraid» tattoo I got two years before at his shop. The new shop is closer to the strip. It’s small, clean, and nice inside. Everything is sterile. Clearly something important to look for at a tattoo shop. He is very reasonably priced too. Support local artists, don’t go to a shop on the strip!

This is tough: I got a tattoo from Jerry, and my sister got a tattoo from a different artist. Jerry gets 5 stars, the other guy gets 1 or 0.
Other guy: First, the guy never actually introduced himself to my sister. He spent the whole time doing her tattoo chatting with a friend and ignoring her. The design was sloppy, and details that she had asked for were completely missing. It was absolutely terrible.
Jerry: For my tattoo, Jerry was amazing. I had brought in some material, and he took it and made it his own. He was a fast worker, and the coloring he did was amazing! I found him to be friendly, and he really listened to what I wanted.
To be fair, Jerry did make time for us the next day to fix my sister’s tattoo, and the price for both was more than fair (perhaps in part because her experience was so bad).
I’d go back, but I’d only ever trust Jerry. I wish I could give his shop a better rating, but that other guy was really terrible.

Can I just say… I am a huge fan of Jerry Thomas! He and his wifey completed my wedding/​honeymoon in the best way ever!
He’s currently doing my husband’s sleeve and we decided to get wedding tattoos (since we married in Vegas) so Jerry did Lucky Cats for both of us, as well as worked on my dude’s sleeve.
I had sent some ideas to him prior to our visit. but I knew he would come up with the best custom piece for us, and I was right… the lucky cat he drew for us was PERFECT.
So, excitedly, I sat down to get tattooed first. He was playing my kind of tunes and having a nice conversation with me. Time passes… I’m done. I show my hubby and it’s his turn. Jerry rocked these out so fast and perfectly. He is so kind and such an amazing artist… I am honored to have a custom tattoo by him.
It healed very nicely and I am stoked to see what more comes from him for my hubby’s sleeve!
Btw. I really like that he uses natural and organic products and doesn’t use A&D like a lot of artists do.
Yay!

Since its so hard for you to comprehend, let me state again. I don’t think you’re art is horrible, its decent, beside the fact that it’s re-​used. I kept coming back for the ridiculously low prices and for what I thought was «custom work.» I am now working with another artist who’s going over what you tattooed on me and after the first session it looks a hundred times better. I may be paying a little more, but it looks a lot better and I’m not waiting 3 – 4 hours on that couch for my tattoo artist to even acknowledge me. Also let me verify that when you use the same picture, making it a different «color» doesn’t mean its customized. it means you’re using people like they’re some sort of coloring book with the same picture. Trust me I’ve seen many of your clients. IT’S THE SAME. Last thing, here’s a news flash… I understand that you have a family, but so do your clients. They have families to go home to too while you waste their time. and every time that I’ve booked an appointment, I have NEVER refused to wait a 4 week period. YOU CHOSE the times and I adjusted myself to YOUR schedule and you STILL couldn’t start on time. Even when clients are booked way ahead of schedule, you still find some way to jack it up and waste mine and everyone else’s time. I don’t want anything from you. No tattoos/​accommodations/​nothing. I’m just hoping you realize this is no way to treat your clients no matter how cheap your tattoos are. I regret sending my friends to you because they have gone through the same thing. and all they want to do is to have you finish their tattoo but you seem to flake all the time.

Adding a second review since I traveled to Vegas recently and was able to get my tattoo worked by Jerry in the parlor this time.
Jerry’s doing my whole right arm sleeve right now and it rocks so far. Planned an entire video game idea and he’s been fantastic with blending everything together and giving it life. I can’t wait to have my whole arm finished whenever we’re able to meet up in the future. Jerry’s an extremely relaxing artist to work with and he plays great music in the parlor too.

Jerry the owner is one of the best artists in town. He tattoos because he loves it not for the money. My tattoo was not rushed and he made it look great. Prices are very cheap, probably half of any other shop. My favorite place to get tattoos by far!

This place is on the eastside, and tucked away into a strip mall. It’s not a trendy, hi-​end spot… these guys are real artists doing real work.
Jerry, owner, has a calm, positive energy… and true artistic talent. His brag books are impressive (he’s got hundreds of custom fonts), and he apparently does Né-Yo’s body art. In his workspace, he’s got books on various world cultures and the history of symbols. I’m pretty sure he even had a copy of the Tibetan book of the Dead. He’s studied in Thailand, China & Japan, and mentioned that he’s been invited as a guest artist to shops in Japan and the UK. These guys know their craft and take it seriously.
I have to gripe because we had to wait 2 hours before even sitting down. But once in the chair, they were quick, efficient, and had gentle hands. I paid $ 70 for a nice touch-​up from his apprentice on a decade-​old tat. And I will be back next week. I explained to Jerry what I wanted for my next tat… he got it immediately. He’s designing it now and I know it will be stunning.
