Just got my tat from Robert! What a great guy!! Everyone there seemed really awesome! I can’t imagine going anywhere else to get a tattoo in Vegas. Thanks again!!! SO HAPPY!!!! Terrin E. – Facebook – 10/2/12

My son recommended Robert because my husband wanted my full body portrait on his forearm. After about 4 hours it was gorgeous and looked just like the picture, with so much dimension and detail that we were amazed.  He even got the tan lines showing and every strand of hair and eyelashes.  I am sure it will look wonderful for years to come.  If you want realistic portraits, Robert is the artist to do it.

This is the spot to go to if you want to get some ink done. The people are great and the work they do is just unbelievable!!! Makes me want to get more ink done. Matt G. – Yelp – 7/20/12

I spent five hours with Robert Pho (4 more to go). As expressed in other reviews, he is a true ARTIST. His work is amazing but the hospitality Skin Design extends is far above the average tattoo shop. Visit Skin Design’s website or FaceBook page for completed work. Better yet, visit the tattoo parlor for many more pictures. Vanessa S. – Yelp – 7/4/12

For anyone out there that wants true quality work this is the shop for you. The atmosphere is very relaxed and both Robert and Paco do very nice work. For those of you that are concerned with sanitation, here you dont need to be. Everything they use is ALWAYS brand new. Enough about the shop, because no matter where Robert tattoos is will come out amazing. I have had the experience of getting and removing a poorly done tattoo and that is a mistake I will never make again. Remember folks you get what you pay for so don’t be afraid to spend the money!!!!!! It’s welllll worth it!!!! A sleeve,hand, neck ,chest and thigh piece later and I would not change a thing on the art he decorated my body with. Thank you for the beautiful pieces Robert.

The black and gray master:) Kolleen F. – Yelp – 7/1/12

I got my first tattoo of my grand daughter on my left shoulder on June 5, 2012 by Robert Pho…It was incredible, My daughter in law , my son and my grand daughter loved it and said it was a great show of affection. My 3 yr old grand daughter immediately recognized it as her portrait.

Robert Pho is an ARTIST in the truest sense of the word

I would recommend anyone to utilize his talents. I will be getting other tattoos of my other grand children in the future, but ONLY from Robert Pho. John B. – Yelp – 6/22/12

Robert Pho is the man!  Would highly recommend this shop to anyone serious about some top quality skin art!

Thanks guys! Christopher M. – Yelp – 8/29/11

Got my portrait done by Robert Pho. What an awesome experience. I felt so at home and welcomed by Anthony, the reception person. I could not have had a better artist. My portrait of my daughter captured everything the picture had!!! It is amazing!!! Robert Pho and his staff at Skin Design tattoos are worth the wait and the money BEST EXPERIENCE EVER!! MElissa H. – Yelp – 8/26/11

I had been thinking about getting my first tattoo for years – I started doing my research at the beginning of 2011, by asking friends about their artists and even Googling artists in different States I frequent. When I saw Robert Pho’s work, my research was complete! Within days, I found him featured in “Bound by Ink”. Robert’s work is like nothing I have seen before – although I didn’t go to him for a portrait, the ones I did see look like photographs on skin.

I initially contacted Skin Design Tattoo via email, since I don’t live in Las Vegas – they were patient and eventually set me up for 6 months down the road, which was his first available appt. Last week, I went in to Robert’s shop to discuss my tattoo for September – gave him my ideas and we figured out that I would need two sessions for the size of the piece I wanted. To my surprise, Robert either stayed just for me or had a cancellation, because he told me we could start that evening, if I was so inclined – that way I wouldn’t have to make a third trip out!

I went in that evening (very nervous) to start my first tattoo – Robert Pho was professional and made me feel extremely comfortable. That evening, I left with the beginning’s of what will be the most beautiful piece that I could have imagined!

Robert Pho is worth the wait – make your appointment now! Gloria K. – Yelp – 8/1/11

Robert Pho is phenomenal. I got my tattoo two years ago; it has not lost a bit of the integrity or color. His work is amazing and I cannot speak more highly of him. He is truly professional and will work with you to produce a work of art that suits your desire.

I went in with 6 pictures for a consultation, told him what I liked about each one, and left the rest in his hands. The next time I went in he had drawn a masterpiece that I am proud to have on me.

I got a tattoo of the Chinese Goddess of compassion and mercy, Guan Yin, along my ribcage. The piece was large and elaborate to commemorate all the strong women in my life. It was not too long after my grandmother had passed away. It is something that I look upon from time to time and still am amazed.

It took seven and a half hours and two visits. Robert does not rush and places a great amount of emphasis on detail. I would recommend going to him for your tattoo, but make sure to call and schedule an appointment. It is not a walk in, get it inked half ass, and rush you out the door kind of place.

I will upload a picture later. David S. – Yelp – 1/28/11

I cannot speak more highly about Robert Pho @ Skn Design Tattoo.  The man is truly, THE best tattoo artist in Las Vgeas!  I’m currently working on a full backpiece from him and could not be more pleased with how it is coming along.  I will be back to see him once my backpiece is completed to start my other sleeve.  Once you go to him, you’ll never want another artist working on you

some advice…

1. make an appointment! dont even bother trying to do a walk in, he’s usually booked months in advance.  Put your deposit down, wait your turn patiently.  Trust me, it will be worth it

2. he is the artist, so let him create.  By all means, give him your ideas, feedback, thoughts and bring lots of reference material.  But give him a little creative freedom and watch the man do work.  9 times out of 10, he’ll come up with a tattoo design that will be better than anything you could’ve come up with! Gimp G. – Yelp – 2/12/11

This shop is unassuming. However, the work is proficient and approached with authority and attention to detail. When an artist is more concerned about small details about what’s going on your arm forever than you are, you are at the right place.  Robert Pho must be an ultimate master because his “apprentice” Paco is a Jedi. I’ve had work done by others but I’m going back to them. Customer for life.  And, they treat you like a customer. When you walk in the door they dont act like kids that might not let you in their secret club. And, even though they are great they charge you the going rate (thats the best part).

Unreal work from ( robert pho ) Vegas prize artist !!!
Do book time for a incredible piece!!! If you are looking for realistic and dont want to go to L.A … do call now~~~ Stretch S. – Yelp – 4/12/10

There is no words to describe the genius of Robert Pho. He is a true talent, mostly known from the bests.  He is humble and always nice. You can’t really imagine how good he is until you see his portraits or black and white pieces. He delivers the most amazing Black and White tattoos you will ever see in your life. I do not say that because he tattooed half of my body but every time I show it to people, it is mesmerizing. His talent is shown best on large pieces, using the contour and shapes of the parts of the body the tattoo is placed, and his eye and technique of contrast on black and white tattoos is frightening. Robert is not a cheap tattoo artist but like every real artist, he will dedicate fully to its art to deliver the most beautiful results. If you check his website you will see that a lot of his tattoos are three dimensional and you sometimes need to step back to fully see the big picture. He believes in constant movement, something flawless and effortless when he presents them. You have to be patient to see him though. He is booked usually 5 to 6 months in advance. He is not only the best tattoo artist in Vegas, but one of the best in the nation and abroad. Don’t mix him with Kat Von D and her friends. This guy surfs up in the clouds with Tom Renshaw or Robert Hernandez… Mickael D. – Yelp – 10/18/10

Friendly staff and great work
During a recent visit to LV, stopped in to shop for a tattoo. They were able to take me right away. Tattoo artist was friendly and helpful and did a nice job. This was my 5th tattoo and would recommend this place to anyone. Gman38 – Kudzu – 1/28/08

I was referred to Robert Pho at Skin Design Tattooos  by my friend Big Bad Onxx from http://KushTV.com and couldn’t be happier.  If you want custom work done, Robert Pho is your artist.  He’s usually booked months in advance so if you want to make an appointment, call him up AT LEAST 1 month before your planned date.  You can check out his work at http://www.skindesigntat… Bong E. – Yelp – 2/27/08

The Best Thing in Las Vegas you’ve never heard of!! It’s less than 2 miles from the strip! I can’t even BEGIN to tell you how amazing this shop is. Robert Pho is one of the classiest and most professional tattoo artists I have ever met, not to mention, one of the best black and white artists in the WORLD, Hands down. From the moment you walk in the door you are treated with respect. Comfortable waiting area, friendly staff, etc. Know what you want to get BEFORE you walk in the door and make sure you have a high resolution image, and Robert or one of his staff will leave you with a tattoo that will have people hovering over you saying: “Yoooo!! Where did you get that?!?!?” Easily one of the best shops in the U.S.A. Call at least 6 months ahead of time…THEY ARE ALWAYS BOOKED!! Which is a good thing. - Siily
