Get Inked at Huntington Ink Inside The Palms


Waking up after a long whiskey-fueled night only to discover that at some point during your rampage you decided to get inked is about as cliched as waking up with a hangover only to discover you got hitched in Vegas. But at Huntington Ink at The Palms you can do both. Well, the tattoo part can be done here. You'll still have to hit up a nearby wedding chapel for the marriage thing.

Huntington Ink just opened at the start of the month on the first floor of the casino in the original Palms tower. Actually, this tattoo shop was always there, just under a different name--Hart and Huntington Tattoo Company. That shop, co-owned by Pink's ex-husband/new boyfriend Carey Hart, has now set up shop at the Hard Rock Hotel (And yes, there seems to be bad blood between the two tattoo houses.)

But John Huntington, the shop's owner as well as the co-producer and star of the A&E show, "Ink'd" has given Huntington Ink a new Asian-inspired look and getting a tattoo here is only half of the experience.

The newly designed lounge will feature a palette of gold and orange and dramatic lighting, along with water features and ornate staircases. Guests can view the tattoo artists’ flash and previous work on an interactive wall of touch screen units. Huntington will also incorporate a tattoo stage and state-of-the-art sound system for guest DJs and the nightclub guru’s friends.

There's also lots of merchandise for sale if you're squeamish about getting inked. The tattoo shop is open from 9am to midnight during the week and from 9am to 4am from Thursday through Saturday.

Not staying at the Palms? There are other tattoo shops near the Strip such as Hart and Huntington at the Hard Rock, Starlight Tattoo at House of Blues inside Mandalay Bay and Vince Neil Ink adjacent to O'Sheas casino. For those seeking something less permanent, there is a Henna Tattoos shop in Planet Hollywood's Miracle Mile. Via: juliana - VegasChatter
