  Marla Fay

  Hello! My name is Marla Fay, I am 26 years old. I’m one of those rare breeds that was born and raised in Las Vegas, NV and i’m loving every minute of it. I’ve been a tattoo artist on the Las Vegas strip for 4 years and counting, i’m extremely proud and excited to be apart of the Rockin’ Ink Tattoo Company crew here at the Westgate. My favorite tattoo styles are realism, bright color, black & gray, script, illustrative and cover-ups. Cover-ups are another one of my favorite projects to do, it’s awesome to be able to put a smile on someones face when they come to me and they aren’t satisfied with their previous work, it’s an immense feeling to make someone’s day by fixing older tattoos with my own art and creativity. I’m also really into creating custom pieces for my clients, there is nothing like taking verbal and visual concepts and turning them into something amazing and unique, give me any of your ideas and I will put them down on paper. Whether or not you want a full sleeve, half sleeve or just some flash art, my goal is to make you love your new ink.

  Kevin Thiele

  I was born at Spangdahlem AB, Germany, into an Air Force family. We lived on the east coast during my early childhood then moved and settled in the Las Vegas valley. I’ve been into art for as long as I can remember and continue to be grateful for a life I can be passionate about. My family and the love of art is what pushes me to create beautiful (and bad-ass) tattoos for every client.

  Scott Mercer

  Hi, my name is Scott. I am a native of Las Vegas. I am an artist whom respects all aspects of tattooing and the pioneers that sacrificed to let me be able to do what I love. After seven years of tattooing I am still learning as this industry constantly grows. My favorite styles of tattoos are New school/Old school traditional, black & grey and fine line. I am a fan of all mediums of art. My journey started at young age. Art was my favorite subject in school. I was then able to create art as a Spray Paint artist on the Las Vegas strip for 5 years before taking on my tattoo apprenticeship. Once I started tattooing, I had a passion in this new medium. I continue to grow every day to get better. My goal is to give you the best experience and tattoo I can give, no matter how big or small. I have had the opportunity to work along some great artists and meet some awesome clients from all over the world. Thank you and Hope to Tattoo you soon!
