RivalArts

Jeff is the best of the best hands down. If you want a good piece done go here?

Jeff was great. I wanted a small and unique tattoo. He was ready with ideas and had suggestions that made me feel at ease in going with his recommendations.

Jeff is an awesome artist of many mediums, not just skin. We met years ago when he fixed a previous guy bad work on my arm and has since hit me up with a great portrait on my leg and a large custom chest piece. It’s very unlikely anyone else will touch me with a tatto machine besides this guy unless he retires.

Fantastic artist! Love this place!

Always a great experience and good time when I visit Jeff at his studio. Set with a comfortable, relaxing environment and a Fresh Approach to unique and creative artwork in ink. I've been happy to let him have free creative licensing for the last decade when it comes to work Jeff has done on me. Thanks Jeff I look forward to my next tattoo!

Got my first tattoo here by the amazing Jeff Hayes. It was a simple design but he did everything to make sure he got every detail possible looking it's best. The shop is a great, clean, and relaxing environment. Jeff's personality makes the whole experience perfect from start to finish. I laughed the whole way through my appointment and couldn't be happier with the final product. Can't wait to have more done by Jeff!

This place is awesome! Such great positive energy, a very talented and skilled artist, and a clean and professional studio. Highly recommended.

Jeff is a wonderful artist who enjoys custom work in all styles. RivalArts is sunny and clean. I have been getting tattooed by Jeff for 10 years and my tattoos look as good now as the day they were done.

I've been getting work done in NM the better part of 15 years. I'm thrilled to finally have found Jeff as my permanent artist. Not only is he the greatest artist to work on me, he's also the greatest guy. I look forward to our conversations, laughter, etc.. He's helped me rework some trashy tattoos I got as a teenage, giving me back confidence, and has also done a few fresh pieces of his own design. Most recently, this amazing Peruvian pelican I can now call my friend :)

As with all things, you usually get what you pay for. Tattoos are the epitome of this. Come on, people. This is permanent. Art. On. Your. Skin. Forever. Jeff has been my tattoo artist for about 8 years. The work we have done together is nothing short of perfect. I go in with an idea and he creates a custom piece of art for me based on what we've discussed, my personality, placement on my body (he designs around curves and angles). He's an artist, through and through. And not just a tattoo artist. He has his BSN from UNLV in illustration (?) and painting. (Or something similar.) Regardless, I trust his work and his vision. We are currently working on a half sleeve, which to me is a huge commitment. The large back piece we did years ago was huge and detailed, but still can easily be covered. For this more public piece, I knew Jeff and only Jeff could do this for me. I’ve included the back piece he did years back as well as the half-sleeve in its various stages. Also, MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. And keep it. Jeff travels and tattoos all across the country. Also, this is not the guy to throw on a piece of flash. If you want true art on your skin, this is your man.

Jeff is a great artist that is fun and professional. Always trust the work he does.

Getting tattooed by Jeff is an awesome experience. Not only does he do great work but his personality and attitude make the entire experience as enjoyable as possible. He's done a ton of my work and will be doing lots more in the future.

Jeff Hayes is an incredible artist and promotes a fun but professional atmosphere. His background in art gives me complete confidence to trust him with his work, and he’ll never attempt a tattoo that won’t work on your body. I can give him an idea and he’ll roll with it, putting his own unique touch on it and making it into something even better than I could have hoped for. I recommend him to anyone, whether they’re looking for their first tattoo, their 50th tattoo, or for a cover up.

Colin has an awesome studio and his co workers are right up to par with his standards. Clean shop and comfortable surroundings with awesome artistry! Highly recommend their work.
