Robert Pho

As of late, the world has been producing some of the best tattoo artists we’ve ever seen, and for Robert Pho, the art of the tattoo has long been a way of life since 1989. With over 30 years of experience, Robert is the founder of Skin Design Tattoos – Las Vegas and now has opened up shops in Honolulu, Brooklyn, Orange County, and an additional studio within Las Vegas’ Caesar’s Palace. He is respected internationally as one of the finest black and gray tattoo artists in the world. Known best for his breath taking ability to do black and gray fine line work, gradient shading and intriguing portraits, his work is one which reflects the patience of his studies and continuing perfection of the art. A consummate student of the tattoo, Robert has utilized his career as an artist to raise the bar and set the standard for black and gray ink within the industry and culture. While his work speaks for itself, Robert counts himself as his greatest competitor. His painstaking attention to detail has filled shelves with awards and accolades and it has also landed him significant industry acclaim – all of which pales in comparison to the satisfaction he feels in delivering the best work possible to his clients.

With numerous awards and achievements under his belt, Robert has been published internationally and is recognized as one of the finest in the world of black and gray. The shop he created has become a hub of creativity and it’s staffed with some of the most inspiring and talented in the industry. In addition to being one of the largest studios in the Las Vegas area, it also happens to be one of the friendliest where everyone is treated like part of the family. 

Robert is currently tattooing out of Hawai’i, but often travels around to tattoo out of each of the Skin Design locations, always remembering to return to his shop on Spring Mountain. If you’re ever in Nevada, be sure to stop by the Las Vegas tattoo shop and experience the 4,000+ sq. foot beauty that started this uproar.
