Vince Neil Ink at the Rio, the ultra-rock tattoo parlor by collaborators Vince Neil of Mötley Crüe fame and rock star chopper builder Danny Koker, known as Count, of Count’s Kustoms, is now open.

Located on the second floor of the Masquerade Village at the Rio, the highly-anticipated tattoo shop is 2,800 square feet with four work stations and one private room for the true VIP experience. Black and red walls studded with purple velvet highlight the shop’s resident artists’ work along with Vince Neil and Mötley Crüe memorabilia. Pimped out accoutrements include custom leather couches, eight flatscreen TVs, granite counter tops and custom choppers by Count’s Kustoms that pay homage to the rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle.

Longtime tattoo enthusiasts Neil and Count have brought together an impressive roster of six highly- respected and experienced artists, each offering a unique talent to the shop. Leading the team is kanji tattoo master Jerome Swanson with 17 years of experience. Swanson along with Twigg Sparks, specialist in fine line and portrait inkings, and Josh Petty, a well-rounded artist that favors a bold and bright new school and realistic art form, are formerly of A&E’s reality series “Inked.” The diversity continues with Junior, favoring neo-traditional art with horror realism and skulls; Jake-N-Eggs, the “traditional” guy; and Matt Ahn, utilizing Polynesian and Asian-style influence from his home state of Hawaii.

Celebrating “the art of being bad,” Vince Neil Ink at the Rio goes beyond permanent body embellishment. A retail boutique offers a full selection of rock star threads by Seven Clothing Company, the lifestyle brand by Count, as well as official Vince Neil Ink, Count’s Kustoms, Feelgoods Rock Bar & Grill, and Seven Clothing merchandise.

Vince Neil Ink at the Rio is open daily 11 a.m. to 1 a.m. and walk-ins are welcome. All customers must be 18 years of age or older. More information can be found by calling 702.221.2543, www.VNIVegas.com, twitter.com/vnivegas, myspace.com/vnivegas and at Facebook by searching VNIVegas.
