Getting Tattooed on the Strip During Metallica at the Sphere
Metallica's residency at the Sphere, Life Burns Faster, runs October 1, 2026 through March 13, 2027, with shows landing on Thursday and Saturday nights and no song repeated across the whole run. If you're flying into Vegas for one of those dates, there's a good chance a tattoo is already on the list too. Here's how to fold it into the trip without it turning into a hassle.
Where I'm at
I tattoo at Club Tattoo inside The LINQ, right on the Strip. The Sphere sits up by the Venetian, an easy walk from the Strip, so a stop at my chair before or after a show is a simple add, not a special trip of its own.
What people usually want after a big show
Fans marking a tour date tend to land on one of a few things: the date itself in clean lettering, a lyric or line that means something to them, or band artwork like a logo or album art. Whatever direction you go, I'll work with you on placement and detail so it reads well now and holds up years from now.
Booking around residency dates
Residency weekends bring a lot of people through town at once, so the earlier you reach out the better your odds of getting the day and time you want. Walk-ins are welcome, but if you already know your show dates, request an appointment before you land and we can talk placement and size ahead of time.
Common questions
Is Club Tattoo close to the Sphere?
Yes, it's walkable. Club Tattoo is inside The LINQ on the Strip, and the Sphere sits up by the Venetian.
Can I get a Metallica logo or album art tattooed?
Yes. Band logos and album art are something I tattoo regularly, along with dates, lyrics, and other pieces tied to the night.
Do I need an appointment during the residency?
Walk-ins are welcome, but residency weekends bring a lot of visitors through town. If you already have your show dates, request an appointment ahead of time so we can lock in a slot.
What's a good tattoo to mark a big show?
Simple and clean tends to age best. A date in fine line, a short lyric, or a small symbol all work well and don't take a long sitting. New to Vegas tattoos altogether? Start with how to get a tattoo in Las Vegas, or go straight to booking on the Strip.
