Beauty shopping in Southwest

  1. A

    Hart & Huntington Tattoo Company

    Rock stars and Hollywood celebs attended the grand opening of H&H, the notorious lovechild of a freestyle motocross legend and a nightclub promoter. Turntablists perform inside this plush, leather-walled tattoo parlor (incidentally, Vegas’ first ever inside a casino) while you get pierced or needled. Still undecided about whether or not to get inked? Ask the psychic in the velvet-curtained booth outside to tell you what your future holds.

    Pussykat Tattoo Parlor

    Dirk Vermin, a singer and guitarist for a local punk band, excels at full-color custom tattoos, especially rockabilly-style pinup babes. A staff of nine artists and rotating guest stars keeps things interesting. Look for the shop, which also houses Vermin’s way-out art gallery, in a rough-and-tumble strip mall.

  3. El Milagro Herbs

    This little shop is stocked with goodies for your skin and body, mixed by a resident herbalist. We swear by the Desert Dweller Deep Moisturizing Lotion – it cures even the driest skin. Also available are a host of herbal tinctures to boost your immune system or help you adjust to the high desert altitude.

    Lush

    Be deliciously immersed back in your hotel room’s bathtub with Lush’s essential-oil-infused ‘bath ballistics, ’ bubble bars and cocoa-butter bath melts, not to mention fresh, handmade pots of balms, cleansers and massage bars. Mostly natural and often organic, this is an eco-green beauty queen’s dream.

    Atomic City Tattoo

    Be seduced by the green neon sign outside –is it from a UFO or just a paranormal glow? Favored by Goths and fetishists, this bare-bones tattoo shop often holds events on First Friday, when you can get pierced for $20, or tattooed from $40.

    Voodoo Tattoo

    If sky-high prices or the bone-chilling reception at more-famous shops bugs you, head west of the Strip to this fave run by long-time city artist Joe Cool (no joke), who has been inking nervous first-timers and tattoo addicts since the 1990s.
