Fine Line Black & Grey
MIKE TA
Mike Ta is a tattoo artist based at 18b Tattoo in the Downtown Las Vegas Arts District, with over 11 years of professional experience. Originally from Garden Grove in Orange County, California, and of Chinese and Vietnamese heritage, Mike brings a culturally influenced perspective to his work, combining precision with a strong sense of balance and composition.
Specializing in fine line and illustrative black and grey tattoos, Mike is known for clean linework, controlled detail, and designs that are built intentionally for the body. He also works across Japanese-inspired tattoos and realism, adapting his approach depending on the concept while maintaining a consistent focus on clarity and long-term wear—especially important in the Las Vegas environment, where placement and exposure can impact how tattoos age.
Tattooing since 2014, Mike has developed a reputation in the Downtown Las Vegas tattoo community for creating fully custom pieces that are tailored to each client’s idea, placement, and scale. His process is deliberate and collaborative, ensuring that every design is not only visually strong but also technically sound from the start.
Clients looking for fine line tattoos in Las Vegas, black and grey work in the Arts District, or custom illustrative tattoos in Downtown Las Vegas often choose Mike for his precision, consistency, and ability to translate ideas into clean, lasting results.
Outside the studio, Mike spends his time running and unwinding with documentaries—especially those focused on animals and world history. That same sense of focus and curiosity carries into his tattooing, where each piece is approached with intention, strong fundamentals, and a commitment to work that holds up over time.
