…beginning in 1995 on Wells Ave
Still one of Reno’s oldest and most trusted tattoo shops.
We relocated to Midtown in the early 2000s, and the shop’s reputation grew with the neighborhood around it. The work, the people, and the history are all part of what keeps Aces moving.
We were the trailblazers of the Midtown vibe, making this area what it is today.
