Vegas Golden Knights partner with local tattoo shop to give fans free ink

Despite the city's slogan, what happens in Vegas doesn't always stay there — and the Golden Knights are taking that to a new level in their partnership with a local tattoo shop during the Stanley Cup playoffs.

Revolt Tattoos is making sure that some fans leave Vegas with new artwork, by providing free Golden Knights-themed ink outside of T-Mobile Arena during home playoff games. Shop owner Joey Hamilton says the partnership started during the Golden Knights' postseason run following their inaugural season of 2017-18.

"[Golden Knights' executives] asked us that first year: 'Do you guys want to tattoo some logos? It's never been done.' And we're like, yeah, let's do it. So we teamed up with them and did it," Hamilton told ESPN.

Since then, he's become a fixture at Toshiba Plaza during Golden Knights home playoff games.

Along with two other artists, Hamilton arrives around five hours prior to game time and it doesn't take long for a line to form. He estimated that they tattooed about 35 to 40 fans per day when Vegas hosted the Winnipeg Jets to open their first-round series. The trio works until halfway through the first period, which could end up being four hours. They have had to turn people away.
