Whereabouts are you? There's a good one down in Coolie, in the arcade behind/underneath Montezuma's. Good reputation and lovely people. Can't remember the name though. I'll have a google.

Yeah cheers,

been told bout that one, one at Mermaid, Southport and Surfers. Just wondered if anyone would have given a huge thumbs up/down to any particular one.

Have also heard that there can be up to a 2 month wait for appointments at that one which would suggest to me that they are good. He's wanting a pretty big tattoo done but is leaving here within the next 2 weeks so may not even be able to get one.

Cheers
Mandy

Tattoos are best kept out of the sun when they are new. Also its best to go to a tattoo artist to have a chat about what you want done, then have them prepare the art for your next visit. Large tattoos will usually take several visits of a couple of hours or more. It is also best to have access to the artist afterwards, as some area's might need a touch up later on.

Was just trying to be helpful as I've got a lot of tattoo's and think that a bit of preparation goes along way when its something you're going to keep forever.

Hay chicky, cheers!!

First time av seen you on here!!

Mr T was on the net this morning trying to suss some out, maybe you can go with him!!LOL

mandyp

Again thanx, but we'r not newbies at tattoos. Mr T has been researching some of the studios but was just looking for some recomendations of where to go or not to go. He already has a few, just wanted to take an aussie momento back with him as his brother told him he'd pay for the tattoo for his 30th birthday.

Cheers
Mandy

It would depend if you wanted something intricate or just the run-of-the-mill tramp stamp I suppose.

mandyp

He's wanting a half leg done, which he knows is gonna be around 3 or 4 hours worth and cost anything between $150-$200 per hour.

I think he'll be crying like a baby Laura!!!LOL

Cheers

Fella that did mine is the son of a pommie art teacher and only charges about $110 p/h and he's good too. A bit far away from you though, he's in mayfield nsw.

My daughter had her belly pierced at the Coolie place and I was checking them out for me to have another tattoo. Was very impressed with the guys (and girls) i've dealt with there so far. They were recommended to me by several random people. I just need to find the right design and I'll be down there
