    Don't get a tattoo on holidays. Wait til you get home and you can heal it properly and make sure that you're going to a proper studio that will do it right.

    You have no idea who you will be tattooed by, you cannot drink the day beforehand, you cannot swim afterwards, cannot expose the piece to the sun, you need to take care of it, you will pay tourist prices and you have no way of getting the work touched up if needed.

    in short, terrible idea, plus, why get tattooed on holiday? novelty? also a bad tattoo motive.

    I've two mates that got tattoo'd over there. One guys was his first, the other had a couple already. Both love their tatts. We did tell them the reasons to not get them, much the same as the ones already said. Maybe they got lucky.
    But after reading what's been said, I gotta agree with hot2def and Guage. Wait till you're back. It won't hurt that much to wait an extra week or two.

    If you are really serious about getting a brilliant tattoo and devote your whole holiday to getting this tattoo and are willing to do a long sitting then there is a guy in Tenerife whose stuff looks brilliant.

    Something tells me that's not what you are looking for though.
