russian tatto parlor

mickmurphy

hey guys and gal's

im thinking of getting my first tattoo

and i was browsing shops asking prices

its a large scorpion + two stars on the side of my bicep
mixed between real and fake

looking through all the stores een 1 or 2 in holland they asked 150 - 250 euro ,

But just today i was on talbot st. and i passed an russian tatto parlor ,
so i walked in and the guy said 100 , maybe 120 depending on how detailed it was.
thing is its in an old irish apartment complex the above a headshop.... but when u walk in it looks so expert .

so i was wondering has any one seen it ? should i trust them ? there the cheapist proper looking tattoo place like its not as bad a bray , but not as good as connected on abby .

so guys o was wondering do u trust him ? they look really clean and they showed me loads of proper tattoo's even those on his mate that was there....

Should i ?

citizen_p

ask to see their portfolio....youll have this on you for life so dont rush it

mickmurphy

his work looks legit but i heard off bad places and there after scaps and bad marks after it was done


like his portfolio looks perfect , detailed one especially , but so sheaper compared to other's

was wondering if any one got there there or heard rumors :pac:

Oh I know the place. Dublin tatoo energie or something? Was in there before. Bit of a weird oul place tbh with you. I won't say what was going on there but I'd never go back.

Check out Snakebite, Colour Works, Wildcat and Dublin Art Tattoo to name but a few.

Ah I don't want to say incase I shouldn't but if a mod comes in and says I have to I will.

mickmurphy

awh man :P

u got much tattos yourself ?

are they really sore :P i paid for one my sister on her wrist

hunter164

I've 2 so I think I'm only starting off. They don't hurt that bad imo. Just go somewhere decent man because you'll regret it otherwise if you get a dodgy one.

mickmurphy

ah man i know that one :P bro warns me every time i mention tatoo's ....

my sis got hers in connected CVU now or somthing .... and there really 100% decent

hunter164

It's true though, ya don't want a piece of sh1te on your arm. Connected CVU where's that?

mickmurphy

hunter164

To be honest, if theres dodgy stuff going on in a tattoo parlour, you should say what it is.

mickmurphy - I may have gotten this wrong, but you sound quite young.

DO NOT chose a tattoo parlour based on price.

Just like with most things, you paid for what you get. In general, a cheap tattooist is cheap because they're not as good.

There is plenty of info on the recommended parlours in this forum. Chose from one of those and go in and talk about what you want to have done.

Defo want to know what was goin on in there though!

Hunter164 - spill the beans, you're killing us man!

You'll be glad you did in the long run.

No hunter dont.Unless its first hand experience its not relevant.Ive been in that place and it looks quite hygenic and profesional and also the portfolios look quite good.
