[RallyPlaya]

Hey Guys My 19th Birthday is less than a month away and ive been thinking of getting a small tattoo for over a year now. So I Just Wanted to ask if Any of You guys knew a reputable tattoo place and the associate that did your tattoo..

It Would really help because i want an A+ Job on my Tat i dont mind paying more to get a good job

No one on TM3 has ever Got inked ?

[LockOut]

Hahaha, you've gotta give it more than half an hour, Suk :chuckle

I haven't been inked, but I'm going to keep an eye on this thread, cuz in the future I may be lookin' to get one done, too. That's a pretty sweet tat. Are the group of your friends all getting it?

[RallyPlaya]

Thanks Man.... Yeah its a big decision.... Well One of My Buds is getting it for Sure and my other bud hes kinda hesitant... but thats understandable.... Ive also been working out rigorously for the tattoo i want to get to 130 pounds before i get inked im only 9 pounds away.... So im using this tattoo as motivation for that as well... get myself in Prime Shape

Thanks Slipstream I Appreciate it thats seem like a good place and its not located in a sketch location..... and on the spine thats gotta kill =P

I have had tatt's done at a couple of places downtown, including New Tribe. I agree that they do good work, but I found them over- priced. I know you pay for quality, but the price they charge is outrageous in my mind.

The last 3 or 4 tatt's I've had done were from Artatorture:

James has done all of mine. He is very reputable. The following link will show some of his artwork, including those that were award winning:

Sukoon, let me know if you plan on going there as I may get some additional tatt's as well :)

That's the one thing about getting one....... it will never be just "one".

Nice Man I Remember Talking To You about getting a Tat.... Maybe We Can Get one done @ the Same Time =)

[Pimpdaddy]

You can go to Art Addiction now located on Hurontario, north of steeles (right before you hit downtown) and ask for Matt... really nice guy. You can tell him that Serg from Lexus sent ya and he will take care of you :P

[Donutz]

I have to agree with POGI; I got my first tat at Artatorture way back in the day. They do good work. Got another one at Tattarama, which used to be in the beach (or is it beaches?!).

Wherever you get your tat, there are a few things you want to ask and see. Who makes the needles and where. A lot of tattoo artists make their own. Ask about the sterilization process; you want the needles to be sterilized in an autoclave. And most important, you want to ask to see the autoclave, and at the time you get your tat you want to see the needle being unpacked. Be safe!

[cosic]

Give it some time Sukoon. Wait a bit longer

[Dave_The_BMXER]

When I went to new tribe I didn't get a good vibe, they kinda ignored me and my gf for a long time.

I got my work done here http://www.passage.ws/ , by Liz. My gf got a sick cover up done there also.

I will be going back when I start my half sleeve.

My pics are down but I got all 5 of mine done by Stewart at New Tribe on Queen across from Much Music. All my inks are names done in old english text.

For my next 2 tats I'm gonna have Greg at Sal's Tattoo and Barber shop do them. It's going to be a half sleeve on both arms to cover up the ex-wife's name. He's located at Spadina and College.

Nice Ami what exactly is the tatoo?
something along the lines of a cobra with eagle wings. Roots trace back to Egyptian mythology.

I think I walked into that place over the summer just to see what the art work was like. It's on the east side of Spadina, just south of College, right?!?!

Yup. That's the place. I got mine somewhere along Queen st. about a block or two from Spadina.

I think I know this place too....
On the north side of Queen, just west of Spadina (near the KFC).

Yup that's the place just right before College. There's an old fashion barber chair right when you walk in.

Greg's work is awesome. Just waiting to see what he came up with to cover up my ex-wife's name on both my arms.

[KenYork]

We should have a "where not to go" list too.

[Slipstream]
