1) Can anyone recommend me a good tattoo parlor in KL? Want to get a tribal half-sleeve tattoo (an extension from the old tattoo across my arm [left bicep area]) and since it's exposed, it has to be nice or me and my skin would be fecked. So can anyone recommend me a good one who can ink complicated designs? Do bear in mind, I am hoping to look for a studio which has proper hygiene that sterilizes their tools. (Would it be weird if I asked them to sterilize their tools in front of me? tongue.gif)

2) Is it true that the more skilled the artist, the less it'd hurt? If so, tell me which is the best one to go to!! laugh.gif

3) Anyway to check what kind of ink is FDA approved and what would be the procedures after the tattoo (such as how long do I keep it bandaged or away from water and so on and so forth)?

3) Which part of the body would hurt the least to have a tattoo on? IINM, necks are the most receptive part of the body to pain? Does anyone know about this or is it a myth?

4) Anything that I should know of before selecting a tattoo parlor? biggrin.gif

Cheers and thanks in advance for an answer.  icon_rolleyes.gif

1) everyone highly recommends borneo ink. but i didnt get mine thr, and the waiting list is damn long. i've said it many times and im gonna say it again...do consider INKED at sunway.
http://profiles.friendster.com/12662254 <-- this is the frenster profile of the owner/tattooist mr benny. can see some of his work thr. he did my snake tattoo, and its good. juz dont go to sg wang those places..i doubt their quality. i think all studio sterilizes their tool. u can ask them to open the new needle in front of u, actually they shud do that.

2) yes i think this is true. it would hurt less and the tattoo will heal faster. and a good tattoo will be smooth like ur skin, it shouldn't bulge out like scar.

3) u can remove the bandage after 1 hour or so. just wash it gently with soap water and apply the bepanthen cream daily. stay away from chlorine water (no swimming!) and erm seafood la basically. its gonna be damn itchy when healing so dont ever scratch it!

3) the least painful part..haha i have no idea. for me tattoo doesnt hurt at all =p thats becos i havent try getting my neck or spine area tattooed. heard its pretty damn pain thr.

4) know what u want..tattoo artists hate indecisive and fickle minded customers. be specific with wat design u wish to have. communicate well with the artist. look at his/her works first before getting inked by him/her. and survey the price to avoid getting ripped off.

hmm i could only think of this for now. happy getting inked. so jealous :\

1) What's the waiting list there like? And is Mr Benny skilled?

2) WTH?! The parlor didn't ask me to apply any cream or whatever. He just asked me to refrain from swimming, gym and seafood and asked me not to bath that area too much (forgot what was the reason he gave). But in any case, what's with the bepanthen cream?

3) About the ink, any way to find out what kind of ink he uses? Again, I'd like to make sure that a wide area job uses safe ink.

4) Where did you have yours inked? tongue.gif AFAIK arms, naval and buttocks hurt the least. Mind me asking, did you do anything to prepare for the pain? I actually used a mechanical pencil tip to scrap against my skin to prepare before my first tattoo.

5) Well, yeah lah, I already had the design and printed it out but just looking for the right parlor. laugh.gif
*
1) im not sure but wat i heard is 15 months?! thats damn long. benny is skilled yea. 11 years of experience. click on the friendster profile to view his work la.

2) its sort of antiseptic cream to help it heal faster le. can be bought in pharmacy.

3) u can go to the studio and see the type of ink i guess?

4) i did twice on my right shoulder blade. i didnt do anything to prepare for the pain le..i was kinda looking forward to it summore. call me masochist...hhaha

Tattoo is a form of body art, like embroidery, its the same thing. Why women wanted to do embroidery?
Somehow its also known as permanent makeup.

Aiyoh, diff people diff preference lar

yup. a form of body art. same as why women pierce their ears to wear earrings. tattoo is just another level of beauty. a lot of guys actually think girls with tattoos are sexay! wub.gif

hey i am kinda thought of getting my first tattoo...which is gonna be the word "freedom" in kanji on my calf... i went to a tattoo shop in sungai wang on the other day...the  worker told me that she is going to charge me RM100 for it...what u guys think abt the price? and are the shops at sungai wang trustable? what about the safety precautions and stuff...i am new in this tattoo thingy...so gimme some advise/answers thx =)
*
judging from the price i guess ur tattoo is kinda simple n small? thats the normal price for a simple word. which shop in sg wang? like wat suiteng mentioned, take a look at the tattooist's work first before deciding..

QUOTE(suiteng @ Jun 7 2008, 11:59 PM)
Your birthdate is suitable for this tattoo also? Wow! That's rare! Must meet you edi biggrin.gif
One thing about tattoo = instead of asking for a cheap price, ask for the tattooist reputation. You dun want your tattoo to become tanglung the next day, right?
*
wat do u mean by become 'tanglung'? become lantern? sorry i noob in tattoo...dunno all this term.........

is any tattoo shop that u all can recommend me with reasonable price with good quality work? btw.... ya the words arent really that big...should be ard 2-3 inches in height and 2 inches width.... its kinda simple...but its very meaningful to me...its not just for presenting or showing off to others...its more for myself...AND what u guys meant by checking out the artist's reputation?
*
meaning u need to find out for urself whether ur tattooist is skilled or not sweat.gif ask around for ppl's opinions on his/her works, see whether he got good or bad reputation as a tattooist. check out his previous works too.

QUOTE(Seaedge @ Jun 8 2008, 01:05 AM)
thats quite selfish quote isnt it? you might not like the tattoos but it doesnt mean others. and when someone like tattoos usually into bodyarts..

i dont see self mutilation... i see a person obsessed with art.

some made tattoo for fun, but some tattoos has meaning in their lives.
*
everybody has their own preferences. they dunno how to appreciate the beauty of tattoos..its ok =p

hmm....icic....thx for the advise...then is there any place that u all know that the tattoo artist has good work?recommend?

everyone sure recommend borneo ink. damn famous. but a bit expensive due to their reputation, not to mention their long waiting list. however u can still check out that place, they're damn skilled.

other places: dragonfly at 1U or inked at sunway or this place in petaling street (dunno the name n the exact location..have to ask others).

i think sg wang also got good ones la..but im not sure where and who.

i tattoo at sg wang too previously, however the price i got is rm150 the cheapest...the tattoo ppl told me no matter how small is it minumum charges is rm150....cause it includes touch up in future....that is why charge higher...i just get a simply letter only. the size only 1 inch plus only...actually the price for rm150 is bigger than that...however i requested small ones.... after tattoo it faded and dun look nice...however, i went back for touch up...he do it for me all over again with outline...for FREE...so still satisfy...
*
150 for a small letter is kinda expensive. any touch up for the same tattoo shud be free anyway. how old was ur tattoo when u realized it was fading? sometimes no matter how u take care of it, if the quality of work and ink is lousy it will fade very fast. example would be my first tattoo, got it 5 years ago at sg wang for rm70. lousy work resulted in fading ink and it bulges out.
