I'm considering getting a small tat. Can anyone recommend a good place to get it done?

[Berzerker]

Probably should use the search function for this topic....

Berz out.

Dutchman Tattoo on 6th street in Burnaby.

It'll cost ya, but you don't want an ugly tattoo on your body.

:buttrock: I think they usually charge $200/hr. You get what you pay for.

i've heard good things about them for sure. might be a wait to get it done though

[Inaii]

last I heard it was ~3 month wait

[adambomb]

True that.

I waited about 4 months for my turn. If you want the actual Dutchman...you'll probably 3x longer and cost you way more.

It kind depends on what you want. If you want just some words, any tattoo artist with cheaper rates can do that. But if you want some artwork, better to go with some seasoned veterns. I've seens some ugly blobs that are supposed to be fish on a person and i've heard tattoo removal hurts more than getting the tatty itself.

Yeah I just want something small but I would rather play a few hundred dollars and have it look nice then a hundred dollars and have crap on my skin.

i waited 2 months for my tatoo. but great service, clean and professional.

if your just "considering" then you arn't ready yet.

Dutchmans is top notch but a lot of the artists are riding off Johns coattails and are not worth $200.

It depends what type of tattoo you want. If you want something small easy and generic, then a lot of the better artists will pawn you off to newer less experienced guy in the shop.

If you want something in particular style like japanese, americana traditional, New School, Bio Mechanical, etc then you should find a artist you specializes in that style.

Anyways we have A LOT of good tattoo studios around. Here are some off the top of my head.

Blackwater Tattoo

Funhouse tattoo

Tattoo Union

Eastside tattoo parlour

Craftmans tattoo

New World tattoo

Fat City tattoo

Dutchmans tattoo

Monkey King

Granville st tattoo

Lady Luck

Trigger happy

[dlo]

^ Yes to trigger happy, blackwaters, monkey king.
If you wish for a cheap, and quick with no waiting, $$$$$$$$$ tattoo is someone i would consider, he gives you reasonable quotes.

40 days 40 nights on victoria has good work too

[Nvasion]

how bout osmosis richmond, got my piece there from trevor

[dyan]

+1 for 40 days 40 nights

[whatitdew]

Oh ya forgot about Osmosis, Trevor I think it is who works there is a kick ass tattooist.

Judging from the gallery on their website I wouldn't go to 40 days 40 nights. Not very solid or clean tattoo work at all.

[TheNewGirl]

Awesome thanks. I'm going to go visit a few of those places and look at some art.

[gdoh]

i went to sacred heart tatto on west 10th & alma a girl named Lacey, but shes moving to a private studio in whistler on the Feb 20, just giving you another option

[Nvasion]

40 days.. i saw a guy get a huge piece and his lines wernt all that straight and his details wernt that good either

[Nicotine]

i got my piece at osmosis by greg he's got clean work too

[mkings]

There's a good one down in Richmond, safe, professionalized, and easy. It's near the Skystation to Richmond, along the strip malls.

[Gwilo]

There is also CrossRoads on 12th & Clarke.

They are about $ 150.00/hr

I had all my tats done by Denis
