There are some very seedy tattooists in Ecuador but "Art Tattoos" in central Quito are great artists and have a good reputation all over Sth America. I got my work done by Guillermo Barros. Most of the guys also speak English. Reply to this

Giant had a new inking in Ao Nang about a month ago - exceptionally painful....do not listen to your friends who say getting your head tattoo'd is not painful, they will tell you afterwards that they lied and it does indeed hurt like hell. Mr Tattoo didnt speak much english but Giant had a design in mind so with a lot of repeat visits he was very happy with the end result. He also had my name tattoo'd on the back of his ear...we ear tag cattle here in aus too :p

I'm new to this blog . I m going in Thai ! I dont consider myself a buddhist but it is the only organized religion that makes sense to me and i've always thought it is a beautifull teaching and i love studying it.But i'm not a very disciplined person and although i try to stick to some of the basics because i believe it makes me a better person, i'm far from a practising buddhist. I found some idea what i want in this article <snip>

I got a chest and shoulder piece done in Thailand, and im more than happy with it. As long as you heavily do your research on the artists backgorund and place and like their style you should be fine. Only downside was that i had to do the sessions day after another and it became really tiring. Also couldnt really go out but i did it at the end of the trip which was alright. 2 Hours after my last session i had to get ready to head home...bad decision... with 6 hour stop over in Malaysia...horrid...But other than that its all sweet!

Yes, I have done a tattoo while traveling. Last month I and my friends traveled to the Dead Sea. Mantis Tourism & Attraction provided us better facilities along with a better guide for the trip. Between the trip, I and few of my friends did tattoos on our body. It's a memorable thing to remember. Reply to this

Yes, doing a tattoo while traveling is something different one thinks so. But the main part is that you will enjoy the tattoo design the most while you are traveling. Recently I had been to Thailand through <snip> and did a great designed tattoo. The guide told took me to the best tattoo designer and I did it. A memorable moment for me.
