I just saw a few pages back somebody asking about tattoo shops in Queens...
First thing is first.. Monster Tattoo is f*cking terrible and so is every other tattoo shop in Queens.. Real talk.
The only decent, and I repeat decent shop in Queens is Red Parlor and I still wouldn't get tattooed there.
As far as getting tattooed in NYC goes.. There are only 5 shops worth going to..
In order...
1. Last Rites - Hands down the best shop NYC has ever seen. Every artist is reputable and has their own shop.
2. Tribulation Tattoo - Tim Kern is the truth.
3. Smith Street Tattoo - Awesome classic stuff.
4. Dare Devil - Terry Ribera is man.
5. Adorned - Only for guest artists, I wouldn't go to any of the resident artists.
6. East Side Ink - Bang Bang is decent.
Remember, whatever you're getting is going to be on you forever so don't go to some low budget bullshit shop.
If you're trying to get a cheap tattoo why even bother. |

I agree... so I took it upon myself to make a Tattoo FAQ post. I AM a tattoo artist by the way.
Does a tattoo hurt?
There's no real answer to this question. Everyone relates to pain differently. What I CAN say is that certain parts of the body are more sensitive than other. From personal experiences and from what I've seen/heard...the neck, inner arm, chest, ribs (esp.), lower back, hands, and feet are the most sensitive areas.
How much does a tattoo cost?
This depends on many things such as the size, detail, amount of color, artist, etc. Most shops I know usually have a base price and/or charge per hour. Just remember, CHEAP TATTOOS AREN'T GOOD AND GOOD TATTOOS AREN'T CHEAP!
"My tattoo is fading. Do I need to get it touched up?"
Not necessarily. Tattoo's will eventually fade over time. Maybe years down the line you might want to touch it up.
How do I choose an artist?RESEARCH. DO YOUR RESEARCH. I can't tell you how many times I've seen people come in for cover ups because they didn't like the way the artist did their tattoo. Ask around. Best way of referrals are word of mouth. Also, make sure the artist has a portfolio.
How long does a tattoo take?
Once again...depends on what you want. Most reasonable sized tattoos can be done in one session/sitting but larger pieces might require multiple seatings.[/size]
TATTOO AFTERCARE
Most artist will give you aftercare instructions but for those who don't listen, here you go.
-After you get your tattoo...leave the bandage on for 1-2 hours. 2 hours max. DO NOT REMOVE IT AT ALL! YOUR FRIENDS CAN WAIT!
- After you remove the bandage, wash it gently with anti-bacterial soap. Don't scrub hard. You can remove the ink if you scrub too hard. Your mainly just trying to get rid of the blood. After it's washed...PAT DRY IT.
- Put a small amount of ointment on it. A&D is the best ointment. You don't wanna cake on the ointment...just a thin coat; enough to make it shine.
- I usually wash my tattoo 3 times a day (morning, evening, and night) and put ointment on following the washing. I do this for about 3-4 days before switching over to an UNSCENTED LOTION. I personally use Lubriderm.
- YOUR TATTOO WILL START TO SCAB AND ITCH! DO NOT PICK OR SCRATCH IT! YOU CAN REMOVE THE COLOR IF YOU DO!
- YOU MUST AVOID PROLONGED SHOWERS, THE BEACH, POOLS, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY...THE SUN FOR 2 WEEKS AT LEAST!
Hope this helps! |

Word of advice to people who want to get tattoos.
1: DON'T PICK YOUR TATTOO OUT OF A DAMN BOOK. Flash tattoos never work out.
2: DO YOUR RESEARCH. Make sure you've seen the artists work and that they are familiar with the style you want.
3: YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. I understand names/text being cheap, but art/portraits/custom should never be cheap. The truth is, anybody can tattoo but not everybody is a tattoo ARTIST.
MOST tattooers only care about money and not about the art. They will put ANYTHING on you. F*ck, they'll put a dick on your forehead if you wanted. Those are the artists you stray from.
Real tattoos costs thousands, not hundreds.
4: Last but not least. KNOW WHAT YOU WANT BEFORE GOING |

You should post a link to the old one as referral. 
Good stuff though. I'm still undecided on what my first tattoo should be. It's long overdue.

I have two tattoos, one on each wrist, I wouldn't get any more though cuz I don't want to mark the rest of my body with anything. I'll edit it with pics later.

It was a very good thread, and because of its success, I'll archive it.

Oh, a new thread! I'm looking to tat my last name in Japanese on both of my biceps since its two characters and I'd like to have them on the inside. I'm still thinking... But I've been lurking in the old thread for a while.
