I wanted to get a tattoo that was very personal and special to me as it was by a family member who I lost. I've never been someone to get a tattoo and this was something really out there for me.
I took the sketch of my tattoo into the store and they were able to quote me immediately and book me in at the time I wanted.
On the day, the tattooist was extremely professional. He asked about my reasons in getting it and was very understanding and sympathetic. He was very gentle and cautious and kept checking that I was alright. It wasn't that painful really and everything was done very hygienically. He also talked me through caring for my tattoo for the first week and recommended the right products that would keep away an infection.
I'm now planning my second tattoo and I'll be getting it done here again. While it was a very sad experience for me, the tattooist made something that was difficult, a lot more manageable.

Approximate cost: $70+
