the Harley Shop in frankston are good.... but they only do either tigers, dragons, or hearts with knives through them. Ask for anything else and they get uncomfortable, think you are gay and comit hate crimes on yo ass.

What u gonna get Lil Msbrkz? I was thinkin of getting one.

my mate has a tatto of a stick figure on his foot, hah idiot.

you're not getting a stick figure on your foot are you? sorry if you are..

A girl called Zara(sp?)

Without a shadow of a doubt the finest tattooist in Melbourne. She has done quite a few of my mates full back and sleeves and is absolutely amazing in the extreme. She gets results on skin that most top artists couldn't even dream of achieving on paper.

Last time I heard she was at Gertrude St but that was a few years back and has prolly moved since.

The only downside is it usually takes a good two or three months to get an appointment with her.

Chapel Tattoos or Tattoo Magic (Gertrude St)

Sam - the best artists at these places are always booked up to 3 months in advance. But if you go to either shops you'll be rest assured quality 8)

either chapel tattoo or dynamic on sawn st. thats also where sara works these days. she is rad but you'll need to book a good month or so in advance. but all the other guys there have skills as well.
if its a portrait style design though then wait for sara, when it comes to them she has everyone beat.
if you go to chapel try and get andrew, especially if its old school style. again with him you'll probs have to book a few weeks in advance.
dont bother with tattoo magic on gertrude. overrated, overpriced and not really all that good.
New Hampshire's alright if you like fighting.

Hey Sammy :smt006

Cannot recommend the guys and chicks at Chapel Tattoo enough- have had both mine done there and have also taken friends along. Impressive work.

Super profesh and fussy about how it's gonna look. Andrew took about an hour to line up my script on my shoulder- just was not totally happy with it.

When I was there a few months ago, they were in the process of moving but phone number should be the same: 9521 1202

Looking at up to 3 month wait- they worth the wait tho... :D

a lady i work with, her brother in law is the guy that runs that shop. she's in the process of getting her whole back done by him - massive dragon, clouds, mountains, lotus flowers, river... looks fucking awesome! :smt045

he takes his time, plenty o shading, makes sure it drapes correctly over your skin so it sits nicely

it's making me itchy to go get something done

if only i wasn't so indecisive :roll:

I remember asking some girl where she got her tattoo during the last Stylus - It was a nice Maori Tribal pattern. Unfortunately I can't remember her answer...

I really want to get another one...

^^^^ :lol: Nice idea, but then I would have to cope with you trying to go down on my forehead whenever I come over to visit. That just would not do.

However, it might be worth it if you go one step further and get coral implants on your forehead in the shape of a dick and balls.

Said it before and say it again.. Andrew at Chapel St Tatts is the bomb. Mad designs and the cleanest most professioanl work.

I constantly have people comment on the clean lines of the one on my shoulder and it shows that he took his time doing it.

My scripture is pretty small but has not bled at all- looks like it's was done with a fine line marker. :D
