Yeah from what i know, sharkeys are quite expensive .. would prob be better to go somewhere in brissy!! I've heard that 'westside' is pretty good!!

If you're in Byron go and see Tom at the other shop there (in fletcher st) It's called Creative Tattoo Art. Tom does fantastic work, inked a wicked tiki on my leg, and I'll definately be going back for more. I got my backjob done by Gary at Shades of Grey at Caboolture, great work and well priced but maybe too far for you travel wise.nn[ Edited on 19-9-2005 by 77bay ]

hey rhys...stay away from sharkeys..bad, very bad. DEFINATELY GO TO CREATIVE Tattoo Art, Tom is a legend. The story is that they made one of the hygiene acts for NSW, thats impressive to me. Let us know how you go.

I agree, unless you want some extras thrown in then stay clear of sharkys...definately Creative is good, only had peircings there but very clean and friendly...

A tattoo is on your body forever!!! Don't worry about price, go to the one who will do the best job......

Check the current "Downunder tattoo art" magazine, page 21, the TIKI forearm is mine.
