Home decor your on your own, but I am sure you'll manage...

As to the tattoo, I guess I would have to say the shop on the same road as All Nations bar and guesthouse, just up the road a bit toward Petchkasem. It is run by a German dude and his wife (Thai, I believe). He's definately got the experience and he's a farang with the necessary equipment. It's a clean shop. That being said, he's a bit of pikey when it comes to assessing the price, his thinking is to try and get as much as he can for each tat, so be warned. Finally, it is also likely if you have an easy or simple tattoo that he will pass you off to his lesser experienced wife...

If you are not getting a mural from the Sisteen Chapel on your back you could also consider a Thai tattooist, they can be good as long as the work isn't to intricate. (Sometimes even if it is..). There is a Thai guy who has a little shop in the bazaar area between Bernie's Bar and Billy's. I have heard he is decent, clean and talented; just check out his work before you commit...

Best of luck, enjoy!

never get a tattoo in thailand for risk of hepititis ...unless you are absolutly sure the needles have been sterilised (and have seen that done!) every travel guide says so for one and I also know of a friend whos mother died recently ( she was healthy all her life and went to asia had one injection in a cheap clinic and that was that...... ) be safe!!

I've seen shit artists in the USA that only work off 'flash' only, then do a crap job and I've seen parlours in London that will tattoo an underage kid. I have seen 'studio's' in Southend - on - Sea that you would not use as a kennel ...

FFS Those comments go for ANYWHERE in the world ...

End of rant ...

Thank God.

Those comments go for ANYWHERE in the world ...

Indeed. Thus, making it good advice. While you may already know everything Kokney, the person posting this question obviously wanted some direction.

ATAdmin,

Why specify Thailand and the Thais if you agree the comments are for general advise ?

3 posts and you insult Germans Thais and try to be clever shortening my handle to 'Kockney' ...

Good start mate keep up the good work !

Hi Call_meDaddy57,

Thank goodness you didn't ask a question about piercings!

There has been some advice given above regarding tattoo shops in Hua Hin and about tattooing in general. Most of it good!

Crap standards apply anywhere in the world, but it is particularly important to get a local view (or two).

I wonder if Bangkokney knows ATAdmin? It is unfortunate that he had edited one of his posts after a response was given -

Don't know Bangkokney, but he seems like a real hoot so far.

I specified Thais be cause we are in Thailand and it is applicable; specified German, because aforementioned owner is German. I fail to see how this is how this is insulting..? I also disagree that it was intended to "slag off" or insult anyone... Stop being so damned sensitive (you bloody limey!) joking, joking...

Finally, remember - I could have changed your screen name to Kockey instead of Kokney...

Cheers!

Thought you were a Brit to start with using terms Like 'Pikey'.

Don't act the innocent, it's obvious your whole post is made up with a derogatory slant ...

Finally, remember - I could have changed your screen name to Kockey instead of Kokney...

Pots and kettles spring to mind ...

Somebody on a power trip flexing his Johnny come lately virtual cyber muscles ?

Lev : looks very much like you've got somebody on board that is going to undo all your hard work ...

PeteB,

I edited grammar and spelling ...

Yes I have met ATAdmin, what of it ?

Why did you mention piercings do you know me ?

Post by **Lev** » Thu Jul 01, 2004 3:14 pm

Lets try and keep this on topic kids, before it turns into a flame war.

Post by **ATAdmin** » Thu Jul 01, 2004 3:18 pm

Not a Brit, sorry.

I am innocent actually; it was just your sensitivity that allowed you to get all namby-pamby with your knickers in a bind.

Most importantly as to your last post, how is it that my [highly informed and witty] posts are going to undue all of Lev's hard work exactly? Me thinks you need to exercise your techno-muscle a wee bit.

Lav's right...

Daddio: Tattoos in Thailand can be safe, clean and well crafted, but be sure how to evaluate a shop and its artists...

Bangkokney: Ease up on the anti-nationlistic rhetoric. Mai bpen rai; sabaii, sabaii...

...and i am sorry i opened up a big can of worms

i have seen the tattoo shop mentioned before but it has been closed for awhile now ?? low season me thinks? i will suss out the one near bazzar. thanks again all

Post by **ATAdmin** » Thu Jul 01, 2004 3:28 pm

Closed?!? Hmmm, hadn't noticed recently. I know he remodeled the place a few months back but I thought he was open. It is entirely possible that he is closed for low-season I guess...

BTW: No worries, me and Bangkokney were just hving a little fun... Right?
