What are the good places in Melbourne to go to now?

I'm looking to get a quite detailed back piece done and obviously need someone who is up to the task.

I'm going to get a Chinese symbol tat because I want to me cool and original

Sick man, mine stand for family, pride, commitment, and loyalty

My sister passed away a couple of years ago, so I want her name and middle name with some angel wings or something similar. I wanted it on my shoulder to start with, then my forearm, now lately i've been thinking hard about getting it from collarbone to collarbone.

Get this. If journos won't hire you, you can always become a rugby league player

No seriously, get it on your ****. Won't be seen it in a job interview and the only people who will see it will be future girlfriends who will definitely ask why you have your ex-girlfriend's name tattooed on your ****. Won't be awkward at all when you explain it's your sister's name either.

Look at instagram and facebook

there is also a convention at Jeff's shed in early november which is quite good, find someone that specialises in what you want done

The really good ones are booked out 6months+ in advance though

If you can't decide where you want it and you're worried about what people will think about it my suggestion is don't get it.

Cheers for that. I presumed all the good artists would have a long waiting list, I'm not really bothered by that as I've already waited 2 years to see if I even want to go through with it.

Shakey Bill in St.Albans, if he is still around?

My brother got a tatto from shakey bill in the late 70's early 80's absolute shocker.
It is a skull on his bicep and when he was doing it Bill had his hand on the lower part of the bicep, pusing it up. As soon as he took his hand away the bicep dropped, aong with the skulls jaw...

6. ST MICHAEL, THE ARCHANGEL
"That whole sleeve down my arm is a good verses evil theme. My dad's name is Michael and I really like the picture. I actually got that tattoo years ago and it was only the top half of my arm. But then I got the possessed girl with the devil horns down the bottom part of my arm. So that's how it sort of ties in. Emma did the bottom half but the top half was done five years ago by another dude who worked at Unique but he left. This was actually before I was getting a lot of tattoos and before I met Emma.''

9. SHARK
``I go through stages where I just want ferocious looking things on me so that's where the shark came from. But it also coincided with Shark Week, believe it or not. Anyway I was watching Shark Week quite a bit so I thought `gee, sharks are sick and so I'm 100 per cent getting a shark'. I spoke to Em and I had one done the next week.

10. BEARDED MAN
"This guy, he is sick. He's like a God-like figure with the beard because I'm obviously really into beards and he's got THUG written in his head but he's smoking a pipe and got a monocle so he's also a bit of a gentleman. That was just a picture I saw and thought `that is awesome, I need that on me'. I wasn't even looking for a tattoo at the time.

"I think I was on Instagram and this image popped up and it was when I was starting to grow my beard and he had a wicked beard. The picture I saw was similar but Emma changed it a bit. Plus I wanted the monocle put in so he looked a bit more like a gentleman. I honestly don't know why I got THUG written on him. I wanted him to have a face tattoo, but I wasn't sure what.

"Anyway, the day before Emma said `what word do you want him to say?' and, for some reason, THUG was the first thing that came into my mind and so I got her to put that in.''
