Oh Dear! 😮
And is the house of tattoos good for hygiene?
And how do I know if they break open all sterile equiptment and use disposable needles and ink pots? What exactly is an autoclave and spore count? Sorry I am not that knowledgable about the equiptment used…
I sent out a few emails to a few studios, have been talking to Upper Ten Tattoos, Lab 360 and King Ferry from Amsterdam Tattoo Palace. Any knowledge on these? All of them seem to have tattoo permits from the local health service. If that means anything…
Hi
Not been to them personally when i hit Amsterdam it is usually to kick back and relax with a smoke 😉
That said checking the hygiene of the place is not difficult. If in doubt walk out.
Health permits are a good sign which means that the studio has been checked but never let that be the only check you do – you want to see the needles etc being opened up from sterile packets.
The autoclave is a machine that looks a bit like an oven they use these to sterilise the metal parts of the tattoo machine. Grips and tubes etc.
The main thing is that you ask them and see them break open the equipment rather than already having it loaded up before you step in.
Remember no carpets or soft furnishings you want hard surfaces that have been wiped down with antibacterial solution.
Take Care

Okay:D
Now i am well nervous! 🙁
And what is the spor count?
How do I tell if the equiptment has been through the auto clave or not?
Also a general question about Europe; Whats the average estimate hourly rate going?
Basically what is expensive and what is reasonable?
And whats your beliefs on going to different parlors to get different parts of a tatt done? As I will always be on the move and don’t have time to wait the 2 or 3 weeks healing before I can get more ink on the tatt. However I was thinking that different Studios will have different equiptment and would that show up if on a tattoo?
Thanks.
Also have you heard of Classic ink and mods in Amsterdam?

Hey man.
If you’re in London pop down and see me in Brixton. My studio is called Sacred Ink. I own the studio and tattoo there every day, so the style of work is consistent not like other studios with guest artists coming and going.
Check some of my work out here or visit my website http://www.sacredink.co.uk
cheers

Can someone answer these for me at least? 😀
And martmorr; I’ll be in London around October/November, so i will try and swing by!:)
and matthew; i’m in Paris for the next three months and want a studio to go to here.
also i will be traveling to amsterdam, spain, italy and germany.
i want to get a tattoo from each country or have each country contriute to a tattoo.
so when i do decide to return to australia i can have a memento from each country i visited.
also i am looking for a competitively priced studio, i know cheap aint good and good aint cheap, however i dont want cheap, i want a competitively priced one 😀
Just a travelling advice:
If you go to Spain, Barcelona is a must see, its a beautiful city. If you go to Germany, don’t miss out on Berlin, Munich is also highly recommendable. I’m currently looking into tattoo artists in Berlin as well, if I find someone I really like I’ll let you know.
