Absolutions have a very good reputation.
Heard nothing but good about Southern Ink as well and they have done all my facial piercings. I'm going down to Timaru to 4 Skin in a couple of weeks to get some done by a man by the name of Russ. My sister is a friend of his and I've seen some of his work which was flawless even with white ink which is notorious.

Did you end up getting another tat?

I've recently gone & got a couple done & after asking around went to Downunder & had Steve's son Kelly do mine, Daniel also has had a couple done - he paid :lol:

What do you guys and girls get tattooed? Ive always wanted one over my shoulders and across my back but have never really known what i wanted, i dont want some tribal one that every one seems to get, do you design your own or just choose something out of a book?

Hey

I got one from the internet - a NZ Fern with half being an irish knot design & on my upper arm. The other I suppose looks like a tribal arm band but is again an Irish / Celtic knot design I copies from a signet ring I have.

A couple of hours each st $250 - 2nd $300.

My son Daniel has the Michael Campbell 95pinehurst golf open shirt(back) design - a Maori design of a hammer head shark which he had done on his back for $400

I'll probably get another done at some stage

hell yeah it went up, its only 7cm long and it was $100. not complicated at all just plain writing,

im not complaining as the lines are really tight and straight and came out perfect, but i figured it'd be $50 or something,
well, better to pay more for quality then get wrong spelling or AIDS!!
