Tattoo My Husband Had Done In Icmeler

[laura180306]

I'm always be a bit wary of getting a tattoo done over there, but that looks fab! Don't mean to be nosy but where did he get it done & how much did it cost?

Looks really good, although slightly pricey I think!

Was thinking of having one done when I'm over at the start of September...so I'll hunt this place down!

As much as that over here? I have one in the same place, possibly not as big but with more detail and it only cost me £75 in my regular tattoo parlour over here!

But yeah, I had planned on having it done on the last day anyway, I think we fly at something like 1am so I'll get it done before the transfer to the airport!

Something definitely looks slanty

Hi

We went to see Jim Carey, at Oscars on the main road in Icmeler just up from Wonderboys in May to ask about my daughters tattoo and met the young lady who is there.

Such a strange co-incidence but she comes from Colne which is near Nelson and Blackburn, she happens to have lived not far from my step daughter to be so her and my soon to be fiance were having a good old chin wag about the different places they had been and rembered. Small world or what!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Soory cannot think of her name but she is a great gal!!!)

My daughter had her tattoo done there on our last day and we have had no probs with it so would recommend this place without hesitation. I have a few tattoos done in Blackpool and they are not of the same quality that you get here

Looks really good, its always best to wait until the end of the holiday because you have to keep them out of the sun. I agree that compared to the ones my hubby has (all 5 of them) it is pretty pricey though, maybe they are expensive where you come from Rowdyangel?

my hubby from looking in that tattoo parlour next to Waterfall but after walking down a road and seeing another parlour where the guy was sat outside doing a tattoo on some young girls back (and with a ciggie hanging out of him mouth), hubby decided he'd wait as it was rather off putting but reading about the waterfall one, i think he would of been happy there.

I really don't think that £120 is that expensive. My husband had a large tribal design done on his arm, half of the size of the one on your hubby's back & it cost him £80! And that was about 4 years ago! Not too pricey at all I don't think

When my son was there in June, he had a tattoo done on the last day of the holiday. After he had it done he came to the bar to meet me and said his arm was on fire. Anyway he complained about it all the way home and when we arrived home on the Saturday morning his arm had swelled and was bright red.

He went to the walk in centre and they sent him straight to the A and E at the hospital, where he was admitted straight away and was kept in for a week. It turned out he had blood poisoning.

The infection had spread down his arm and up over his shoulder and was bright red. The doctor said that it was just as well he had come straight away as it could have been a lot worse. So just a word of warning if you are thinking of having a tattoo done abroad.

Where did he have the tattoo done? Just so we know where to avoid?

Please post up because I fly off tomorrow and was planning on getting one while I'm over there! I'll check on here at some point over the next 2 weeks! Thankyou!

He had it done in the one by the Waterfall. The girl in there and the man that did it were really nice and the shop was really clean. He doesn't blame them, I just think that he was unlucky.

The doctor at the hospital said because he has been in the sea, even though he had a shower before having the tattoo done there was still bacteria on the skin and when he had it done it entered the bloodstream and that is what caused it. He also said he had never seen and infection spread so quick.

He became a bit of a novelty in the hospital. The nurses used to come up to him and say 'oh you're the one who had the tattoo abroad'
