Austhaied Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Cheers Aus,What the prices like? You had any? Good traditional Thai stuff? A few mates have had work done there and were very happy. They had more of a traditional Japanese dragon/yakuza type theme..Prices very good, compared to Bkk and Singapore and the like.. He does a lot of Buddhist / Hidhu / Lan Na Thai type stuff.. I am looking at getting a cover up done on a 21 year old tatt. Tell you what ,you go first ,if he does a good job on you I'll go next... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bananaman Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 This guy does good work LBG. http://thaimagictattoo.com/ I can heartily recommend Poom of Magic Tattoo, he's a friend of mine and I've directed many a visitor to him and never heard of a single dissatisfied customer. He was a practicing artist long before he got into tatooing so you can rest assured he's got the hand skills and aint one of those kids who got into it cos "it's cool".

Crow Boy Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Hiya All,I am looking to get a new tattoo when in Chiang Mai. I would like some traditional art work. Could someone please advise of a clean, hygenic and GOOD artist who has a business in Chiang Mai area? Thanks All Ning at Side Road Tattoo (Th. Loi Kroh, Soi #1) opposite the Number 1 bar is very good. He does neat, clean work with good colour. His machines are imported from the UK and uses inks from Micky Sharps so you will get REAL tattoo ink not the potentially lethal stuff that is used to colour plastics. He has his own autoclave and everything is sterilised properly. He is the only artist I have seen here who uses plastic covers on his machines, leads, and lines which is standard practice overseas but not here. Ning is NOT cheap but if you are looking for an experience and talented artist he is someone to check out. I always say if you want quality work be prepared to pay for it, there are a lot of cheap and nasty scratchers out there using dangerous techniques and bad quality inks. I don't have the photos of my tattoo on this computer but if you are interested will bring them in on the flash drive from home tomorrow. Good luck - btw if you think getting bamboo hurts - don't even think about getting one done in New Zealand or Samoa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crow Boy Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Also thinking about it there are: Ugly on Loy Kroh - opposite CM Saloon - he does a lot of tatoos and is very popular but when I was looking for some work to be done he started to tell me what he would do not listen to what I wanted him to do. It was a mix of personality that didn't gell so I didn't use him. He saw my back one day and got really pissed that I had gone somewhere else and started to tell me how much I got ripped off etc. Pity because I have heard good things about him from others. Go see him and make your own decision. Nong - in Tapae Road - he operates out of a tourist shop but if you walk just up the Tapae road from the gate (Canyon Coffee on the LH side) about 100m he is in there. He is very fast but does good work. He may have moved around the corner onto the moon muang road but I am not sure, if I go past I will check it out. Speaks good English. Near there on the outside of the moat close to the Arun Restaurant is another one. I have heard good reports from them but never seen any of their work. The shop seems to be always closed but has a telephone number on the sign outside. Give them a call if you are interested. On Kamphaeng Din off Loy Kroh there are three - turn left and one is just down the road about 20m another further on (both on the RHS of the road - nearest the canal). Other direction is another Ning - I think the name "Ning" is to tattoos what "Mike" is to burgers - he is almost at the end of the block as you walk down LHS next to a farung bar (basically only farung bar amongst the Thai ones). Again I don't know his work. Last one for the moment is up on the same floor as the Cinemas on Central Plaza. He seems to do mainly local Thais so I have no idea of his work or skill. He does seem to be busy which is always a good sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crow Boy Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Ok guys - front up - show us your tatts Seeing as how I started this "show us ya tats" I had better put up or shut up This started out as a small (3cm square) eagle on my right shoulder when I was eighteen years old. I was in the Army in Townsville - we got paid and it was the first night off base where I could legally drink. We had 3 Bundy and Coke at the Railway and went to the tattoo shop next door - always a good combination. Since then it has kinda grown but I can still honestly say I only have the ONE tatoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The back and butt both done by Ning at Side Road - believe me you need to REALLY trust someone when you are lying face down with your bare arse being tattooed for 8 hours (2 sessions) My Left shoulder was done in the States - it is a cover up and the guy who did it (San Fransisco) was VERY expensive and HIGHLY recommended in the US tattoo magazines. It is a tiger and the work underneath shows through which means I will have to get some laser removal done on parts of it to then get it redone. Ning will do that for me. The work done underneath was in London and celtic knotwork. The work was very good but the associated memory isn't so I didn't want it anymore. I have two celtic armbands that were done by Kiwi Kim in Sydney before she became a junkie. Right shoulder is and Eagle/Dragon combination and done by in Japan. I had wanted to get my back work done there but it was going to cost nearly AU$60,000 to do it and meant I had to pay up front plus go back to Japan three times. It is traditional style with hand tools so it is a "softer" look than the normal machine work. The colouring and shading is much more subtle. Even so it cost AU$2,000!. It is too big to load up here so I am trying to convert it to a smaller file first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
