Tattoo recommendations in Manhattan

I know this is a weird thing to post here but I'm coming to New York next week, I've wanted to get a tattoo for years & have finally decided on my design & am ready to take the plunge. I want to get it while in NY so that I can get it done in a city that actually means something to me.

Clearly there are many places to get a tattoo in Manhattan so could anyone suggest somewhere good, clean etc with a good reputation?

Thanks in advance.

And I certainly wouldn't get one out of town on the reccomendations of strangers. Surely you must know someone in your town that could reccommend a local place? Where you can be sure you feel comfortable there as well.

And it will likely be a helluva lot cheaper.

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

I find that the best rule of thumb is to notice tattoos on other people, and when you see those that you like, ask where they had them done.

That's what I did.

Also, some tattoo artists will do free (or discounted) touch ups as things fade and settle. You don't want to have to make a trip to NYC to do that every time you want maintenance.

Art has a double face, of expression and illusion.

If I can name drop for a second, I was speaking to Janeane Garofalo about getting a tat and she made me promise if/when I do that I use a place right next to Katz Deli. I can't think of the name but I'm sure there can't be too many right there.
