    Well if you're not a newbie to tattoos, LOL, yeah, there is a hut in the resort that does henna etc, and if you want a real tattoo they will take you to a studio in town somewhere. Some English folk we met had one there, she said it was all clean and professional looking, and her tattoo was OK (not spectacular artwork), but for me (Biomedical Scientist) I wouldn't have a tattoo (I do have several) in a foreign country in a million years!

    Getting a Tattoo in mexico equals bad idea. Then on top it add an alcohol/sex infused atmosphere into it, I would bet the chances of getting home and having some regret would be pretty high

    A tattoo is a very personal experience and those of us that have them have different reasons for getting them.

    I have been tattooed in Mexico, but I followed the same rules I would have at home. I went to shop, looked at their portfolio, checked out their equipment and felt fine with all of it. I was even more impressed with their advice to wait until my last day to have it done. It wasn't something I didn't know, but was nice to hear they cared enough about their work and my satisfaction.

    I don't have any personal suggestions as to where to go ( mine wasn't done in Cancun), but it certainly wouldn't hurt to ask the TTR staff where they got theirs done.

    Here's a link to a facebook page https://www.facebook.com/kukulkantattoo
    They have Omar and the work they did for him on it ;)

    MY wife has been a school teacher for 28 years. This is the first year that the countys teacher handbook has a WHOLE page related to tatoos. Make sure they are in a "private area". Got similar feedback/advice about the nipple piercing!!!

    I think Nathan has both his sleeves finished now so he'd be a great person to ask also.

    As you've already got ink done I'll just assume you know how to look after them, when to get them and what to look for in a shop.
