Quality Places To Get Tattoos In Ft. Lauderdale

By Bart Reno

When you are around a city that hosts hoards of folks for spring break every year, you are likely to understand that these cities never sleep. There is always something going on for the willing adventurer. With that being said, there is no shortage of tattoo shops either. But its easy for you head to start spinning when you grasp what your possibilities are in terms of the shops there in Ft. Lauderdale. You have to educate yourself before you just head into any old place. I will introduce you to some of the better Fort Lauderdale tattoo shops.

Many tattoos have been created at the spur of the moment bravery that comes with large groups of people and strange locations. But you have to keep this in mind: If you think you are getting an incredible deal, you likely aren't. With tattoos you pay for experience.

With this being said I can get into what tattoo shops you should check out if you are looking to get your first tattoo, or add to you ink in Ft. Lauderdale.

The first to be mentioned is a bit of a legend amongst the Ft. Lauderdale area, and all of Florida to be precise. Tatts Taylor Tattoo is the name of the shop, but it more represents the man behind the shop, Tatts Taylor. His dedication to the art landed him in some hot water in the seventies, but it paved the way for the art to come as far as it has now, and for it to be as accepted as it is. This commitment to the art lives on in his shop along the beach of Ft. Lauderdale. While Tatts himself died in 2000, his work lives through the skilled hands that comprise his highly regarded shop.

It's not easy to win a best of category when you are a relatively smaller shop. Well, in 2005 Babylon Tattoo won "Best of 2005" for their commitment to quality work in the Ft. Lauderdale area. While they are not exactly beach side, the store sits comfortably in a city that hugs the beach, so nothing is a considerable drive. If you are looking for experience and reasonable pricing, look no further. In addition, Babylon offers piercing options for its customers, which creates even more of a draw of traffic.

The final place to be thrown out there is Studio 954. The folks here have all been tattooing for a while, yet the shop is relatively new. All of the artists push out really quality art, and while they all have their preferences in the styles, they can all produce stellar results. You should check out the shop a little more at www.studio954.com, there you would see bios of the artists and see some of the work that has been done there.

So there are plenty of places to get ink done. There aren't plenty of places that are sold out to tattooing like this group of shops is. They are all good places to check out if you are considering a tattoo around Fort Lauderdale.
