Hi All
Cant speak for any in Zurich but can recommend two in Baar and Zug if you get stuck
There is one in Seebach that seems to always be busy...don't know the name offhand but can look for you tomorrow when I go past.
I'd recommend Giahi in predigerplatz. My advice is still DO NOT try to save money on that bit, after all you might be stuck with something really nasty...the best guy I've seen working in Zurich is not there anymore, but his replacement should be good. For piercing ask for Mauri, tattoo ask who came to replace Alemao...I doubt it will be as good cos the guy was reeeally good, but it will probably be good too. They have more than 1 store in Zurich, I only know the predigerplatz one....
I was going to recommend this but couldn't find the address and their websitr seems to be off line - its part of the Giahi chain as Paulina has recommended
My husband got a tattoo done there in the summer. Very helpful friendly and professional service. Can highly recommend. It's on Schaffhauserstrasse in Seebach
Regarding the one in Seebach, if its the one I think, its more closer to Oerlikon. Its called Gecko Tattoo.
There was one right in Seebach but I have not seen it in a while so it might have closed.
One another note, does anyone know how much a tattoo costs roughly, like for a smallish one, simple black/white design?
no that's further up this one is in Seebach and is called Giahi
My husbands cost about 300CHF for a smallish one with a bit of colour - that included the design to cover up an old one
Wow, they must have seen him coming How small is smallish? Mine is about 5" square with lots of colour for about 400chf.
It's about 6" x 3" with quite a bit of detailing and shading plus the design to cover an old tattoo - i thought it was pretty good value really.
I seem to remember it was around 250 to 300 francs (not sure exactly)
It's not really possible to estimate the price like this, it's not a lot about the size and colours only but the design. For instance written stuff is usually more expensive than drawings if you want a really nice caligraphy. It all ends up on what kind of service you want, I'm sure you can find cheap ones but by the end of the day if it's messed up you'll be the one stuck with it. They charge per design or hours, for instances big tattoos at giahi used to be chf500 per block of 4 hours, and how much you can have done in 4 hours depends really on how detailed is drawing and -sorry for that- how much of a sissy you are... the painting itself is the easiest part on my opinion...I really would only go back to them, they did a perfect job, if you go there look for livia, and ask her who's the guy who replaced Alemao, I'm sure you'll be in good hands...
On a side note, if this is your first tattoo, watch out, they're quite addictive...but I truly love mines!
Yeah thats true!! i have 3 so far..nothing big.. but i can never explain to others why i want a couple more...
Thanks for all your posts. I got one near Schilren Banhof which costs me for 160 CHF. He has so many designs basic small designs are starting from 40CHF onwards. If any one needs the address i can post you
