East Coast Tattoo Shops "" Ft. Lauderdale

By Bart Reno

Finding fun things to do in Fort Lauderdale shouldn't exactly be all that hard. The city itself is a sought out spring break location, as well as just a getaway for many folks. So certainly there would be no shortage of places you could go to mark the occasion in a very permanent way. So many tattoo shops litter the streets of this beach side community, and it's hard to say who is the best and who you should avoid. I hope to add some clarity here by providing you with a list of the best 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 should be Tatts Taylor Tattoo. Tatts Taylor has been a tattoo guru amongst the citizens of Florida and beyond since sometime in the seventies. He paved the way for a lot of the way that tattooing is widely accepted now. Tatts started in Miami, but found a better home for his shop in Ft. Lauderdale. While he died in 2000, Tatts Taylor's commitment to excellence and his passion for the art survive through his shop. You will find the same level of quality and reasonable prices that was the bar for a better part of close to 40 years.

When you are small shop servicing the grand city of Ft. Lauderdale, you simply don't expect to win anything, let alone a "Best of" award. For the group that makes up Babylon Tattoo, though, they were delighted to win "Best of 2005" for their commitment to their customers. They create quality work, no matter how extensive and do so at a reasonable cost to the customers. You can also come away with a piercing if you are feeling really frisky and happen to darken the doorways of Babylon.

The last place to be discussed is Studio 954. While they haven't been a shop since the mid 70s, everyone has to start somewhere. Studio 954 is comprised of very talented artists who do very good work for a price that doesn't leave you broke with three more days to spend at the beach. To get a little more information about Studio 954, you can check them out at their website www.studio954.com, and there you can learn a little more about the artists and their artwork.

You have no shortages in options when considering where in Ft. Lauderdale to get a tattoo. Hopefully, these shops will assist you in raising the bar of your expectations, so you can leave with a really great tattoo that you are proud to display. - 30329
