Where is the best place to get a tattoo in Santiago?

 

[DJames]

Not body part but artist. Haha

DR Mortiis, Rua de San Pedro 62
IMO

I had mine done at https://www.instagram.com/noratattoocompostela/ Try to book a couple of days in advance, I got lucky and they had a timeslot available same day.

I too used Nora Tattoo. Clean, professional, and well priced. Mine wasn’t overly complex, but did reflect my my feelings having walked the Camino at 62 with hopefully many more in my future. As stated above, worth making a reservation a few days out from Santiago.

I got my beautiful shell tattoo in sagradocorazontattoo Rua Nova 50 in SdC
They were so lovely. Very patient and attentive and professional.

Like the quote. 60 this year and 2nd Camino in mayo.

Sagrada Corazon Tattoo was great! I'll go there again!

I’ve had one done by Dr Mortice Tattoo Clinic in SdC, on Rua de San Pedro - you’ll pass him if you walk in from Sarria. Very good.

 

[DJames]

Thank you all for recommendations. Maybe one from each!?!

Sacrada Corazon - Make an online reservation with Daniel. I have been there a total of 3 times now and he has never failed me yet...

As others have said Sacrada Corazon. The price is definitely negotiable. It was my first time getting a tattoo so i can't compare experiences. I am happy with the outcome but felt they pushed me to get a larger tattoo than I envisioned. They had valid reasons (that also could have been to justify a higher fee).

Another vote for Sagrada Corazon. One of the best tattoo experiences I've had anywhere (and I have had several.) They actually convinced me to get a smaller/simpler tattoo than the one I was thinking of, and recommended that it be kept an outline since filling it in would have cost more and had a longer healing time (I still had four days of walking to Fisterra ahead of me.) I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. It's definitely on the simpler side but along with my credencials it's one of my most cherished souvenirs of my Camino.

Being a newbie to tattoos, what would be a reasonable price in SdC for a simple one like yours/

I believe this was ca. 100 euro, plus tip. (Always tip your tattoo artist!)

HI!
Sagrada Corazon had a minimum charge of 50 euros for anything they do! (for example a single word)
You probably won't get as small a tattoo as you intend ;unless you know exactly what you want cos there are so many to choose from and may spend quite a bit more!
Just a tip as you are having your first Tattoo avoid a Napoleon or any other boney part ; less pain!! (I'm a wuss, pain and me don't mix)


Just to give a ball park figure in 2021 mine in the post above was 200 euros(about £170) for the size; and the fact they know you want it done in Santiago probably ups the price a bit!
Just to add my daughter had an upper arm tattoo of a similar size as mine done in Leeds (UK) with a bit more detail than mine 4 months ago it cost her £700!
So Sagrada Corazon perhaps is more reasonable in price than you would think!

Never mind the where and the when and the what, does it bloody hurt?!!

 

[woody66]

Is the above a serious question ????
Or is it just humour?? (i sense it is )

But if this is a genuine ask!

Your first tattoo don't fret you will be fine
It's uncomfortable would be the best answer and as a committed life long wuss i would have stopped at the first one!
Best way to deal with it;just keep talking to the guy doing it ;takes your mind of it!
