ARE THERE ANY TATTOO SHOPS IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC?
AND IF THERE IS DO THEY HAVE WEBSITES? I WILL BE TRAVELING TO THE DR IN A FEW MONTHS AND WANT TO GET MY TATTOO WILL I AM THERE.

I saw one in Sosua.It is a few blocks from the beach on the main strip on the right(as you walk toward the beach).I dont know how safe it is with the needles and all.You want to make sure it is sanitary because you can catch a number of things from needles(HIV,Hepatitis).Just be careful and check the place out first.

Yes, there is a tattoo shop in Sosua run by an expatriate. Seems to do a good business; have seen quite a few foreign visitors getting tattoos. It is on the main business street, easy to find.

Thanks everyone, I am always cautious when I am investigating a new shop. I do not just walk in and sit in the chair and get a tatttoo. I look for cleaniness, I look for sanitary. I want to feel comfortable befroe all. THANKS

I know the guy who runs the tatoo shop in Sosua. He comes from Montreal, Que. He started tatooing in Montreal and all his equipment comes from Canada. He told me he desinfects everything, he uses gloves...

I don't know much about tatoos but yes, many foreigners use his services. Must be reasonably good.
