I may get in to trouble for this review…read more.... But I can't help it; I don't rate these guys too highly. I booked in a tattoo with Bad Apples when they had just opened, and was hoping for better service than I received. Over the phone they seemed friendly enough while taking the booking, but actually getting to the shop my friend and I were sent down the road to a different building that had no signage (which I'm assuming is because they don't want anyone to know about the stark room where they actually perform the tattooing), as the main store only does piercing. Which is too bad because the main store looks amazing. Where my tattoo was performed was not; it was clean but very depressingly empty. I showed the artist my design, a very, very simple outline of a much beloved character from my childhood, to be placed on the inner heel of my right foot. The artist looked at it, shrugged, made an outline and asked, 's'allright?' And that was pretty much the extent of our conversation. My tattoo went (painfully) fine, but then if she had messed up a simple outline, I'd probably go apocalypse on her. Meanwhile my friend asked for a bumblebee design to be made up for her tattoo from a few pictures she had brought in. The artist drew up a bee (which looked alarmingly similar to the pictures already brought in. No points for creativity) and my friend had it tattooed on. About 7 months later, we noticed the ink has begun to 'bleed.' Not a fan guys, tattoos are for life and the experience is part of the memory. I've had better experiences in dodgy parlours in south east Asia.

I don't know what Kayla G is talking about who left a 2 star review for these guys???…read moreThe service I received was great. I booked via email, and got a response and date confirmation almost straight away. The shop front DID lead to the rest of the studio, you walked out back into a large room with 3 chairs, nicely finished, well lit and decorated, nothing dingy. The tattoo artist who did my work had great attention to detail, and re placed the stencil multiple times until we were both happy, with him even suggesting to reposition it a few times picking up on things I wouldn't have noticed. The tattoo was fast and pain free, and he spent time talking through all the care for the tattoo. Overall it was a really good experience, and I look forward to going back again.

Westside Tattoo has been around since 1998, and one of the best known tattoo shop in Brisbane. They…read morehave just recently moved to bigger and better premises on Hardgrave Road, and the shop is really amazing! The walls are covered with gorgeous pieces of artwork by the resident artists. All of the artists are often heavily booked, so be sure to phone up to book your consultation. Perhaps you could chance it and walk in during a weekday, but you might be waiting a while. They don't have credit card or EFTPOS facilities here, it's just cash. But there is an ATM down at the corner shop if you forgot to get money out beforehand. I've been to see Lily for 3 tattoos and a touch up and I really love her work. Check out their website for artist galleries, so you can get a feel for their individual styles. Westside Tattoo also offers laser tattoo removal.

The microdermabrasion service was very professional and relaxing. The specialist talked me through…read morethe whole process and educated me about skin care and different vitamins and minerals that can help improve results of this service. As far as the service provided I would rate this spa well. But...I had a 9am appointment and I sat in the lounge for 35 minutes until it saw anyone and my treatment did not start until 9:50 because the specialist who I was scheduled to see didn't show up to work on time. So suffice to say, my little red face was late for work.

Valley Ink is located in the middle of the Valley Mall in Fortitude Valley. The shop recently…read morerelocated there and is a pretty swish establishment if you are looking to get inked or pierced. The studio is big, bright and unlike other tattoo shops that can look seedy and hide behind closed doors, you can watch the artists at work through the glass shop front. Piercings however, are still done behind the scenes as are the more private placings of tattoos. There are a few talented artists to choose from and their work is well publicised on their Facebook and website pages so picking your artist can be just as hard as picking that perfect tattoo! Prices are average for tattoos with the minimum being $100.00 or $170 per hour but it is best to head in and get a consultation done so they can help you match up with the artist who best suits your needs. The shop is open 7 days a week from 10:00am till late, they do bookings and can also help out walk ins as best as they can, and the gang are happy, helpful and generally pretty cool people! Plus they dont mind a party and occasionally have one in the studio, DJ and all! If you are looking for some quality ink or a good price for a piercing, definitely check them out.
