I am interested in recommendations for a shop, too.Does anyone know a tattoo shop in Santiago that he trusts? I want to do a tattoo when I arrive there ( instead of doing it when I return home) but I would like to go to a place that someone will suggest...so it's safe, clean ect ect......otherwise I will do it at the shop that I usually go back home....but the idea of doing there excites me more
Ivar maybe you know better since you are there)))

OK, these are the two that were recommended. It was a fb group I saw it on...either APOC or maybe Camino Tattoos? I can't remember which one.
Thank you for the tips.I have planed to do a tattoo after I´ve done my walk Santiago-Finesterre-Muxia-(Finesterre-)Santiago. I don´t want to miss the oportunity to take a swim in the ocean after that long walk from SJPdP. I just can´t make up my mind where to put it. Then I start to think about how a tattoo is going to look on different places of the body as the years goes by But naa, that ageing thing isn´t going to happen for me
When we got to Santiago, my friend got tattoos on both her lower legs - the cross of St. James. She had them done at the Sagrado Corazon, and we were impressed by the professionalism, the sanitary conditions, and the care taken. This shop is actually near Ivar's place.Does anyone know a tattoo shop in Santiago that he trusts?

I love white tattoos, but I hear they don't last long. My shop here at home refuses to do them because of it.One pilgrim had Blackline do a white tattoo of a scallop shell on her arm. I think there was a special term for "white tattoo" but it escapes me now...(??). But it was really cool!
A very valid concern! As we age it becomes apparent that Mr. Gravity is no longer our friend! It is with that idea in mind I chose my shoulder blade: not much is going to affect it there!

You just read my mind, it´s the same place I have been thinking of, but the only negative, I cant see it. Option #2 is on the ancle..A very valid concern!

I had no idea that they didn´t last so long. Then I can rule a white tattoo out. So now my options are in a black/grey scale or in a brown tone. Behind the ear is nice, now I maybe have to do more than one.I love white tattoos, but I hear they don't last long. My shop here at home refuses to do them because of it.

Picture?I'm all about color. You can add beautiful color to a black line tattoo. I have very bright green leaves on my orange blossom behind my ear, but the shading (an orange blossom is white) is gray scale.
Any special style?Will get a "buen camino" on my left (writing) arm.
Maybe something like this.. Does it work?

Yellow like nicotine fingersAND due to ones skin the "white" quickly turns yellow. Like people who has nicotine fingers from years of smoking. considered one and my local tattoo shop won't do it either. But glad she told me before I got one.
We (my walking partner and I) actually got our "scallop shell" tattoos in Leon, Spain, so they would be completely healed by the time we reached Santiago. We found a place called "Tattoo Mo-Gul" and they did a great job, at a great price. If you decide to get one sooner, that certainly would be one recommendation.Does anyone know a tattoo shop in Santiago that he trusts?

I confess that I know nothing about tattooing.... But! I will have one day free in SdeC at the conclusion of my next walk. If, just if, I wanted to get a simple Cruz de Santiago tattoo done, could that be done in one day? And what might the fee be?
I had mine done in 45 minutes and it cost me $60 USD. So well worth it since I "earned" my tattoo by completing my 3rd. Camino.I confess that I know nothing about tattooing.... But!

I knew people who were very happy with their tattoos and I went to the same tattoo parlour. They were very patient, friendly and did a great job. It was called Black Line but I don't know the address.Does anyone know a tattoo shop in Santiago that he trusts?

Where are your shells tattooed? I have heard not to put anything on my feet if I still have walking to do....
I have a 2 small tattoos. One on each foot. Had it done at the same time as they recommend that you don't wear any closed shoes for about 14 days. I lived in flip-flops.
One is on my back heel and she warned me it would fate quickly. She was right. As you wear shoes and the friction of socks it fate quickly the lower they are. Mine is quite low.
The other is further up on the side of my foot and the colour is better there Still loves them both.

Sorry for the late reply! We got the tattoos on the inside of our wrists (right hand, but doesn't really matter).Where are your shells tattooed? I have heard not to put anything on my feet if I still have walking to do....
