I can only offer a warning. I had a pretty great tattoo made when I was here in january, daym cheap in comparison to back home. Ofcourse I made sure he used new needles, but..I guess he didnt use gloves, because I also got a nice bacteria in the bargain that it took four penicillin cures to get rid of.

I got the most amazing tattoos in the whole world done in Beijing. Go to the Mao Live House [a night club] and ask for information about "Angel" the tattoo artist. They can get you in contact with him. He is really amazing. I highly recommend him. Tell him I sent you. My name is William Stephanos from Tennessee in the US. He did two Tibetan style tattoos on me in the summer of 2007. I love them and get compliments from everyone, even other tattoo artists. He is truly a genius.
I got my latest one over at "united tattoo artist alliance" on super bar street. The gang there were really good and it was clean.. can't complain at all.
Thanks Man, Tibetan style tattoo sounds really will need to check out some of his designs that could be my next project… I also found a really great tattoo artist also clean too, his name is Shang Liang you can check out some of his blog;
I got on my arm Chinese style Golden fish coming up the arm then dragon coming from the behind the arm wrapping round coming down my arm, with some chinese characters, really f*cking amazing tattooist!

What kinda prices do you guys pay for tattoos? I'm looking to get a cover up done on a small one I have. It'll make it about 4 inches by 2 or so. I'm just goin for a hanzi, with maybe a bit of colour to make it pop.
Any ideas what range I should be getting price wise?
prices in beijing have sky-rocketed lately..as with the price of everything else in beijing and china
~ got a tattoo done 3 years ago by a really kick-ass guy for 300rmb/hour.. called him a couple months ago and now he's 700rmb/hour which i guess is standard for a good artist.. 500rmb is about the cheapest you'll get now ..not for a 'master' but just a run of the mill guy.. it's almost more expensive than back home!
~ but then again i got a huge tattoo in ChongQing 5 years ago..17hours it took and only cost 1500rmb (less than 100/hour)..but god it was crap and had to have the whole thing redone this year which cost me 2500..a g more than the original tattoo!!

I recently went to one tattoo artist to do a 35 + hours piece of work and obviously I looked at all the alternative in Beijing. In the end there was only 3 real artists in town where they draw themselves and then paste it on your body (I'm talking about the owner of the shop, not their workers).
The shop I went, I thought that the price was fair regarding the detailed piece of art, colors and time spent on the table.
First thing I looked into was hygiene before even looking into his past work.
Feeling is also important with the person, dialogue has to be relatively easy because it's important to talk about everything you feel you have to tell him. Some changes on the draft, does it hurt that bad? (it does not for 90% of your body.... but some parts are tricky!). And also simple conversation... 35 hours is long...
If you're looking into a real piece of art, they should be able to provide you samples of their previous work, and I'm not talking about pictures, which can be found on internet, but actual drawing on a piece of paper. This can't lie. During those 2 months it took, I saw his new pieces, his new drawings, made me confortable in my choice.

Around Beijing, ropey looking tattoos that have the appearance of being made by somebody’s mate with a not so sharp implement and a bottle of ink are often on show, making many people aware of the availability of crude tattoos.
