Dejavu Tattoo

Let me tell you about my experience...

At first I was sceptic about getting a tattoo in Thailand, but everything went smooth!

Me and my friend went to Déjàvu Tattoo (inside the moat, near Heaven Beach)-- here they charge you
2000 B an hour (Nov 2007).

The tattooists are locals who do regulars and bamboo tattoos.

I got three tattoos while I was in Chiang Mai:

  • Butterfly

  • Ankle tattoo with stars, moons and leafs

  • Starfish on my foot

What`s a bamboo tattoo

It means that a tattoo is made by using a thin piece of bamboo with needles attached to it. Bamboo tattoing will usually reduce blood and pain because bamboo artists just puncture your skin.

This also means that your bamboo tattoo will heal faster...

To me, the pain was different from machine tattoing - it felt like a bee was stinging me a hundred times!

But if I had to choose between bamboo or machine, I`d picked the bamboo. I prefer less pain!

I got a bamboo tattoo of a starfish on my foot over a year ago and the tattoo hasn`t cracked yet...this tells a lot about the duration of bamboo tattoos!

My Swedish friend got two beautifully executed tattoos: She already had a tribal tattoo on her left arm, but she wanted to get rid of it. So she wanted to replace it with green leafs -- snaking around her arm.

Her second tattoo was more painful -- he tattooed some flowers across her back. She`s one of strongest people I know of -- but I remember that I had to bring her a bottle of Samsong from across the street, so she could sedate the pain. But at the end of the day, she was so happy about it!

I recommend this place because they have a clean studio and professional tattoo artists who can draw for you.

In my opinion, they do excellent work. Compared to the tattoos I got in Norway, their work was flawless.

And on top of that, I enjoyed their service -- they can give your tattoo that little extra.

If you`re interested and want to take a look in their tattoo albums, you can visit their studio on Rachaweethee Rd.

Beauty parlors and dentists

Beauty parlours and barber salons can be found scattered around the city. Many of them are inside the moat. You can get a one-hour Thai massage for 200 B, manicure and pedicure for around 70 B.

Dental clinics is not rare in this town as I found two clinics along Th Moon Muang. I went to a dental clinic and a tooth cleanse cost me 500 B. I also saw another dental clinic advertising for tooth whitening: around 7000-8000 B.
