Tattoo In Tahiti Suva or Noumea..Crazy?

Hello,

I'm taking a Trans-Pacific at the end of this summer and I am considering getting a tattoo during the trip. Ports where I may have the free time to do this are Papeete, Suva, and Noumea.

Has anyone gotten a tattoo in any of these places? I'm just wondering if it is safe and reasonably priced and things like that.

May just be a silly romantic idea.

I don't know about the Fijis and New Caledonia, only about Tahiti. They do island specific tattoos. I saw an artist on the second floor of the market hall in downtown Papeete. There must be other artists. Personally I wouldn't do this because I read that you have to protect tattoos from sun and water for a while.

Ummm, I'd say NO!

JMHO,

Or kind of like those people returning from Mexico to airports in cold climes, with those huge sombreros...except this is not something you can just leave, forgotten, in the basement after the thrill has worn off....maybe get one of those great tiki statues instead?

CDC recommends a Hepatitis B shot if you are thinking about a tattoo there.
