There are some people on here that were talking about tattoo shops in Key West. It seems like it was about 6 months ago.

There are 2 on Duvall St. now. Paradise Tattoo & Key West Ink, both right near Margaritaville. However, go to Goldie's Southernmost Tattoo on Rt 1 on Stock Island. I've gotten 2 large tattoos the last 2 years I've gone to the MOTM. I like their work a lot better. Tell Goldie & Bonnie I said hello & that I'll see them in November for some more artwork. :D

I don't like needles or whatever that little thing is that they use to pierce the skin.

I have three tattoos that I had done at Paradise Tattoo. However, they were on Stock Island at the time, not on Duval Street. My oldest one from there is 7 years ago and the last one there was a year and a half ago, so they must have moved since then. However, I am really pleased with their work.

As of last November, they had 2 shops. The original on Stock Island & now the new 1 right near Key West Ink on Duvall.

Greg from Paradise Tattoo did my tat at MOTM in November. He was great and the shop was on Duval.

I did some research before we went and made the appointment as soon as we got there but didn't have it done until our last day....you need to not get it soaked with pool/sea water. :D
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Pinot Noir in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO"

I second that. A lot of my friends on the island have had work done by him.
Take me for what I am, a star newly emerging.

No matter where you go be sure they use medical audoclaves for sterilization , disposable needles, your artist wears gloves and that they do not re-use the ink.

Tropic Al and I met for the first time at Goldie's
when I was getting my second one there and
he was picking out one with his wife and daughter.
Goldie and Bonnie are really good people and do
great work.

He did my last one also, only on Stock Island. Extremely pleased with his work. I'll get another one from Paradise next time I'm there.

wonder how an ink shop can afford Duval Street rents....unless they have incorporated the Israeli t-shirt shop business model....

Didn't you ever wonder how those t-shirt shops were able to pay rents on Duval? Turned out that they were laundering excasty money. Hard to beleive, no?
