Hanky Panky tattoo parlor is smack dab in the Red Light district...but the most comfortable place with real artists that make you happy you visited here! Not only is the art fantastic, the artists are professional and talented! They will take the time to talk to you, sketch up a drawing, trace what you want, copy what you need...what ever it takes to get the perfect tattoo! I have been here 3 times and have had the best service of all my tattoos! On this visit, I walked in to make an appointment for the next week, and gave them an idea of what I wanted. When I returned the next week, they not only remembered me, they were ready for my picture!
The guys (and girl) there are serious about their business, and so it may seem like they are rude, but they want serious customers, not silly people that stumble in off the street. They have plenty of suggestions, pictures, books to look at, previous art on the walls, but be serious and don't waste everyone's time.
The place is small, but is very accommodating, and they make sure people can not just walk in off the streets and see what is going on.
Before you are allowed in the back room, you have to agree on a tattoo and price, then the work begins.
As this is not my first tattoo, I will note that the artist was very easy, light handed, but was still more than friendly enough to ask how things were going or if a break was needed. I appreciate that!
I know it seems strange to go to Amsterdam to get a tattoo, but I am telling you, they are great!
If you are in the market for a new tattoo and are in town....there is no better souvenir to take home!
The prices are a little bit higher than expected, but it is quality work in a canal parlor in Amsterdam....it's worth the experience!
FYI....cash only! No exceptions! CASH only!!! read more
