Clinton Hill Getting a Tattoo Parlor
A tattoo parlor, Clinton Hill’s first by our count (though we could just be hopelessly out of the tattoo loop), is scheduled to open at 212 Greene Avenue, next door to Choice Greene just in from Grand Avenue.

According to two separate sources, the lease is signed and work has already begun. We also hear that the people behind this place are real artists—and that there will be a gallery space for displaying work. GMAP
@ gemini10:
I had two gorgeous tattoos done at Hand of Glory a few years ago by Craig. Highly recommend!
GREAT IDEA GREAT CONCEPT CANT WAIT. THIS IS WHAT WE NEED A LITTLE SPICE AND PLEASURE WERE NOT JUST TALKING ABOUT YOUR REGULAR OLD TATTOO PARLOR THAT OUR GRANDFATHERS FEQUENT. THIS SHOP WILL PROVIDE ART WITH ART TRUST ME YOU’LL LOVE IT
Tattoos will only go up in value from here. Sure, they now cost more than they did 10 years ago so those bargain days are going. However, they still represent a solid investment at today’s prices.
Bitter non-tattooed people don’t get it and never will. They walk around grumbling about the high prices without considering the scarcity value of the availability of plots. As the old saying goes, “Buy skin, they’ve stopped making it”.
The “rent v buy argument” also stacks up. Based upon my completely made up analysis, it will cost you 15 times more to rent a tattoo than to buy one – even taking into account maintenance costs.
If you can’t afford to get a tattoo on one of the more desirable parts of the body, you can start off in one of the up and coming areas that should gentrify over time so you can trade up.
One negative aspect is that current planning restrictions are relatively relaxed and it is all too common to see a modern “apple” logo sitting uncomfortably next to a traditional “naked girl”.
In summary, BUY A TATTOO! THEY ARE CHEAP AND YOU WILL LOVE HAVING ONE!

Its hard to gauge the value of something when you’re not into it in the first place. Some people spend thousands on clothes, shoes, cars, some people find value in waiting 3 hours for pizza, things I find zero value in. Its not easy to learn how to tattoo well, there’s no room for mistakes, its an extremely unforgivable artform that takes years to perfect . It, in some cases is considered a luxury like any other, to some a necessity. People are told the cost long before the process starts, no one goes into it feeling gyped. That said, when someone’s getting tattooed, they aren’t throwing down thousands at a time. If someone wants their whole back done 40 – 60 hours worth of work in the course of a year or two, the payments are spaced out, and the results bring great happiness and last forever (unlike clothes or cars), and in alot of cases the process of going through the planning, pain and whatnot is therapeutic (yes us tattooed lot are a little “off”, i fully admit). diffr’nt strokes for different folks.
and yes my neck is tattooed
“Tattoos are expensive folks. I mean they can run up into the hundreds and thousands and if the parlour has a few artists doing 5-6 clients a day well you do the math…”
I guess overpricing extends BEYOND real estate….
I recently read an article talking about how the only people who used to have neck tattoos were convicts….now they are quite common.
I will check em out – thanks
I have a tattoo I have to fix ;p
I knew people that used to work there, the 2 guys that are there now are legit. the work on their website is solid. As in the ROTD reviews, I cant speak for ambience or value.
As for the property values, the renovations these new guys will commit to, to create a solid hospital sterile enviroment , as well as the art gallery factor, will certainly increase the value of the building.
