Every parlour is gonna use clean needle and have good hygiene, it's their job.

I've heard good things about Smiley Dog on North Main Street.

Massive thumbs up for Magic Tattoo. I've yet to have his work done on myself (in the process of making a design) but I've seen loads of his work and the fine detail is astonishing.

I can't fault Tattoo Zoo. I've had various tattoos and piercings done there over the last 8 years and never been disappointed. They were also kind enough to clean up and re-pierce a piercing for me that some cowboy did completely wrong and didn't even charge me for it.

Inkoholics on Tuckey street. Can't fault them. Great service and the lads in there are very friendly. And when I was getting my piece done they had Archer on the TV. Can't go wrong with any place that has Archer on!

I'd say your best bet is to go into a few places and talk through design and when they can fit you.

Depending on the size and detail prices can vary so thats why I'd go around to a few places to get a ball park figure.
