AwakenTD 0 Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 My name is Elad and I'm from Israel :) I'm 24 y/o and I started getting tattooed about a year ago. I have 3 pieces by now (which I'll upload to my profile shortly) and plan on getting many more over time. I'm currently interested in Traditional style tattoos and I'm working on filling up my left arm. I've been browsing this website extensively over the last two weeks and watched many of the interviews and already feel that I've learned a lot. I feel blessed to have found this site and look forward to participate! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
titforatat 1 Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Welcome, Awaken. Is there a lot of stigma in Israel over tattoos and tattoo shops? Is it difficult to get inked there? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AwakenTD 0 Posted December 20, 2013 Author Share Posted December 20, 2013 It's very easy to get tattooed in the major cities, especially in Tel Aviv as there are shops all around, and it's becoming more popular and acceptable in recent years, just like in the rest of the world I guess. That being said, it is pretty rare to see heavily tattooed people. I feel only the older generations and strict religious people hold stigmas about tattoos. I personally have a pretty big and visible arm tattoo and I've gotten some stares but no negative comments so far :) titforatat 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graeme 2,588 Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Ah cool! About all I know about tattooing in Israel is Avi Vanunu who also tattoos there/maybe owns the shop? Anyway, post up some pictures! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, post up some pictures! I think that Yoni Zibler, from New York Adorned, goes over there and tattoos sometimes. I love his work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recall where I heard it but Yoni Zilber may have even apprenticed under Avi Vanunu. Yoni's tattoos are absolutely beautiful. I need to make plans to get tattooed by him.

His Tibetan work would look really nice along side the Hooper stuff you have. You gotta get yourself over to see Tom Yak as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You gotta get yourself over to see Tom Yak as well. Yeah, the plan is to have my right forearm done by him with some sort of Tibetan motif, possibly a dragon. Right now it's just a matter of figuring out travel and timing and what not given that my tattoo priority at the moment is saving money to start my back in the summer. I've been super impressed with what I've seen of Tom Yak's work, and my wife really wants to get tattooed by Robert Ryan (so do I for that matter) so a trip to Electric Tattoo is certainly something we'll eventually do as well.

AwakenTD 0 Posted December 20, 2013 Author Share Posted December 20, 2013 @Graeme no worries man, glad I got some discussion going. Avi Vanunu is indeed working there and I believe he is the owner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
