Getting tattooed in Jimbaran
Jimbaran mostly welcomes couples and families staying in hotels around the bay or on the Bukit. There are fewer tattoo artists than in Kuta or Seminyak, both about 30 minutes away.
Being close to the airport makes it a handy base for a session at the end of your trip, as long as you leave at least a day between the tattoo and your flight.
