I had a tattoo done by ibud on our last trip (July). Very happy and I would recommend.
My Brother in law also had one done at Legian 64 (not 69) by Shotonk, and i would certainly recommend them also.
When you visit these places, and look at the scrap books etc you need to make sure you are looking at their work (not just grabs of the internet).
Fresh tattoos don't really like sun, sea, or chlorine, so get it done the day, or day before you come home.
Don't be put off by the hygene horror stories, I can honestly say that both the places i have referred to have better practices/cleanliness that where I have previously been in Australia.
