27 52, www.procentras.lt. The only truly pro shop in town<br />
can provide index prints and rush all manner of film formats<br />
through in an hour if you ask them nicely, although the usual<br />
turnaround is more usually a day. Transparency films get done<br />
in batches, and rather annoyingly can take up to a month to<br />
process. QOpen 09:00 - 18:00. Closed Sat, Sun. A<br />

Drakono Ženklas B-3, Vilniaus 45, tel. (+370) 5 261<br />
40 64, www.tattoo.lt. Prices start from around 50Lt, but<br />
changing the name of a former lover into an anchor and chain<br />
usually involves a bit of work and costs more. Especially<br />
if you’re trying to remove a Lithuanian surname. Piercing<br />
is offered, but they won’t touch your naughty bits. Unless<br />
you’re very sexy. They have previously refused to tattoo<br />
tongues, but did once tattoo someone’s foot. They limped<br />
home. QOpen 11:00 - 19:00, Sat 11:00 - 15:00. Closed<br />
Sun. J<br />
Modus A-6, Kauno 6, tel. (+370) 5 233 42 38, www.<br />
modus.lt. A little out of the centre but worth it because<br />
they only charge 80Lt to change ‘Asta’ to ‘Pasta’. They claim<br />
they will tattoo anything anywhere for the right price, so take<br />
your granny along and give them a challenge. They have<br />
previously slapped tatts on little toes and bald heads. They<br />
also do piercing. QOpen 11:00 - 18:00, Sat 11:00 - 15:00.<br />
Closed Sun. J<br />

paradize.lt. For 50 - 150Lt you can get a matchbox, or any<br />
similarly sized design, tattooed almost anywhere. (There are<br />
body parts that they won’t fill with ink, but they wouldn’t tell us<br />
which ones.) Somewhat worryingly, they couldn’t remember<br />
the strangest tattoo they’ve ever been asked to do. They will<br />
also poke holes in you. Q By appointment only. J<br />

Wellness<br />
Amber Massage SPA C-5/6, Aušros Vartų 15, tel.<br />
(+370) 5 261 49 23. The brainchild of a lady from Israel,<br />
this strange and rather beguiling addition to the city’s growing<br />
wellness community provides a range of massages using<br />
amber, from little rods of it to bags of crushed amber to an<br />
entire mini beach of the stuff that you lie on whilst a young<br />
lady walks on top of you. There’s a sauna too, and the whole<br />
thing has been designed to re-energise owning to amber’s<br />
peculiar proclivity to generate small amounts of electricity.<br />

can be made outside of office hours. QOpen<br />
