I went to Goa and it was terrible!
My tip would be to get a tan before you go. I'm fair skinned and for the whole two weeks I was there looked like I had just stepped off the plane. A million hawkers would surround me wherever I went and try to sell me tat.
Thai talismanic tattoos can be got from Wat Bang Phra. A priest will do the work and bless them for a packet of fags and about 200 baht.
20km outside Bangkok, ask around some of the Khao San Road tattoo parlours to see if they can point you in the right direction.
All the software in the world is available at Pantip Plaza.
