Galería Bond Street

Recoleta & Barrio Norte


For the edgiest tattoos and piercings in town, you can’t beat this grungy mall. BA's skateboarder-wannabes, along with their punk-rock counterparts, also come here to shop for the latest styles, sounds and bongs. Expect everything from Hello Kitty to heavy metal.
