    i'm looking to get a polynesian-style half-sleeve done soon, and was wondering where in dublin is the best place to go?

    (i realise there has been a thread about this already but its fairly old and may not be the case now.)

    anyone have any ideas?


    ps. something like this:

    Possibly the Italians in Art Tattoo in Temple Bar.

    My vote goes for the italians too, They're pricey for a reason, namely the reason being they're very good. A friend got a half sleeve done there last summer and it cost about 450 yoyos so not that pricey in the grand scheme things.

    yeah they'll draw it right on the skin for you, so it follows your shape perfect generally no flash involved, just make sure its exactly how you want it

    Pick picture from book--tattooist makes stencil and inks it on you.
    No art involved really.Kinda more like a colouring book :D:D

    Some pretty decent flash here : http://tatoo-flash.com/

    Custom usually involves design from start to finish and is usually a unique piece of artwork.
