    Hi,

    I am based in Kilkenny but willing to travel if they are good.

    Basically I want a very colourful pin up girl style tattoo....along the lines of Hannah Aitchinsons work.


    Ta!

    I love love LOVE Hannah Aitchinson's tattoos....

    The only female artist I know of is in Cork and her name is Karen Russel. But why does it have to be a female?

    i know there's a chick used to ink in colourworks, not sure where she's at now, but no harm in ringin up colourworks see if they know...

    there's a chick in snakebite on abbey street as well, dont know a whole lot about her, but she always seems sound enough when im in there...

    That'd be Denise. When I was getting my phoenix done she was doing a freehanded tattoo on a guys shoulder, and it looked great! :)

    Because I think a female would have a better idea of what I want.

    Colours, delicacy, feminine pin up like figure drawing.
    I would feel uncomfortable pitching my thoughts on what I want to a bloke that does tattoos for guys 90% of the time.
    To be honest im not sure they would take me seriously.

    Also from years of looking at tattoos Ive never really seen tattoos done by men that I REALLY like, its always been ones by women that I adore.

    Just a suggestion, you may not want to rule out guys. I'm sure there are some excellent male tattooists in Dublin who are experienced with pin ups and I doubt men make up 90% of their clients.

    Ah yeah im not totally closed to male tattooists - just been my experience so far but I certainly dont know everything!

    My question was just out of curiousity really - im still open to all suggestions!

    Its looking like the new year anyway before I get it done - bloody christmas expenses!
