Opinions on tattooists

CianRyan

I wana sort myself out with some ink, (duhh) and i was wondering if i could get some opinions on some of the artists around dublin.
some one who's good at like, cartoony bright colour kinda stuff.

I've heard good things about a guy in.. aaghh, colout works i think? im probably wrong, darn my memory. The place above flip.

anyway... im just rambling at this stage.
Opinions?
thank you

any particular style? like new school type, sort of thick lines, bright colours?
colour works yeah, or theres a guy in zulu i believe is quite good at what i think you are describing. i forget his name though... best bet is to have a poke around the studios and see whos portfolio you like most

CianRyan

well if your a fan of fosters home for imaginary friends, that kind of style, but not that simple/plain.
If you know rakan in metal morphisis(spelt that wrong anyway) sort of like his batman tats.

And yeah, being it the midterm i'll go around askin questions and such in the next few days! =]

http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/tv_shows/fosters/index.html <--- had fun on that site for a bit haha.
id say mark in celestial ring / wildcat would be your best bet mainly due to some of the work we have seen here lately

http://boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=226952&page=91 <--- have a peek

CianRyan

hahaha had great fun on the cartoon network site!

And thanks man, i had a look at that piece you linked me too! looked real nice.
i'll deffinatly be talking to mark at some stage.

And also, if anyone could give me the name of the artist who did this ---> http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=226952&page=93

the finishing touches on the foot piece, that is, id love to have an imput from them in my ink too.

Yeah he's done most of my tattoos. He did post a bulletin on inkednation about moving to Malaga in September so anyone who wants work by him should probably get moving on getting an appointment. Do you have any work from him Martin?

xtruthx

CianRyan

justin in zulu for my tats! =]
hell ****ing yes.

awhh ****! bad news.. no, i dont have any tats done by him but i really wanted to get some ink by Janni.. bad buzz.. oh well )

Cian.. yeah. Justin is a great artist, dude can draw really good

I'd say any of the guys in Stigmata in Swords would sort you out... Mick, Cathal and Wally are all top notch artists, and dead sound too!

Also, Mark in Celestial turns out good work, he's done some on me arm taht I've no complaints with.

If you want to try something a little out of the ordinary, go with Pluto up on Dame St -his work seems to be a bit 'marmite', but I love the piece he did on my bicep!

Will

Pluto has moved from his original spot, hes now further back up the street. seems like a character

CianRyan

pluto?

Will

Very very much a character... he doesn't suffer fools, and can be a bit abrasive at times, but is sound when you get to know him!
