    Hi All,

    Has anyone gotten any tats done recently in Sligo?
    Which Tattoo shop would ye recommend?
    The Vibe or the other one (Celtic something...)

    I am getting some tats covered.

    @ Mods. I have asked questions about Tats in the body mod forum before but never really got an answer so I thought i'd ask here.
    Hope that's ok!

    TIA

    I got mine done in Vibe. Maybe a good idea would be to pop in to both and talk to them about what you want done and work from there?

    Skull is the guy who owns Celtic Restoration, he's a nice guy. He has moved up the road to Connelly Street now. He did some nice non-tattoo art work for me.

    :) I should have said - I'm really happy with the work I got done - was exactly what I asked for.

    Cover tattoos? Whyever would you do that? Invest in a paint scraper in Homebase, a bottle of cheap vodka (Vladivar or similar), et vóila. No more tattoos. Then you just have to worry about bleeding out and infections.:pac:

    A friend of mine had the Ballina guy recommended as well. He was very happy with the result and thought he was very cheap for the quality of the tattoo. Ver clean parlour too apparently.

    Hi!
    That Ballina guy - you ar talking about - pierced my navel. He was great!
    Everything was clean and tidy, he was nice and looked after me very well as I had problems afterwards. Highly recommend.
