Anyone know where I can fix this please?

MizzLolly

Helloooo...

I need some help with getting my Tattoo fixed. It's got a million mistakes in it, the lines are crooked and the colour is completely faded.


Sorry about the pic, it's not great. But can anyone recommend a place in Dublin that can fix it for me. (as in, come up with an idea how to improve it, coz I haven't a clue :P)

I want the inside coloured again methinks, coz the tattooist left some crazy, random little dots here and there (not sure if you can make it out in the pic) which aren't supposed to be there. Also, where the colour used to be just looks like normal skin now, just erm.. shinier :P

So anybody think they can help?

Thankies!

I've heard a lot of people say colourworks are very good. And snakebite looks good. Friend of mine got a very nice piece there a while ago.

To fix Emmet?

OP any good artist in the city should be able to help. Stay with the shops and artists that have a good rep. Colourworks, Wildcat etc.

Do you mind me asking where you got it done?

Yeah Colourworks are great, in Temple Bar, one of the guys is crazy about stars so he might be able to help!

Directions to Colourworks:

get to the central bank on dame street at the edge of Temple bar.
Facing the central bank, look left. You'll see a pub (the Foggy Dew) follow the buildings down a few doors to a shop called Flip. Above it is Colourworks!
Bodyshock is a few doors down from it so you can ask them if you get lost
Best of luck with the tattoo!

Thanks, I put my trust in Darren and he pretty much designed it as he went along, so I'm really pleased with the result
Glad to help!

you should really get second opinions before you go anywhere,i made the mistake of just going to the first place i found,call it laziness or whatever, for my first one.just a simple celtic buckle on my upper right arm.they f*cked up the shading completely.really pissed me off because i had to scrape the money together to get it done in the first place.the rick is always ask around.thats why i tell anyone i know whos thinking of getting one not to go to galway metalworks.i only have gone to one other one and its a keeper,vibe on market street in sligo,really top notch work,very friendly people aswell and it wont cost ya an arm an a leg

MizzLolly

Well yeah, that's why I posted here to ask opinions. Colourworks has been reccommended the most here so I'm happy to go in and chat with them to see. Since my tattoo has been wrecked twice already, here's hoping for third time lucky.

***UPDATE*** (for those of you who care :P)



I got my tattoo fixed today. They went over the old one, made it thicker, added three new colours and gave me some stardust too!



...Pics to follow :pac:
