Recommendations, Artists shops.

KenJG

Hi all,
I have my fair share of work done through various locations in Dublin. I have been tattooed by several diferent guys in various shops such as Stigmata Tou, Celestial ring, Snake bite and a couple of others around the city and county. I like the idea of getting work done by numerous artists so am just wondering does anyone have any recommendations as regards artists / shops? Can travel so even if outside Dublin would appreciate suggestions!
Thanks in anticipation.

I can't recommend this guy enough. He's done most of my tattoos. His work is flawless. He's the only person I'll let tattoo me.

Well Im an engineer and can be working in any of the 32 counties, I also travel regularly to the uk. So Im pretty sure I could convenietly arrange a meeting in the locality of a good Artist if needs be.

It's no problem! We generally just don't allow email addresses/phone numbers posted directly, as you with phone numbers dunno who could see them and use them, and email addresses could be harvested by spammers for their lists

Cheers Diceicle, I have a space reserved on my left hand side untouched and Ive been reserving it for a piece Ive been working on myself. Il explore these artist maybe see if I can contact a few and find someone to suit. Its a very personal piece and I know that sounds a bit picky but I really want the artist to engage with it.
