Where is the best place to get Tattoo work done in Dublin?

Apologies guys, first post here on the Tattoo & Piercing forum and I am sure this topic has been posted a million times before. However, I noticed that when posters ask about the "best" place to go, in general the answer given is "depends on what type of tattoo you want." It seems very specific to each case.

I've been to a couple of places in Dublin and one while I was away and I have a total of 3 tattoos. I have had nothing but bad experiences with tattoos and I wanted to get my tattoos fixed. The are relatively simple tattoos, no colour, not large by any stretch of the imagination and I would have thought they are they type of tattoos that an artist could do relatively easily.

Where do you guys think is the most reliable/friendly/experienced place to get my tattoos sorted? I'm one of those customers that will continue to go back somewhere, if the job is done well.

Is there a general consensus on where the best place in Dublin to go is? Or is there any that are highly recommended? I just want to get these sorted out. I'm of the opinion that if something is going to be on my skin pretty much for life, that I want it to be as close to perfect as possible. And in all honesty, the tattoos I have, although I love them, there are one or two little things about them that really bother me.

So long story short, where in general is seen as the best place to go to get tattoos done? Redone/Fixed to be specific?

Thanks guys

It does depend though as different artists will specialize in different styles. I'd recommend colourworks in temple bar or snakebite on Abbey st. Nothing but good from both studios.

I have gotten a piercing in snakebite before and I agree they are a brilliant place. I assumed they would be seen as a decent place to go, but as I said, it's a personal preference. So I said I should ask the Boards guys what they think.

I had an excellent experience in Wildcat Jervis, for what it's worth.

Spilled Ink looks amazing. http://www.facebook.com/Spilled.Ink.Tattoo.Studio

Joe Deegan is there at the moment and he's incredible. I've also seen stuff by Paulie that he has posted up on moshspace, it's also brilliant. I've never been myself but I think I might go there next time.

Yup, I couldn't say enough good things about Wojt and the studio while I was there
Immaculately clean, professional, and an excellent job.

But it depends on who you deal with, I guess?
