Hi Folks,

By Indian ink I'm assuming you mean handpoked? I don't know about Dublin, but Phil Cummins in West Cork is an extremely talented guy with both machine work and handpoked.

most indian ink tattoo's where done with a a sowing needle and a matchstick ,

If you do mean handpoked, I recommend Inkwell in Celbridge

Recently did a tattoo on my OH by hand and it's perfect (granted it was a very simple tattoo, but he has a massive interested in hand tattooing and is very into it!)

Very talented artist in general

+1 for John in Inkwell. Good artist and he's really into the traditional styles of tattooing like handpoking.

If you fancy waiting, there's a Traditional Tattoo and Culture festival every summer in Cork. Top traditional/handpoke artists from all over the world travel to take part.
