Galway Tattoo Show - Artists List

Papillon!

So the Galway Tattoo Show is this weekend and at the very last minute I've freed up some time and I can go but I'm stuck in work at the moment with no facebook access and can't find the full artist list online.

Could someone please post it so I can see if anyone is free this laaate?:D:)

No easy way to get the artists and I'm busy sorry.

Here's the link though, http://www.galwaytattooshow.ie/artist-list.html

Some really good looking artists though. At a quick glance, Charley Huurman, Janusz and Paul Humphreys look really good. Need to have a good gander once I get free.

Charley Huurman is awesome. Picked up an award for an class piece at the Killarney convention.

Also be sure to check out Bartek Kos when you're there. Terribly impressive stuff.

Bartek Kos that is impressive I do like his work .


Only seen Charley Huurman work for the first time there the other week and does look impressive I'm guessing he only new to the country or at least Smiley Dog Tattoo were he is based in Cork is only new? Be suprised if it's not given the quality of his work and the lack of likes on there Facebook page.

I think that's the place Ross Nagle opened up with Ami James.

Nope, Smiley Dogg has nothing to do with Ross or Ami. It has been in operation in some form or another since 2010. Owned by a man named Raul.

Any idea if Charley has been there for a while? Or is he fresh in the country? As I say I'm just shocked that I haven't heard of him before when he seems to be putting out a very high caliber of work.

Speaking of bartek kos guess who is getting tattooed by him at this :pac:

I'm pretty sure he said on his facebook the other day that he has one slot left, and the price I was quoted for 4 hours was pretty fair. I was told the booth price at this show and was expecting the tattoos to be a little inflated. But I suppose the days are good and long.

Honestly don't know if he's been here for long. I first encountered him at the Killarney convention.

He's been in Ireland maybe six months, I think a little less. He grew up in Spain and trained there.

Old gentleman's face with an inverted cross tattoo under is eye.

Ended up getting a small tattoo from Ronan Quigley of Artman Tattoo yesterday. I'm damn impressed. It was a 16 bit sprite from Mario, and he made a savage job of it.

Some of the other talent was breathtaking. Especially the Polish crowd who won Best in Show.

Papillon!

Anyone see that huge elephant backpiece? It was saaavage. Not my thing, but the work was incredible.

I got a little oldschool tiger head from Jeff Linares:)

Just Like Heaven

Yeah elephant was mental. Wish I had brought more money, the flash Matt Chalal, Ben Stone and Matt Adamson from Jayne Doe had going was savage. Know for next year anyway. Some of the dotwork going on was mental. Cool weekend.

Papillon!

Yeah gotta hand it to the Jayne Doe booth, the work coming out of there was top notch. One of my mates got a thigh piece from Amy Savage who works there. Really nice stuff on her instagram: amyvsavage

I spent most of my time there sitting at the table across from Jeff, at Black Pearl. Two of my friends are working there, so I just hung around to watch really. Yeah, I saw the elephant one, looked really cool. I wonder how long that took them in total.

Just Like Heaven

Yeah I was gonna book in with Amy or Becca at first but couldn't settle on an idea. The stuff Joe Myler was doing was really good this weekend too. I didn't see what David Corden was doing on the sunday but the piece on saturday wasn't as impressive as his usual colour stuff. Chris Jones' stuff was mad though.

I was standing by her in the queue to get in saturday morning and it looked pretty much finished, must be brutal, some woman.

Redhairedguy

My favourite piece of all day Saturday was the guy getting the Boba Fett tattoo on his forearm. He and the artist must have been sick of my face by the time it was finished :pac:

I'm only kicking myself that I wasn't more proactive in getting artist's cards.

TerrorFirmer

Yeah, the Boba Fett one of the cooler pieces I saw. The detail was incredible.
