Where should I get tattooed!!!!!

jamieflo_37

Did anyone have any tattoos done in either Dublin ink in tallaght or Captains ink in Clondalkin. What's it like? Or where in your opinion is the best place to get a tattoo done in Dublin. I am getting a half a sleeve done and want to find a decent artist. A mate recommended these two shops making sure before I decide.

Dublin Ink isn't in Tallaght to start with, Tallaght Ink is, and I'd recommend neither of those places, as you can get much better work done elsewhere.

If you tell people what you want done, they may be better able to advise you where to go.

Paul Aherne in Spilled ink does some fantastic stuff! I would highly recommend him, he done my Japanese koi but is talented in pretty much everything from what i see...

and just to be clear I have absolutely no relation to spilled ink in any way....

you can check out his facebook is under paul aherne tattooing or the spilled ink website!

First and foremost avoid Captains Ink like the plague there work speaks for itself calling it average would be kind.

As for recommendations as Damo said it all depends on the piece you have in mind different pieces suit different artists.

Cheers for that Info. I am getting a portrait of my late sister on my top arm. I really want it done perfect so I will keep shopping around to find the best person.

Robert Litcan in Dark Raptor
Michal in Re inkarnated
Charley Hurmann in Smiley Dog Tattoo
Marcin Sonski in Zulu Tattoo
Marcin in Colour works
Kris - Inked4life

and lastly but far from least

Going somewhere like Captains Ink for a portrait would be the biggest mistake you could make.
