Helloooo there,
I'm Becca, I've just got my nose pierced and a couple of piercings in my ears, but I'm currently planning my first tattoo and have been looking around for a good few months, thought maybe this would help me find an artist that will suit me. I've been looking at loads of portfolios and stuff but I think I need the advice of people who can actually tell me their own experience with their artist, might help me choose one. I'm in Dublin, so I would prefer to have an artist here, but I don't mind travelling to another county for a good artist.

Hi guys. Joined forum to find a tattooist. I know what I want but don't know how to go about it and I'm looking for a guy/gal to design my idea. I've spent about 3 yrs figuring out in my head what I want (which is a place I don't even like being ;-) ) never being to a studio as I don't wanna waste anybody's time. My biggest fear is getting someone to design my idea and for there design not to meet my idea and to have to tell them so. Be it my fault in communicating or there in ability to design. Live in mayo but have no problems travelling to meet the right person. Thks
You won't be wasting anybody's time. Some studios even have certain times set aside where they won't be tattooing and just there for consultations. Being in Mayo you have a few good studios around you. Fat Cat in Sligo and AWOL in Galway being my recommendations. So maybe get in contact with them, both studios have a great presence on Facebook and are easy to get in contact with on there, and you can work out a time that would suit both you and them to have a pop in and go over any ideas. And if you don't like what they sketch up for you, don't worry, they will be happy to sketch again until you are ready to go. That's what your deposit is for
Good luck.0 -

+1 for AWOL, great place.0 -
No offence to anyone recommending certain studios but in my opinion it's always good to hear the piece someone has in mind for the tattoo before recommending an artist or studio imo.
Unless it's a generic piece that most studio can do it could be a piece that is specific to a certain artists style that it would fit better. Fat Cat and AWOL do put out some brilliant work imo but it just mightn't fit any of there profiles
.
So MorganIRL what is the piece you have in mind then people will be able to give you more specific recommendations on what artists profiles to look at?
Knowing my luck it will now be a generic piece that will fit any studio :pac::o.0 -

Sooooo....
Alisha, 26. One tattoo (not sure if you could call it a half sleeve, but starts at my wrist and continues just past my inner elbow. Had my ears, navel, and lip done (snakebites... twice!). Currently piercing free (our first little one due in 11 days ) but hoping to get a second tat in honour of reproducing once I get the figure back!
Getting a lot of mixed reviews about getting work done when breastfeeding though, not sure how to take that!
On a side note, just need to think of something that symbolises the birth of my daughter without actually advertising the fact (ie I would rather something that doesn't let everyone know what it means, so not her name!)
My partner has 9 tats (yummy ), but neither of us have been to a good artist in a while (my first was finished about 3 years ago)! 0 -

Hello folks
So I've wanted to get a tattoo for ages and ages, well like 2 years or so, maybe less :P But regardless of that, nothing ever popped out at me to get done. If I was to get a tattoo it would probably be fairly minimal/simplistic, pretty small and probably somewhere less likely to be seen, thinking below my collar bone on the left side or my foot...something like that.
I like the idea of getting a cool symbol but haven't really come across anything that would mean something to me. Also the obvious choice of getting a print tattoo, while probably over done I would like one, I kind of want to get "Get Behind Me Satan" When I first heard the phrase I took a way different meaning to it then the one commonly known :P
But anyways, I'm now going to actively seek out a tattoo idea, been looking at fonts and stuff. Think I'll sit with the Get Behind Me Satan idea and see how I feel about it in a few weeks!
