Tattoo artist advice

    Hi all, have spent a long deliberating about getting a new tattoo. Years actually and finally have an idea of what I want. Problem now is I want to find a decent tattoo artist to go and get a quote and design ideas.
    Was hoping to get some guidance as google in this instance is not my friend.

    Design is something along the lines of this and around the same size. I know its hard to give an idea of cost as it will be down to the calibre of the artist but is there any chance anyone could give me a rough ball park idea so i don't pass out before I even see a needle?
    And also direction on who would be my best bet to go and see for the kind of design i want. Live in Westmeath so Navan or Dublin for location.

    Thanks in advance.

    I'd say around 350-500 mark depending on artist and about 4-5hrs to do.

    If you want them to draw it up I'd say about 50-100 for them to do so and most would probably only do it
    a few days before the sitting of the tattoo.

    it'd cost more than 500 if you want it to look as good

    Hi check out "D.C tattoos" on facebook in Carlow. Guy is really good and really competitive prives. Think its 20quid up front for a design to be drawn and then its taken off the first hour. Most of my family and friends go to him.
