Hey, can anybody please share their experiences with Art Tattoo in Temple Bar? I was in there a while back enquiring about japanese style pieces and the guy was a bit... odd... not sure whether he doesn;t like doing japanese stuff (even though the portfolio on their site suggests he does) or whether he didn;t like the fact that i have existing tattoos and that a few of them need to be fixed (and incorporated in the new design).

was otherwise thinking about inkwell, work i have seen here is impressive but their portfolio doesn;t really show much koi/lotus work so I am not sure if they are the right ones to go with...
Advice appreciated!!
Thanks!

Im thinking of getting my second tattoo so ive been looking into different tattoo parlours. I got my first done, on my wrist just a simple star about 2 years ago in Zulu. I have to say I was really unimpressed with their service. I was incredibly nervous and had really pushed myself to go and do it and when I arrived there with my friend, the person on the desk didnt care what I wanted to do, rushed me through it and didnt even ask me if I wanted to talk to the artist.
We came back for an appointment with Tara who again, took no interest in what I wanted to do. I had a rough drawing of what I wanted and they just used an old stencil that was the same for it. Although the design was what I wanted, the lines are a bit shakey and just generally reflect the "dont give a ****" attitude that I received when I went in there.
I know now that I should have pushed more for what I wanted and to talk to someone but I suppose i was so nervous and also really wanted to do it. I'll definitely make sure that Im more confident with my next tattoo. I dont think ill be returning to Zulu because I think getting a tattoo is a big step especially your first one and I think they should have been much more accommodating especially since we paid well for it.

Wouldnt be sure on who to recommend on that type of biomech. Colourworks would be a safe bet.

This thread has needed to be closed for a long time.

There is no one single best tattoo studio in dublin, ireland or the world for that matter. There are top class studios around which cater for different styles. This thread I think causes more trouble than it's worth.
