    Those are questions you should ask the artist that will be doing them, as it will vary :) Also you are not limited to the pictures on the walls- if you find another picture you like you can bring it in to show it to them and they can draw you something based on that.

    I don't have any tattoos myself but I have seen good work come out of Tattoo Zoo, Holy Cow, Tribal Ink and Smiley Dogg- if I was getting a tattoo I'd check out all 4 of these places and see who had the portfolio/style to match what I want.

    1 - It's on Kyle Street, off the Coal Quay. 9 Kyle St. if memory serves me correctly. I don't have a number, sorry.
    2 - Sorry, nope. It's 27 Marlboro St. though.
    3 - I hear it's pretty dodgy.
    4 - I think you're thinking of the Sushi shop that's underneath Smily Dogg. Smily Dogg is on the second floor I think? There's a skate shop on the first and a sushi shop on the ground floor AFAIK.

    Try Tattoo Zoo maybe? 0214271243 http://tattoozoo.ie/ or alternatively just pop into Tribal Ink or Smily Dogg. Good luck =D

    EDIT: I should really read the thread more, you've already been to Tattoo Zoo. Well then I'd say just pop into Tribal Ink or Smily Dogg. Neither of them have websites that I can see, sorry.

    I'd bet you'd have to go in and make an appointment, I'm not sure if they do walk-ins, or if they do I have no idea. Only way to find out is to call in.

    Nope, no tattoos, I'm only 17 now so it'd be a good few months before I'd even think of getting anything. I just know too much stuff =P

    I got a small piece done by Raul from Smiley Dog when he was working for a different studio (Metal Urges, formally of Killarney, currently in Tralee), I can't fault it in the slightest, he gave me exactly what I asked for.

    It really depends how busy they are, I have not been up there since it was XXX, so I don't really know.

    You can more than likely walk in and get it done if he has no appointments booked for the next while (depending on how long the tattoo will take obv), but there is really no way of knowing until you ask. That being said however, the better a tattooist is, the higher the likelyhood that he will be already booked out on a specific day (Especially saturdays).

    I know a good few studios don't take bookings for Saturdays, and have it walk-in only. Obviously though you should check with them first though, and if they do, get in there as soon as you can after they open to have the best chance of getting one done!

    No idea to be honest, never even set foot in Cork! ;)
    Best bet is to get their number and give them a call, they'd be able to tell you anything ya needed to know.

    It was a pain in the ass to find it, but it's mentioned at the end of this page - http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055254800&page=2
    (021) 4279008

    Might be worth a try.

    Please note, it's difficult to get an appointment over the phone, generally an artist will want to see a piece before estimating how long it will take.
