thinking of getting my first tattoo.whats the best place in dublin to get it done.? thinking of an irish inscription with some special people's names below. on my chest. thanks.

Will

is it just text? how fancy will it be.
make sure the irish is correct if you are using irish that is.
Any old place should be able to do it.
Recommended places are zulu, art tattoo, and the place in stephens green celestial ring i think.

thanks,willburt. text will be in irish,celtic style writing. what are the factors regarding cost? number of letters,size of letters,difficulty? area of body?

Will

basically how long it takes to do which will depend on the size and complexity of the piece. Prices range from 60euro to 100 euro an hour depending on where you go.
if its only gonna be small (i.e take 30mins) theyl charge you the minimum price which is the hourly cost

area of body has nothing to do with cost, its all skin in the end

where did u get yours done? who impressed you most?

i got mine done in art tattoo in dublin. miguel there is very good. but it all depends what you are after to be honest. any competent artist should have no problem doing a good job on your tattoo

things to look for in a tattoo portfolio:

healed tattoos that display clear straight refined lines
good placement on the body
quality shading work

things to look for in a tattooist:

passion
niceness is an option


have a poke around town and see who impresses you, you are getting the tattoo not me
