Where to go for fluff?

    I'm looking to get a tattoo of a gibbon down the outside of my right thigh. I'm just wondering who would be the best artist in Ireland to go to for this, as it's basically a big fuzzball, and a few artists i've asked say that hair and fur is tricky.

    Here are some pics of gibbons that I'm using for source material. I want him basically swinging from my hip, down to my knee, so he'll be nice and big.

    I'm afraid I have no words of wisdom to offer you, but I must say it sounds like a really cool idea!

    Thank you for the encouragement, peoples:) I'm looking to get it pretty photo-realistic, damo. I've got a psychadelic orangutan on the other thigh, want to balance it out a bit.

    Have to say in that case I echo Wills suggestion of Joe in JMDs!

    Joe Myler sounds like an ideal choice, if you don't want to go down to Waterford try Jani, Justin Russell or Remis.

    edit - just checked the attached images there - sweet! should be an awesome tattoo. Maybe colourworks isn't suitable but sure have a gander anyway, I just saw yu were looking for fluff and that tatt sprang to mind immediately ;)
