    Hi. I have been looking to get a Bruce Lee portrait for a while now, but i want someone who is good at them to do it! Can anyone give me any advice? I live in Donegal, but i would travel if it was worth it. Thanks.

    If you're actually looking for one of the best then I'd go to Paul Naylor aka Myth in Cheshire, definately the best portrait artist within reasonable distance.
    Having said that the portfolios of Joe Myler (Waterford) and Jerson (Snakebite Dublin) are worth looking at.
    Just be mindful not to be dazzled by the other good tattoos they've done only judge the portfolios by the portraits, as thats what you're after and they're tricky to do well.
    When you show this tattoo to people you want them to be able to say "Wow thats an awesome Bruce Lee tattoo!" you dont want them to say "Why do you have a tattoo of Ricky from the Chinalink takeaway on you?" :)
    Point is, people should be able to tell who it is or you'll be a tattoo fail. Good luck.

    What Diceicle said, only Jerson is only ever in Snakebite during the summer, and has gone back to Brazil again AFAIK
