Dirk Gently

Is it the one on abbey street?

If so I was in it years ago. I only got a handy bit of celtic flash done though so don't know about how decent the artists are for quality custom work or anything. I was happy with mine anyway, but like I said it was a straight forward enough design. Place was clean and bright and comfortable. 4 or 5 cubicals if I remember correctly. This was all about 7 or 8 years ago though. You really need to find out the names of the artists in there now and check out their portfolios.

Dancor

It is on Tolbot Street, above a €2 shop I think. It used to be above a camera shop on Gardnier Street.
The place is spotless. I got my first tattoo there and it has held up perfect, no fading or anything. A lady from New Zealand did it, she may well be gone now. Its owned by Brendan Harte, one of the first tattooist in the city afaik. His nephew Wayne also works there, he is a very good artist from what ive seen.

The clientelle can be a bit ropey but that just because of the area they are located. They also have standards, they refuse to tattoo unless you have ID etc.

Noxin

I've had a few done there. Its a very clean spot as already said.
The work I've had done there was great. Staff were very friendly every time I went in.

Also brought my GF at the time in. She only had a vague idea of what she wanted so the artist went in back with her basic idea in mind and came out about 15 minutes later with a very nice design! For someone who was not overly into tattoos she ended up loving it and also said the staff were very nice.
Never got the artists name though!

Just looked up the studio: http://www.dragontattoodublin.com/theshop.html
