Tattoos in Limerick

sunshineoh9

I'm moving to Limerick City and almost dreading to say goodbye to my tattoo artist! My guy is not only an amazing artist, insanely cheap, 110% professional and hygienic but he even makes house calls!!! So I was wondering if anyone knows where I can get awesome looking and moderately priced inks in or near Limerick City?

Also! In homage to myself moving to Ireland I want to get some sort of Celtic symbol... I wanted a Claddagh symbol but my fiance said it is extremely bad luck; now I'm not terribly superstitious but I'd rather not risk it on something as permanent as a tat. Any suggestions for a symbol that can fit into a 2x2" area?

this isn't quite as important but i was also thinking about getting branded... is there a place near Limerick that does branding? i know its not popular but i think brands look awesome :cool:

as far as i know there is no one doing scarification in limerick? or branding

@sunshine not to sure on the whole house calls thing.. post pictures of his/her work

I've got a tattoo in Bullman's and All Star Ink - would recommend both. Both have a really clean set-up and good artists.

Ulrich heuber has his own studio high on ink, he ticks all the boxes, clean professional, reasonably priced and a great artist.
Allstar have a name for themselves too, well Ross Nagle does, if you can get over the arrogance at the front desk.

ive had tattoos done in a few places in limerick but yet have had the pleasure of being tattooed by Uli(high on ink) who ive only heard great things about, a really cool down the earth guy without an ego and most importantly a super artist having looked at his work on facebook.

Sorry to bump this up.... but is Danny Bullmans still there on Thomas Street, Limerick? I got my very first tat done there over 10 years ago. Nice guy, very professional and put me totally at ease.

My question is, roughly how much should i expect to pay to get a small dragon tattoo (Black with red ink) and approximately 3 inches long now a days? I got a black dragon tattoo done (simular size) in Bullmans years ago and at the time paid just £50 (it was punt back then).

An artist in luxembourg quoted me €290 for the celtic dragon tattoo (with black and red ink) back in February when i was over which i found to be savagely expensive.

Yeah it's still there, I dont think Danny is there at the moment last I saw he was in Vienna could be back though. As for the price only the artist will be able to tell you that so call in, I have two tattoos similar in size about 3 inches down and across cost €180 at the time for the black with red, the other is all in colour about 4-5 inches down and across cost €250 done by Danny.

Is it the norm to have to bring in a drawing of a tat before they will quote you?
I am looking to get one done, have the idea in my head, but it will go "behind" an exisiting tattoo. It's not anything fancy I'm getting, so I would imagine they could sketch it out there and then for me?
I was told to call in with the drawing before they could price it....

ZombieBride

Ulrich did all my drawings for me for the ones he did for me, I went in with an idea and he gave it a life. They are tattoo Artists should be able to draw.
