new tattoo, where should i go??

gdid

hi
i have decided to get this tattoo on my calf, i understand it may be difficult to do from just a picture but a variation of this even would be cool, but anyhow, i was wondering where would be best to go for this? around dublin carlow kildare areas would be best, i dont mind paying the extra bit if it means it will look good and clean, any help is greatly appreciated thanks http://www.tattoos99.com/tattoopics/body/leg/leg_tattoo_91.jpg

The artist who's done my last few pieces specializes in that kind of style, he is down in cork though.





Just two examples from his facebook page

His shading/portraits aren't that great, but his linework tribal and other stuff is amazing.

There's a lad in Hacketstown who does my tatts, he's top class. Let me know if you want his email/phone number.

cheers for all the replies, those tattos look good but cork is a bit too much of a trek for me, cheers though, and yeah if you could send me his number and e mail that would be great, does he have a site where i could see his work??
thanks

Tis indeed, he was based in cobh until recently (still doing some appointments there as far as i know) but his new studio is just outside Dunmanway.
