    If you're willing to pay good money, and wait a looooooong time, Remis would more than likely be the best in Ireland for portrait work.

    He's going away for most of the year if I remember correctly, but I'd suggest contacting him to try get on his waiting list. His portrait work is absolutely fantastic.

    Hmm. It's up to yourself of course, but he'd be considered one of, if not the, best artists for portrait work in Ireland.

    He's going traveling for the rest of the year, yeah, but he'd be one I'd recommend waiting for tbh.

    There's an artist called Charlie Huurman who does very good portraits and is due to do a weeks residency down in Cork and another week down in Bray shortly.

    I have a voucher for Galway bay and I think I'm gonna use it to get a portrait from Stephen Kennedy there. I'd say he's worth checking out. Good portraits outta Skin city too.

    Remis for me would be the best in Ireland there's a reason he can go travelling and be pre booked everywhere he goes in advance.

    But if he's not you I'd look at pawel in skin city, Joe myler or Tomash in hydraulix tattoo

    Can't remember if the portraits were good/if he had many, but your man in Dark Raptor's black and grey stuff was savage.
