Looking for tattoo artist to call to home

Hi guys I'm looking for a tattoo artist to do a sleeve for me. And a small tattoo for my other half. Just wondering if anybody knows anyone that does house calls per say. Oh I'm around the Kildare area

If only there was a tattoo and body piercing forum around here.

They'd answer such questions with wisdom than after hours ever could.

Op, you'd be best off posting this in the Tattoo and Piercing forum.

Anyway, to answer your question:

The only tattoo artist you'll find to call to your home is a scratcher. A scratcher is a home artist, usually untrained, almost always doing awful quality tattoos.

A good, professional, reputable artist will NOT call to your home, because they have to set up and break down a studio and their gear for every single tattoo they do, have everything sterile (your house will not be sterile) and make sure that they have everything they need to do your tattoo to hand.


I'd strongly advise that you don't get a tattoo yet. Rather, spend some time actually researching how much work goes into a tattoo, what to look for, what to avoid, hygiene practises, studios, artists, etc.

Seriously, you live in Kildare. It's not far from Dublin and there are tonnes of fantastic, high quality, decently priced studios in Dublin, like Skin City, Zulu, Snakebite, Spilled Ink, Hydraulix, Colourworks, etc etc.

Any tattoo artist you get to call to your house is not a reputable, decent artist.
