Tattoo shop recommendations in Dublin-first tattoo

CiaraOMeara95

Hello there,

This is my first thread so I'm not entirely sure if I'm posting it right because I really couldn't be bothered reading through the FAQ's..:D

Anywho, I want to get my first tattoo ever in October in Dublin , as I am going there for a lady gaga concert and felt there would be a better choice of tattoo places.

The design I want to get is a geometric style elephant on my ankle with all the cool lines and stuff like that on it.
I dont care about price etc, as I want to go to a clean place with friendly staff that make me feel at ease.

Can't wait to hear some of your advice,
Thank you

Well,

I just got my first tattoo yesterday in The Ink Factory on Wellington Quays.

Really liked the place, I spent an hour or two walking around to the different parlours and I just liked the feel of the place, was very open, light and relaxing. Not that I had any issue with other businesses, I just found the place completely unintimidating. It helps that it has a cafe as a part of it.

They opened a few weeks ago, were the original owners of Dublin Ink (if im correct?)

Anyways, The guys there were sound and Ryan did a great job on my ribs, wasnt painful by any means so now im pretty curious to see how it would compare to a meatier part of me

I got a great watercolour piece done by Rachael in Wildcat in the St. Stephens green. I know that's a different style but she's awesome, great colour work and very cool to work with to plan it out before getting it done. Highly recommended.
