Good tattoo artists

ibanezkav

Well folks, thinking about getting a sleeve done sooner rather than later
I've got a few small tattoos over the years one including a nautical star on my forearm which I hope can be included in the sleeve.
Few questions
1) anyone have names of people/places of good artists in around South/South-East /East ,
2) rough price on what a sleeve would cost? I know I won't be able to get an exact price because of what detail is in it so on. I just want to know what to expect
It's koi fish, lotus flowers and whatever can make it flow (no pun intended)

Thanks for any help/info in advance

Depends on what you're looking for in a sleeve. What style (Japanese, traditional, etc.), whether you want colour or black and grey. Pop into some studios and check out portfolios and see if anything suits what you want. If you're looking for a koi & lotus and colour I'd recommend colour works in Dublin. Some really nice Japanese pieces from the guys there. If you're willing to travel probably the best for Japanese would be Chris crooks in Belfast but you'll probably be waiting until 2016 to get an appointment.

Price wise again all depends but I'd be budgeting €1,000-1,500 for a full sleeve.

Thanks very much for that the places near wouldn't be for me let's say and the only place I know I would go is JMD in Waterford just curious about other artists. I'll definitely check out colour works in Dublin see there stuff
