Head tattoo

am i bovvered

Just wondering if anyone knows an artist in Ireland that has experience doing a head tattoo.
It will be on the back half going down the back of the neck. Dotwork or geometric design in black and grey.
Asking on behalf of a friend (female)
Thanks

Your friend obviously being heavily tattooed herself should know some

She is from Austria, now living in Ireland.
I have 60+ hrs in a tattoo studio, none in Ireland so not sure what your point is.

I'm gonna be pedantic and ask what your 60+ hours have to do with your 'friends' tattoo?

TBH, I have no problem with you getting one if you want one, but would encourage that allot of thought go into how it fits you and your lifestyle...

Going somewhat off topic: I have a supplier who has a tattoo on the back of his head, wears a really sharp suit and a Rolex... He carriers it off very well, no one has ever questioned how he appears. On the other hand I often see a guy in the pub who has a pair of eyes tattoo'ed on the back of his head... If I did employ him I would fire him straight away... he shouldn't be allowed to make any decisions ever... He looks like a fool.

What also winds me up is people on the dole who have excessive ****ty tattoo's and then complain they can't get a job

Jesus christ not a head tattoo... you'd be hard pressed to find an artist actually happy to do it unless they're a cowboy.

Mark in Spilled Ink has done some similar work in recent times:

Why is that, exactly?

Pretty much any tattoo artist I've worked with will do the head, some maybe not the face but I would not see an issue. Not sure why the dole has been mentioned!

Its gonna hurt, a lot. I've mine designed and still put it off and get something else done. I've got a session booked in with Andres in ART Ancient Rituals Tattoo in Killarney for symmetric dot work, but doing the arm, kind feel the lack of outline will kinda help with the pain part so its a test run for the head which I'd kinda be doing the same thing on. He done some Trash Polka/Dot work on a friend and it turned out very well.

Wagner in Dublin Ink has done something recently enough that sounds the exact same as what you are describing. Check out his instagram, can't link because I'm in work. His name is Wagnerbasei.

It was related to my statement:

As well as another commenters previous statements. I don't believe it's worthwhile saying 'Head Tattoos... Ewe'... so I added context... hence discussion forum...

I had to laugh at your last paragraph .... 'what also winds me up is ...'
You need to calm down, this is only an internet forum.
She is an adult well into her 30's and believe me we both work at a high level in a tough industry, not that its any of your business.
I don't know how many hours she has spent getting tattoo'd as I did not think it was relevent to ask her, suffice to say she has enough to know her own mind. I only mentioned my hours because of the odd post by Raze.
I honestly could not care less what you think

Cheers for the reply, its just that its an unusual place and she wants someone with experience of that area.

lol. I don't want to take this off topic, but you started a discussion on a public discussion forum... just because people don't respond how you want, doesn't mean they can't comment... Isn't this what discussion is all about... Best of luck with your friends head tattoo...

You can comment away, no problem at all. I was just pointing out I found the 'another thing that winds me up' comment funny.

I was not asking for an opinion on what anyone though just a recommendation for an artist.

However you are fully entitled to give your unasked for opinion as am I to tell you I don't care about it.

Keep this free from judgemental nonsense please folks. No-one here likes being judged based on having tattoos, so don't judge others looking for tattoos.
