    hi
    i have decided to get this tattoo on my calf, i understand it may be difficult to do from just a picture but a variation of this even would be cool, but anyhow, i was wondering where would be best to go for this? around dublin carlow kildare areas would be best, i dont mind paying the extra bit if it means it will look good and clean, any help is greatly appreciated thanks http://www.tattoos99.com/tattoopics/body/leg/leg_tattoo_91.jpg

    The artist who's done my last few pieces specializes in that kind of style, he is down in cork though.

    His shading/portraits aren't that great, but his linework tribal and other stuff is amazing.
