anyone know of any shops doing decent solid traditional work in Dublin Ireland, city center would be best. Thanks!

from a customer point of view, Im not personally bothered about the artistic skill of the tattooist in terms of making it look real but rather the vibe of what they do and how easy it is to make out. The real full on massive tattoos with loads of color that a few guys are doing such as nick baxter, I do like, but i like it in a photo more than when i see it in real life. I prefer small tattoos so you get dudes with arms that have no real composition to the whole limb with small tattoos everywhere. I find with this you get a sense of where the dudes head was at the time he had each tattoo done! I want a tattoo to look like a tattoo but still want my artist to do more than just regurgitate some very traditional tattoo cliche, i want a traditional looking tattoo with that artists personality stamped on it!

YO! Im Tom im 26 from cheltenham UK Im currently a warehouse manager but Im changing carrier and getting into hairdressing in a couple of weeks! I started getting tattooed at 18 and havent stopped, my favorite style is modern traditional but appreciate all styles. I have been tattooed by: Nick Baldwin (uk), Sam Ricketts (uk) Terry fuller (uk) Jin (uk?) Miss Arianna (italy) SO (japan) Milosch (czec) I want to get tattooed by: Steve byrne, stizzo, shen shubert, franz stefanik, Yakub settgest, the dudes at westside tattoo brisbane and many more! Other than tattoos I love music i play the guitar and mandolin and have been doing so for 20 years, i have a degree in music in fact. I like all types of music but at the moment im real into bluegrass and historically i love hardcore. I played in a thrash crossover band called All city uproar for a few years. Look forward to getting well gel of all the great work people own on here! Peace
