I went here for my first tattoo a few days ago and had an amazing experience. I knew I wanted to…read moreget a tattoo while in Ireland and this place had really good reviews, so I looked at their artists. Ash had work that spoke to me the most so I sent her a message on Instagram asking for her pricing and describing what I wanted. She got back to me quickly and we got something on the books for when I was free during my trip. You pay a €50 deposit when you book and the rest has to be paid in cash after your session is done. When I arrived they checked me in and Ash came and got me a few minutes later. She let my friend come back with me for moral support and to help me answer questions. Ash showed me the sketches she did based off of my request and we made a couple of tiny edits so it was exactly how I wanted. She then printed a few size options out so I could figure out how big I wanted it to be, then she printed out the stencil. Once I got in the chair Ash was very gentle and walked me through everything, answering all of my questions. The tattoo itself hardly hurt at all. I'm someone who has chronic pain so I'm used to being in pain all the time, so that could explain why the tattoo pain didn't bother me at all. I just chatted with Ash and my friend the whole time and was totally fine. The tattoo itself took about an hour and a half to complete. Once we were done, Ash put on some Second Skin and walked me through the aftercare. She gave me a few sheets of Second Skin to take with me so I could make sure my tattoo was protected while I wandered around Dublin for the next few days. She answered all of my questions and I left feeling confident in my ability to take care of my new tattoo. I'm now three days into the healing process and it's doing great! The first night was brutal and I was kept up by the pain most of the night but after that it was much more manageable. I have it uncovered now and am moisturizing it whenever it gets dry or tight feeling. I can't wait for it to be fully healed in a few weeks! I thoroughly enjoyed my experience here and would definitely go back again if circumstances allowed. If you're looking for a fantastic tattoo parlor, this is your place!

When it came time to get an important coverup done I was seriously impressed by Maja and the staff…read moreat Atattooed. My introductory and subsequent emails were answered promptly, which is a bit of a rarity in the tattoo world, sadly. I was flying in from the US for the session and they were very helpful in terms of the info needed to wire my deposit . The preliminary sketches -with options for colour and black and grey - were also delivered in a timely manner, which was delightful. I arrived the morning of my session and was met by a chipper lady behind the desk - Jacqueline is pretty awesome and personable - who handled the paperwork quickly and passed me off to Maja. Maja's portfolio is quite lovely, especially her black and grey work, so I had faith that she could fulfill my expectations. She got my final approval of the sketch, arranged the stencil over the art to be covered and then we set to work; the whole time she was easy to talk to, made sure I had breaks if I wanted them and generally was quite responsive...and she's also got a light touch, which made the 4-something hour session fly by. My arm is still healing, but the ink was put in solidly, there's a lot of nuance in the grey and she did some brilliant highlighting in addition to flawlessly covering up the original piece. I have total faith that it'll heal beautifully and I'd actually be willing to fly back out to Dublin just to get more work done by her in the future. (and if I remember once it heals up I'll post a picture)

I saw Classic Ink had good reviews from other travelers so we stopped by shortly after they opened. Steven was super friendly and happy to help. He reviewed our design ideas and scheduled an appointment for us later in the day. Steven took my concept and created a stencil for my approval. The tattoo was completed exactly as I had envisioned it and I couldnt be happier with the quality and service. Steven is super chill and interesting to talk to. I'll definitely come back on my next visit.

Note that Enya doesn't take walk-ins, so scheduling an appointment in advance is a must. Enya is: Patient - Despite having this appointment on the books for months, I still didn't know what I wanted or where I wanted it, even by the time I walked in the door. Enya was so kind & accommodating. We tried different stencils in different placements & carefully narrowed down the design together. Kind - I was immediately put at ease in the shop. Enya, Francesca, (the artist with the station adjacent to Enya's) & all of the other folks in the studio were so welcoming & friendly. Funny - I was hooting & hollering quite a bit during the tattoo process. The time flew by. I felt like I made a few friends. Talented - It came as no surprise to me that Enya is a graduate of one of the top art schools in the country. She has an incredible imagination & wittingly executes her ideas on paper & on skin. I'm honored to have her artwork on my body forever. Gentle - No pain! Sphynx Tattoo & Piercing has recently moved to a convenient location right on Usher's Quay. I highly recommend visiting!
