If you're a tattoo person, getting work done by Enya (@enyaaliceink) while in Dublin should be a high priority on your to-do list. 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!
PS - Don't pull on the door handle like a f***ing animal, like I did. read more
