This was my second custom tattoo at Dublin Ink with Mairon and it was another great experience. From the moment you walk in, everyone is welcoming and professional.
Alex was very helpful when scheduling my appointment and gave great advice on placement that made the final result even better. Mairon took my ideas and created exactly what I was looking for. My wife was tattooed by Jackie and had an equally great experience.
If you're looking for talented artists and a shop that truly cares about its clients, I highly recommend Dublin Ink! Side note…the coffee shop inside is excellent as well!

Got my first tattoo here and had such a great experience. My artist was Mairon, who was so professional, patient, and made me feel completely at ease throughout the process. The studio was welcoming and spotless, and I absolutely love how the tattoo turned out. Couldn't have asked for a better first tattoo experience – highly recommend!

Recently got a stunning tattoo done by one of Dublin Ink's artists. The receptionist was so lovely and patient when booking me in and in trying to decipher my poorly explained tattoo idea 😆 The artist, Casas, took the initiative with my very basic idea of a balck crescent moon and elevated it beautifully. Everything about the process and aftercare was explained so well and professional, and any staff I came in contact during the booking, session, and for aftercare were just so friendly and professional. Will definitely be going back there for my next tattoo 🙏🔥

Jota did an awesome job on my Princess Peach tattoo. I’m super happy with it. 5 stars alone for that. Super friendly and made sure I was happy with everything before proceeding.
It was my first time in that studio - and in general it’s really nice in there. All the staff were really cool, too.

Went to Dublin for our 21st Anniversary. I had decided that this would be the perfect time to get my first tattoo. After plenty of research I decided Dublin Ink was the place to have it done. Booked the appointment, flew across the pond and eagerly showed up for our appointment (the wife and I decided for matching shamrock with a 21 to commemorate the occasion). First impression was professional and a light mood,. Marion, our artist worked hard to get us a stencil we would both agree on and gave us recommendations on placement. The vibe was a very team oriented and relaxed which I appreciated. Marion had a very soft touch and super clean lines with the perfect amount of flair. I really liked the way every aspect of our experience unfolded. Both Tattoos healed super well and still look brand new. Thank you to Dublin Ink and Marion for making that moment remembered and enjoyable. Cheers!

So happy out of all the tattoo shops in Dublin I went to this one. The whole staff was so nice with amazing artwork and Jackie (@tattoo.Jackie )was so incredible !! She has different styles, but I chose a fine line and they are perfect. I highly suggest to pop in if you’re ever in town!

Just got my second tattoo today! It was a walk in appointment a couple hours before closing. The artist was very considerate, all safety standards were followed, and it turned out perfect. The line work and the color wash turned out perfect! Aftercare instructions were tailored to my situation (flying home tomorrow) and I was provided with additional second skin to replace what was temporarily applied.

Got this done as a walk in appointment. The guys there were awesome. The lady at the front (who I have unfortunately forgotten their name) was really friendly and welcoming. My artist Marion was amazing, friendly and accomodating. I am not the best when it comes to needles but I felt comfortable the whole time from walking in the door to walking out. 100% would recommend if you are in the area.

I loved the tattoos I got at Dublin Ink! As someone with multiple tattoos, I highly recommend getting work from Kevin or Jackie! Kevin made me feel so comfortable and is a really cool guy and his heavy black portraits are amazing!
Jackie's work is incredible. When it comes to straight lines, vibrant colours and amazingly clean script work, Jackie is the top choice. I would not go to anyone else for script work other than Jackie!

Jackie was amazing! She was so supportive and understanding during my appointment. She walked me through the whole process and even gave suggestions so the tattoo wouldn't sharpie over time. I recommend her to any of my friends looking to get a tattoo! Her line work was also really clean and just what I wanted. :)

Dublin Ink was a real pleasure to get tattooed at. Professional staff with exceptional skills. We came in with a camera crew because we wanted to end our Mine The Streets episode with my guest and I getting tattoos and they were more than accommodating. We gave them an overall concept and they delivered!

The work Norbert does is beyond spectacular and the lovely vibes made for the best tattooing experience I’ve ever experienced, from Dawn at the front desk to Norbert being an incredible artist and everything in between.
Amazing work done by amazing people.
Studios like this are rare!
Thanks guys.

On my first trip to Ireland I wanted a permanent memory. What better way than to carry that memory with me for the rest of my life! I had a short window of opportunity and went to Dublin Ink as a walk-in with no appointment and the staff was very accommodating to my situation. The facility was absolutely spotless and sanitary, so I had no reservations about getting my first tattoo. After completing the initiating process Diego, my artist, proceeded to create a beautiful, high colored with shading, four leaf clover! I love it!
