If I'm honest money and time , mostly money have been the issue ... I need badly to express myself in ink at the moment....

To be honest you really get what you pay for. There is one or two lads up here that are reasonably priced and do great work but they have a massive waitlist

Yep yakuza wicked ... honestly over priced even for his skill.

Tattoo parlor... I'd only get the wex girl ... got one in there and had it covered .

Where else ?

There is a guy from gorey , Shane is his name... use to work in homeward bound .. he is excellent... screaming canvas are a bit hit and miss imo ...

If you looking to get some cheap shit, go to Ibiza or shop on Aliexpress

It's your skin and you'll have it for life, you should be looking for experience, quality and examples of work and then save up for it.

And not trying to get Mona Lisa for fiver. It doesn't work that way.

But, it is your skin, as I've already mentioned

I think you could get a bunch of small tattoos like that. But if you want coverage that fits together like a full sleeve I don’t think there’s really a budget option.

Usually sleeves are done at 150/250 #for 3 hours ... however its not my desire for full pieces,

I wouldn't recommend getting a tattoo on a budget. As _rmrs1234 said, you get what you pay for. Good/great tattoo artists ain't cheap. The most important question you can ask yourself is - do you want a good tattoo or a cheap one.

Perhaps an idea is to look for new artists joining an established studio who may do introductory offers. Or alternatively, an apprentice under a well respected artist?

Yeah. Really - “cheap tattoo” is right at the top of the list of things you’re most likely to regret that won’t kill you.

You get what you pay for, don’t skimp on permanent art on you body or like some of the above posters have said ,it will cost you more in the long run trying to cover it up ,

Research your artist,get recommendations and reputable shops

I have tons of tattoos and a few of the ones from my earlier years are shite and badly done, so take it from someone who knows ,lol ,

Currently in the process of coverups etc

You can get it done in stages, full sleeve (depending on what you get €1500) I've done a good few over the years.

Bullmans in Thomas St. & All star ink in Whickham St.
