Project Description

I traveled to Dublin from South Africa in June 2018. I really wanted to get tattooed in Dublin but couldn’t get a booking from home. Luckily I walked into the Ink Factory and you had a spot for me! My great grandfather was Irish, and at the time he did it, he was the youngest man to travel to the Arctic at just 16 years old. I got the ship he traveled in tattooed on my arm by the amazingly talented Anderson Felix! Now I’ll always have a memory of my family history and my trip to Dublin!
