Get a Tattoo in Ireland!

The Ink Factory has been awarded the best tattoo parlour in Dublin, Ireland, and we are so proud to cater for tourists from around the World.

So you’re coming to the capital and want to return home with something other than a green plastic hat, an unrelenting hangover and a new found love for gingers? Then why not get some Irish inspired ink? From ancient Ogham writing to Leprechauns, we’ve got you covered. Not sure what tattoo to get? We can help with that too!

Minimalist Irish tattoos in general have an awesome look to them. The power of these tattoos is carried in their dramatic pared-down look. Celtic tattoos in particular are popular with tourists. Celtic trinity knots, Celtic crosses and the Tree of Life all have profound meanings related to the history of the Irish people.

Crosses are especially sought after as tattoos, as they combine a strong, bold, minimalist look with clever detailing of intricate lace and knot patterns, as seen all over ancient Irish sources like the Book of Kells. Blackwork-style swirls and Celtic knot shapes are an amazing way of expressing an unflinching display of cultural pride. Our tattoo artists in Dublin have experience in all Celtic style tattoos.

And we’ve even left out other popular tattoos in Ireland such as those with classic harp imagery and the whole world of Shamrock Tattoos, phew.

The claddagh ring is the perfect representation of love, for example. With two arms coming together to grasp a central heart topped with a crown, it captures the unique feeling of unity that comes with love. Claddagh tattoos are equally as special as the rings themselves.
