Tattoo shops in Dublin
A tattoo is a permanent decision made in a room you'll spend hours in, so the studio matters as much as the artist. Dublin, Leinster has 41 tattoo shops mapped right now. All 41 are mapped as tattoo studios proper, and each one is worth a portfolio browse before you commit — style varies more between shops than towns.
This guide covers every tattoo shop we could verify in and around Dublin (within about 40 km), built from OpenStreetMap's community-maintained data. Names you'll run into include Connected Ink and Classis Ink Tattoo Studio, plus Urban Style Tatoo. If a studio's missing from Dublin's list, it probably just hasn't been mapped yet — the scene is bigger than any single dataset.

What the map tells us about tattoo shops in Dublin
13 of the 41 list their opening hours on the map, which is genuinely useful — tattoo studios often work by appointment, so posted hours can be more of a guideline than a promise.
16 have websites listed. Studios with websites usually show portfolios there — the fastest way to tell if a shop's style matches yours.
There's a cluster: 2 of them sit on Old Navan Road, so you can string those into one walk and drive between the rest.
1 of the studios are also tagged for piercings, handy if you're after both in one visit.
The Dublin tattoo shop tour
Plot these on a map and the day plans itself: Connected Ink on Crown Alley, Classis Ink Tattoo Studio on Crow Street, Urban Style Tatoo on 46 Bolton Street, Banjaxed Ink on 22 Dorset Street Lower, Poison Ink on 73 Aughrim Street, South Ink Tattoo on 38 Castlewood Avenue, Golden Cat Tattoo Studio on 49 Fleet Street, and Dark Angel Tattoo Studio on 29 Clanbrassil Street Lower. That's 41 stops on the Dublin tattoo shop tour. 33 more are listed below.
Tattoo tips for Dublin
First tattoo or fiftieth — the rules don't change in Dublin:
- Bring sugar and water at Connected Ink. Sessions run long and blood sugar drops. Candy and a water bottle are standard kit for regulars.
- Moisturise, don't drown it at Classis Ink Tattoo Studio. Thin layers of the recommended ointment. Too much suffocates the skin and slows healing.
- Trust the artist's placement advice. They've seen thousands of bodies. If they say the design won't age well there, listen.
- Don't pick the scabs. Healing tattoos itch and flake. Picking pulls ink out with the scab and leaves patchy spots.
Good to know
We searched about 40 km around Dublin — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new tattoo shop in Dublin can take a while to appear. Spotted a closure among the 41, or a tattoo shop we missed entirely? The map is the source of truth here — one OpenStreetMap edit corrects it for everyone.
We don't rate studios or artists, and we never list prices — those are between you and the shop. What we list is the where and the how-to-find, from places real mappers have verified.
If you run one of the 41 listed here and something's wrong — a closure, a move, new hours — the fix is the same: update the shop on OpenStreetMap and the correction flows through to this page on the next daily refresh.
