The Ink Factory is Dublin's newest urban social space; incorporating tattooing, bespoke barbering, piercing and coffee under one roof. That's how you do it.
Wildcat Ink have been tattooing and piercing in Dublin since 1999, and one of the best things about them is their great website – giving you heaps in the lines of examples and inspiration.

Okay, another winner on the pun front. And another spot in the very centre of town.
