Meet the Tattoo Artists

While serving with the Australian army I became friends with the local tattooist. I eventually got him to teach me so that when I left the army I walked in to a full time job with him. I have tattooed all over the world since then. In 1999 I came to Ireland and have tattooed all around the country and eventually settling in Clonmel. In 2006 we set up Flaming Dice Tattoo & Piercing with Aoife as business partner and owner of the Dungarvan Studio.

I have had an interest in art and design since I was very young. I was fascinated with tattoos and ended up getting a Saturday job working in the Clonmel Tattoo Studio. I showed such an interest in the tattooing process that I got my first tattoo machine after six months and became Dave's apprentice. Two years later a second studio was opened in Dungarvan with me as business partner and owner. The Dungarvan studio has been opened for two and a half years. Something new is learned everyday and you should never judge a book by its cover.
