THE DUBLIN INTERNATIONAL Tattoo Convention took place in the Convention Centre Dublin over the weekend.

Not only did the three-day long gathering bring together tattoo enthusiasts from Ireland and abroad, but some of the world’s most renowned tattoo artists were there to ink those who came along.

For the artists themselves there were also seminars to share ideas and thoughts about modern tattooing.

Others just went along to have a look, so here’s a taster of the kind of art on display.
