Went today to get my first tattoo, had such a good experience I’m already thinking of when to get the next one ! Cheers Megan �

Thanks again Shane for another great piece of work today. Would recommend everyone I meet to go to alternative ink. Never had a better tattoo experience and this is my 3rd with Shane. I always try to keep my tattoos personal and with meaning and they all come out detailed and better than I imagined.

Shane so pleased with my tattoo awesome job looking forward to my next one 5 star rating from me �

Shane is beyond the pale of a Tattooist he is a visual artist and genius at his work

The work he did for me re my tribute Elvis portrait is a work of Art a masterpiece with the most amazing attention to detail I am bewildered to know how he can achieve such fine minute but so important detail within the body of his work .Cannot recommend him enough a cool guy and a Bowie fan what else does one need .



He has a current piece he is working with me at the moment which as expected shaping up to his same high standards

Second time visiting this shop!! Love it came over from London to get me and my sis tats by Richard! We love them thanks!! I'll def be back for a big piece! Such a friendly studio! Awsome tattoo! �

Outstanding tattoo shop, the staff are friendly and good fun. The Tattoo Artist Shane sat down with me and we worked on a tattoo sleeve design that was in my head and we put it all together and so far the ink I have and design is incredible... highly recommend these guys.

Megan did an amazing job and my tattoo meant so much to me and really recommend! Thank you :) xx

Megan and Shane, you are amazing, I was sooo afraid but you put me at ease. I would say to anyone thinking about a tattoo..... Absolutely go for it!! Shane done my tattoo and made it into something beautiful and very special for me and my little girl. She loves and so do I. Thanks for everything you did for us guys, we'll always be grateful ��

I would 100% recommend Shane to anyone, had my first tattoo done yesterday and it was such a good experience! Even though I was the biggest whimp, Shane put me at ease immediately, he was funny, friendly and very professional and I love my tattoo. I will definitely be back for my second!! :D

I walked in without an appointment and asked if someone could do a Tattoo for me to remember my first trip ever out of the states. Shane said he could do it in a couple of hours. I went back and had the best time. He did a fantastic job and the crew were amazing. I'm so honored to have had him do something so special for me. If I lived here I would definitely go back!

I absolutely loved my experience in the shop! Richard done an amazing job! Absolutely love my tattoo! Would highly recommend to anyone thinking of getting a tattoo!!

Have been going to Shane for an on going piece for a few years now. I was back again this week with Megan for my foo dog in the pit and as painful as the experience was, it was brilliant. It turned out way more than I expected, amazing bold colours and very very impressed so much so, that I will be extending it even more in the future

I love AI, they’re all a great bunch of people

Great staff and made to feel very relaxed and will be deffo back ..

Great bunch at alternative ink the craic the coffee and most importantly the work Shane does is excellent. Would recommend this place to anyone looking a tattoo. Cheers guys il b back once I come up with another idea! �

Could'nt give this place enough stars :) I always go in with a picture of what I want in my head, and Shane some how just draws exactly what I try to explain and my tattoos are fab and it's a great experience and not forgetting nina :) always great Craic xx

Can't recommend them enough. Shane has the same twisted sense of humour as myself. That and a great set of tunes playing made 3-4 hours whizz by so fast!!!
