Studio & Gallery

More Than a Tattoo Studio

West End Art Collective exists as both a working studio and a gallery — a space where tattooing sits alongside contemporary Irish art, rather than apart from it. Custom work is consultation-led, built around what a piece needs to say and how it will hold on the body over time.
