“Ami James, works on a tattoo for Ellen Griffin from Tralee [Co Kerry] who won a competition on RTE 2fm [Colm Hayes’ Driveby show] after submitting her idea for a new tattoo and telling listeners about her 4 previous tattoo disasters. Ami has joined forces with Irish tattoo artist, Ross Nagle to open a tattoo shop in Cork called the Love Hate Social Club…”
Update:
Fair play though, in fairness.

pretty girl..fugly tattoo, each to their own though
same as that, al. the tattoo doesn’t do anything for her – she looks great without it and i’m not mad on the design but each to their own.
Tattoos are handy when you’re out though – shows you they are old enough and have a history of making bad decisions.
Oh this should get the snide broadsheeters going early in the morning!
Fair play indeed, she managed to look hot while getting tattooed.
What an achievement.
Karl has had to adjust his expectations since he got that job in the morgue.
Ireland needs more tattoos. Its a more efficient way of identifying idiots.
Ireland needs more comments like this, it’s a more efficient way of identifying idiots.
Nice tattoo, Miami.
I don’t have any myself but I’ve a fair idea what people who have a problem with them are like.
and what are they like, praytell?
wait nevermind. i read that wrong. *wanders off to get a first cup of coffee*
And the point of the post being…?
Kids Newz
Probably to cue attacks from the 9-5 cubicle cretin that feels threatened by things they don’t understand.
Heh.
lulz, those 9-5 cubicle cretins are such squares!!
DEY DONT UNNERSTAND US!
yah stupid people with jobs, don’t need ’em to pay my dole…oh hang on!!
Ami James is a better entrepreneur then tattoo artist, he hires great artists but isn’t one. She will regret the placement of that tattoo, it has too defined edges to be that big on its own on her leg and if she wears a short skirt similar to the one she is wearing in the pic she will have a candy skull mouth sticking out the bottom and the rest hidden. Placement is everything.
Thank gawd I don’t wear short skirts, I’ve a similar sized one in the same spot :)
That’s not a tattoo. It’s a birthmark from when your mother tried to push you back in.
Shut it one ball…. yeah I know. I heard it all. Only one bollick on ya. Lost the other to a piercing didn’t ya! You should be called Manfewer not Mani.
Now close the zip on that mask and get in the corner until called upon, good lad.
‘Manfewer not
Mani’? Jesus wept. It’s like being savaged by a puppy.
I struggled with that one Mani… it sounded so sh*te I went with it :)
I have been known to frequent an auld kilt from time to time so i have plenty of experience showing off my tattooed pins. Now if i could only find a short skirt to fit my fat ass into id be flying.
Too much info :)
That what people said when i sat down in it, legs akimbo.
Have you actually seen what kids wear these days?
Dresses are now swimming togs! Look at Grafton Street around 9pm next Friday!
Funny enough i was in town the other day for the first time in ages and i s**t you not a girl and guy walked past me she was in a bra and hot pants and he was wearing a skinny long wife beater and i assume shorts but his wife beater was looking like a man dress. I was like fair play to yis it wouldn’t be for me but fair play to yis for having the balls to walk around mostly naked.
Have you heard the so called music they listen to?? It’s just noise!!
Mani, i mostly listen to industrial metal and some warp label records, so i could hardly talk about music that people think sounds just like noise.
Cheers for the info but I was taking the piss.
listening to industrial metal in your kilt? photos please..
scottser, i dare not reveal my secret identity here.
I agree. When I was young and naive I got something similar in the exact same position and I seriously regret placing it there. Love the tattoo but I would dearly love to have it moved elsewhere.
The tattooist is a bit of a dish too
Not a great tattoo IMHO but not on my leg so as long as she likes it
She’s had 4 previous tattoo disasters? Will this new one turn out to be a Day Of The Dread?
I’ll get me coat.
Does anyone consider how they will look when they are old?
Yep.
And so begins the ridiculous questions and statements about a person own personal style.
That pretty red rose on the 19 year old shoulder will fade, and look like a cabbage when the shoulder is 40.
Ever heard of a touch up…. Job done, and that concern put to bed.
I got my first one 14 years ago and its still looking pretty fresh. Why are you so bothered about what other people will look like when there older? Are you that obsessed with peoples looks that it doesn’t matter if there a nice old person because to you they will look like some wrinkled tattooed freaks.
I’ll assume that was intended for Chris. I’ve three tats myself.
Yeah sorry clamps the replying here gets a bit lost sometimes.
There their, there. :)
Ha ha Dee i’m a lost cause with my there’s, Sometimes I’m lucky i can communicate at all with my total lack of grammar.
maybe you should just use “der” all the time instead. no one will know then ;) :P
@Drogg
Just about as wrinkly as the next person without tattoos I suppose, just a little bit more colorful!
yes. wrinkly but with some interesting stories to tell.
Just because you get a butterfly on your ankle or the chinese symbol for love on your arse doesn’t automatically make you more interesting.
I’d even argue it makes you less interesting. You’re so insecure and dull you have to permanently scar yourself to make yourself more “interesting”.
that or you appreciate art and you want some art on your body.. and you decide to get tattoos when you’re in your mid 30’s or late 40’s when you certainly aren’t insecure in any what so ever…
*insert what the hell are you talking about smiley here*
Miaow!
That’s actually quite interesting.
Tattoos don’t make you interesting.
That’s not what Starina said….
It doesn’t guarentee an interesting story either
True Rotide :)
Im going to get a tattoo of Ellens lovely face on my leg
I’m going to get a tatttoo of Ellen’s leg on my leg
I’m going to get a tattoo of my leg on Helen.
Holy Suggestive Pose Batman!!
RTE encourages people to disfigure themselves?
Is this a thing now?
moan, moan , moan!
I take it you’re unfamiliar with marty morrissey.
Im sorry everyone doesn’t want to look exactly like you. May i offer you an egg in this trying time?
I hope so.Bit of fun for a change
Crikey. That’s some tattoo, not my style.
The placement of the thread from her shorts in the first photo is quite unfortunate.
A tattoo of a skull! Outrageous new thinking. Has a paradigm ever been shifted so far before?

Kerry women are the best looking women in Ireland.
Ellen Griffin.A poor misguided child won a competition,Jesus wept.
Yuck
a tattoo of a mermaid with her jugs out on your forearm is the only tattoo worth getting
ya think? i’ve always thought the tricolour with the IRA faction of your choice intitialed underneath was the favourite.
+1,000,000 ;)
Does Lazlo have a skull tattoo? boo hoo ;)
Thanks for all the “nice” comments… Water off a ducks arse as far as I am concerned!
Trilled with the tattoo, the placement, colour, design. My body, my choice, my reasons… Couldn’t be happier! Some of ye might be bitching but yer still talking about me aren’t ye… :D
