Step inside one of Dublin’s most iconic tattoo studios for an after-hours celebration of tattooing as fine art. Hosted in our Temple Bar studio, Wildcat Art & Ink invites Culture Night visitors to explore the crossover between body art and traditional media.

Throughout the evening, guests can:
Watch our artists demonstrate real tattoo techniques on practice skin
Try their hand at tattooing themselves using real tattoo machines (on fake skin, of course!)
View original oil paintings and prints by our resident tattoo artists
Enjoy tea, coffee, and soft drinks in a relaxed creative space

This event offers a rare chance to experience the artistry behind tattooing in an open, welcoming environment — no appointments, no needles on real skin, just pure creativity. Our team will be on hand to guide guests, discuss their work, and share the connection between tattooing and fine art.

Whether you’re tattoo-curious, a fan of visual art, or just in search of a unique Culture Night experience, all are welcome.

While the first session at 19:00 is now fully booked, an additional session has been added at 20:00.
