Backpacking of one of life’s great joys and privileges, and for those who do spent time travelling to far off places getting into adventures, it’s nice to get a memento of that care-free time.

With St Patrick’s Day coming up, we thought we’d scour the internet for 6 of the best Irish tattoos we could find. Sure, tis all a bit of craic!

One more time! This year is the last ever Great Auckland Flash Party, where we’ll have hundreds of designs going at special prices! Walk-ins only!

Tattoos fade over time, this is just an inevitable effect of the body’s natural defence system, but you can do some things to keep your ink as fresh as possible for as long as possible.

Where you get a tattoo can change the final product, and depends a lot on how inked you already are.
