This epic night out includes DJs, flash tattoos and a cult cocktail return

When was the last time you went out out?
If your idea of a good time involves a bit of chaos, a cocktail in hand, and maybe leaving with a tattoo… we’ve got just the thing.
One of Cork’s coolest tattoo collectives is turning five — and instead of a quiet celebration, The Ink Collective on Langford Row in Cork City Centre are going all out with a proper party at Impala on Thursday, May 21st.
Expect an anything-but-average night featuring flash tattoos, DJs, and the one-night-only return of the much-loved Any Kriek sour cherry cocktail.
The night kicks off from 5pm on Paradise Place and rolls on late, with a stacked DJ lineup keeping the dancefloor busy while people queue up to get inked.

Tattoo lovers can get involved with flash designs priced between €80–€100, with bookings opening via Instagram on May 1st at 3pm. Just a heads up — you’ll need a €50 PayPal deposit to secure your slot, and judging by the hype, these will go fast.
The event also features a gorgeous artwork collaboration from Cathy Hogan, who’s behind the flash designs and the seriously eye-catching poster for the night.
Whether you’re going all-in with a new tattoo, showing up for the tunes, or just popping in for a cocktail and a look around, it’s shaping up to be one of those “no plans turned into a great night” kind of events.
Mark the date — this one has all the ingredients for a very fun Thursday.
