Ya, 21 Upper Gerald Griffin St., Limerick.
Tattooist is Steve Savage, he used to work in Spiral Tattoo in Foxs Bow. Nice studio with pretty good work. Piercer in there too.

this is complete second hand information and i cant verify it but i was told it is being st up by a guy who didnt really finish his apprenticeship because the guy who was teaching him left the country and he just decided to set up that shop himself

if im wrong i apologise but this is what i was told and i would confirm the guys history before you let him tatto you

Melion

Someone on the Limerick forum told me its Jay and Sparky that had the shop on Broad St who have set this one up. If thats true then id have no problem letting them tattoo me, ive seen there work and it is top quality.

you're right, their work is top quality, but it's not them setting up this shop, though they are moving shop, its not there!

From what i was told a while back, i doubt it.

I popped in to Bullman's yesterday, to price a piece, and was surprised to find that they don't have any portfolios in the shop. You can see their stuff online, but the only references they have in the shop are flash books. I thought this was quite weird, given their good reputation.

earleuginedoyle

does anyone know if hard knox has opened?? or has anyone seen any resulting tattoos??

Melion

Yeah it opened about 6-7 weeks ago. I havent seen any of the work from there yet though. They are starting a lot of advertising this week in the local papers etc.

he served his apprentice under el loco martinez who tattooed danny bullman,and danny only let the best near him,iv seem some of steves work and i was impressed,he did two portraits and the likeness was amazing,only a really good artist would even try to do a portrait,a lot of so called tattooists in limerick wouldent even try,check him out ,,

Hard Knox opened over 3 months ago..the tattoist is steve savage who previously worked in fox's bow for 3 full years, so he has most definately finished his apprentiship.
the body piercer is also a former employee of fox's bow...
the work done is of a high quality and i would advise some of the people using this page to verify there info before posting it, as your coments could be damaging to someones reputation

Star Lord

Adame sounds like you work there... ?

As you can see I issued a warning for posting information that was 'second hand' information and unverifiable.

adame

yes i do work there...
we have been open for some months now, the shop is owned by steve savage..and ive been reading comments on this page for a few weeks now and thought it was about time someone filled everyone in on the shop facts....steve is twenty one and has completed his apprentiship over a year ago he has been tattoing for 4 years..im the body piercer and im fully qualified and licenced for work within europe ,piercing since 2003...there are a few good shops in limerick at the moment and a lot of high quality work is being produced...dr j and sparky closed there shop roughly two months ago and at the moment dr j is working in hard knox on a temporary basis as a guest artist, working only with his own clients on a booked in basis only...we are open from 10 to 6 monday to saturday and are contactable by phone and e mail...both are available on our HARD KNOX face book page

That you didn't try to hide that is a very good thing
Just be sure to faminiarise yourself with the rules, there is no touting/advertising for business allowed. We have a couple of professionals who contribute now and again, but only along the lines of giving advice etc...
Other than that, welcome aboard

seriously, what the furry**** are people thinking?

Star Lord

They're not, or they're thinking that Boards might be a great place to try to self-promote.

They think wrong of course!

hitlersson666

When people try to spam there service on Boards they lose my respect very fast :rolleyes:

I actually considered them for my tounge but i'll guess I'll stick with Foxes Bow and fork out 85 squid

Seany there was no need to report that post, as it is now 5 months old, appreciate the thought though!
