Hellrazer

Porn star--Ive edited your post.Most of the posters here are really for regulation of the industry and posts like yours only add to the bad image of Tattoo artists and piercers.

Consider this a warning.

We dont encourage underage tattooing / piercing here.

Is there any tattoo parlours in Northern Ireland? Preferably in Derry or Belfast? Good ones as well.

Speaking of age restrictions, is it true that if your parent signs a consent form you can get a tattoo / piercing done?

porn_star

hmm...isn't wildcat in northern Ireland, they've got a good rep!and there's belfast body works..or something...can't remember the exact name, think that's it..they go to the tattoo expo in midleton, i have a friend who got pierced by them.Most studios will pierce with parental consent, yeas..some don't but the majority will, if you're underage!

You have to be over 16 and youir parent has to be present to allow you to get pierced under the age of 18

i happen to be 15 and can get piercings without ID or parents present or a parent permission form or anything.

porn_star

some people can...i've been getting pierced since i've been 12, in the best parlour in the city...they're a strict place, and the only reason i could get pierced is cos iv always looked older then what i am...they now know my real age (now 17) and the piercers laughed when i told them, they didn't mind, cos i became such good friends with them and i always looked after my piercings well....
other parlours will just pierce people, no matter what age, purely for the money....

i may aswell stay on topic, and post another studio...
rebel tattoo, midleton,
cork...
if anyone is interested...
one good piercer..other one not so good(my opinion)....but the one who is good, is spanish, ive seen some nice pieces he's done...also a brilliant tattooist...

There a couple in Belfast, one's just off Royal Ave. Another one is www.darkangeltattoos.com Don't know about Derry.

Had one done at Metal Works in Galway, on Shop Street. Well done and was about 150 euros

munkeehaven

I posted here to learn more about it.

Soundman

I don't think HellRazer was talking to you SuperConor, they had edited another users post I presume as they were saying something defamatory or irrelevant to the topic.

Opeth

I know there are definately two tattoo studios in Derry City, dont actually know the names but a few friends have gone to them. Anyone know of any piercing studios in Letterkenny/Derry/SLigo areas?

no way out

Stigmata-tau.
www.stigmata-tau.com
Excellent tattoo shop!.
I got a very nice back tribal done last friday.
Cathal and Mick have a lot of experience and the shop is extremelly clean!!
I recommend it!!

Léan

I've gotten all my piercings done in Raven on the Coal Quay cork city.
Yer man that does them is really good and professional.
I know there have been mixed reactions by a few people as regards to Raven, but i've always found it to be very good.

porn_star

with regards to cork..i'd recoomend tattoo zoo...she's a diamond of a piercer and the same for the tattooists and they're pretty much the only place in the city who are strict with age limits

FatherWookie

We got Clown Town tattoos and piercers here in Ennis....talk to Tadhg for tattoos or Briona for piercing.

BTW, the age restriction on piercings in this country is bull****. Tattoos i can understand, but piercings?....seriously.

Yeah I mean imagine there being an age restriction on adults messing about and touching your childs genitals or breasts, seriously they are like so closed minded :rolleyes:

<eidt> btw there is no legal age restriction that is not already covered by assault of a minor laws, there is nothing specific to tattoo/piercing, it is studios protecting themselves from legal action for the above reasons.

Eolyn

Ok there is a tattoo place in Tralee. I got one there last year (but wasnt really happy with it so this is not a recomendation) my friend got one also..she really liked hers and it looked good.but a also got my tongue peirced there and its pretty cool.

From the Gunn
Maine st.
Tralee,
Kerry.

He specialises in celtic designs. :cool:

Just spotted one in Naas today but I can't remember the name of it.

It's on Basin Street which is near the Court House. It's the last shop on the right hand side if you're walking from Main Street and it's beside the game shop. The sign said they do piercing and tattoos

mayordenis

JMD's - o'connell street - tattoos and piercings
swineline - parnell court - tattoos and piercings

Femme Tattoo.

O.k, from someone who actually knows what they are talking about....

The best tattoo shops in dublin are
1: Zulu, crown alley.
2: Art Tattoo (formerly Sacred Art), fownes st.
3: Classic Ink, crow st.
(all of the above are located in Temple Bar, i have a lot of tattoos and i wouldn't go anywhere else)
The best piercing shops in dublin are,
1: Body Shock, fownes st upper.
2: Snakebite, middle abbey st.
3: Metal Morphosis, crown alley.
And thats it, for quality and cleanliness.

Other shops around the country worth a visit are, Jo Mylers in Waterford. Clown Town (tadgh) in Ennis. Danny Bullman in Limerick. And one of the best in the whole country is Arnos in Kilarney.

Make Ireland cleaner.. get tattooed!! Well wear everyone!! XXX

Destiny

Irish Ink,
Dominic Street,
Galway.

I find it great,and the guys are good at what they do, I was just in there today.

Meathcat

Anyone been to Adonis in South William St? I heard the guy there is pretty good at piercing.

amazingemmet

I fully reccomend glen in fantasia

Limerick: Living Art is brilliant, and they're also in Cork. I don't have an address but I do have a number. Limerick = 061310900 and Cork = 0214554848. They're really professional and helpful. Answered loads of questions for me.

Waterford: JMD's without a doubt. They did my tattoo and again they're really helpful and kind. Totally recommend them.

boxoid

Tattoo Zoo. North Main Street Cork... 021 4271243
Best Tattoo parlour in the south, the lads and girls in there are a great laugh and its very relaxed.
Its a big open shop with 3 tattoos, one piercer and a receptionist. The shop is spotless... and i mean spotless...

i don't have anything to contribute to this page as i live in Alaska, but thanks for all the information. i will be visiting in May of 2006 and had been wondering where i could get tattoos in Galway, Dublin, and Belfast.
thanks again:)

jen_ring

i think that raven in cork city is one of the best in cork (of course raven being the best!!) but i've had most of my piercings done in raven, and i had to give credit where credit is due, the guy that does the piercings has to be one of the nicest and funniest people ive ever come across, the place is really clean and i highly recommend!!!!

Chaos_Path

Anyone have a number for the tattooist in Portlaoise?

ta2kev

The guy's name is is Rob, he's very good, I've seen his portfolio. He's currently working out of a place called VEGAS, you'll find them in the golden pages. He splits between this place and a shop in Tullamore.

Definitely Irish Ink, Ronan there is brlliant he's done all of mine and most of my friends tattoos. Despite what some people say Irish Ink is a lot better than Metalworks, and their prices are better as well.
