Would be very interested if anyone had info on this, Carrigaline is a very odd area to put a tattoo shop. Strange. 0 -

Now, I'm not quite sure how it works in a tattoo studios, but I am quite disappointed with atattooed.
One week ago, I emailed asking when was a good time to see Badger regarding some work I wanted to get done, since I live in Dublin and don't drive (that I specifically mentioned in my email). Then I called the studio to get a particular time so that I won't be disturbing anyone getting tattooed by him (and again I specifically said that to the lady on the phone).
On the day I was supposed to see him I rang the studio asking for directions and said I was given that day and time to come in and see him.
On Wednesday, when I finally arrived at the studio, Badger was tattooing someone and asked me to either come back in an hour or on the following day.
I had a friend with me who drove me all the way from Dublin, and I said that to Badger and he said, "well, Jac (the lady who I talked to) isn't working today".
And here I was thinking I'm doing the sensible thing emailing first, phoning in, making sure I wasn't stepping in on someone's time, confirming times and dates... Appalling!0 -

I think you're being a bit unfair. I've known Badger a long time, from long before he was tattooing, maybe I was even a bit of the reason and inspiration he went that route, and he's a good guy.
You need to keep something in mind.... do you really think you are the ONLY one who calls and enquires about getting a tattoo?
Ireland has horrendous overheads for any artist, commercial rates are a killer, I pay 5,000 a year in commercial rates even before even opening the doors, then we have outlandish rents, electric bills, supplies, and so on and so on. If you didnt have an appointment with a cash deposit, then give him a break. Do you have any idea how many people DONT show up, how many people ask loads of questions with out returning, how many people miss appointments? Badger doesnt pay his rent babbling at the empty walls waiting for people.
Personally, I think he should have told you to wait a minute, and then took a break from his job at hand to field your enquirey, and then set an appointment for you, but we all work differentley.
But the bottom line is the man has to make a living, hes a good artist, and runs a good studio. I think posting a negative comment in a public forum is a "bit over the top"

hi i live in kerry but will travel wherever needs be to get a portrait tattoo of my daughter..ive been into metal urges in tralee where i got a large tattoo done before by a canadian girl called Krys and it was spot on but sadly she has moved on traveling around.I just want to ask who the best portrait tattoo artist would be in Ireland for a picture perfect tattoo..thanks in advance
Hi, your best bet is to check out a few places, bring your photo with you, and form an opinion and decision yourself rather than relying on others opinions. There's lots of good artists around who will do portrait work, in different styles. Also, what can they do in relation to your own possible budgetary restraints?
I've, attached a few of my own for you to look at also, Pluto
(p.s. the baby face surrounded with color trim is a partial coverup of bad tattoo and the surround is still in need of its final session) enjoy.....

Guys stuff like this should be taken to PM, if you want work from someone who posts here keep it off thread. Warnings have been dealt before.
Pluto, you seem really nice and helpful but go easy on the self promotion. You were already sent a PM by Hellrazer to this effect which was pretty self explanatory. Leave a link to your studio in your signature. If people wanna see your stuff they will click the link. Simple as, they can also check portfolio page to which I added you to.
Speaking for myself here (can't speak for Damo or Hellrazer, they may take a different approach) anymore picture dumps, and self promotion will get you a ban. As I've said you seem real nice and helpful and happy to have you here helping others but your walking a fine line.0 -
