Piercers and Tattoo Artists in Ireland

Metal urges in Tralee, beside the brogue inn on Rock st. Both Marek & Arnas (if he's back from holidays) are really nice guys and do excellent work.

Jack B. Badd - is that Danny Guilfoyle by any chance, red hair and a medusa piercing?

Red hair alright but tbh I didn't notice a piercing...well actually, I noticed lots of piercings but no medusa. Really nice guy and decent piercer from what I can tell

Have been there a couple of days ago to have a look cause I'm thinking of getting another tattoo and I have to say that they were sooo unfriendly and arrogant.
Wouldn't dare going there again - first impression counts...

Hey does anyone know what the guy in Triple X in Cork is like? Raoul or something? I want to get my first tattoo and just looking for a well-recommended place around Cork? I've only heard he was good but expensive...anyone have any other opinions?

Gauge

Everyone I know who has gone to him has found him very good and would recommend him. He's sound out.

Is Zulu tattoo in templebar a good place to go? I went in there to get a tattoo priced a while back, and it didn't really strike me as a very professional-looking place. Most tattoo and piercing places look like a doctor's office, but zulu is all tribal and wooden. It does look much cooler, admittedly, but wood isn't one of the more easily sterilizable materials... I asked some friends who had got stuff done there, and they were effusive in its praise, mentioning how they change the clingfilm and tinfoil after every customer... How does one sterilize cling film and tinfoil? I'm probably over analysing this, as they are one of the best shops in dublin, but I'd just like some input. Thanks.

Meh. It really depends on who inks you, imo. I mean I had a very simple piece done there and it got screwed up. Messy line work, and just crap ingeneral. And I was overcharged. Big time.

It really depends on what you wanna get done.

Beliky

Hi there, im new to the forum and im looking to cover up an existing tattoo.



Any suggestions for ideas......im pretty open to anything. The others I have are all mixed designs depending on my life at that time.

Oh and recommendations for tattooists in Northern Ireland too.

Cheers

I was going to get mine there too but it didnt look very clean and i knew a few people who had went in for easy things like stars and such and they got messed up big time so i went to celestial ring instead,much better place

A small update. Now online... www.thewasp.org Not just about tattooing,but a personal website. I hope you visit and enjoy.

Just checking to see what's going on here and I have noticed all you guys are talking about are relatively new studios.

Just want to mention Dragon Tattos Studion that has been in operation for over 20 years, and obviously, considering its time in business oes not need to advertise but anyone serious about a tattoo should go there. It is a family ru business with the owner Bren and his son, nephew and staff all being experts, and widely renowned amongst serious tattoists for skill, cleanliness and being very professional. You are unlikely to find anyone underage being tattooed as they have strict policies on this. I don't know how many of you have heard of them but I hav one one by Neill, which is absolutely great and anyone who asked about it had always heard of them. Highest on my recommendations. it's always best to go with someone who has a proven track record over such a long period.

Beliky, I'm up north as well, and planning on my first tattoo. Still cant make my mind up deffo what I want.

Anyhoo, try www.darkangeltattoos.co.uk they're in Belfast
also www.tommygunns.co.uk (Belfast City Skinworks)
There is also a place called Ink Castle somewhere in Belfast.

Now, I've only looked on their websites, haven't actually been in talking to any so far, but I'm kinda leaning towards Dark Angel. Either that or I'll go down to Dublin and get mine done. Oh yeah, and www.triskeletattoos.com in Enniskillen

Good Luck!

Woah, that's pretty awesome.

I'm afraid I can't help you, but I had to say that that's a tattoo worth getting.

ben26882

thanks that makes me feel better about getting it! it isnt her poem but she used to quote it to me when i was little, its about a boy becoming a man, i told her i liked it and she write it out for me.

linkage to metal urges in tralee..
Not seen any writing that the guys have done, but I'd check Arnas out if your around the area anyways

Thephantomsmask

Definitely check them out, l haven't seen any writing either but Arnas did a chest piece for a friend recently with some very fine linework which looks great. If you're willing to travel then you could try the Midleton tattoo convention at the end of the month, you may not get tattooed there but you'll get to see the work of a lot of artists around the country. A word of warning though, don't touch from the gunn in Tralee with a 10ft bargepole, my piercer used to work there before he moved up the country & had a few scary stories about them as well as seeing a few of my friends being hamburgered

thanks ill bear that in mind, has arnos got a web page?

rubytattoo

hi Im a Body Piercer from gorey

I have my own studio and have been piercing for 3 yrs now and i can honestly say

I have so many people come from dublin that have been pierced by the likes of metal morphosis and snakebite and celestial ring and i am of the major opionion that they dont have a notion about piercings they might be a able to do the odd belly and tongue but ask for any tricky stuff and they go to pieces!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D
