Kevin Kileen in Wexford is a SERIOUS tat artist. He does all the main bikers in Irealand, Europe and they even come from the US to get him to work on them. He does really high class custom work. Go to the above artists for the usual wizards and butterflys

er alot of the stuff he has up is flash, and he has faries up. Your promotion fails

Place in wexford, arklow?
www.dublintattoocompany.com

Just a question

Has anyone here had a tattoo done in Metalworks in Galway?
What are their opinions?

haven't seen of heard good things about the place. be wary and check out photos of actual work they have done. if i was you i would look at making a trip down to limerick (allstar ink, danny bullmans)or even up to dublin for peace of mind.

Is tattoo U2 in Macroom any good? Tattoo and piercings?
And are they strict on age?

If somewhere isn't strict on age - you should perhaps consider what else they aren't strict on....

Tattoo Zoo in North Main Street. Very friendly, very calming, very clean, highest quality.

http://tattoozoo.ie/

That's their website, where you can view each tattoo artists gallery.

By the way, does anyone know the name of the piercer in Tattoo Zoo in North Main Street????

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!

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 Pluto, got a few tatts done by you a couple of years ago. I was to make an appointment a couple of weeks after my last one to get it finished but never did.

So, ....... 2 years later , is there any chance you could slot me in some monday (and not be all grumpy with me for not making an appointment last time) to finish it off.

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.

It's not a problem, thanks for understanding.
