Thanks for the contact details folks! Handy little board this eh, I'm new to it!

Does anyone here have any implant experiences themselves?

bungo · 13-10-2006 9:16am

Like I said dude! Black magician n pretty adept from what I've heard!:eek:

Xochi · 13-10-2006 9:19am

Thanks bungo but I'm after an implant artist not a witch or exorcist! Hehe!:rolleyes:

Anybody know what the piercer from Living Art in Cork is like? I had a chat to him on the phone earlier about my nape piercing (which is all of a week old & already a problem) and he said he'd have a look at it tomorrow for me.

Yes Glen works out of Miss Fantasia's in South William St and he will do implants in any part of the body but you're better going in and chatting to him first. He won't bull**** you and will tell you if its do-able or not. You'll have to be over 18 though because despite what Stephen says, Glen will stick to the letter of the law and won't touch anyone who is not of an age to be pierced or implanted.

With regard to the guy whose son was pierced, well it COULD have been black magic - Glen is very persuasive

but joking aside I know from personal experience that Glen is not a Satanist but an adept of Kabballah and an anthropologist without comparision!

Don't be afraid, go in and talk to him and you will get an honest answer.

I second everything said above about Glen, he's and myself are the only artists on the scene who had training in doing implants rather then just getting the kit and reading about the operation.

I've had implants done by glen and had no problems with them and they've been settled 5+ years.

tut tut emmet you dirty lil man you

didnt know you did implants? suppose theres alot i dont know huh. Im healing fine by the way :cool:
i also know paddy in bodyshock does em, but yeah i have heard of Glen's talent. Saw him in eh doyles once, his arms look fairly cool i have to say.

amazingemmet · 16-10-2006 8:06am

I only do work on friends now. Personally i'd avoid paddy in bodyshock as alot of his work hasn't impressed me or his procedures about doing them. If you like his arms you should see his back, has a full japanese style dragon done by one of the masters in japan, think it was yoshi-toshi but not 100% sure, But is a sweet piece none the less.

Xochi · 16-10-2006 10:45am

Ah so you do them too! Where are you based?

My personal favourite piercer in Dublin at the moment, is Mark in Celestial Ring - Stephen's Green. He's brilliant. Doesn't mess things up, good for advice and there's no bull****. Don't go near the british girl in there though, she made a mess of my labret piercing.

Phenobarbidoll · 24-11-2006 11:49am

Mark is brilliant, and a nice guy to boot. 2 thumbs up there

Shelli · 24-11-2006 12:24pm

Anyone know of any good female piercers in Dublin?

DanteThePilgrim · 26-11-2006 6:37pm

Just dropping by to discourage anybody from going to Raven's in Cork. Personally, I think that he's expensive and his work is not great.

jayj · 26-11-2006 8:19pm

I can't remember her name, but there's a female piercest in Celestial Ring in Stevens Green who's great, she's tall, skinny with one ear full of rings and the other full of scaffolds. Why female, out of curiousity?

Will · 12-01-2007 5:41pm

yeah she stretched my nipple for me, very professional. and her ears were hella cool too, from somewhere in england i think

No Problemo!

shirasoni · 28-01-2007 4:40pm

Hey, has anyone here gotten a three-point spiral piercing and/or knows + recommends a piercer who's done it? I've looked high and low in Cork and haven't found a single piercer who has done what I want: http://wiki.bmezine.com/index.php/Ear_Spiral (except a guy in Living Art, whose only done two-point spirals). Jewelry's no problem since I ordered a piece in the States a few weeks ago.

porn_star · 28-01-2007 5:02pm

I think the piercer in Holy Cow in midleton has done stuff like that. if you're going there though, you'd wanna ring up cos she doesn't work everyday, as far as i know.

Lena Ribena · 29-01-2007 3:38am

Does anyone have any info on the Aussie fella workin in Triple X tattoo studio in Cork, I've heard he's done some great work but I'm just looking for a little more feedback??:p

Gillie · 29-01-2007 1:34pm

Apparently The Vibe Tattoo's are opening in Sligo soon?
They have a place in Mullingar. Anyone know anything about them?

Was in Metal Works last summer. Had Lettering done. Absolutely delighted! I think his name was Gordon?

Got one done in Derry years ago and was perfect.
Got one done in Letterkenny (Don't think he's there anymore) and was very disappointed with it. Gonna get it covered.

nickisface · 29-01-2007 5:06pm

Kersh · 11-02-2007 8:37pm

Glen works from Miss Fantasia on South William Street.

Is he Welsh?
I got my Calvin tattoo done a few years ago (really happy with it), and now I want Hobbes done, but i heard he went back to Wales soon after doing Calvin (2004).
Is he back here?

fran07 · 12-02-2007 3:54pm

I'd be looking for more feedback about that fella too. I met him: he seemed a nice guy and sure the tattoo he's got on his arm looked very very nice and neat. Anyone out there got some work done by him?

Phegasus · 26-02-2007 1:11am

which place in dublin is the best for a PA? and which is better a PA or a reverse PA?

Anyone been to Spiral Tattoo ,Foxes Bow,Limerick?

I am also curious about this place. Just off williams st in the city centre, and tattoos done by a guy named el loco martinez. haha, a name that inspires confidence for sure... His portfolio looked good, but I'm not crazy about getting a tattoo done by someone ive never heard any feedback about.

Also, any other experiences with tattoo parlors in Limerick?

Roncalli · 28-02-2007 6:44pm

Does anyone have the artwork for a tatoo of Cu Chulainn like the statue in the GPO in Dublin. I'm in Houston Texas and want to get this Tatoo done. Any replies would be appreciated.

Hey,
I'm looking to get a collage piece done on my forearm, would someone be able to recommend a shop, or artist for this kind of work?

Cheers.

Karona_Marona · 13-03-2007 3:40pm

In zulu the starting price is 60 euro. I got 8 stars on my ankle and it only cost me 80 euro.

Fantasy_Suicide · 13-03-2007 4:05pm
