So then, we absolutely demolished our slices of Bambino's, and went on in. We were greeted by very friendly tattoo artists. They took payment, we waited for about 15 minutes, and then they got to work. I personally went for the Irish harp to remember my trip by. The process was quick and painless. Our tattoo artist was lovely, staying past closing to finish on our tattoos. Everything about the process was professional and clean. If you're in Dublin, come here for a tattoo. You won't be disappointed. It's crucial that you remember this wonderful country. I will be back for more tattoos.

I'm all man, I have never found the need to avail of the services of Adonis Body Piercing, yeah? I just had cause to visit the place a number of years ago to give a friend moral support. Hope that's cleared everything up for you all. You might never have noticed Adonis Body Piercing as you walk down South William St. That would be because Adonis is located in the back of Miss Fantasia's, a sex shop, which you may have noticed. My first, and to date only, experience of the wonders of Adonis Body Piercing occurred a number of years ago, more than a few, as I was still in school and not even eighteen yet. A friend of mine was getting her belly-button pierced, so I went along better to give her moral support, and probably also for want of anything else to do. And it was quite exciting, walking through a real-life sex-shop, looking at the walls lined with all these exotic wares (and no doubt not having the slightest clue how any of them were meant to be used). My friend was understandably a little nervous; she was even younger than I was, and had never really done anything of this nature before. And then we met Glen. In tattoo and piercing circles, Glen is something of a legend. He's one of those people who decide to really go for the whole body-art thing - he has loads of plastic pellets embedded under his skin and everything. As a result of this, he's a pretty strange looking guy, by conventional standards. But he isn't unfriendly. In fact he may be a little too friendly, as his efforts at seeming amiable and ebullient resulted in him seeming more like he was manic and unbalanced. This isn't very reassuring if you're about to have your flesh penetrated with a sharp metal object wielded by this person. My friends nerves deteriorated somewhat. However, the job was done quickly, professionally and relatively painlessly, with a nice sterilised dressing at the end. Soon my friend had forgotten about her mental trauma, and had a bellybutton the envy of every girl in school. So if you do want something pierced, head into Adonis Body Piercing in Miss Fantasia's, and be sure to ask Glen to show you some of his more crazy additions, he won't mind and in fact appreciates people's interest.

When we arrive, after walking past loads of PVC outfits, phallic toys, and other fetish merchandise - we met Glen. Glen and a woman were discussing compost. It was surreal. He was very polite and professional. Amiable is a brilliant word to describe him. He had her fill out a form and led us to the back room, which is where he did his 'magic'. Everything seemed clean and sterile, though I can't say to be an expert in this area - he did seem to dispose of parts that came in contact with her and everything was wrapped in plastic ahead of time. The price was reasonable and non-Yelp reviews fairly good. If you mention his website, it is 36 Euros, otherwise the procedure is 40 Euros including the belly-bar yoke. It was done before you could blink. I thought it would of taken longer with more preparation. There was no screaming or anxiety. I told Glen I would of thought there'd of been screaming and he wryly replied, 'From her or me?'

Even when it turned out that I couldn't take pain as well as we'd planned for-turns out I'm a complete wuss-, he did a serious amount of Overtime to get the tattoo done. They told me how to take care of the tattoo afterwards and what ointment to get to help it heal. And talking to some other tattoo-fans after I found out that for the time spent on my tattoo and the amount of detail it was quite possibly the cheapest place. If you're a tattoo novice, this is a great place to go for an initial consultation, these guys are great!

From the moment I walked in, the staff were incredibly welcoming and made me feel comfortable right away. This was my second tattoo (but my first time here), and Roy was great throughout the entire process.

I never felt rushed (he even took the time to answer all of my questions in full detail) and it was clear he genuinely cared about making sure I loved the final result. The tattoo was also very reasonably priced, which made the experience even better. If I'm ever back in the area and looking to get another tattoo, I'll definitely be coming back! Highly recommend!

The staff here (or at least the guy I was dealing with) aren't the friendliest bunch and aren't that accommodating.

It also means they are likely to do a good job. I stopped in one day and asked a few questions regarding a piercing I need to have looked at. The guy working was professional and really informative, and he let me know that the kind of piercing I had had in my ear was basically a novelty piece and was the reason my ear kept reacting badly to it. He said they had the right kind of barbell I needed. I bought the piece and he put it in for free. It also should be mentioned that they have weekly specials. When I stopped in, you could get your nipple pierced for a mere 25 euros! Not bad.
