    Hey all,

    I was looking into getting something like this done (just 1 horizontal bar initially down at my wrist - maybe more later).

    Where in Ireland would be a good place to get this done? My local place here in Galway can't do it - guy said he's just not qualified for surgical procedures (he also called me a psychopath for wanting it done, but that's another story). He suggested Metal Morphasis, but I've seen a number of people on this board say no to that place.

    So what's the dilly-oh-yo? Also, anyone have any idea how much something like that might cost?

    Eh what would you call it? Of course it's a surgical procedure, it's just not being done by a surgeon in an operating theatre. It's an invasive surgical procedure that carries more risks than a simple piercing. That's why you must NOT go to metal morphosis! I'm shocked if those clowns are doing implants! They can't even stretc h a piercing without f*cking it up!

    Rob and Steve in Snakebite are best for implants, or you could come along to the tattoo convention in Dublin in November and ask around!

    **edit**
    Silly me, got confused with the implant thread! Yeah pocketing isn't really a surgical procedure :)
    Paddy or Steve and Rob are still best to go to and i'm shocked MM would do pocketing. heh.

    It looks nice it looks like he was stappled by a giant stapler! :p . How long would it take for something like that to heal and how to look after it. I can just imagine it getting caught in something but its still cool.

    Damn, had a friend up in dublin who had that done (And his girlfriend!) but I've not seen him in ages. There's someone else I could ask next time I'm in dublin though, see what they say/
