hi ! im planning on getting my lip pierced during the week . in peoples opinions is Adonis Body Piercing Studios much good for piercings since its so cheap , or is it another georges st arcade as such ? anyone know?

Captain Ginger

Haven't heard anything about it myself but I'd probably head to one with a good reputation even if it means you have to pay more.

If you're in Dublin deffo go to Snakebite!!


Steve's great!! had something done there recently and i'm never going anywhere else again!!

Captain Ginger

Inkwell is fantastic as well, and very good value.

Le Rack

inkwell and snakebite all the way, although I do kinda know glenn in Adonis and know plenty people who've got pierced by him and swear by the place, but jaysus if you're in dub you've got your pick of awesome places...

plug-in-baby

hmm okies ! thanks

As far as I know he good. A friend swears by him, also isn't he pretty much the guy to go to if you want implant work done??? If it's him he'd be a good piercer also

Captain Ginger

Might be worth taking a look in there anyway, if I remember correctly they had some cool jewlery there.

just some large gauge stuff, nothing out of the ordinary

Have two piercings myself. Both were done in Adonis by Glen.

First was my eyebrow which was done 7 years ago and still going well.

Number two was my tongue which went without a hitch also. Can't remember what it was but he was about to spray something in my mouth (presume it was a mild anaesthetic) and I mentioned I was asthmatic. He stopped immediately and called his local pharmacist to find out whether the spray was ok to use on me and also if the piercing would affect me due to swelling. Both of which were fine.

Completely professional and I would trust him completely.

Apart from that anaesthetic shouldn't be used on any piercings, as:
1) It's really not needed
2) If something isn't right, the anaesthetic can mask that, and the piercer won't know before you've left the studio.

Will

I presume it was a spray style mouthwash??

Star Lord

I've heard of places using spray anaesthetic before though, which really is a bad idea as I'm sure you'd agree Wilburt!

Will

oh yeah heard of places like that, but those places are hack job studios. Adonis is not

Star Lord

Not suggesting that Glen is anywhere near a hack job :eek:

More just commenting on the mention of anaesthetic, when I brought my GF's sister to get her tongue done, she kept asking the girl doing the piercing for anaesthetic, as her friends that had their tongues pierced had got spray anaesthetic when they were getting theirs done. Took me and the piercer a while to talk her out of it, and the piercing went perfectly well, and she was fine after.

Will

Ah my sincerest apologies Damo, I misunderstood you (as per usual)

He uses an oral version of xylocaine about a 3% solu of an otc brand, can't remember the name off the top of my head, It does sfa to numb the pain of the piercing but it stops people flinching when they are being clamped.

Also the reason for glen being cheap is, basically he isn't paying 2k per week rent that some of the "better" studios are paying, Just remember the cost of materials in a piercing are a very small factor in the total cost, needle about €1, bcr for example €2, autoclave bag €0.50. So if you're paying €50 for a piercing and €4-5 is what the equipment cost makes you wonder what the rest is for.

My mate got her septume done in there a while ago, and he didnt do a great job on it, not only my thoughts, the guys in snakebite said the same when she got them to check it out for her.
Snakebite said they'd fix (not the best word, but im tired) it for her if she wantd to but she was to poor.. aww

But yeah anyway, not a great story on glens part.

Soundman

Yes, AmazingEmmet. That is the stuff. Not sure why I said anaesthetic. Was thinking Antibacterial mouthwash, or suchlike. Xylocaine or whatever it was called sounds vaguely familiar. Didn't numb anything but was a little tingly.

Is Adonis cheap? Not having many piercings, and having only gone to Glen I wouldn't know. Thought that they were a pretty standard price.

To respond to this, there's been a fight going on between those two studios for about ten years. Glen was actually one of the founders of that place and came up with the name, then what ever happened and now they bad mouth each other at any chance

It is an anaesthetic

Soundman

Interesting. Still didn't numb anything, though I have a very high tolerance when it comes to getting knocked out. If I am going to the dentist I usually require 7 or 8 shots of anaesthetic.

well those stupid **** in fantasia threw out the best piercer in dublin

AvaKinder

seriously? Where's glen gonna work from now?
