Tattooed in the pub????

Soundman

Anybody see this over on the Gigs & Events board? Post #5 in THIS thread.

They are setting up a tattoo area of sorts in Fibbers the night of Blaze Bayley.

Where on earth could they set up a tattoo studio in Fibbers that could be remotely hygienic? I'm guessing that they wouldn't put it in the hotel, that it would have to remain in the pub somewhere.

Any opinions on this? Is it just me that thinks this is wrong?


Edit: Never mind. Just noticed it's for the Cork show only. Still makes you wonder though.

Oh so wrong! jeebus!

Soundman

See edit Will.

Will

still though, people will be drunk, i can foresee a lot of people waking up the next day with a new tattoo

Soundman

I can only imagine. Though it does say custom designs only. That you have to bring along your own ideas. I don't think I could trust any set up where it isn't in a clinical studio. No portable set-up could offer the health and safety required could it?

Will

to be honest, the organisers should know better

Soundman

But it's a business arrangement, Will. It's all fine now. Haha.

In all fairness, conventions are pretty much the same...plenty of booze flowing at them too....and music....so if it's done properly I really don't see the problem.

Its more the venue id be afraid of.
A convention is one thing, people would have more sense at it like.

But at a bar, a smelly one at that, with a live gig going on at the same time.
Sounds pretty dodgy to me.

Soundman

That was exactly my thinking Cian.

At a Tattoo convention, cleanliness and tattooing are the intent of the exercise. At a Blaze Bayley gig it is a secondary feature. I doubt there will be the same level of care taken in setting up. Venue manager will say that they are taking too much space up, using too many power outlets, blocking a fire escape, etc.....................

Just while I think of it. This is not a stab at the Artists in question. I have heard their name mentioned here before in only good circumstances if I recall.

Has anyone seen their work??? its appalling... I wouldn't get tattooed by them, let alone have it done in a pub.#Just incase, heres a link to their bebo album o work... http://www.bebo.com/PhotoAlbumBig.jsp?MemberId=7671542887&PhotoNbr=1&PhotoAlbumId=8687649069]

There's some nice shading, but lacks general drawing skills.
Room for improvement i think


Tigger isn't very nice...

Jesus they're some bad tattoos.

CianRyan

A bad tattoo and HIV
Oh yeay i just cant wait to get a tattoo in a pub!

sillyGoldie

It was the tiger, wolf and stars, if you can call them stars, and the 'you'll never walk alone' cross thing that got me.....i empathise for the people stuck with them.

I'm actually really surprised that the manager of the Crusicin went for this idea at all. I'd consider it one of my local pubs and one things for sure, it's definitely not set up for tattooing. :eek:

It's a dark, sticky floored venue, really really don't see how a tattooist could even get close to a any bit sterile ennviroment. So annoying this. It shouldn't be allowed at all. Not to mention the tattooist himself has a reputation for being a butcher. :mad::mad::mad:
