    Hell Funky's tattoo is opening up in a brand-new location, with new stuff and some pretty rad changes.

    One of those changes includes a full time piercer/ shop manager, myself. Meg, hi.

    I have been piercing for seven years and have all sorts of fancy certificates proving that I know what I'm talking about. I will teach you everything you need to know about piercing, what I like to call the "american way" and the "irish way", using different equipment and such. Not only will you learn to pierce but I intend to give my apprentice an education on how the business side of things work, as I will be making up new care sheets, brochures, ordering, doing inventory and doing some accounting.

    I am looking for an eager, interested, enthusiastic piercing apprentice. Being an apprentice isn't easy and you'll have a LOT to learn. You don't get paid, but once you have completed your apprenticeship you will have a valuable skill, a portfolio, and if you make it that far, I'll probably ask you to work for me, so a built in job. This tattoo shop is close knit like a family, not like a corporation, so naturally we're all really chilled out nice people who get along and don't talk smack.. it's a really great, super fun work environment.. (about as much fun as work can be).

    If you'd like to be considered for the position email me at:
    megronthedestroyer@gmail.com to set up an interview time, I'd like to do some interviews ASAP as I'm going to be extremely busy when we move to our new shop!

    EDIT:
    since I'm an idiot and forgot to post it the first time, the new location is just off O'Connell street in City Centre. We're really excited about our new place! It's very central, easy to get to from all the public transportation, etc.



    Thanks,
    Meg

    what a difference that move will make though, our location now is extremely hard to see where as the new one is nicely places on a corner and not on a street called, and i **** you not "Findlater Place" which is actually just a driveway with the shop and a hotel.

    I know, I've talked to Seb about it :D

    I like the old place, but Seb just seems so happy that he's getting his own room now! Haven't seen the new place yet, when's the move happening?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 794 ✭✭✭hot2def

    parlours. the "studio" lark is some politcal correctness sanitising. parlours. We could ALL use the extra cache...

    Seb invited me to move in, so he isn't too sad. especially because im anally clean and organized. he'll come in one day and i'll be scrubbing the floor with a tooth brush or something. lol.. i'll make it up to him! come say hi when you come by. i'll be.. the only chick that works in the shop.

    easy to spot though. :)

    Funny, I'd refer to a tattoo place as a parlour, but a piercing place as a studio... But I'm a little odd... (Little and odd! :D)
