whats the big deal i was just saying i got work done off rachel and her work is good whats wrong with that

Absolutely nothing! What Damo was saying is every now and then people log on and "Big Up" a particular studio. A lot of the time these people turn out to be employees/relatives of the studio. The result of this is that when a genuine person comes on and compliments a studio or an artist, especially one that is not considered by the masses to be "must visit", then stupidly, their post get branded as suspect.
I completely argree with your opinion of "Nine Lives" work, top class and under-rated.

Just as a general note - as has been said there's been issues in the past where people from studios have come on and bigged themselves up, there's also been times where people came on from rival studios and posted up terrible pics not done by the artist named to try and tarnish the reputation of the studio. So yeah we are very suspect of posts like these unfortunately as we've been burned in the past by it.

auntyweeze

i went with poison ink in the end, there is also a studio directly beside it (next door) which was empty the whole time we were there.

Howdy folks sorry to re open an old thread. Is the general view that poison ink is not recommended? I'm looking to get my first tattoo and was planning on poison ink so just seeing what the story is. Also that earlier on was not rob (the guy in poison ink) since rob is polish and also does not work in logistics.

Thanks

Rules state you can only tell stories like that if they are about something that you've personally experienced.

Oops bumping an old thread but thought it was semi-important. Apparently the Polish guy in Poison Ink did some tattoos that got infected and some people got hepatitis B and he was deported or something but either way he is back in Bray now and is tattooing young lads , 16 year olds for €10. My friend has gone down and tried to get her septum pierced 4 times now. The first two times he was too busy , another time he didn't have the right sized clamp and he told her to come back the next day and she texted him asking could she get it done and he said he was "taking the day off".He also didn't have any lip bars and other essentials. He sounds pretty dodgy and unprofessional to me. Sorry for the wall of text btw.

Firstly if there was ever a confirmed case of Hep B from tattooing it would be all over the media.I cant find any evidence that this ^^^ ever took place.

but either way he is back in Bray now and is tattooing young lads , 16 year olds for €10.

Absolutely no crime in tattooing 16 year olds for €10.00
There is no regulation in Irish law with regards to tattooing.
The industry is self regulated to a degree but if this lad tattoos for 10 euros then he obviously desperate for business.

He sounds pretty dodgy and unprofessional to me.

Unless youve first hand experience then you cant judge anyone.And thats one of the rules of the forum aswell.

This is quite an unconvincing argument in my opinion. As already stated by a mod, you seem to have many unconfirmed facts.

As stated, if there was a confirmed case of Hep B it would be broadcasted all over the place. The tattoo industry is just as competitive as any other, you can rest assured that if someone cocked up and spread some Hep B everyone would know about it and Rob would be gone.

If he was deported, he would not be allowed back into the country. If he then got in illegally, i highly doubt he would re-open his well known tattoo studio.

Also im fairly sure there is no standard rate of €10. If i walked in looking to get a sleeve done, its unlikely i could get him to work for 8 hours or more for a tenner.

Also your quote of "a day of" makes it sound like its a bad thing. Clearly the man should be open for business 24 hours a day 7 days a week (that sentence was well marinated in sarcasm).


All the best
