Fantastic staff! Sarah was a gem - very personable and did got me through my first cartilage piercing with ease. Larcon, with his calm approach and sense of humor, got me through my first tattoo like a breeze. I was very impressed by the care and advice given by the whole team. I couldn't help but overhear their professional way of chatting with other customers. I won't hesitate to come back here and will definitely refer friends! Read Less

I was only in Galway for a few days and wanted to book a walk-in tattoo, the staff was so great about getting me in, and Lorkin was so professional during the tattoo. He made sure it was exactly where I wanted it and took his time. I really enjoyed the experience and highly recommend the shop, and Lorkin if you’re looking to get a tattoo. Read Less

Very experienced piercers and tattoo artists, only needle piercings and the piercers always make you feel 100% comfortable before, during and after your appointment. Fantastic soft skills and aftercare. Tattoo artists are highly respected among the local clientele and are well respected by many around the world who come to see them along with other artists annually at the Galway Tattoo Show Read Less

I visited Awol tattoo and piercing recently for the first time. I had decided to finally get a piercing after much thought and backtracking. Sarah who is one of the main body piercing professionals working here catered for my request. Sarah even skipped her lunch break so I wouldn't have to call at a later time. Throughout the entire process she was an absolute professional. She was so informative, friendly and thorough in every aspect of her job. Anyone considering a piercing should call to Sarah in Awol as she actually makes it a pleasant experience. Read Less

Got my septum pierced by the lovely Sarah yesterday, she couldn't have been nicer. I've had many piercings in the past but never got this standard or care and attention to detail. Awesome ship, hands down would recommend! Thanks a million guys � Read Less

Myself and my friend got our helix and surface pierced today, not at all people who write reviews but felt the need to share, as well as being happy out with both we had serious craic with Sarah, the reason for this review. Couldn't recommend a more professional and sounder woman � Read Less

I got my tattoo today done by Jack and I could not be happier. He made the experience really great and constantly asking how I was doing cause he knows it's not the best experience to get a tattoo. He made everything perfect and beyond my expectations. I would definitely recommend this place and I see why others would too. Thank you guys so so much and my tattoo will always be a symbol of your hospitable service! Read Less

Got all my piercings done here after a bad experience somewhere else, couldn't recommend them enough! All the staff are so friendly and helpful and most important super hygienic in their work! On a side note I was suffering from migraines and cluster headaches the last few years, got my daith done a few weeks ago here now, having tried everything to cure it before this but nothing ever worked! I was even sceptical about the daith working but I haven't got a migraine since its been done and it's now a month later! So happy thanks again folks � Read Less

Well when i had a look on the books (full of weird vegetables tattoo) i was certain to get something very nice I came one day with à Friend ( during our holidays in Ireland ) asking for a memory of our Time there. We wanted the same thing à trescale in the neck . The Idea seemed not so exciting for the artist but that s the job also to make people satisfied !! So hé made it . Scratched it and ink sank .( A Blind person could recognize the model)...For a decorated artist i m really disapointed :( Hope you are able to ink more than smiling carrots without judging people s wishes Read Less

Girls at the front desk were the worst I've ever had to deal with in any situation. The rudest people I've ever met in my life, I felt like I shouldn't have been in there at all and they we're so rude to our kids. We didn't see the sign at the door to be fair but they handled it so bad. They acted like spoiled teenagers and we're thick with us the whole time we were there when we were there to spend money. Never ever again will I set foot in that place and I'll be spreading the word about you guys. I should have known from other stories I've heard. Bad people ruined what's supposed to be a good experience. Sort it out. Read Less

I've now gotten 5 seperate tattoos at 5 different tattoo parlors, and this was BY FAR the best experience I've had. Aside from the overall friendly environment and general cleanliness of the shop itself, my artist was phenomenal. Tadgh was so awesome to work with, very talented and just made the whole process super laid back and enjoyable. He not only drew up a new tattoo for me, pretty much on the spot, but also touched up a couple of my other ones that had faded and needed some work. I am beyond happy with how everything turned out, and couldn't recommend this place more! (especially if you go see Tadgh) Read Less
