Excellent tattoo studio, exceptionally clean, world-class artists. Every staff member excels in their field of expertise. This shop looks and feels more like an art gallery than your average tattoo shop, and there are indeed incredible paintings by local artists on display and for sale. Well worth a visit, I will be back time and time again. Read Less

So going to a new person to put something permanent on you can be a bit nerve wracking, but i couldn't have felt more at ease than i did at galway bay tattoo. What an amazingly nice and welcoming group of people! Love when you can walk into a shop and feel at home. I went to Steve and he did an amazing job on my tattoo. I decided on script with very fine lines and i couldn't be happier with how it turned out! And bonus.. they give u lollypop when you're done if you're well behaved haha! seriously though, highly recommend this shop. Glad i took the time to do think while on my trip! Read Less

Translation by my husband, as patient as the staff of Galway Bay Tattoo, which had first to tolerate my linguistic inadequacy! Perfect tattoo executed by Dmitri, very competent, precise and careful to retouch adequately the drawing. I didn't feel any pain, just a tickle which didn't allow me to stand still as required. I'm really grateful... to everyone of them, professional, very kind and first of all very good! Last but not least, the music playlist was excellent. Thank you! See More Read Less

Hey! I arrived in May for a holiday trip to Galway. I always wanted to have a claddaghtattoo. So I thought, "If not in Galway, home of the Claddagh, where else?" I was already convinced of the art works of Stephen, Nancy and Dmitri. I was happy to get an appointment with Stephen. Kiaya was very helpful and friendly; also Dmitri, whom I met there. @stephen: I know, for you it was probably not a big thing, but to me this tattoo means a lot! Thank you so much...I'll be back!� Greetings from germany!� Read Less

I was very nervous getting my first tattoo about a month ago, but Nancy made sure I had a fantastic experience. She was extremely patient with me, and did a fantastic job on designing and tattooing a medium sized tattoo on my left shoulder. Couldn't be happier with the result, exactly what I had pictured in my head. Everything was very clean and I felt extremely comfortable. Can't recommend Nancy/Galway Bay Tattoo enough! Read Less
