Victor Tattoo and Body Piercing

Fantastic experience: I was traveling and found Larissa on instagram. She was very responsive and friendly and able to set up appointments for my group and I. Everyone is thrilled with how their tattoos turned out, would definitely recommend Larissa to anyone looking to get a tattoo in Galway!

Fantastic experience: my friends and I are staying in ireland for a couple of weeks and we decided to drop in and get a tattoo. they fit us in and we got Charlie, hes amazing and he did the best work ever. it was me and my friends first tattoo, and it was a very comfortable environment, everyone was so friendly!

Fantastic experience: Paloma pierced my bridge very quickly and with so much care! I walked in and she was incredibly accommodating. Lovely experience, and she is very sweet. Very reasonably priced as well.

Fantastic experience: Very very kind and communicative when discussing the design/timing on the piece!

Fantastic experience: Meine Schwester und ich waren für einen Tagestrip in Galway und hatten die spontane Idee uns ein gemeinsames Andenken piercing stechen zu lassen. Wir haben ein paar piercing Studios abgeklappert doch wurden immer wieder weg geschickt weil wir ziemlich knapp vor den schließungszeiten waren. Doch Fernada hat uns herzlich begrüßt und hat sich für uns die Zeit genommen!! Eigentlich wollte ich nur ein Conch piercing doch Fernandas Kompetenz und Beratung hat mich so überzeugt das ich mein zugewachsenes Bauchnabelpiercing gleich nochmal nachstechen lassen hab. Beim bezahlen wurde ich darauf aufmerksam gemacht das es ein Schülerrabatt gibt was meinen positiven Besuch noch perfekt abgerundet hat! Es gibt rein garnichts negatives auszusetzen. Vielen Dank Fernanda für diese tolle Erfahrung! Wenn ich nochmal in Irland bin würde ich aufjedenfall wieder vorbei kommen!

Fantastic experience: Such a good and welcoming place. I can’t remember the gentleman who did my tattoo, but i believe he was a guest or part time tattoo artist at this location. He was extremely talented and even more converse and friendly he was very helpful on what i should get. I absolutely love my tattoo and I’m so excited to have a permanent souvenir♥️

Fantastic experience: We came to Galway from California for my moms 60th birthday & both got tattoos from Victor. The vibes were fantastic from all the staff and the space is a little sneaky to find so just look for their sign out front. Victor did an outstanding job and they fit us in without appointments which was very cool of them. If we come back to Ireland we will be going back to Victor for more tattoos.

Fantastic experience: Got pierced by two lovely ladies today, made me feel so incredibly comfortable and explained everything clearly. Couldn't recommend enough. Thank you ladies :)

Fantastic experience: Went in for a nostril jewellery change and it was a seamless experience! Very careful and patient piercers, and a nice range of jewellery

Fantastic experience: brought my little sister in to get her ears pierced today and both girls were amazing and so nice and a special thanks to fernanda as she was brilliant and so patient with her as she was nervous highly recommend this parlor and will be traveling back down in the future

Fantastic experience: What a wonderful find! Myself and few friends decided to get some last-minute tattoos while visiting. The shop across the street wasn't taking walk-ins and turned us down. Couldn't be happier that they did! Lala and Paloma(aka Shemona) were amazing! Lala put amazing detail and personality into my "flash" tattoo. Looking at her other work, she's probably the best artist I've had the pleasure of tattooing my skin. And don't even get me started with Paloma. One of thee most pleasant humans I've ever met. Very warm and welcoming. Please, if you're in the area, don't go anywhere else.

Fantastic experience: We stopped in after getting a new tattoo because the original wrap was coming loose, and they were so helpful! They quickly sorted us out with a new wrap and made sure everything was clean and secure. Really friendly and accommodating — we really appreciated the help!

Fantastic experience: Great experience and the staff is super friendly.

Fantastic experience: Quick and painless! I walked in for a tattoo just two hours before going back to Italy, it was the end of my holiday in Galway and Lala has been amazing. Zero pain and a lovely chat while she was working on my wrist. 10/10 raccomended if you want a ever lasting souvenir of your trip to Ireland

Fantastic experience: Came with a problem I faced in another piercing studio - that the team took care of, while the other studio forgot about me. Just wanted to leave a positive review since my experience with piercing was positive in this studio. Communication is very clear and open Fernanda and Paloma very very attentive and patient. Due to unique nature of my piercing I needed a professional that would take care of that and Fernanda take this responsibility and succeeded ✨

Fantastic experience: Got a labret yesterday, done by Fernanda. She was so sweet and actually managed to get me to relax while doing the piercing (which is perfect btw). The place was super clean and everyone available. So recommended!

Fantastic experience: I brought my daughter (9) to get her ears pierced after the first piercings closed up. Fernando was amazing and explained everything as she went through the process. Everything was very clean, very friendly, great selection of jewellery, and my daughter was so happy when she was finished. Very reasonably priced too. Thanks Fernanda!!

Fantastic experience: Decided to get a new will I was in Galway at Victor Tattoo and Body Piercing really friendly staf really clean and tidy shop space highly recommend would give a higher rating but 5 stars i max I can give

Fantastic experience: I got few tattoo from Victor lovely man if you want a tattoo call in

Fantastic experience: 5-Star Review for Victor Tattoo and Body Piercing – Galway’s Best! While visiting Galway, my wife and I wanted to get tattoos before heading home—but with so much sightseeing, we didn’t make it into Victor Tattoo until the day before we left. We walked in just two hours before closing and were greeted with such warmth by the entire staff—it immediately put us at ease. I had a vision for a fairly intricate Celtic Cross, and Victor couldn’t have been more gracious. Despite the tight timing and the complexity of the design, he welcomed the challenge with enthusiasm. I shared a few reference photos, and he created an incredible custom piece that absolutely met my expectations. My wife wanted a clover tattoo, and Lala stepped up big time. Even though she had someone already scheduled, she made it work and got my wife in afterward. My wife was thrilled with her tattoo and couldn’t stop talking about how awesome and kind Lala was throughout the process. We also had our young daughter with us, and every single person in the shop treated her with such kindness—making her feel included and comfortable. That kind of family-friendly, welcoming atmosphere is rare and worth noting. Victor Tattoo isn’t just Galway’s oldest tattoo shop—they’re one of the most professional and caring studios we’ve ever visited. If you’re in Galway and looking for top-notch ink and a great experience, this is the place. Huge thanks to Victor, Lala, and the entire team for making our visit so memorable!

Fantastic experience: We walked in on a whim and they got us in right away…super accommodating! Everyone at the shop was so friendly and made us feel totally comfortable. The artists were professional, easy to talk to, and our tattoos turned out great (thanks Lala!). Couldn’t have asked for a better spontaneous tattoo experience. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!

Fantastic experience: Habe schnell einen Termin bekommen und Lala hat meine Vorstellungen toll und individuell umgesetzt. Das Tattoo ist super geworden und ich bin sehr zufrieden. Dank an Lala. Ich kann Victor‘s Tattoo uneingeschränkt weiter empfehlen.

Fantastic experience: We were in Galway for a short period of time and were able to get walk in appointments at this shop. Everyone was friendly and their place environment was clean. Lala was our Artist and did a great job of communicating with us to make sure she understood what we wanted. Great place!

Fantastic experience: Friendly and professional staff. They also have a great selection of jewellery. Very happy!

Fantastic experience: GO HERE & NOWHERE ELSE! If you’re traveling, visiting, or live here, then Victors is the place to go for a tattoo or piercing. I traveled with a family of 8 and 5 of us got tattoos. Paloma is so kind and accommodating. She was a delight to interact with and we loved it so much we came for more! Get tatted by Lala and Kamilo while you can! I hear some artists travel around and you DONT WANT TO MISS THEM. I will be sad to not be in the country to get more body art soon. Thanks Victor for a great business and wonderful staff! You have great people working there!

Fantastic experience: We got 3 matching tattoos on st Patrick's day with a walk in. The wait time was only about 30 min for all 3 of us and our artist, Lala, did a great job. We really recommend.

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Victor for over 15years. He's an amazing artist but he's also a v v cool human. Paloma, Lala, Fernanda, and Franco are also v v cool people. They are so so professional. Professional and kind. And personal. And straight. No BS. If my kids wanted ink or piercings, VTs is a no brainer in Galway. This is where I'd advise them to go. The work is top quality but that's because the people are top quality. Can't speak highly enough of them

Fantastic experience: Lala was an amazing artist who worked quickly and well with us on 3 different custom tattoos within 24 hours. We walked in one evening and the next afternoon she had the 3 different custom drawings for us. 4 hours later we had 4 tattoos and were very pleased with them!

Fantastic experience: Ear piercing. Quick and professional. Fernanda answered all my questions, and I’m happy with her work!

Fantastic experience: My friend and I walked in spontaneously yesterday to have our conch pierced. Fernanda guided us through the whole process and made us feel very comfortable since we were obviously a little nervous. I highly recommend her and generally the artists we met were very fun and welcoming to walk ins.

Fantastic experience: I recently got my third piercing on my ear, I love it. The woman that pierced me, she was lovely, kind and patient with me. Her name is Fernanda. I’m very indecisive, she gave me time and help too chose which earring I’d like. She explains everything before hand which is also comforting. All the staff are lovely and welcoming, if your looking for a piercing or tattoo give this shop a visit. They also do walk ins for those of you who like too be spontaneous. I highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Quick and painless! Reopened a helix piercing I thought had healed and helped me plan out a stretch for the same one! Also sized my already stretched lobes. Really happy with it!

Fantastic experience: Lala was the BEST!

Fantastic experience: Got many tattoos of victor , best around and will be getting more with him , takes his time and puts a lot of detail into his work

Fantastic experience: Got a tattoo by Lala, I really love it. Great work and super friendly people working there. Would definitely recommend getting a tattoo there. ☺️☺️☺️

Fantastic experience: Honestly one of the best places in Galway for piercings if not the best.

Fantastic experience: Piercer and everyone was so nice will definitely go there again. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: I got three tattoos here from Lala and love them, great experience every time, lovely staff :)

Fantastic experience: Got a simple piece done by Lala a week ago. Very saturated, sharp and symmetrical (which was an important criteria for the piece). The session was quick & not painful. The healing process was quite fast and the tattoo film didn't cause any problems & wasn't too hard to take off. Left me with a very good impression overall, will definitely come here again if I'd want to get something else done.

Fantastic experience: Got my second nose piercing by fernanda yesterday and she was very professional and very friendly. Love my new piercing. Would highly recommend here staff are lovely.

Fantastic experience: I’ve gotten many, many piercings over the years from Fernanda here, but today was my first time coming in for a tattoo. Honestly the staff at Victor’s are some of the kindest, most talented and professional people I’ve had the pleasure of getting work done by. I’m so delighted with my tattoo, it was my first large piece and Lala really went above and beyond with it. The shading is perfect, and her hand is so gentle I almost fell asleep during it! Give these guys a visit if you’re wanting piercings or tattoos done. I can’t recommend highly enough after years of going.

Fantastic experience: Great place for a piercing/tattoo, staff inside there are really nice

Fantastic experience: Great piercing experience here, had some complications a day after with one and they sorted it promptly. Will be back!

Fantastic experience: All the staff were so helpful and friendly and both tattoos turned out just as I wanted them. I didn't have an appointment but the staff were so helpful and drew up the design with me on the spot and I walked out with 2 perfect new tattoos! Highly recommend for anyone who wants some help with their tattoo design & a clean fineline tattoo

Fantastic experience: it was amazing!! my friends and i got appointments super spontaneously and we love our tattoos - highly recommend

Fantastic experience: got one of my first tattoos here and is easily one of my favorites. it was a walk in but they still managed to draw up a full design for me and have me tattooed in the same day. top quality place, lovely people and top quality tattoos

Fantastic experience: Victor's work team is very friendly, Victor is very professional and has a high level of hygiene and knowledge of the subject to fix tattoos. He fixed me tattoo that I had 15 years ago it was horrible, and he fixed and it looked beautiful I recommend Victor 100%

Fantastic experience: Yesterday I had my first tattoo done and I love it! Chino was great. He had patience with me and made sure I was happy with everything before he started. He was really nice and he did a great job. I love my tattoo. It's exactly how I wanted it to be. Thank you

Fantastic experience: Never felt so comfortable asking the silly questions when I had it done I also enjoyed she didn't mind keeping a conversation going while getting my daith done as I was so nervous and needed the distractions made it feel so quick couldn't believe it was done when it was

Fantastic experience: Very satisfied very friendly

Fantastic experience: My friend and I both got small tattoos of our own designs as walk-ins. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Fantastic experience: my friend and i went in to get tattoos together and had an amazing time! the staff was extremely friendly and our tattoos were everything we hoped for!!

Fantastic experience: Was A nice experience with guy, they explained to me everything, was a first tattoo and Lala she is innate artist. Tks Ik you are the best... go ahead ☺️

Negative experience: Really poor service! Was totally unacceptable. Told it will be half hour so went for a walk and came back, then was told it would be a further hour, then the artist started another person so then told it's further 40/50minutes while you wait! Avoid this place it's a serious disappointment.. no problem with a wait time but if told originally it would be 2.5h could have come another time and not wasted my time

Fantastic experience: The place is nice, good service, I had to wait but not that long, because I arrived without an appointment, I left with a beautiful tattoo 100% recommended

Fantastic experience: best piercing and tattoo studio to go in galway! super friendly people and they do amazing tattoos

Fantastic experience: Excellent customer service and amazing body piercer, has done all my piercings !! Will definitely be going back for another piercing ✨

Negative experience: Visited Victor's today as a walk in customer for a tattoo. Was told it would be a 30 minute wait. Returned in 30 minutes expecting to get started soon. Was told it would be a further 40 minutes. I agreed to wait. After waiting the extra time I asked the guy at the desk what's happening? He questioned the artist and I was then told it could be another hour. Ridiculous, terrible customer service and complete waste of my time. Won't be back

Fantastic experience: I walked in on a whim and asked them for a mushroom tattoo. I am forming a Mushroom Club leg where I will have different artists add their work to my leg. Paty did my tattoo today and I must say that I am so happy I walked in here. She did a fantastic job, her line work is impeccable, and the shading is grand. Quick work and great product. Surely will be returning in the future for different works. Love the mew piece guys, thank you so much!

Fantastic experience: Really professional. Paty is an absolutely brilliant tattoo artist

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love the way my first tattoo ever came out!! Paty was an amazing artist and person! Very fair prices and outstanding work done. My brother and father got tattoos here as well and they are just as well done! Highly recommend this lovely place!

Fantastic experience: Really nice experience. Got my first tattoo here. Lala was very helpful and understood what I wanted straight away and was very quick to draw up a sketch which was exactly what I was looking for. Explained the process and was very nice throughout. Very clean and professional studio. Visited multiple studios beforehand in Galway city and none were as good as here. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Very nice staff. We did not have an appointment but they fit us in anyways. Lana was amazing very friendly and listened to us very well. Our tattoos turned out amazing. Overall lovely experience.

Negative experience: Got a double helix done yesterday. I noticed when I came home the angle of the two piercings were not aligned. Went back in to them today and only option was to remove one. Very disappointing experience as I will have to wait another 3 months to get re-pierced which is a major inconvenience. No explanation or apology was offered, they did however mention to come back in 3 months to get re-pierced but I refused as I do not trust the services offered here.

Fantastic experience: Called to check for appointments on the same day, and they were able to fit me in, very informative and felt like I was in good hands

Fantastic experience: I got my smiley done by Fernanda yesterday, I am petrified of needles and she sat with me for about 15 minutes giving me time to prepare. She explained the process to me, did breathing exercises with me, gave me piercing advice and just talked with me about my interests and life. She also reminded me that I didn't have to get it done if I didn't feel ready and said I could back another day. It was very reassuring and sweet and in the end I managed to get it done and she did it well. She gave me her card with her Instagram so I can keep her updated and to ask questions if I had any. She showed me the mouth wash she recommends and all, overall she was very caring and sensitive to my needs. So far the piercing is great too.

Fantastic experience: Fiz minha primeira (segunda, terceira e quarta tbm) tatuagem, linhas finas, faz acabamentos com sobreado tbm. Meu primeiro piercing (segundo e terceiro tbm), mãos firmes, auxiliou bem para cicatrização etc. Vendem produtos de qualidade. Gostei muito. Local muito limpo, organizado. Atendimento muito bom.

Fantastic experience: Got my first ear piercing here and the woman was very kind. Getting my second One there iswell in a few days There very professional and sanitary! 10/10

Fantastic experience: I got my belly button piercing done by Fernanda . She’s so professional and talked me through the whole process. I will definitely be back .

Fantastic experience: Was here for a piercing the last day. Can't recommend the enough. Place was spotless. Equipment was second to none.. And the staff were very friendly and approachable about any questions I had..

Fantastic experience: I've never written a review for a piercer before, but I had to here - I got a double septum piercing with Fernanda (@piercingsbyfer) and it was UNREAL. I've about two decades of experience getting pierced (and repierced) and this was, without a doubt, the most pain and stress-free piercing I've ever gotten. Fer listened to exactly what I was looking for and advised on how everything would sit. Delighted. Highly recommend ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Fantastic experience: The staff are so lovely. I reached out on Facebook to book my appointments and they were very helpful with answering my questions. Eduardo was the artist who tattooed me and he is very talented and a lovely guy. I love my tattoos so much!

Fantastic experience: Good and fast service

Negative experience: Went in to ask for some surgical steel earrings for my helix piercing. Explained that they didn't sell it, offered no help as to what else I could try having sensitive ears. Just didn't want to do business I guess. Maybe I didn't fit the look they have in mind for someone interested in piercings. Very unhelpful and unfriendly

Fantastic experience: Had my first two piercings here today (helix and nose) and I was so happy with not just how they turned out but the whole experience. The staff here are soo lovely and informative. Really put you at ease there and talk you through the whole process from start to finish and aftercare. Thanks again and highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Very good

Fantastic experience: Very clean

Fantastic experience: Got my ear lobes done here and the whole experience was amazing. Tediously clean, gleaming and amazing work by staff. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Spontan ohne Termin ein gutes Tattoo zu nem guten Preis bekommen top Arbeit von Victor.

Fantastic experience: I got my conch pierced today. Very quick and easy. The piercer made me feel very relaxed and at home. I booked the piercing over the phone and even though I was late they still fit me in 40 minutes later! Amazing staff and my piercing is fab. €65 all together with a beautiful piece of jewellery. Can't wait to go back to get more piercings done by them! Thank you so much :)

Fantastic experience: Got my piercing dive recently with suzi. She was very friendly and very professional. Everything was done within covid guidelines and the place was very clean. Would highly recommend suzi. Will be back again to get another piercing. Very happy.

Fantastic experience: I've gotten multiple tattoos here that have each turned out amazing and I constantly get compliments on them. The people who work here are friendly and knowledgeable.

Fantastic experience: Great experience, Edwardo the tattoo artist was excellent, gave me examples of the style and size, an also made sure I had the correct spelling and orientation for the tattoo I wanted. Finished product is way better than I hoped for. Delighted. Price was very reasonable, compared to other quotes and I was practically a walk in customer for the shop.

Negative experience: Got both of the third lobes done, woman dropped my piercing on the floor and slightly questioned if she should get a fresh piercing bar, struggled to do my second ear, both of the piercings had to be taken out after 4 weeks because they wouldn’t heal and were bleeding, I follow after care and have multiple face piercings that I haven’t had issues with :(

Fantastic experience: Great experience in a covid safe place

Fantastic experience: The girl who did my bellybutton was lovely and exalent at her job i didn't even feel it thanks hun i was so nervous xxx thank you Suzi Keogh

Negative experience: Daylight Robbery. The woman piecing was sooo lovely but FAR too over priced. I paid 70 euro for a conch piercing where everywhere else is 30-50. I was too shy to say no as I had booked in. The piercing its self is good but the jewelry is very cheap looking. I made it clear i wanted a hoop/orbital piercing over the phone but when i arrived i was told i couldnt get it because of healing. I wouldn’t have booked otherwise. Ill not be going again purely on price it was ridiculous.

Fantastic experience: Just had my tattoo done today with victor.he had a hard job of covering up another tattoo that was in an awkward position. Wow...is all I can say,hes such a perfectionist, was delighted with the job he did. Was exactly what I wanted and more.. was worth travelling from meath for it. Thank you again for your patience.

Fantastic experience: Really great service with fantastic staff..highly recommend!!!

Negative experience: Avoid!!! Double Booked me and was making out it was my fault!!!

Fantastic experience: I'm very happy with my new tattoo! Thank you very much. I highly recommend Victor Tattoo

Fantastic experience: Fab staff, great service and aftercare!

Fantastic experience: Would highly recommend Victor's for tattoos as he is extremely professional and a very talented artist that produces high quality tattoos

Fantastic experience: I was a walk-in at Victors tattoo and they took me right in, I got a wrist tattoo of a Celtic knot representing the bond between father and daughter with the date 2019, in memory of my dad and my trip to Ireland. The tattooist did an amazing job and very professional. I had no bleeding or scabbing afterwards and it healed beautifully, I absolutely love it!

Fantastic experience: I got a tattoo there today, would highly recommend, clean, friendly and great tattoo, would definitely go there again for another
