Pierce of Ink Carlow: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I’ve had both my nose and tragus pierced here by Kaja, and each experience has been swift, professional, and hygienic. She always takes the time to explain the aftercare thoroughly, which I really appreciated. On one occasion, I only had five minutes to spare before another important appointment, and she was incredibly accommodating and made the whole process quick and stress-free. Overall, the atmosphere is both welcoming and professional. Based on my experiences, I would highly recommend this place for piercings!
Fantastic experience: Natalia was awesome today. I got my first tattoo in Ireland and my wife got her very first tattoo today.Her work is very good and I'd recommend her to anyone looking to get some Ink done. Hopefully we will be back for some more soon!

Fantastic experience: Kaja has done all of my piercings for me and has never failed to make me feel comfortable and welcome. Her set up is extremely clean and professional, couldn't recommend more. Will be returning for more in the future :)
Fantastic experience: All the people there are very warm and welcoming. You can tell they really care about their clients. I got my piercing done with Kaja and she was so patient, really talked me through it and the whole process. It really eased my nerves and made me comfortable. I would definitely go back.
Fantastic experience: Kaja is amazing. Got my nose pierced and just can’t figure out how to change hoops etc and she literally has the patience of a saint. So kind, so friendly and really good piercer no issues. Even when I went travelling and lost the piercing after getting it done, she sorted me out.
Fantastic experience: Lovely experience from start to finish. Clean, friendly, and professional. Great service , highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Got my tattoos done two weeks ago by Natalia! It was an amazing experience. She talked me through placements and what would flow well with my body and made sure I was happy with the placements. She checked in on me and told me I could take breaks throughout the session. I adored her work and am very grateful she could do this for me. The photos attached are my tattoos after I removed the second skin on day 4.
Fantastic experience: I recently got a tattoo done by Natalia, and she was amazing. Before starting, she went through all the designs she had drawn up for me and made sure everything was exactly how I wanted it. During the tattoo process, she regularly checked in to make sure I wasn’t feeling lightheaded and reminded me that I could take a break or get some water at any time. Overall, it was an amazing experience, I was so happy with the way my tattoo turned out and I’ll definitely be returning!

Fantastic experience: Pierce of ink Carlow is very good and staff are very friendly and helpful
Negative experience: Got a tattoo recently from Ragnar, turned out very nice happy with the result, but overall 2 stars, wanted to return for an extended piece sent multiple messages to get my ideas on paper and start the rest of my tattoo but found he was to busy to reply most of the time, when replied was very short and brief if not just replied by sending an emoji face? and told to remind him next week! But on social media they advertise walk ins available most of the week tagging Ragnar, The price is affordable but definitely better prices to be found in town, quickly came to realise that because the studio is not own by the tattoo artists he was reluctant to put the work in and maybe it only suits to have 1 to 2 hour appointments at a time, the girls in the shop were all very polite and the shop is clean.
Fantastic experience: Great job! My 1st tattoo and I am really satisfied. A nice time spent with relaxed atmosphere. I will definitely come back for another tattoo. Thanks !
Fantastic experience: Great piercing&tattoo spot
Fantastic experience: Great tattoo shop and artists u can trust. Level.of details and precision absolutely outstanding. Highly recommended
Fantastic experience: I get all my tattoos here, amazing work and perfectly design my ideas. Love the art they produce.
Fantastic experience: this place is simply the best!! the employees are so kind and funny while still communicating well. the piercer kaja, is very friendly and funny while still being professional, she listened to exactly what i wanted and communicated well. she gave great advice on how to heal it and was very gentle but fast with the process!! the tattoo artists dawid and natalia, are amazing their work is breathtaking and they give you exactly what you ask for!! i couldn’t think of a better nicer environment, i will never go to another studio in my life
Positive experience: Got my left nostril done there 2 years ago, great piercer super friendly. went to go get my right nostril done and got denied while WITH my parents by the new piercer, joke ♀️♀️ When I got my nostril done 2 years ago it was done perfectly, didn't get any infections or anything
Fantastic experience: I recently attended pierce of ink for the first time for a Tragus piercing. I was very nervous but Kaya was confident & reassuring & I was sure I was in good hands. I felt that the service was highly professional & the standard of hygiene appeared to be excellent also. Kaya explained the necessary aftercare very thoroughly. I am thrilled with my piercing & I am already considering my next one! I would highly recommend pierce of ink Carlow & I look forward to my return visit!!
Fantastic experience: Got a double piercing today done by Kaja and it couldn’t have went any better. Extremely reassuring, informative and friendly and made me feel at ease! I would definitely recommend Kaja to anyone looking for a piercing. Thank you sooo much
Fantastic experience: Really cool studio, very clean and crisp. Staff are very welcoming I went in to get a scaffold piercing looked at that I had done in a different studio . My ear was swelled and I wanted to get a longer bar for the piercing , the girl I was chatting with asked if I wanted it changed aswel. She was very professional and informative and answered all of my questions. I will be back to get pierced .
Fantastic experience: I got a tattoo and a piercing done here, the atmosphere was great. I love my tattoo and the piercing, the staff is very friendy and made me had the best experience ever. Would really recommend the studio! 10/10
Fantastic experience: Staff were welcoming very friendly environment, artists really professional and talented will definitely be returning
Fantastic experience: I went here to get my ear lobes pierced for the first time around 5 months ago and I was pleasantly surprised by the consistency and friendliness of the tatted young man that pierced my ears, it's very out of the ordinary for me to feel welcomed and safe especially by someone I don't know personally, as someone who experiences extensive social anxiety. Impressive customer service! Also, for anyone else wanting a lobe piercing, make sure to first inform the piercer about whether you'll prefer to wear dangly earrings, my piercing placement was corrected when I said I'll like to wear dangly ones. I'm writing this months after because the treatment was unforgettable!
Fantastic experience: I got an eyebrow piercing done by Kaja. All the staff were extremely friendly, the atmosphere is lovely, Kaja is very professional, all my questions about the piercing were answered and it was done really quick! I really recommend the studio I’ll definitely be back!
Fantastic experience: Great service and great atmosphere. The people are great and really professional
Fantastic experience: I got 5 tattoos done yesterday by @Ragnarink and it was amazing! I love the staff, we had great chats and lots of giggles. I felt so relaxed and comfortable. The setting is clearly well sanitised and kept very clean and the art work is amazing! Cannot recommend them enough. Absolutely delighted with my new artwork. Thank you so much David, Kaya and Natalia. I also had my septum piercing done here. And the same thing. I felt welcomed and relaxed.
Fantastic experience: First time coming into Pierce of ink, great atmosphere. Kaja was really nice and knowledgeable, would highly recommend this place A++.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Pierce of Ink if you're looking to get a tattoo. Prices are great, artist input into the design was very helpful and really made deciding on the finished piece easy. I'll definitely be going back for more. Perfect place for your first tattoo or for someone looking to add to their collection of work.
Positive experience: Customer service is poor. Went in one day a few months ago now (didn’t know I could leave a review). Lost my nose stud so went in to get a new one. Piercer wasn’t in so the receptionist tried to help me. I don’t know the sizes so I said sure give me a ring. Group of people walked in after me. At this stage the lady was trying to rush me when I was trying to decide what size would be best to purchase. She was fairly rude and snotty with me. Have been contemplating going back since!
Fantastic experience: Went for a piercing today and Kaya was very professional and attentive. Her technique is top noch. Really good quality and good price. Very happy with the result. Keep it up
Fantastic experience: I have gotten the majority of my 20+ tattoos here and it is still my go-to place. Comes out perfect every single time. Best place in Carlow for tattoos.
Fantastic experience: Got a tattoo today at Pierce of Ink Carlow by Ragnar i love it ,he did an amazing job I highly recommend Ragnar and Pierce of Ink . Can’t wait for the next one .
Fantastic experience: first tattoo,best experience ever,would be back for sure.David was amazing as a person and even better as an artist, would recommend to everyone ;)
Negative experience: I went there to get my piercing changed and it fell out after 3 weeks, went back to put another one in and it didn't last 2 weeks. Got charged both times. Had the original in for 6 months with no issues. I've given up on it now as I can't afford to pay for a replacement every couple of weeks. Sorry guys it can happen once I get it, but twice? ♀️
Fantastic experience: Kaja was amazing, very professional and provided a great service would highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Got a piercing off of Kaja the other day. Healing perfectly as recommended and was a pleasure to get one off. Will definitely be back!

Fantastic experience: “I had the pleasure of being pierced by Kaja who is an extremely friendly person. I loved everything about my experience in the shop. Everything was clean, quick and professional and informative when telling me about cleaning of my piercing and without a doubt I will be returning to get pierced again in the future.I wouldn't recommend anyone else for piercings!
Fantastic experience: Kaja was excellent and very professional with my piercing. She was confident and in control. She knows exactly what she's doing and is very informative. The place has a great atmosphere and is very clean and decorated very well. Would definitely recommend this place and Kaja especially. Will definitely be back here.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Pierce of Ink. The artist Ragnar is amazing and puts so much work into every piece... I've gotten 2 tattoos here already and will definitely be back for more!
Fantastic experience: Ragnar is a fantastic artist, his precision and attention to detail is top notch. I felt immediately comfortable with him and looking at his art work on the walls I knew he was the one for me. I did research beforehand so knew going in what I was getting but when I sat in the chair and watched him work I knew I made the right choice. I’ll be back for more in the future.
Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Pierce of Ink. I've had two tattoos done in the last 2 years, one on each forearm, and could not fault the attention to detail and effort that went into making sure they were done right. I haven't had any piercings but all of the staff are very friendly and a wealth of information on both piercings and tattoos. Some might find it to be a little more pricey than other places but you pay for quality. Check the place out! Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Amazing service, very skilled tattoo artist and piercers. Got a tattoo and 2 piercings here all healed perfectly and look great. Extremely professional and friendly staff, they explain the process and the aftercare of both proceduress very well. The shop is kept very clean and sanitary.

Absolutely nothing to complain about here, perfect experience, definitely recommend to anyone and very excited to go back myself.

Fantastic experience: Long story short - highest level service. I had my tatoo done with Dawid (Ragnar) short while ago, and I am absolutely delighted with the result. He's got high attention to detail, so all looks great, healed well, and no probs at all with it. So I was back today to get some piercing done for my daughter. This time we were served by Sinead. It took her literally a split second to put the Tragua in place. My first thought abouth the place itself was - it's super clean! ...and very pleasant inside. However, what actually made me come back was profesionalism combined with very nice, relaxing atmosphere. Both procedures - before, and aftercare - explained in every detail. Without a doubt those guys are specialists, also very enthusiastic, and easy going people, just exactly a kind of professional you would expect in that kind of service.
