Since 1997, the AWOL tribe have been providing the good people of Galway with the finest tattoos and piercings. With over 20 years of experience collectively, the local team of artists and creatives work closely with each client to create the ink of their dreams! They have just opened a dedicated ‘piercing only’ studio down the street so they can provide even better service than before. The new studio at 44 Abbeygate Street Upper is now open so pop in for a look and say hi.

AWOL specialise in traditional, neo-traditional and new school styles with plenty of flash but these amazing artists can work with you to create stunning custom tattoos that suit your personality. They also offer body piercing, piercing stretching and re-opening, certified laser tattoo removal, jewellery sales and fittings. They are open seven days a week and offer a 10% student discounts (with a valid student ID) on piercings and tattoos from September to May! Don’t forget, it is strictly over 18s so don’t think of getting a sneaky one before your coming of age. Mammy will definitely find out!
