I've been a regular here ever since I found it in 2001, just after it opened and I've been…read morerecommending it to family and friends for years. The Barber's Room is small but spacious, with only 4 stations, and it's not unusual to find 3 or 4 people ahead of you in the queue when it's busy. I don't want to even imagine how crowded it can get on a Saturday. As a result, I usually drop in first thing on a weekday morning to try and beat the crowds. The owner Keith is a bit of a perfectionist, and will often spend a full hour cutting my hair and tweaking it until it is just right. And anytime Keith cuts my hair, it always is just perfect at the end. As more staff appeared over the years, they've taken a page out of Keith's book and will often spend a good hour obsessing over your haircut. Each member of staff is chatty and always interesting to natter away with, so the time tends to fly without you even noticing. The decor is quite trendy, with a leather couch and a vintage arcade machine now serving as a coffee table. There are painted prints on the walls including one of Glamour Bowie in the 70s and assorted music and gig details about. The music is always impeccable and when the radio station proves disappointing, Keith will often put on something from his CD collection to correct the atmosphere. At €17 - €20 for a dry cut, it's perhaps a tad pricier than a traditional barbers, especially those near Trinity College, which are trying to appeal to the budget conscious students. But I've never been disappointed with the service, the haircuts, or the chats, so I keep on going back again and again.

From the moment I walked in, the staff were incredibly welcoming and made me feel comfortable right away. This was my second tattoo (but my first time here), and Roy was great throughout the entire process. He made sure I was fully comfortable and really took the time to ensure the design was exactly what I wanted. I never felt rushed (he even took the time to answer all of my questions in full detail) and it was clear he genuinely cared about making sure I loved the final result. The tattoo was also very reasonably priced, which made the experience even better. If I'm ever back in the area and looking to get another tattoo, I'll definitely be coming back! Highly recommend!

I am in Ireland on holiday and decided it was time to get some tattoo work done that I had been…read moreplanning for awhile. I wasn't sure where to go, and after yelping had found a place about a mile away, so we finished our Guinness and headed out. Immediately upon leaving Doyle's we saw the next store front was for tattoos. Being the lazy human being I am, we have it a shot. Boy am I glad I did. Without an appointment, and about an hour before close, Lee was happy to take on my simple design. He looked at a blurry iPhone photo I showed him and truly created a piece of art. My 3 other tattoos were all done back in the states but I found my experience here to be the most pleasant so far. For an hour of work, and a medium sized design, I was only out €80. Definitely a great deal in my opinion. Facility was clean, artists were friendly and professional. Absolutely a five star place. Lee can be found at leebrown28@gmail.com for inquiries or on Instagram at lee_brown_ - if Lee is busy, another artist, Kit, has his own artistic hand to offer. We chatted Kit up the whole time and they really were quite the dynamic duo. If you need ink while in Dublin, bring your business here. You won't regret it. Thanks so much for the wonderful work, Live Fast!

From the moment I step foot in this shop I knew that was the place to get my tattoo. It's small and…read morequaint but nonetheless clean and organized. All the artists were super receptive and kind, and really attentive. Most places try to push you into one or another style, but in this place they listened to me and were very worried if I was gonna get exactly what I was asking for. Lee is the artist who did an incredible art for me. He put my ideas together himself, in an even better way that I had pictured. He is also the one who chose the colors, so there you have it, a talented artist with brilliant ideas. I am really happy, cause I have a gorgeous tattoo and a new place to get tattooed in town.

If you're a tattoo person, getting work done by Enya (@enyaaliceink) while in Dublin should be a…read morehigh priority on your to-do list. Note that Enya doesn't take walk-ins, so scheduling an appointment in advance is a must. Enya is: Patient - Despite having this appointment on the books for months, I still didn't know what I wanted or where I wanted it, even by the time I walked in the door. Enya was so kind & accommodating. We tried different stencils in different placements & carefully narrowed down the design together. Kind - I was immediately put at ease in the shop. Enya, Francesca, (the artist with the station adjacent to Enya's) & all of the other folks in the studio were so welcoming & friendly. Funny - I was hooting & hollering quite a bit during the tattoo process. The time flew by. I felt like I made a few friends. Talented - It came as no surprise to me that Enya is a graduate of one of the top art schools in the country. She has an incredible imagination & wittingly executes her ideas on paper & on skin. I'm honored to have her artwork on my body forever. Gentle - No pain! Sphynx Tattoo & Piercing has recently moved to a convenient location right on Usher's Quay. I highly recommend visiting! PS - Don't pull on the door handle like a f***ing animal, like I did.

We of course went the most touristy, cliche route with our tattoos, so we weren't worried about finding a walk in spot, but these guys blew us out of the water. We were helped immediately and even though they were busy, they had us done within a couple hours. Dmitry did my tattoo and he is so talented. I just got a shamrock so nothing crazy over here, but his detail was incredible. My fiancé got a tattoo done by Izabela and she was SO sweet and professional - she took the time to carefully explain everything, the care, etc. We had another friend who also got a tattoo with her, her first tattoo ever, and I don't think she could have gotten a better artist to make her feel comfortable. The shop is so clean and inviting. There's a reason they're highly rated. Great spot for tattoos, great artists. Absolutely no complaints, highly recommend.
