St Augustine St · Galway City · Est. 2020
Custom photorealism, bold colour, free-hand & tribal tattoo art — designed one-on-one, tattooed by hand, made to last a lifetime.
The Artist
Originally from Brazil, Junior brought his craft to Galway city in December 2020, setting up shop on St Augustine Street. Since then he's built a loyal following for his meticulous attention to detail — from hyper-realistic portraits to bold, saturated colour pieces, loose free-hand artwork and traditional tribal designs.
Every tattoo starts the same way: a proper conversation. Junior works one-on-one with every client to design a piece that's actually theirs — not something pulled off a wall of flash. The result is work that's personal, precise, and built to age well.
What We Do
Every style, one standard: precise line work, honest advice, and a design that's built around you.
Lifelike portraits and hyper-detailed realism, shaded to bring a photo to life on skin.
Rich, vivid colour work with smooth blending and saturation that stands the test of time.
Original artwork drawn directly onto the skin for a piece that fits your body perfectly.
Bold, traditional tribal patterns with strong, confident linework.
Sit down with Junior to talk placement, size and style before any needle touches skin.
Refresh old ink or transform an existing tattoo into something you're proud to show off.
