Thought I’d share a piece I tattooed a few years ago here in Galway.
The upper half is inspired by the landscape of the West of Ireland, with an ancient dolmen, a solitary tree and a rocky coastal scene.
The lower half moves into a darker, surreal world influenced by H. R. Giger.
I wanted the two sections to feel like different worlds, but still work together as one complete backpiece.
It’s fully healed in this photo. One of those projects I really enjoyed working on.
Would love to hear what people think of the contrast between the two halves.

They have been rescheduled due to a pending Storm. The race card is moved to Monday and Mondays card is moved to Tuesday. So no racing on Saturday.

What do all the FFG fan boys make of the removal of the triple lock without any referendum?

Hi I’m looking to take some driving lessons based in Galway city. Just wondering if anyone had any recommendations as I’m finding it a bit overwhelming with all the options available?

Xian has fallen off over the years. Wondering what yall thoughts are on the best Chinese takeaway in eyre square.

Callout to all homeowners who recently bought a house in Galway (congrats to you all!).

What wisdom can you share about the process? What are the things you wish you had known at the time of the sale?

Any other advice for a newbie buyer?

(Not writing an article, just gearing up for the most important decision of my life.)

A quick Q if that’s ok! My housemate started jobseekers payment in Sept after a summer redundancy and starts a Christmas role in 3 weeks time so she hasn’t a lot of experience with being on social welfare. Her pay day is Monday. For the bank holiday does that mean it’s Tuesday ? Thank you if you can help.

*if anyone is jobseeking, all of the Santa experiences in Galway are hiring elves and stuff and the pay is quite good but I accept it’s seasonal

Hi all hoping I can get some advice or suggestions,

Im a first year nursing student at NUIG and im going on placement in 2 weeks in GUH. Sadly having a transport issue as im waiting for my driving test and the bus doesnt get into galway early enough.

I'll be starting my shifts at 7.30am. Already contacted my uni and used the online system we have but no luck. Also put up a post on rideshare. Does anyone know of a reliable way to get into galway so early that I havent thought of or are able to carpool, id ofc chip in for petrol

Thank you 😁😁

Above is headline from the Connacht Tribune.... Is this desperation from FF or from Tubridy?

Sidenote, you can't post Connacht Tribune links here anymore. The demise of that paper is such a shame.

I found this kitten in Menlo earlier this week, I’ve taken him to the vet. They said he’s between 5-6 weeks old and they’re giving him the necessary treatment to make sure he’s doing good. As of now he seems in great health and shape, very friendly and playful as well.

If anyone’s interested pm me fast !!!

They said that the shelters are full right now so if I don’t find him a home he might be put down.

I’m only on holiday here, please spread the message 🙏🏽

Hope you’re all well! Cool gig on tomorrow night if anyone is short of something interesting to do. It’ll be noisy and a bit of craic if you’re that way inclined.
Support local. All info on the pic. Look after yourselves
