Identity & Authority — The Lens

Inspect the JSON-LD. Is there an Organization or Person schema, and does it carry sameAs links to real external profiles (LinkedIn, socials)? Missing schema or no identity declaration signals an anonymous entity.

Authority is undermined by technical implementation gaps; for example, one artist is identified only as ‘.’ on the Under Earth page. While individual artists like Joel and Gabi are named, they lack Person schema or ‘sameAs’ links to professional portfolios, making their expertise unverifiable outside the site’s own claims. The LocalBusiness schema is basic and does not include properties for founder expertise or specific certifications that would support the ‘Best Shop’ claim.

The site makes bold performance claims including ‘Best in Ireland’ and ‘Best quality in every aspect’ without providing a single case study, healed portfolio gallery, or customer testimonial text beyond the numerical count. The claim of ‘Exclusivity’ is contradicted by the junior status of many staff members, which usually implies a standard or learning-based service level rather than elite exclusivity. There is no evidence of the ’13 Lab Tattoo School’ accreditation or its standing in the industry to support its graduates’ credentials.

Identity & Authority is read from the structured data first: whether the site declares who it is in machine-readable schema, with verifiable identity links. Below is the schema captured per page, then the external proof links that support (or fail to support) that identity.
