I have over 16 tattoos some small in random places and a sleeve with many colors as well as a full-back body tattoo... Out of my 16 tattoos only four of them were done at places other than Jade Dragon and they were the four easiest tattoos to do, and let me tell you, they came out looking like some of the worst I have ever seen, now I don't want to name names because I don't want to put a company on blast but I can tell you they are tattoo shops near the North or Northwest side... So I had heard about Jade Dragon through multiple ads, friends and reviews and decided to give it a try, and it was the best decision ever because they went above and beyond when it came to fixing the 4 awful tats the other place completely screwed up and their price to do it was extremely extremely reasonable... The other 12 I had done after we're also all done at Jade Dragon and I could not ask 4 better ink and art work done on my body especially with what those tattoos meant and symbolize, they really hit it on the head with what I was going for and they did that with every other Tat they did for me... Now I'm not going to lie they are a little bit pricey but if you want to be cheap go to a place like I went to for my first 4 tattoos and those are the results you'll get and it will end up costing you more money just to get them fixed, but when it's all said and done the money you spend is definitely worth it because there is no other tattoo shop that can do that type of tattoo work for such a reasonable price while having the most clean facility as well as great hygiene and tools and I still haven't even got to the thousands and thousands of choices and choices... Not to mention how you can draw your own and they will do it for you or how you can take part of one of their tattoos and combine it with another one of their tattoos to make one really badass tattoo... Please people listen to me if you're going to go out and get a Tat, u you go get it at a place that you know you can trust when it comes to cleanliness and hygiene, when it comes to brilliant artist and brilliant colors along with some pretty nice eye candy while doing your tattoos, their artist are absolutely the best in the business and you get what you pay for if you want the best and you want that guarantee that your Tat you is going to be absolutely amazing for the rest of your life then you got to be willing to Fork up a few more bucks then these other hole in the wall cheap tattoo parlors...AND GET YOUR ASS TO JADE DRAGON TATTOO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? AND IF U WANT TO TAKE IT SLOW THEN GO IN FOR ONE OF THEIR MANY UNIQUE AND TRADITIONAL...
Read moreI went to get my tattoo done about a year ago and to this day I'm still regretting that I went to Jade. Part because the way my service was rushed here. The tattoo guy doing what HE wanted and since it was my first tattoo I was very naive. Here's my story: I went to Jade and told them what I wanted. A tatted quote with leaves tattooed around it right between my shoulder and my neck. However, I specifically told the guy right off the bat that I did not want it on my neck at all. I can't remember the guy's name but he had curly hair and was somewhat tanned from what I remember. Major attitude problem. He said the design he could come up with was very similar to one he did a week before instead of making it personable to me. I should have ran out at this point and I blame myself. Anyways then they asked me for a $50 deposit which I paid and told me tomorrow I'd pay the balance of $350. When I came in the next day they bumped it up to $400 and I ended up paying a total of $450 for my tattoo! I figured I would get what I pay for especially since I wanted the tattoo in such a visible spot. Turns out he drew the design a little too big and when I previewed it on my neck he said "Well we could just cut some leaves off".. Obviously I didn't pay $450 to just "cut some leaves off" so he ended up tattooing some of the design on my neck.. the whole time he was talking about this family dinner he had to go to and basically was rushing to get the tattoo done. He also kept pushing me to get the design how he wanted instead of just doing his damn job. Not to mention he missed a spot. Very unprofessional and it was my first tattoo and it sucks this was the experience I had....
Read moreI have been here once or twice for piercings and those times it was great, but yesterday Friday 13th was very unorganized. They had books of tattoo options that people had to take turns with and people look through the books for a long time to pick something out, also each of these books had different designs (I know this because I was lucky enough to look at 2 books and they were not even the same). So instead of posting designs online or hanging it on the wall, the books pushed them back on time. They also did not offer color, which most places do but I think since it was packed and the artists were rushing thats why. The designs were okay, some were sloppy but the worst part was the size differences were huge. I got a tiny goldfish tattoo for $50, while other tattoos were 4x the size and the same price. this is not a friday 13th special I could have walked in any day and gotten that tattoo for the same price. The designs on the walls you can pick from are also from the 1970's (some are labeled at the bottom of the page with the year) so come in with your own idea unless you want a style from 50 years ago. I also heard the owner complaining to a tattoo artist who already let her know he cannot stay past 10pm, so when the time came she was clearly upset with him and even tried telling him to have his girlfriend do whatever needs to be done at home so he can stay. you should respect your employee's schedules especially if they let you know something ahead of time and not be visibly upset in front of customer, this was not the artists fault at all and I do not want him to get in trouble for...
