The Enchanted Dragon

You know what they say, "Cheap tattoos are not good, and good tattoos are not cheap!"

That having been said, I wouldn't say Enchanted Dragon is over priced, but I could be slightly out of the loop.  I know an artist that works there, and would have gone anywhere Josh was working.  

Regarding price, the shop minimum appears to be $60 as of right now.  I think that's pretty standard.  Typical of most shops, the artists receive 50% commission and the tips.  My friend got a small piece and it was the shop minimum.  She had to go get cash has they have a minimum for a credit/debit purchase.  Make sure you ask before you sit down.  Luckily, since I knew the artist, it wasn't a problem for her to run out and get cash while he was drawing up my piece.  

Atmosphere wise...they have a couple pool tables and a dart board.  I'm guessing this is in part for the artists during down time or for the clientele waiting.  There is a couch and chair, lots of books full of designs organized by subject matter.  The walls are covered in flash work designs.  If you are looking for something ready made I'm sure you can find it there.

The work space I was in while getting tattooed wasn't private, or really private.  Although I'm guess if you are getting a piercing or tattoo in a more private area of the body they probably have another place to do it.  It was a chair and the artists work space partitioned by a wall with a window cut out.  Anyone could look in while I was in the chair.  My friend with me while I was being tattooed and vice verse.  The other artist that was there that night was across the way from where I was.  There was a TV mounted on the wall for everyone's entertainment.  I saw a chair and desk in another location surrounded by half walls in the "lobby" area.  I'm not sure if this was for show or another artists workspace.  

Overall it's a good experience, but most of that is about the artist versus the location.  It is clean and laid back so I would go again, assuming Josh is still there.

Went in to get my first tattoo and was terrified. But Connie was great. I had seen her work on the friend that took me, so I felt good about it. She talked to me and dispelled all the weird and incorrect information people had given me about tattoos. She helped me determine the best location. She was upfront about what would look good and what wouldn't as far as size and color. She listened to everything I was looking for, then took my collection of printed out words and images and made something awesome. I have gotten so many compliments and it's still in the gross and healing stage. She was also very patient even when I got wimpy and asked her to stop for a second (twice). In the end I got a great tattoo and had a very positive experience.
