Flaming Dragon Tattoo Co

Okay so I started out by calling the shop to see if I needed an appointment!  You guessed it I am not a tattoo aficionado.  I didn't realize that you just walk in and see if they are available.  I am in my early 50's and decided to get my first tattoo in commemoration to my college roommate who had a 26 month fight with pancreatic cancer.  One of the last things she asked me was to not forget about her and so I thought a little tattoo was the best way to show her I would never forget her.  I went in on Friday afternoon and Sara greeted me.  There were two girls ahead of me that couldn't decide so Sara took care of me right away.  The shop was so clean. Sara spent so much time and care prepping for my tattoo that the prep time exceeded the tattooing time.  My tattoo is very small and is on my ankle.  Sara was very patient and exacting in placing the stencil she drew.  She was so kind and pleasant with me.  To say I felt like a fish out of water is an understatement but, after just a short time with Sara she made me feel like an important customer and that this tattoo was the most important one that she had done.  I told Sara why I was getting the tattoo and I could see in her eyes she shared my emotion thus putting me even more at ease about having her do the work.  When she was done I took one look at the tattoo and was so pleased I started crying.  I looked at Sara and she had tears in her eyes too. I found the Flaming Dragon (Pacific location) on yelp and then also called my eighteen year old daughter to ask her since she has friends with tattoos. I couldn't have been luckier to have stumbled upon the Flaming Dragon and Sara having the time to perform the work.  I don't know why I felt so compelled to have that tattoo done on Friday but, it never would have happened had I not been so lucky in that Sara had had a cancellation that afternoon.  I witnessed everyone in the shop with customers and everyone was kind and professional.  Everyone looked at my little tiny tattoo and made me feel important.  They were all so genuine I felt like I was among friends.  I sent a picture of the tattoo to my girlfriend at 8:30 PM Friday night and found out the angels came to pick her up at 3:15 AM Saturday morning.  It was all fate that I pushed myself to go and that Sara was free to do the work.  I can't thank Sara and the entire staff at the Flaming Dragon enough. No matter if this is your first or you one hundredth tattoo This is the best place to go.  From the heart - Thank you Sara and the staff at the Pacific Avenue Flaming Dragon Tattoo shop

Imagine two little old ladies of 60, although I don't look it or feel it, trotting in to get tattoos.  I know it sounds silly but it's on my bucket list and now I can check it off.  That said, Brad was amazing.  I told him what I wanted, he sketched it, did the tattoo and was funny on top of it all.  Thought it would hurt a lot more than it did so I was pleasantly surprised.  The store was clean and there were many customers, a lot of them repeat which say plenty for the business.   i'd recommend this place to anyone.
