  Just went in here for a piercing. Wanted a Teagus piercing for my birthday. When I walked in was greeted by two guys. I don't know his name but the guy who did my piercing was very nice and funny, was very welcomed and comfy. The piercing hurt but the guys were helpfull in tips and I enjoyed talking to them. Will be back! Planning on a new tattoo. Good job guys can't wait to go back!

  I am so glad I chose this place after reading a ton of reviews and making a dozen phone calls.
  
  So I got some piercings done - single forward helix (left ear only) and *NSFW* my nipples.  Since I knew in advance I wanted these done I did a LOT of research to make sure I found the best place for what I wanted.  I'm kind of anal like that.
  
  Initially, I wanted a triple forward helix.  When I called to ask if they even do this (you'd be surprised), the gentleman on the phone said, "We CAN but do NOT recommend it because it will not set right and can look crooked."  Wow.  I called a ton of places before and they just quoted me a price or didn't even know what it was.
  
  Honesty like that goes a long, long way with me.  I called back, asked if I needed an appointment, then drove on over.
  
  It was a little tricky to navigate in the parking lot, but if you see the Baskin Robbins you're pretty much there.  It is next to the Auto Zone.
  
  The inside is actually really cool!  They've got a pool table, digital darts, couches, Ms. Pac Man, and a soda machine.  One ENTIRE long wall is dedicated to tattoo designs, and they even have a little table halfway in that has pictures of real artwork.  By far, this was one of the nicest set up tattoo & piercing places I'd been to.  (For a point of reference, before last night I have 8 tattoos and 10 piercings.)
  
  Jeremy is the main tattoo & body piercing artist, and is a rad dude.  He's great at what he does and marked everything before even clamping.  He is very honest and very real, and told me that the triple forward helix picture everyone sees is actually a girl who glued on jewelry to her ear, which is why it looks so perfect.  Everyone's ears are shaped differently, so if you get a triple helix it can actually point in different directions or not set right simply because of the ear's natural design.
  
  I had my fiance and two friends there and they asked if they could hang out and watch and Jeremy was totally chill about it.  They all had conversations about piercing and whatnot while I clenched my fists and thought about puppies.  Haha.  We DID chat about the negative review listed about the laws - which was actually another reason I chose this place - and I felt the same exact way Jeremy did.  He owns a business, he has children, and he wants to uphold the law.  Last time I checked that seems legit.
  
  3 piercings in one night is totally insane but I did it.  And they have a kickass special of get 3 pay for 2!  Helix was $45 with jewelry and nipple was $35 with jewelry - other one PLUS jewelry was free.
  
  IF YOU WANT A BODY PIERCING, GO HERE.  It's a little off the beaten path but it's worth it.  All 3 people that went with me said they'd come back to this shop before anywhere else.  I don't think I'm getting any more piercings anytime soon, but they also have a Yelp check-in for tattoos.  =)!

  While feedback is always welcome I do not like being told its the law on something and then I do my research and find out otherwise. While a business has the right to refuse service to anyone, I also have the right to vote with my feet and my wallet. We will find another shop. And the original review will stand as is but I dropped a star. Thank you for reading what I post, I take these things seriously and try to call it as I see or experience it.
  
  Edit: While the owner clarified his position on 11/16/12, my original comments stand just as strong today as they did the day I posted them. My feet and my wallet went elsewhere, another shop was found and the results left her pleased and that's what counts. I will wish Golden Dragon good luck in the future though...but the 1 Star review will not be changed.

  The studio was clean, and the artists are very talented.  I will say the chair I was in was very uncomfortable, but the conversation and banter between the working artists was humorous and took my mind off of it.  
  
  I felt the price was very good for the size and detail of my piece.  I will definately return.  If you go in, ask for Patrick.

  I am thinking that when you get a divorce.. you should celebrate!
  
  My EX husband used to tell me that if I ever got a tattoo.... he would leave me.. WELL .. he left and I didn't want him back so I made my way down to Golden Dragon ( my friends referred me)
  
  I knew in my mind what I was looking for ... a dragonfly to symbolize my new life... full of light and freedom.
  
  I walked in and was greeted by Jeremy who helped me figure out what kind of dragonfly would fit my ankle .
  
  He drew it up and an artist by the name of Matt did the ink.
  
  A little pricey from what I am seeing other peoples art work and how much they paid.
  
  However - the conversation, and service was really good. They gave me good information on tattoo aftercare .
  
  So overall a great experience.
  
  I would go back ;)

  Believe me, I've seen my share of tattoo and piercing studios and I definitely do not recommend this one.  I was going there to re-pierce my earlobes with the surgical grade stainless steel hoops I was already wearing.  First of all, this place was very hot, temperature wise.  The reason doctor's offices are always cold is because germs breed more easily in the heat.  Second, the place was far from clean.  Third, the apprentice who pierced my ears didn't mark the holes before shoving the needle through, so consequently, the earrings are not even in both of my lobes.  Fourthly, you have to buy their jewelry.  And lastly, the aftercare instructions are wrong and misspelled.  They tell you to use Bacitracin in the piercing twice a day for two weeks, then once a day for a week and then once a week for a month...or something close to that and using any ointment at all for any length of time is not recommended.  My suggestion is to find someplace else.
