i ov thee dragon

I have had over 15 body piercings and Jonathan was without a doubt my favorite piercer yet. Very professional yet very comfortable to work with. I have no plans to go elsewhere in the future.

This is the best place in Racine to get body modifications done. The staff is super friendly, the place is spotlessly clean, and they are all very talented - especially my artist, Adrian. If you go in for a piercing, they'll tell you whether its feasible or not for your particular body. They won't just pierce you and take your money if they know the piercing will not work out. Bring in your own design for a tattoo or have an artist design something for you. Love these guys!

I had been thinking about getting my tongue pierced for about 3 years, but I always chickened out.  I worried about all the things that could possibly go wrong and I talked myself out of it every time.  Recently, I went to i ov thee dragon and found Jonathan between appointments and he let me ask about 15 neurotic, whiny, scaredy-cat questions and not once did he look even the mildest bit annoyed, impatient, or put out by the exercise.  He calmly, competently, thoroughly, and politely addressed each and every one of my concerns, never minimizing the actual risks.  It was so clear he was most interested in educating me and helping me make the best choice, even if that choice was that I not get pierced at all.  His demeanor, the fact that he had obviously done the procedure thousands of times, and his quiet confidence compelled me to trust him.  Prior to the piercing, he made absolutely certain I understood the aftercare instructions and the consequences of not following them appropriately.  He recommended aftercare products that were conveniently available at his shop, as well as others that could be purchased elsewhere.  I got my tongue pierced and was absolutely amazed that the procedure went down exactly as he had described it, step-by-step, no surprises.  It was quick, almost completely painless, and I was stunned by how simple he made such a complex and potentially dangerous piercing appear.  It's only been a week since my piercing and my healing is going exactly as he predicted, down to the physical descriptions he gave me of the swelling, potential on and off bleeding, and the slight release of a white substance that is not pus and may look alarming, but is quite normal and natural.  I intend to follow his directions for the duration of the healing period, including to expect the process to take anywhere from 3-6 weeks.  I expect to enjoy this piercing for years to come and highly recommend a piercing by Johnathan.
