Worst tattoo I have gotten. I assumed because of the price he was charging me that he was a really good artist. As you can see in the photo the line work is terrible and there are spots without ink. Not my first tattoo so I know how to preform after care. Do not go here!!!

Not only is Edong one of the best tattoo artists in the world, he is truly one of the nicest and most professional people I have ever met. His work speaks for itself.. I knew I had found greatness when I met with him in his studio in Saipan to discuss half sleeve cover ups. He was up front with price and approximate time it would take to complete both arms..He was very detailed on how the new tattoos would cover up the old onesβ¦ I completely trusted him.. Edong and his family treated my daughter and I so good and made us feel very comfortable and at ease. He even gave me some watercolor paintings he had done that hang proudly in my houseβ¦ He is just a good person with an unbelievable talent as an artist. I consider him a friend and canβt wait to get down to Florida for more work..donβt trust anybody but Edong with your bodyβ¦

Edong is an amazing artist, and person with a fascinating and rich history or traditional and modern tattoo methods and style. When I discovered his art and portfolio I knew I wanted a piece from him. When I read some of his history, studying under masters of their craft, traveling the world learning more about tatu and tattooing then the average artist will forget, I was excited to meet him. When I knew I was going to have an opportunity to be put on his books, I jumped at it and brought friends from the tattoo industry with me to also meet him and plan to be tattooed. Honestly, I would have paid for his time, with or without a tattoo, his experience is worth it, he could teach seminars and his life dedication to the art is worth the cost. We all chose different forms of traditional methods mixed with modern, but allowed master Edong to choose our designs, and we were so glad we did. I personally have an entire sleeve designed around a piece he placed, due to his limited time and high demand, we couldnβt fill my arm in one session and he was leaving for another commitment. Listening to his stories, watching him work, and being around him is a great experience. As a tattoo shop owner, but not a tattoo artist myself (that is my husband and daughters role), there are very few people I will ever give free range to design and work on my skin. Master Edong has that freedom. Cannot recommend enough worth every penny and then some.

Just wanted everyone to know that Eduardo Maximo Elenzano is an amazing I repeat amazing artist. He took his time with me, my tattoo is a reminder to never slip into darkness again.My artist took my dark emotional concept and made it come to life he's worth any drive and every penny I spent. He took several days to sketch out my tattoo cause he knew how much it meant to me. I will always be his canvas as long as he will have me. His artistry is only surpassed by his kindness and passion for art itself. I don't even write reviews I hate them but when you get something amazing the public should know. So if you want a tattoo look for Dragon Edong Tatu they meet and exceed your expectations.

You want the most upmost professionalism and best art you can find, Ed is the man. I couldn't be any happier with my full sleeve, the family that comes with meeting an artist like him. He has set the bar so damn high you won't want to get ink anywhere else. A tru master and legend in the craft and art, if you have the opportunity, you better take it!

Love his work, I have two pieces from him. Both have been designed by him and can't wait to get my third in October. Awesome artist.

Eddie (Edong) truly lives up to the to title of Tattoo Grand Master. I have 9 tattoos. 4 were done by Eddie. 3 original works and one freehand cover up. I wish ALL 9 were done by this true artist. I am glad he is stateside now so I can continue getting work from him. His prices are amazing, especially when considering his level of skill having studied under one of the greats in Japan. The art itself is beyond compare (and I spent 26 years immersed in a profession where every coworker I had had tattoos). He has a unique ability to interview the client and see exactly what he/she wants, and each piece is unique. Iβve seen this detail to a near photograph quality, 3D, and his shading is incredible. It is worth a trip to his shop (which is cleaner than a Doctorsβ Offices) just to look through his albums. I had Eddie do a shoulder piece for my daughter on her 18th birthday, and he did my wifeβs back piece. I will absolutely be getting more work from him in the near future!

This shop is just what Crestview needed! A family ran shop with experienced and detail oriented artist. My husband and I normally go to Fort Walton Beach for all our tattoos, but feel like the shop we used to go to has started becoming more about money and less about quality and customer service. After reading the reviews and viewing portfolios, we decided to try this place for our matching tattoos. Anne did an awesome job and really took her time! The whole family is very friendly and you can tell they care about their customers. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking to get some ink done.

Thanks to Ed, Anne, and mom for making our mother/daughter tattoo experience great. The artwork was out of this world, and we felt so comfortable and welcome. We got tattoos on my birthday, which is becoming a March 2nd tradition. See you next year, and thanks for helping me celebrate!!!!!

Dragon Edong is a Professional Tattoo Artist who has worked on my full body tattoo for the past 15 years. He is a true Tattoo Master. The sleeve work he did for me 15 years ago still looks fantastic. His shop is clean and his service outstanding. His freehand work is outstanding and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a high quality Tattoo.
