Neon Dragon Tattoo & Body Piercing

I haven't gotten pierced at Neon Dragon (yet!), but I have purchased body jewelry here. Excellent and beautiful selection at good prices. Jay R is extremely nice and easy to talk to. The shop itself is clean, beautiful and always full of music.
I would definitely recommend anybody wanting a piercing and gorgeous, high quality jewelry to come here.

I got 3 piercings here while visiting Iowa. I was hoping for a fourth, and they explained why an industrial piercing wouldn't be a good idea using photographs of other ears with that piercing vs the shape of my ear, the visual aids really helping me to understand that the look I want wouldn't be possible without damaging my ear.

They refuse to do anything harmful, and if a piercing has risks associated with it they will explain them in detail to you beforehand. It was explained to me they sterilize the needles for piercing as well as the jewelry using the same machine as dentists offices, then they double check that it's sterile. I was very informed during every step of the process, and after piercing they gave me aftercare instructions, and recommended I follow up with another APP piercing shop one month after getting these piercings as followup.

I have had several piercings done at Neon Dragon over the years and they are by far the best. Helpful, friendly, polite and informational. They make you feel like family.

Awesome experience! Staff was incredibly friendly, environment was clean and welcoming and Zach Shields gave me the best tattoo I have. I am definitely going back here to have him do my next one!!

Just got my first tattoo from their apprentice, Kari. She did an amazing job. Everyone was friendly and professional. I had a great time. I'll definitely be going back for more.

Piercing Review:
I got five piercings in one sitting by JR. I'd never been to Neon Dragon before but I'd always driven by it, and not gonna lie, for some reason I was a little sketched out by going to a place next to Subway in a strip mall, but just goes to show you can never judge a tattoo shop by it's location. I got my nose double pierced, my helix pierced (upper ear), and both of my upper lobes pierced. I got a really good vibe from the place and called to make an appointment before going, but the girl on the phone said I could just walk right on in. As soon as I walked in I was immediately asked if I needed any help and I said I was there to get some piercings. I only had to wait about five minutes before JR was able to help me, and as soon as I told him what I wanted to do he was completely on board and enthusiastic! He was incredibly knowledgable about all the jewelry and the sizing, and explained everything in detail about how the process would go. He only charged me for three piercings instead of five since I was getting them all done at once. I was also really impressed by the cleanliness of the shop, and everyone was dressed really nicely (I think they do a dress-up Friday instead of casual Friday), and I thought that was really funny and different.

The actual process -
Every needle they use there is passed through a pass/fail indicator to make sure it's sterile, and he explained this process and showed me the needle after it had passed. We first started with my nose, and he made two marks with a marker to show me where they'd be and asked me to check if I was okay with the location. He then explained that he would ask me to take a deep breath and exhale as the needle was passed through. The process was really quick and pretty painless (I have a high pain tolerance so this might be different for everyone), and with each piercing it was the same maker - deep breath in and out process. Afterwards he threw in a saline cleaning solution for free and explained how often to clean them and to come back or call if I had any questions / problems.

Overall, I highly recommend Neon Dragon (at least for piercing). Great atmosphere, clean shop, great people, and moderate / normal pricing!

I cannot express how amazing Neon dragon is. I was late to my appointment and they were totally cool about it! Then Jason did my tattoo. It’s a very large tattoo and also a cover up. I cannot wait to see the finished product. These guys kept me laughing the whole time. Cannot wait to go back!

Went to get an industrial piercing done, and while waiting, there was an irate customer getting upset with the staff about her past jewelry purchase. JayR was calmly talking with the irate lady and explaining things while letting her know in a calm, yet firm, tone that she was not allowed to mistreat or disrespect him or the staff, no matter the situation. Myself and other patrons chatted about how professionally he handled the situation and how calm he stayed despite the situation and level that the irate lady went to (fairly rude yelling and demands).
My spouse and I have been here a few times before and expected nothing less, as they have always been friendly, courteous, and informative for each and every visit.
Very glad we chose Neon Dragon for their professionalism and knowledge. Apparently some people do not realize what goes into getting APP certified and choose not to listen to their instruction.
Highly recommend!
Thanks guys!

Stopped in to ask if walk ins were done. Told "We don't do 'old school' walk ins, you can sign the sheet but we have 3 pages so we probably won't get back to you soon"

Not told how to make an appointment or offered any other assistance.

I have not been pierced or tattooed at Neon Dragon, but it has always been a pleasant experience everytime I have set foot in the shop. It's a very friendly and inviting atmosphere with plenty of artists overflowing with product knowledge. Jay R has helped me locate and acquire some of the nicest jewelry I've owned. They deserve no less than a 5-star rating in my personal opinion.
