The Iron Dragon Tattoo Collective

My wife and I went to Shelby for tattoos yesterday, and she did an AMAZING JOB! I have to follow up for the coloring, then ill update with a photo, but I have already told all my friends and family they should come here. Everyone was friendly, the artwork on the walls are amazing, and some super talented people work here.

Amazing artist and great atmosphere. Ready to go back for my next tattoo

Hands down the cleanest most talented shop in this area!! The amount of talent in this shop is unreal! Jay Jackson has done a ton of my work from a full sleeve, full chest, legs ect. lf you are wanting a tattoo to be proud of he is your man!! From skulls to floral. Biomechanics to portraits he has you covered...

Got my first tattoo today and Neil Sims did an amazing job!! Am super pleased with it !

I would absolutely recommend the Iron Dragon as the shop was clean and the team helpful. Tattoo artist Neil Sims was amazing, patient and did a wonderful piece for me, and I'm already excited to plan a second piece for him to do.

I have been using Stephen as my artist for the last year and the experience is always top tier. He excels in being collaborative and helping me see the final picture of my new piece. The entire shop is full of talented artists. Mitch, Neil, Nando, Shelby, Jaycie, will do what is in their wheelhouse to make sure you get the optimal experience. They will not do something they aren’t comfortable with. Which to me is an awesome thing. I can’t say enough about this shop. Come see for yourself!

Took my lady friend there before Christmas for her present. She had been wanting a lady bug on foot. They did excellent job of designing her lady bug, going over medical history, and Jayce is very skilled at making lady bug a work of art.

I’m from out of town visiting family and was recommended to go see Mitch for a tattoo....this was my first professional tattoo and the whole experience was amazing from start to finish. Mitch did everything possible to get me tatted before I left and still did it in such detail. Everyone in that shop are great and nice people that give the shop a great and relaxing atmosphere at all times.. I was in the chair for 9 hours but from bumping music all day to chattin with the artist, the day went by fast. Would definitely recommend for anyone getting tattooed for the fist time or for anyone looking for a new place...

Great experience very friendly check em out you won't be disappointed called at 2pm for a 5 hour walk in tattoo they didn't know if they could get to it but worked me in

The artist I currently see, Mitch Howie, goes above and beyond in his efforts to make you comfortable, happy, and works so quickly it's mind blowing. His hand is light and the ink sticks regardless. I would highly recommend this shop to anyone and everyone. Truly love this shop and the people in it. The artist's have such a good energy and bring a beautiful vibe about the place. They are all special in separate areas, yet appear to learn from each other every chance they can. I personally don't see myself going anywhere but here for anymore work. Truly amazed at this shop and the individuals involved in it and I cannot wait to see how far it grows. 5 stars isn't enough to properly rate it, but it'll do haha.

Come in as a walk-in for a very large piece for a cover up. With my time being limited they went out of there way to accommodate me and would have went the distance if I could have taken it all in one sitting. Steven took pride in his work and when the pain got to much he dropped to a smaller needle even though it would take him longer. I will be finishing it when I come back into town. I would highly recommend this place.

Great service, artist worked diligently to create a great representation of Annabelle our chihuahua, a very meaningful memorial tattoo.

Friendly customer service, quick & fast. & Affordable.Very extra friendly, makes you feel welcomed. Definitely will be back

Amazing group of artist! Had a great Experience here with Neil! The vibe of the whole shop was chill and my tattoo came out amazing. 10/10 would recommend!

Love love love this place! I had wanted an evolution of Gengar (pokemon) tattoo, and found out Steven B is known for doing videogame and anime style tattoos. Upon meeting him, we sat down discussed the idea and he went to work on it. When I came in to see what he had designed I was absolutely floored! The style is perfect, the design is amazing, the colors are wonderful! It's a half sleeve, so it is going to take a few trips to get it completed but I am ecstatic about getting this piece finished.

I would absolutely recommend this shop to the fullest. For my very first tattoo, I gave Shelby very minimal design concepts and she went above and beyond for my tattoo. Shelby has been my artist for both my tattoos and I wouldn’t trust anyone else. Their shop is so clean and put together which is so nice to see for a newly opened shop. The atmosphere is also wonderful, and very inviting especially for someone like me that does have anxiety. If I could give higher I would!

Had a really great time at Iron Dragon while I was there! I love going to Shelby, she does an immaculate job every single time plus she’s always a joy to speak to ❤️ It’s very clean and the artists and staff are so kind and welcoming!

Shelby Nowlin has been my go-to artist since for the last year. Her work is always incredible! She’s worked with me ahead of time to make sure the tattoos are exactly how I want them, and she’s always polite while she works. She’s made multiple changes for me moments before starting the actual tattoo, and she’s done a lot of beautiful fine line work for me. Her art is beautiful and her talent for her craft is obvious!

I had an appointment today with Shelby but poor girl was feeling sick. I've been going to her for a year now and I'm always blown away with her cute artstyle. She's so sweet. There was a small mix-up with the scheduling which was quickly fixed with no fuss. Luckily, one of the store owners were able to draw up another tattoo for me that I've been wanting. Now I didn't get no basic snake tattoo. I got a cute badass snake tattoo. Mitch was very considerate with matching the style of the snake with the other tattoos I have on my arm. All of the artists there are super friendly and passionate about their careers and the art they decide to tattoo. I am extremely happy with my decision to get this tattoo at the Iron Dragon today. This is my new go-to for custom tattoos in Longview, and it should be yours too.

I’ve used Shelby for going on two years now, two tattoos down with a third in a week on my leg. I have given her full artistic control every time knowing it’s going to turn out great, Eventually I’ll have my whole leg done with her work. I am familiar with all of the other artists here and you can’t go wrong with any of them. I would highly recommend this shop.
