EXCELLENT Based on 136 reviews Posted on TTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Oh my gosh where do I even start! I came here after brutal ink absolutely scammed me and dragon Ink went above and beyond and helped me so much. Myah Is absolutely amazing. Her work is immaculate and she’s so kind and so bubbly. I am 100% coming back here again every single time. I cannot recommend this place enough!!!!!!! 💖💖💖Posted on Sanket GurungTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A very wholesome family run tattoo place with exceptional professional service and expert artists. Perfect place to get tattoo especially if its your first time getting inked as their friendly service , calm vibes and conversation makes your nerves relaxed. I had a 3 hour appointment with Myah for a few custom tattoos and she was very friendly, had good conversations and very profesional with the artistry. She explained each step very nicely and was very flexible with my requests of changing fonts and size and locations of the tattoo as I wasnt sure what and where the tats will look good. Every thing went perfect and not to mention my appointment was booked on very short notice(a day prior). I had driven 5 hours from Thames to Taranaki just to get their service and would do it again for next tattoos :D Well done team each one of them is a superstar ^_^ HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.Posted on Aiden WellborneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I had such a great experience getting my tattoo with Myah. As it was my first tattoo, I was a little nervous, but she made me feel completely comfortable from the start. She’s incredibly friendly, professional, and clearly very talented at what she does. I’m so happy with how my tattoo turned out and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for quality work and a welcoming atmospherePosted on Riley DallasTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
