The experience of getting a tattoo here was extremely disappointing, and an attempt to correct an unfinished tattoo left me furious. Seeing positive reviews, I chose this shop because it looked clean and comfortable. I called to make an appointment in advance, and upon arriving the man behind the desk had no idea what I was talking about, though I had talked to him on the phone and he told me to ask for him by name. My friend and I were told that we could be "fit in if the artists had time," while we watched a few of the artists sitting around, clearly not working on any tattoos or even drawing up designs for other clients. The process of getting tattooed was slow and awkward, as the artist hardly talked to my friend and I, and seemed bored. At one point, the artist took a twenty minute break to eat McDonalds while we waited, having spent several hours in the shop already and at this point we just wanted to get it over with. Finally, after the tattoo was completely healed, I realized that the "i" in one of the words was not dotted. When I went back to have it corrected, the artist was no longer working at the shop. Initially the owner was very rude and sarcastic, and he said that I could either contact the artist (who I had no intention of ever speaking to again, after a very bad first experience) or pay a minimum of 40 dollars to have a different artist make a dot one millimeter wide. The most upsetting thing was when the owner informed me that the artist who had done my tattoo was an apprentice. My friend and I were never informed that the artist was an apprentice, which would have caused us to look for a different artist, since we would not have been comfortable trusting someone who was not very experienced to perform our very /permanent/ tattoos. Overall, this experience was highly unprofessional, and I would urge anyone looking to get a tattoo done to go elsewhere.

I have looked around for quite awhile questing for that piece of art that Im going to be comfortable wearing for the rest of my life and found Rachael @ I Ov Thee Dragon. She was able to take my concept and turn it into a full-blown piece of "Art". So you should know that this is my first tattoo and I have been in the Military for over 20 years so have see the good, the bad, and the ugly and have seen more than a few shops and Artists. All that being said Im quite impressed that from a couple of photos she was able to come up with a complete design that just sets that tone I have been looking for. While its still early in the process I cant wait to have it finished and I will include a photo for you to judge. Rest assured that this "Artist" just gets it!

Of all the many, many shops located in Racine, this by far is one of my favorite. It reminds me of being in a small gallery in New York or Chicago....quality art adorns the walls, rather than typical tattoo flash - though it is available. You really get the feeling that you are going to be able to indulge yourself in body art in a custom fashion. In the studio, (tattoo area) the setup is near traditional and somewhat communal, but each booth does not lose its sense of privacy. It was modern and clean, bar none. The artists that work there are friendly, polite, and skilled...what more could you ask for? Adrian Fernandez was my tattoo artist, and did a phenomenal custom piece for me. I plan to be back at i ov thee dragon very soon!

Grady Nerad is, in my opinion, the best tattoo artist in the area hands down. Great dude, great work, clean, and has no problem chatting it up while he works on your tattoo. Also, very fair prices. I walked in with a friend of mine and just gave Grady a broad idea of what I was looking for, came back in a couple days and he had a rough sketch that looked exactly what I was picturing. Told me $250, and I paid $250 on the day, no bull****ting around! Definitely deserved the nice tip I gave him and would recommend him to anyone.

Thank you Jen! You did a great job on my brothers and my matching tattoo with such short notice. I Ov Thee Dragon studio is very clean and professional, would highly recommend to others. My wife and I will be back to work with Jen. My brother from Colorado is planning to visit Jen for new additions to his ink each time he comes out to visit. Thanks again.

Jonathan was very informative, understanding and professional. I have had bad experiences with piercing in the past and he made me feel at ease and comfortable. I am so happy with my new piercing and they have gained a new loyal client!!
