For those who may not know, Golden Aura is the sister shop to Neon Dragon Piercing. I'm really…read moreexcited for this location in Marion. The vibe is more upscale and very peaceful. While Golden is not yet APP certified as a shop, you can still expect a high quality experience as they rotate their staff from the mothership (lol). Everyone I've worked with is knowledgable, friendly, and incredibly passionate about body modification. I've been pierced in a lot of different environments, but the Golden Aura/Neon Dragon team is my favorite.

Considering that this was my first tattoo, I'm sticking with a four. Of course, I'm already…read moreplanning my second, so I'll have a better idea then. Now I realize that a lot of people come in with a very specific design or idea. I didn't. I knew what I wanted written and I knew where I wanted it placed. But I'm not a creative person, so that's where I'm looking for the artist to help guide me with my decision. Initially I felt that the guy working with me (not Lefty) expected me to know what I wanted for every detail. I did my best to explain and I still felt like he was viewing me as "woman least likely to have a tattoo". I'm glad to say that we reached an accord and he did a really nice job. As I mentioned, new to the tattooing thing and so I was very curious. He did a nice job of explaining what the process was and I think I was a good customer. I didn't cry, whine, flinch or bitch. Plus I tipped! So, until the next one. I'm a fan!

Didn't realize there was another employee up in front of the store who was suppose to be supervising store. Finally I saw her & asked her if she could check me out? She snapped back that I should have come and to get her! I said it's her job to be watching the register, not mine to be searching for sales clerks. I didn't even know she was up front. She started ringing me up & realized I didn't have correct items for bogo. No one had told me had they all have to have Claire logo, which I told her. Doesn't say this on for bogo on signage either.
