They took me and my friend as a walk-in and I got my nips pierced while she got her belly button and septum done. I was excepting it to hurt but it wasn't bad. Maybe a 4/10 I did yell something weird and I can't even remember what it was but once the needles were through all the pain went away, I started laughing uncontrollably and it took awhile for me to even remember they were pierced a couple of times. It still shocks me. And the healing process hasn't been bad at all! I haven't had pain while healing and it only sucks when I hit them on something but the pain is only for a short while. I was pierced by Lauren and Kyle(I think that's their names I can't remember ). They were awesome. I'll show them through my shirt lol.

My friend and I went here for piercings as walk-ins and they were so nice and helpful. They had many starter earring choices/sizes and were thorough in finding the best placements and making sure that they avoided any veins (I know people that have had experiences with other places not checking for veins so this was very reassuring). Even with avoiding veins they gave us multiple options for where we'd want the piercings and took into account the type of earrings we'd want to wear later and how they'd look best when making recommendations for placement. They were quick and thorough in cleaning the piercings too. Lauren was awesome! We'll definitely be going back here to get fitted for hoops (and likely more piercings) in a few months. We drove 30 min away to go here and it was well worth it. Highly recommend!! They pierced my Tragus & Helix (pic attached).

Made an appointment with Jocelyn to get mirror image tattoos with my daughter in honor of my mom, who we lost unexpectedly several months ago. She took the few images we gave her and really exceeded our expectations. We are so happy with our tattoos!! Thank you, Jocelyn!!

I have been contemplating my first tattoo for a whilee. I finally decided to do a set with my hubby. Small Jack and Sally smiley faces. I searched, read reviews and did my homework. Finally I decided on Red Dragon. On a whim one Saturday afternoon I decided that was the day - the day I would get my first tattoo. So I contacted them via messenger in facebook and that was that. They had me and the hubs scheduled for 6:30 that evening with an apprentice named James. We showed up, did our paperwork and talked with James. He was friendly and professional. He made sure we were happy with his drawing and we got down to it. I went first so I didn't lose my nerve. He made it very simple and was done pretty fast seeing as it was a small tattoo. He reset his station and it was hubby's turn. Once done we paid and he went over all the aftercare especially with me since it was my first. We were there around 70-80 minutes. Great first tattoo experience. I'm already planning my next one

So my experience started with Red Dragon started a few weeks ago. My wife and I decided that we wanted to get tattoos. We were looking for places that were clean and had reasonable prices. We ended up finding Red Dragon on Yelp! Turns out the place was right up the street from where we live. When you walk in you are instantly greeted by Ashley, she was very warm and welcoming. My artist was Bishop. I've got several tattoos, most pretty big pieces, but I have to say that what Bishop did with my idea was awesome. I told him I wanted an anime mashup tattoo with some of my favorite anime. I show up today and what he had was PERFECT! We do the piece (he's got a very lite touch! No digging no forcing the ink into my skin) the entire time he was engaging and talking and getting to know me. Time went by pretty fast next thing I know we are done! When we were done he cleaned me up, gave me proper care tips, we even planned some more things to add to my vision! All and all I say 1. Don't be fooled by the outside! 2. This place is awesome and 3. Thank you Bishop!

Friendly staff and people. I wish the prices were lower. I got a cartilage done here. I have no complaints otherwise, but the prices are on the lower end in Cincinnati so I guess it's good. My friends recommended to come here too so they are reputable

For my birthday, my family surprised me and brought me here for some fresh ink. My daughter has had some work done here, so it wasn't just on a whim of which tattoo parlor to take me to. The parlor itself is small. A couple of work areas for the artists to work. As well as rooms off to the side for piercing. The work station that I was in (on two separate visits) was clean and sanitary. The bathroom isn't the cleanest, but whatever. I'm not getting my tattoo done in there, so it didn't bother me. Jocelyn is a very talented artist, who pays a lot of attention to details. And her color work is phenomenal. My piece took two visits and I'm happy with the finished work. One my first visit, I told her what I wanted. She asked questions, showed me some pictures, sketched up a drawing based on what we looked at. The outline took over an hour. The second visit, for color, also took over an hour. My tattoo looks like it's been airbrushed with water colors. My husband liked my finished tattoo and decided to get started on a large piece that will take several visits to complete. I highly recommend coming here and speaking with Jocelyn if you're thinking of getting some work done.

This is what I asked for .....

Don't waste your time going here, I had an appointment with Jocelyn,I asked for a simple tattoo and got complete disappointment. I was told I was going to be taken care of by the owner as he was gonna have his makeup artist remove it and another artist do what I wanted to begin with. The owner doesn't stand by his word . Look below at my pics and you'll see how hideous it is now Absolutely ridiculous

Ask the Community - Red Dragon Tattoo & Piercing

I would like to get my nose pierced and I was wondering how much it cost?

Hello! Nostril piercings are $49 plus tax with standard jewelry. Upgrades cost extra! Please have a valid state ID proving you are at least 18 years old!

How much does it cost to have both nipples pierced?

$50 plus tax!

I would like to get my belly button pierced for my birthday and I was curious as to what the prices are? I've seen comments on how good they are but no one has actually said the price.

I don't remember exactly, probably $40. I suggest calling (and asking for price info) and then setting an appointment.

White Whale, I'm so pleased. You're trendy, you're clean, you employee some amazing artists…read more Hitting the mark on everything that a tattoo shop should be. I've been following Annie Bone on IG for a year now, that woman is an artist. With a background from DAAP and graphic design, she knows her way around most mediums. When her books opened up, I was so excited to try to get on her schedule. When you're considering White Whale, please pay close attention to each artist's "rules" when it comes to proposals. The website has some great advise for this as well. Most of them only open their books every so often and vet each piece before committing. Annie's light hand was much appreciated because I'm a total WUSS when it comes to tattoos. I have several but I really don't enjoy getting them. Annie was so kind, understanding and encouraging the whole time. She held conversation really well and seemed to care about me and my piece! This is the first time I've had a tegederm bandage and I really like it!! It's so much easier that being taped and bandaged up. If you have sensitive skin, be sure to mention this. I bruised up a little bit but Annie quickly corresponded with me and made sure the bruise was a "normal" one and that my tattoo/arm was healthy! Go to White Whale. Get a killer tattoo. No regrets.

White Whale artists book super fast, so we had to book months in advance when Emily's books finally opened. The shop itself is charmingly eccentric, and by far the most welcoming tattoo studio I've ever been to. Everyone there was personable and friendly, and Emily is the BEST. Not only does she create the most gorgeous artwork, but she's just a warm and radiant human. It was a joy to work with her and we were both so thrilled with what she created. If we still lived in Cincinnati, I think we would be frequent visitors. If you're looking to get a tattoo in the area - or if you're from out of town - White Whale is worth a visit!

I got a tattoo done by Kenneth back in November. I put off writing this review for so long because…read morehe was a very nice guy, but I feel the need to warn others about my experience. I was planning on getting a very small four-leaf clover tattoo. Since it would be so small, I decided to just do a walk-in. I showed him a reference photo, which was a dainty, simple line art tattoo, and I'll include a picture of it below. Instead of going off of the reference photo, he proceeded to google four-leaf clover designs and scroll until he found one I agreed to. I am obviously at fault here for not standing my ground, but I found it kind of weird and I felt too uncomfortable to say no. As he was tattooing me, I felt him pressing SUPER hard. My first tattoo was on my chest, yet it was less painful than this one was, because of how hard he was pressing the needle into my skin. I still have some raised lines on my tattoo which I'm worried is permanent scarring. I wanted fairly thin lines (like in the reference photo I showed him) but he gave me pretty thick lines, without asking me or communicating with me about it at all. Almost immediately after I got the tattoo, I noticed the ink was starting to blow out. Again, this was my second tattoo, so I already knew how to care for it properly and I followed the aftercare instructions to a T. The lines on my tattoo have blown out and become even thicker, while some spots are missing a lot of ink. It's overall very splotchy and uneven. i'll attach a photo of it below. Between the lack of communication and the seeming disregard of what I requested, I have been very hurt by this experience. I paid $118 (not including tip), and I honestly feel like I was completely ripped off. I would have been fine with paying that if the tattoo had turned out decent. Now I have to pay even more to find another artist who can try to fix it. I realize I have fault in this too for not sticking up for myself or even just leaving, but I still feel like this experience is worthy of a negative review. I don't know about the other artists working at this Beelistic location, but I would advise not to go to Ken for your tattoos.
