He also was very open to any changes and tweaks that I wanted incorporated. The session took about 6.5 hours and John made sure we took a decent amount of breaks. He was very meticulous and overall, I was extremely satisfied with the completed art piece. The tattoo shop was also very clean and everyone was professional and very friendly. 10/10 and I will definitely be going back for more work!

Today was one of those aimless adventure days where we didn't really know what was on the agenda…read more It started off with running to the gas station to get firewood and then we headed to Downtown Hopkins to get ice cream at Cold Stone. On the way we passed by Dragonland Tattoo and decided to walk in and see what it's like. As soon as we walked in you could tell it was a reputable shop. The wall was covered in Best Of and NTA awards. I've been wanting to get a star tattoo for a few years now and was surprised to find that they could get me in pretty much right away, so I figured what the heck let's do it! I got a quarter size outline of a star on my right wrist and it took all of 30 minutes from when we walked in just to check it out to walking out with my tat exactly how I had imagined :) My niece's boyfriend got a rose tattoo on his forearm and was able to get in right after me. Our artist Dustin was awesome and eased my tattoo anxiety, making my experience go much more smoothly than my overthinking brain expected. I would encourage an appointment and consultation for most tattoos as we got small, simple ones that didn't really require one. I will definitely be back if I work up the courage to start the sleeve tattoo I've been thinking about getting. I would highly recommend Dragonland Tattoo, 5 stars from us!!!

And for some reason, on my birthday, I decide randomly that I want to get a tattoo... well, the other day was that day. I called Sea Wolf curious if they had availability, and they said yet, come on in! So I did. I was so fortunate because James was available and right off of the bat his energy was everything and just added to the beauty of the day! He was kind, caring, outgoing, conversational.. we had deep convos, light convos.. it was just awesome. He helped me pick out my tattoo and he did a great job. We talked through the entire thing, I felt no pain and I am so so thrilled with the work. The energy and vibe in this shop is awesome. I will definitely be coming here for all of my other tattoos and seeing James. Price made sense for what it was and I couldn't be happier!

I never got a call back.That was the sealed deal as far as the rating I give today I am disappointment, but nevertheless, I was able to go to a different tattoo place and I was able to get a outstanding Tattoo for even a better price and a far friendlier atmosphere.so it worked out in the end but for the score that I'm giving is for this place specifically I am disappointed with this experience.

I did lots of research before choosing a place and an artist because I wanted a portrait and…read moresomeone that seemed great with that. I chose David Dettloff - he owns the place, is a true artist, and has a wait list to match it. He also chooses the projects he will work on, so after emailing back and forth we found out we both have a love for Nina Simone which was the portrait I wanted. Not only is he worth the wait (he did most of the portrait freehand and it's gorgeous) he has now wrecked me in that no one else may tattoo me in the future except him. I'd post a picture of it, but you can find a link to his work on his FB fan page https://www.facebook.com/david.dettloff

I would go to MDV over and over again! I would recommend her to anyone! She's so talented! I don't know why people would ever think she would gas light, manipulate her clients!

Those who feel that she isn't professional enough or felt manipulated needs to be educated on how to listen better.

I recently got a hand tattoo here by Mai Dao Vang a week after it healed the hand tattoo faded so…read moreincredibly badly it was barely noticeable. My peers couldn't tell if it was old henna or an old doodle I did myself with pen and tried to wash off. It was so incredibly embarrassing. I went in full trust to a LICENSED tattoo artist that trains others to become licensed artists yet I was did so dirty. She shouldn't be teaching others how to tattoo when she can't even do it properly herself and even just give good customer service. She did not care about me as her client what so ever. I hate looking at my hand being so badly marked up and the fact I have to walk around in public with people agreeing my artist did an awful job. When I got it touched up about 3ish weeks later my tattoo artist looked at my hand and said "oh my god it looks so beautiful! It retained so well! This is normal but the lines are beautiful" I'm not sure if she was complimenting my skin or the tattoo that was barely there. The touch up made the tattoo look way better from the start it was so pretty until it faded so badly AGAIN. I was charged almost a whole month's worth of rent and had tipped SO incredibly well that even the artist had said I tipped too well and asked if I wanted to come back and getting money back, to give a smaller tip. Seeing what the art turned out to be and fading so badly so quickly, I agree I should have tipped less. I never once got an apology and the artist refused to give me any sort of a refund. This has been THE WORST tattoo experience I have ever gone through. I have fine line tattoos and not ONCE did they fade this quickly and this badly or needed any touch ups. I have friends that have incredible beautiful fine line tattoos on their hands and fingers and feet and not once have yet needed to get a touch up. A tattoo shouldn't need to be touched up a WEEK after you got it done and the touch up shouldn't need a touch up! That's what the touch up is for. The fact that she tried to gaslight me saying it's normal for the healing process, needing multiple touch ups, which it's not normal at all. I was gaslight and made to feel like I was the problem. My needs were not satisfied and my artist was inconsiderate towards my feelings, again never apologized for anything. She never took any accountability and showed no remorse for my unsatisfied needs with her awful work. And when she was pretty much blaming me when I contacted the artist about this she didn't even spell my name correctly! So rude! She truly just didn't care at all. She made no effort at all to try and help me out. The artist did a VERY bad job with wrapping the tattoo and it had came off like the next day, pretty much blamed me for the healing process. "For all I know after care could've also not been followed". I have multiple tattoos and take care of them VERY well. For the touch up the artist said "I'm going to use a different wrap and see if that helps it stay better" what would help is to tattoo to an appropriate depth in the skin. Adding a second skin on top isn't the factor of "the ink will stay if it's on. if it comes off the tattoo will disappear" that makes no sense what so ever. And to top it all off my ID was never looked at and I was never told or offered to sign any consent forms what so ever which is so sketchy and also just so unprofessional. The pictures I'm attaching are going to show the progress of the tattoo. When it first got done, a week healed, right before it got touched up, post touch up, and week healed after the touch up. I do not recommend getting any service done here especially done by Mai Dao Vang
