I stilllll love Tony
by PzRain at Citysearch
I have had three tats done by Tony. My 1st three in fact. He did a GREAT job, even if I did have to wait.He cut me a deal with all three tats, and spent hours working with me (and Mary, his gf, too) on getting my designs exactly right. He hand drew (free hand) one tattoo, and did part of the third freehand as well. His color work and shade work are amazing, as is his detail. My tats alllll healed fine, with no issues! I haven't seen him in a few years, so I dunno what's going on now. I will say that Curtis who works there is a loser, who trades piercings for stupid stuff, and will screw up your ears....Just sayin'...
- Pros: Patient, did good custom work!
- Cons: Waiting sucks
AMAZING

Artistic Drag'n is absolutely amazing. I've gotten two tattoos done there that turned out exactly how i wanted them. I've also gotten my nose pierced, my lip pierced and my belly button pierced there. Everyone is extremely friendly and the service is quick. Come on guys give tony a break!! Do you expect him to tattoo everyone in less than a half hour? patience is a virtue, sit through it and the results are amazing. Everything is clean, they open everything right before your eyes and sterilize it all. I definitely wont go anywhere else.
- Pros: Way friendly, results are awesome.
- Cons: Sometimes it takes awhile to wait for a tattoo, but patience is a virtue!
DISGUSTING A$$ SHOP.

Waiting to get a tattoo and the dog took a dump right in the center of the lobby... Wow, how clean and sterile yeah fricken' right... I cant believe some one dosn't shut this dump down. I bet they wont be around much longer once the board of health is done with them.
- Pros: they are another place for idiots to throw money away.
- Cons: they just flat out arent worth the trip.

Artistic Drag'n is amazing. I went there to get my monroe & belly button peirced. The first time was for my monroe, the owner talks up a storm but I dont mind it because hes extremely friendly and halarious. Most likely if you go there he will tell you about the time he was accused of murder. Haha. &they have a huge dog. :p But the service was amazing, they did everything right. When I got my belly button peirced, the owner recognized us & gave us a discount on the healing ointment. They are def where I'm gonna get everything else done. Apparently get your tattoos done @ MAGNUM, not here because tony isnt good& they rip you off. But for peircings its a 100% yes!!!
- Pros: Friendly staff
- Cons: Kinda dirty
Good Work

From a previous review I looked at I agree that this place is an artistic rip off! He does have lots of photos and other samples for you to look at from his previous works. They all look really good and some have amazing detail. However, I was there getting my tattoo forever!!! First they make you pay for the entire tattoo that you want (before he even draws it up for you!!!) After you give them the money (which again is a rip off) Tony starts drawing for you. It took him 8 attempts to draw up my tattoo. each attempt took like 20-30 min. So I was there forever! The tattoo took less than 20 min. So I have a 2.5X1.5 inch tattoo that costed me $100 bucks. A friggin C-note for an entire day in a dirty tattoo parlor which possesses a "expert" receptionist who seems to always be on her menstural cycle. Hey! I had to talk to someone while I waited for a WRONG drawing of a tattoo 7 times in a row.
