"I recently got my first tattoo at Dragons Lair and start to finish everything was great!! I walked in and was greeted right away even though everyone was hard at work. Rachel did my tattoo and designed exactly what I was looking for! I would highly recommend!! Their reputation preceded them for sure!!"
