Editorial Review for Jade Dragon Tattoo & Body Piercing – by Forestter Cobalt
In Short
Jade Dragon is one of the largest tattoo shops in Chicago, and it's also one of the oldest. Fat Joe and Coco, the core of the shop, have a dedicated following and a reputation built on cleanliness. Long before other shops realized that the art was becoming legitimized, Jade was already as clean as a doctor's office. You're certain to see all of the steps involved in sterilizing the equipment--almost all of it disposable.

Best shop in the city. I went in there with an idea and they created a work of art. People say that this is a "flash" shop but they also do alot of custom work, just because they have alot of designs on there walls doesnt mean they are a "flash" shop its all there for the people who arent really sure what they want and then they take the idea and create a CUSTOM piece just for you. Jade def knows what there doin i mean they have been there 30 years. I think there competition needs to woory more about there shop and customers and not bad mouthing them on citysearch lol pathetic. They are the BEST and i will be going back.
Pros: great artists, custom work, good prices
Cons: parking

I called and spoke to CINDY and asked about prices on an navel piercing and a tattoo. I also asked if the price she gave me included the jewelry she said yes! it was 30$ by the way, my tattoo I went on to describe it and she starting getting and attitude like I was bothering her. But the miniute I said I wanted to bring cash she got really nice. At that point I should have hung up and tried a a diffrent shop, cause I could just tell somthing was not right. So I me and my friend's went there for a shop that claim's to have 22 artists I think I counted about 10 all the guy's were rude and perverted I even had one tell me that he wanted to "hook up" after he got off work!! Never the less I looked around which was the worst thing I did they did not leave me alone for more then a few miniute's. I asked about the piercing and was told 100$. WHAT!! On the phone they said 30$. Angie the piercer said oh that's if you get the "SPECIAL" which is a hoop the size of a silver dollar. Forget that!!!!! I went to leave I was out the door and they sent some guy to tell me that they could do it for 80$ I said no way and went on to leave the guy then looked at me like well who cares we don't need your business and called me stuck up . Not to mention all the guy's were trying to get in my pant's and my boyfriend is with me it's absurd. I think the guy's name was tony. All the owner care's about is the money you spend the guy's just want to get you in bed and the place is not as clean as the say steer clear of Jade dragon the tattoo I wanted they priced at 285$ I went and got it done somewhere else and it looks like it should be in a tattoo magazine I also paid 165$ which I thought was fair and did'nt get rushed in and out and had fun while getting it' Jade Dragon should be put out of business when Fat Joe was running it it was a little better but now Cindy does'nt know anything. They bait and switch on the price, guys are rude. try the smaller shops they make you feel at home. Good luck
Pros: None!!!!!!! I'LL Never Go Back!!!!
Cons: Bait and Switch, Rude, Pervert's, Money Hungry. Owner's Don't Care What goes On!!
