Jade Dragon Tattoo & Body Piercing
What People Are Saying About Jade Dragon Tattoo & Body Piercing

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.

Going down hill
by zepfan
I've been going to jade for over 25years & now I wont even step in there to go to the bathroom, I just got a tattoo done there 6weeks ago, I got a guitar on my arm the girl Tish that done It was cool & I wanted to get another one she told me that Gabe can do a real good one for you he likes rock n roll. So check this out I go in there on 7-16-09 @ 10pm (not crowded) the staff just sat there looking @ me eating their pizza & when the floor walker was done with his customers he joind the staff & ate some pizza not one person said nothing to me you talk about bad customer service they know how to do It, I stood there for about 5min so I walked out & will find a new place to sped my money.

Poor Customer Service
by Kamo35
Jade Dragon has horrible customer management. I have gotten over a $1,000 worth the tattoos there over the last couple of years alone with my most recent being a $600 tattoo. I went in to get my tattoo touched up and a woman named Cindy, who said she is part owner, was working and greeted me very rudely. The artist that has done my tattoos is named Tom but has recently moved on to another shop named Chi Town Tattoo. She wanted to charge me 390 dollars to get my tattoo touched up simply because Tom was no longer working at Jade Dragon. She also basically told me if I didn’t like the price then to get out, which I’m glad I did because I found a much better shop in Chi Town Tattoo. Tom immediately apologized for any inconvenience I encountered and offered to do the touch up right away. I would highly recommend Chi Town Tattoo because it has artists like Tom who know how to treat loyal customers and do great work. It looks like Jade Dragon has its best years behind it after the death of long time owner Fat Joe and the loss of several artists. I wouldn’t recommend Jade Dragon to anyone who is looking to be treated with respect due to the fact that they will not treat a profitable customer of several years with any kind of respect.
- Pros: None anymore
- Cons: Service to Returning Customers

Horrible!
by sassysammi
This place is a nightmare. I walked in with my boyfriend to get a nose piercing and was stared down like a piece of meat by all the employees as I was taken back. I called ahead and was told a nose piercing would be $40 then they tried to charge me $60 (I fought them and they lowered it back to what they originally told me). After the guy pierced me he walked away, even though he saw my nose gushing. When I asked for a paper towel, two of the guys started yelling at me and told me not to "don't get it all over their floor or else you'll clean it up!". Extremely unprofessional. If you're looking for good work, go elsewhere.
- Pros: none
- Cons: rude, overpriced, perverted, unprofessional
