I booked online for a navel piercing and was scheduled with Jay. Great experience from the time I walked in the door until I was finished. Extremely clean facility, well lit and spacious. I’ve wanted a navel piercing since college and 20 years later finally got it done. I wish I did it 20 years ago! Almost no pain, fast and I am smiling at the pretty gold bar.

Got my 8yr old daughters ears done here. GREAT experience for everyone involved. Kait was Amazing at explaining everything to her as they went!! Jewelry is top quality too

Great experience! I walked in with a disaster I had done 6 months ago and Kari completely perfected it. Before and after pictures attached. Amazing job!

Incredible place, happy I choose Andrew Douglas for my first tattoo. Very friendly crew, had a great vibe watching Kung Fury and singing along to 80s classics for a 7 hour session. Honestly blew away every expectation I had. I checked out the other tattoo work happening while I was there and every piece was incredible, detailed, great color, etc.Andrew had an immaculate eye for detail, handled a pretty crazy design request from a 16 bit Super Nintendo game without a lot of source material, and he had the most infectiously great attitude through the whole experience.Cant recommend this place highly enough. Need more stars.

My tattoo is beautiful. Zach did great work. The rest of the crew seems very friendly as well!

Tyler Daubenmeir is very talented and a passionate artist. Ive been extremely satisfied along with several of my friends with all his work that weve had done and also see him do. All artist at Neon dragon are very talented. Jason the owner runs a tight ship!! The studio is a very clean environment and tons of good vibes all around. Best&Only place to get tattoo hands down.

I got a rook piercing done by Kait and couldnt be happier. I loved that I could easily book online and the process was seamless. Everyone was so friendly and everything was super clean. Also love that Neon Dragon carries high quality jewelry brands like BVLA. Cedar Rapids is lucky to have such a great place for piercings.

Kari is awesome! Made me feel so at ease for my first tattoo. Great experience!

This is the best place to get work done and the wait is worth it....

Went for a piercing and everything went fabulously! Kait did an amazing job and super friendly and fun!

Very friendly and informative. Went over all the information do could make an informed decision. High grade materials. Clean and sanitary.

Great place, clean and friendly staff! Highly recommend for piercings and tattoos!!

Be patient all things are worth waiting for. Best artists in town.

I enjoyed my experience at Neon Dragon. The staff were friendly and professional. All artists are extremely talented. I have and will continue to recommend Neon Dragon to anyone seeking quality products and experience.

Have had several tattoos here. They are professional and clean would highly recommend this place to anyone.

I just got a tattoo today from Alex and let me tell you, it looks amazing. It only took 2 and a half hours too! I am very impressed with her work and recommend her to everyone!

Make it too hard to actually talk to someone. And they dont even answer the phone during business hours when they are in the building and I watch them leave 10 mins early after I call 30 mins before close. Very disappointed

Friendly, knowledgeable staff! Always a great experience!

Great service. My artist was awesome and Im super happy how my tattoo turned out, Ill definitely be back for more work.

Awesome as always. The only place I go and trust. Thanks Jason

I got my first tattoo here today with Andrew. Recomended 100%

I drove 15 hours from North Carolina to have work done by Andrew Douglas. It was VERY much worth the trip. The shop is clean and everyone is extremely friendly and professional. All of the artists work I have seen is amazing and incredibly detailed. Andrew did an amazing job on my tattoo today and I hope to be able to book with him again in the future. I would highly recommend this shop to anyone local or looking to travel.

Drove 12 hours to get a tattoo from Andrew. The studio is welcoming and very clean. Just a great atmosphere and quality work.

Just got my first tattoo from their apprentice, Kari. She did an amazing job. Everyone was friendly and professional. I had a great time. Ill definitely be going back for more.

Pretty nice place for Tatts.

Amazing service and knowledgeable staff

The best there is. Professional, exceptionally clean. The artists here can do anything you might want.

Amazing! I had recently gotten a daith piercing and I ended up getting keloids NOT because of the piercer. I have very sensitive ears and knew that I would need to really make sure I was proactively cleaning it and making sure to just leave it alone. There were so many good quality jewelry pieces to choose from. The piercer was super professional and the piercing was super quick. Everything was sanitized. Everything was clean. When I went in for my checkup appointment about a month after getting the piercing, we were able to catch the developing keloids. I was given many helpful tips on how to get rid of them. My piercing is keloid free now. They were all super helpful and my piercing looks great!

My go-to spot for all my tattoos and piercings! They are APP certified and always do an excellent job with piercings. The tattoo artists also have a wide range of skill and their ink is super high-quality! Any style tattoo you want, they can do it!

Zach is great. I enjoyed our first session. He allowed me to take breaks when needed and took my pain tolerance and limits seriously.

Morgan is great and does amazing work!!

Best place in town! Its like the Cheers of tattoo shops. Every body has talent and they are all super friendly.

I have gotten many piercings over the past few years from different places, but the only place that I have been fully impressed with is Neon Dragon. Yes, they are a bit pricier, but they have the best quality jewelry you can get. They are extremely knowledgeable about their jewelry and piercings. Among their high-quality jewelry, is the cleanliness of the place and their practices. They do everything correctly. This is the only place that I have not gotten some level of infection from, and their jewelry stays beautiful for a very long time. I have continuously came back just to buy jewelry here because you cannot beat the quality. I have yet to get a tattoo here, but it will absolutely be where I get my next one!

My favorite tattoo shop in iowa!!.. they did a great job on my piercings and zak did a amazing job on my tattoo!! Cant wait to go back and get more

They are so clean and do there best to make you comfortable

Good experience with the guy at the front, but the artist was a different story. Overall not the best tattoo experience and the end result wasnt much better, felt kinda like an inconvenience.

I have had several piercings done at Neon Dragon over the years and they are by far the best. Helpful, friendly, polite and informational. They make you feel like family.

This company took my payment of $600 up front on 05/10/20. I had to send the funds through PayPal directly to the artist(Kristin Phillippe). I was assured that due to Covid-19 I would be able to request a refund for health related issues. My physician has provided me with documentation indicating that unfortunately a tattoo at this time would be unsafe for not only me but also the artist. I explained this to Kris and Jason(shop owner?). They refuse to return my money even though they have done nothing to earn that money. Taking my money for no service is stealing! I filed in small claims. Do Not Give These People Your Money before Services are completed. They will take your money!

Love the people who work here! They make sure you know exactly what your getting

My good friend the Peoples Tight End George Kittle of the Greatest NFL team the San Francisco 49ers recommended the Neon Dragon Tattoos! After seeing the new Halo Tattoo! I was blown away by the quality of detail. It is easily the greatest gaming tattoo! No joke!

Kait was so friendly and helpful. Really enjoyed my experience

Neon Dragon has the best vibes in Iowa. The friendly staff is awesome.

Very nice establishment, warm and inviting.

I experienced Neon Dragon for the first time the other day to get my nostril pierced. Kait & everyone on staff was extremely kind & very professional. I felt extremely safe in their sanitary environment. I’ll be going back to see Kait soon!! Can’t say enough great things...

If you want amazing quality work along with an awesome staff, this is the place to go! Many talented artists work here. Pop on in and talk to them. They are very welcoming. Jason did my half sleeve and its colorful and vibrant. Cant wait for my next piece!

Love my new tattoo. Zach was very easy to talk to about question and details before and during the appointment. Thank you guys !!!

Awesome experience! Staff was incredibly friendly, environment was clean and welcoming and Zach Shields gave me the best tattoo I have. I am definitely going back here to have him do my next one!!

Spent a solid 9 hours with Zach getting a masterpiece! Absolutely fantastic work! Could not be happier!

I had gotten a new cartilage piercing at another place, but just knew something was wrong with the piercing and had been in pain for 3 months. I went to Neon dragon and had a visit with Heidi, and she was able to tell me that I was allergic to the old piercing and helped me find the right jewelry for me! I will only be going to Neon dragon from here on for all of my jewelry and piercing needs!

I love this place

I was very impressed by how nice and helpful everyone was. I got my belly button pierced here and was nervous but they made me feel comfortable. Even gave me a piece of candy when my blood sugar was dropping. Highly recommend.

Superior and knowledgeable

I got 3 piercings here while visiting Iowa. I was hoping for a fourth, and they explained why an industrial piercing wouldnt be a good idea using photographs of other ears with that piercing vs the shape of my ear, the visual aids really helping me to understand that the look I want wouldnt be possible without damaging my ear.They refuse to do anything harmful, and if a piercing has risks associated with it they will explain them in detail to you beforehand. It was explained to me they sterilize the needles for piercing as well as the jewelry using the same machine as dentists offices, then they double check that its sterile. I was very informed during every step of the process, and after piercing they gave me aftercare instructions, and recommended I follow up with another APP piercing shop one month after getting these piercings as followup.

We will never go anywhere else! Our Daughters Ears Look BEAUTIFUL AND INFECTION FREE!!! They had a FLAWLESS medical grade sterile field for the procedure! Worth EVERY penny!

Great place for piercing and tattoo needs. Ive gotten several piercings and one tattoo (soon to be more!) from this shop and wont go anywhere else after subpar experiences for both piercing and tattoo work at a different local shop. Anybody that works at this shop is excellent, and they are honest about expectations and outcomes. Do yourself a favor and go here!

Amazing work!! JayR has pierced me multiple times. Hes very good with people of all ages and he is professional and reassuring. I highly recommend him.

Great staff, good prices, nice place

Very nice, clean, and friendly shop! I went in and asked for a tattoo and they guys in there got me an appointment set up quickly, and I got to talk to the artist immediately. Zane Decker is amazing! Everyone in the shop and Zane are all great to talk too, and the time went quickly! My tattoo is crisp, shaded nicely, and has great linework. Would reccomend to anyone looking for a tattoo or piercing.

They are really perfecional and friendly. Worth the money. I will definitely go back for more. Beautiful work.

Had a nose piercing done. Staff was very professional and made me feel at ease. Staff was joking around to make the atmosphere light. Great overall experience. Would highly recommend.

Clean and professional. Highly recommend the artists. They know what theyre doing. Alex is amazing.

Very cleanly, super nice people! All around fantastic experience, and I will be going back there in the future! Highly recommend this place!

I got my septum pierced here about a month ago and seeing as it was a piercing I had wanted for so many years I couldnt have asked for a better experience. The pricing was more than reasonable and the care that he took of me was beyond my expectations. Even on just a consultation the day before he felt the area to get a good idea of what it would be like and when I came back for the piercing he was extremely accommodating with my anxiety about needles making sure to keep me calm and relaxed and didnt have the needle in my line of sight up until the last necessary moment. He was very clear about what he was going to do and how to take care of it. All of this added up with the cleanliness and overall atmosphere of the shop Im insanely impressed and happy with my experience and I would 100% recommend going in here to any and everyone whether its your first piercing or your tenth its sure to be a great experience!

I’ve gotten 4 tattoos at Neon dragon and I’ve been more than happy with all of them. Kris does an amazing job and highly recommend going to her. I won’t go anywhere else. GREAT WORK!!!

I got pierced by JR and tattoos from Andrew! I will not go any place else. You hear people say their to expensive! Well its like this folks you get what you pay for I got great jewelry, I didnt have to go back for infection and it wasnt crooked for a piercing from JR. Andrew I got beautiful art work and vivid colors for a 3/4 sleeve. Their business by Galaxy 16 it is the most cleanest place I have ever been to, to get work done. They are very professional and make sure you are happy with the work that you ask for. Its well worth the trip, time and money I will never go anywhere else. Thank you guys.

Neon Dragon is a one of a kind place. Highly recommend taking your business there. Great people excellent atmosphere. 10 stars all day

I havent gotten pierced at Neon Dragon (yet!), but I have purchased body jewelry here. Excellent and beautiful selection at good prices. Jay R is extremely nice and easy to talk to. The shop itself is clean, beautiful and always full of music.I would definitely recommend anybody wanting a piercing and gorgeous, high quality jewelry to come here.

Had my first tattoo experience here! I went in to schedule an appointment, but due to the small size/simplicity of my tattoo, Rylee was kind enough to work me in. He was great at explaining everything to me, and talking with him while he worked was the highlight of my day. I was in and out in about an hour.Very clean and very friendly atmosphere, 11/10 would recommend.

Been coming here now almost a decade and this is one of the most fun places Ive been in a long time. Also they hold one of the highest standards of piercing in a 2 hour radius. Beautiful and well kept.

I have been to Neon Dragon many times. I have also been to other tattoo and piercing places. This shop and all the staff are by far the most talented artists I have seen anywhere in Iowa. Jay R is so miticulous with any piercing he does and the environment is clean and comfortable. I have had tattoos done by three of the artists at this shop also however I had Andrew do a full sleeve on me for my most recent experience. He BLEW ME AWAY! I gave him pictures and ideas for what I wanted and told him to put his own spin on it. The color and design that he came up with are better than I even imagined!! He was steady and hilarious! Kept me at ease for over 8 hours straight and dedicated his entire day to the amazing piece of art he did for me! I could not be more satisfied with Andrews work and the shop as a whole! You walk in and it doesnt feel or look like a tattoo parlor. You feel at home. I would highly recommend anyone to this business. The talent of the artists here can barely be contained by the walls of this building! Over the moon to have found this place!!

Phenomenal service and artists. I’ve been pierced and tattooed by multiple artists and every single one of them is knowledgeable, kind, and incredibly thorough.

I love the piercing I got there. Everyone made my first piercing so much better and when it came out they put it back in. I would highly recommend going here to get piercings and tattoos.

Had a FANTASTIC experience here with Morgan. It was an 8-hour session, but it was totally worth it. Knowledgable, friendly, and extremely talented staff.

Phenomenal staff!

If you’re considering getting a tattoo, I do not recommend the Neon Dragon Tattoo.I had an appointment scheduled weeks in advance and I left my job two hours early to make it to my appointment. Upon arrival, I was told that I needed something to eat so I sent my 12-year-old son over to the subway to get me a sandwich. Then, after filling out all the paperwork and eating something, my tattoo artist tells me that they don’t have my picture done and she’s not feeling well.This was very concerning to me. They had two ways of contacting me prior to the appointment, which was scheduled weeks in advance, and they did not contact me ahead of time to reschedule. Even if the artist suddenly wasn’t feeling well, why wasn’t the drawing done? She then told me that she will have my design done by Monday and would email it to me. Monday came and went and no email. So I go in there on Tuesday and tell her that I need to just get my money back because my design still hasn’t been finished and I don’t want to tattoo anymore. I just had too many bad vibes at that point and I didn’t want to do it. Her response is not to apologize for not getting the design done or wasting my time at the appointment, but that they don’t give back deposits. I have tried contacting the owner through calls and emails with no response. So now they won’t give me back my $200 deposit, I didn’t even see a drawing of what could have been, and no one ever returned any of my calls or emails.

They were very professional also educated in any metal allergy issues with people.

I will never go to anyone else! I love the atmosphere here, its really clean and just an overall good vibe in there. The artists are friendly and awesome at their job.

The only place I will EVER go for ink or piercings. Incredibly clean, every staff member treats you like a friend and you always have fun. Quality work from every artist and piercer.

I got my nose pierced and they were so knowledgeable and professional and great personalities!

Got my first tattoo here and it was so much more than I wanted! I was treated very kindly. 10/10 would definitely go to get more done there

I cannot express how amazing Neon dragon is. I was late to my appointment and they were totally cool about it! Then Jason did my tattoo. It’s a very large tattoo and also a cover up. I cannot wait to see the finished product. These guys kept me laughing the whole time. Cannot wait to go back!

Andrew and Tyler are awesome! They took so much extra time making sure my memorial tattoos were perfect. You have to wait to get an appointment but it is worth it!

Incredible staff - professional, kind, and fun! Got my 9yo daughters ears pierced and the whole experience was amazing. Highly recommend Neon Dragon!!

I have not been pierced or tattooed at Neon Dragon, but it has always been a pleasant experience everytime I have set foot in the shop. Its a very friendly and inviting atmosphere with plenty of artists overflowing with product knowledge. Jay R has helped me locate and acquire some of the nicest jewelry Ive owned. They deserve no less than a 5-star rating in my personal opinion.

My wife and kiddos all get their piercings done with Jay R Wilson, he and his staff are the best.

Piercings here are great. Very professional and clean. Got my nose done here in the past and just got my helix pierced twice. I would definitely recommend them.

These guys salvaged my slowly sinking nostril piercing. They switched my old one out to a much better, prettier one that is much easier to care for and is so far holding up wonderfully. I simply cannot recommend this place enough for body piercings.

Highly recommend this place!! Excellent tattoo shop. Kris is awesome.

I love this place! Kris is by far the best artist and Ill never let anyone else tattoo me!

PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A PIERCING REVIEW.I got my nose piercing done about a month ago and I was 14 at the time. They are very strict about working with minors and have a good policy about guardian permission. (if you are a minor, take you drivers licensee or any identification) They did an amazing job when it came to a clean, sterilized procedure. Jay-R did my piercing and he was very professional and knowledgeable about aftercare, the nose ring metals, and the process in general. IMPORTANT: I highly highly recommend that you buy the piercing cleaner they sell in their place. It is the most natural and simple cleaner I have found (besides water, which isnt always enough). I was using this for a while and everything was healing really well. Once I ran out, I was lazy and didnt pick up any more. So I used my Claires ear cleaner. Bad mistake. They have a chemical that actually slows down the piercings healing time. This caused me to break out around my nose and get a lump right above my piercing. When I went back in the Neon Dragon to have them look at it, they explained why this happened and how to fix it. Also, to come back in at anytime if I need further assistance.TO SUM THIS UP: Very knowledgeable staff, clean and fun environment, pick up their saline cleaning solution while their, helpful and good service. I would not go anywhere else for piercings or tattoos (for the future ^.^)

Morgan is amazing. Worth the wait to get an appointment

Fantastic experience. Friendly staff with very talented artists. This is my go to shop from now on, no questions asked.

NEON DRAGON!!!!! What an awesome shop!! All the artists and staff were Super friendly and very helpful! I got an amazily beautiful piece of art on my arm by Tyler Daubenmier!!! I definitely will be getting the rest of my artwork from here wont be going anywhere else. The shop is exceptionally clean. AMAZING place to go.

The piercing staff were amazing and very thorough and professional when we got our 9 year old daughters ears pierced for Christmas this year. They took time to talk to her about the process and explained how to care for her ears.

Got my rook pierced here. Very helpful and friendly staff. Clean and overall great place. A little on the pricey side, but very high quality and definitely worth it.

Incredibly clean environment. So much talent! Ill never go anywhere else!

Only ever had a piercings done here. I have to say, JR is great. Never had a problem. But if you go to Rob then STEER CLEAR. I had him replace my tongue ring and he didn’t ask the length of my bar just assumed, it was too long and I chipped my tooth. Just recently I had my tragus done and it was a mess. There was a hair within the hole which caused severe irritation, the piercing position was different from my other tragus, and the post I was give was entirely too small. Like I said, if it’s JR then go, he’s great, but I wouldn’t risk it with Rob anymore. But that’s just my 2 cents.

Very clean and Professionally run place. Top notch artists. You get what you pay for but honestly these guys should charge twice what they are charging.

Loved my experience entirely! The staff was friendly and helpful(not to mention properly trained and educated), and my piercings look perfect!

I have been going to neon for two years. I started only getting my tattoos there bit after a couple shoddy piercings at other studios Ive changed all of my piercings and tattoos to neon and couldnt be happier. Theyre always incredibly nice and understanding and helpful when looking at doing piercings and assessing your anatomy.
