Magick Dragon Tattoo Shop isn’t just a tattoo studio; it’s a home for artists, rebels, and anyone who dares to wear their story on their skin. For over a decade, it’s been my go-to for every tattoo that means something to me—and let me tell you, they don’t just put ink on you; they breathe life into it.
I’ve been a client since 2012, but this shop’s legacy goes back even further, carving its place in the community and hearts of everyone who walks through its doors. And what keeps me—and so many others—coming back? It’s simple: Magick Dragon is where creativity, honesty, and hard work collide in a judgment-free zone.
The Vibe: Rock ‘n’ Roll, No Judgments
From the moment you step into the Lawrenceville shop at 4785 Sugarloaf Parkway, you feel it—the energy, the freedom, the “you’re safe here” kind of welcome. They don’t care who you are or what you’re about; all that matters is that you leave with art that feels like you.
I’ve stuck with the Lawrenceville shop because it’s closer to me, but their original Gainesville location is where it all started—and the spirit of that legacy flows through both shops.
The Artists: Hardcore Creativity
The team at Magick Dragon is stacked with talent. Each artist brings their unique style, personality, and vision to the table, and together, they create something magic. Whether you’re looking for bold traditional designs, intricate portraits, or something entirely your own, this crew delivers every single time:
-
Steven Matthews (@stevenmatthewstattoos), the store manager, keeps the creative energy flowing.
-
K.J. Robinson (@k.j.robinsontattoos) crafts designs with bold lines and flair.
-
Amanda (@the_velvet_hammer_tattoo) brings an edge to every piece.
-
Layla Hege, the shop’s portrait queen (@laylahege), works by appointment only.
-
Dwight Schindler (@sdtattoos) and Josh Triplett (@tri7tattoo) round out the team with their unique takes on the art form.
-
Kristen Martin (@kayrazy10) pushes the boundaries of ink, bringing your visions to life.
-
And my go-to guys, Luchiano (@foreignluchiano) and Collin Catastrophe (@collin_catastrophe), have done every piece of ink I wear proudly today. These two are absolute rockstars with a needle, and their art speaks louder than words.
The Piercing Crew: Precision and Personality
Tattoos aren’t the only thing they excel at. If piercings are your thing, this crew has you covered:
-
Baylie Dyer (@pinkmothpiercing), the shop’s resident multitasking queen, keeps things running smoothly and nails every piercing she does.
-
Ashley (@swampfox.piercings), Isaiah (@daedricpiercing), and Felix (@moonviolence) round out a team of piercing pros who are just as passionate about their craft as the tattoo artists.
Why It Matters
Magick Dragon isn’t just a place to get ink or piercings—it’s a space where people come to connect, express themselves, and leave a little piece of their story behind. It’s a community within the community. No matter who you are or what you’re about, you’ll find acceptance here. That’s rare, and it’s what makes this place more than a shop.
So, if you’re looking for ink that speaks your truth, a piercing that stands out, or just a space where you can be unapologetically you, Magick Dragon Tattoo Shop is the place to be.
