Flaming Dragon Tattoo Company first opened its doors on October 1,1998. The original location was in downtown Tacoma, on the corner of 24th & Pacific Ave. We now have two locations.

As other talented tattooists expressed interest in working to develop their skills in the creative environment presented by the Flaming Dragon team, it was necessary to open a second location to facilitate our space requirements, and expand our customer base. Acquiring a 2-story, 1918 farmhouse in the eclectic "6th & Proctor" neighborhood of Tacoma, another location was opened on September 1,2005. It can be found at 3912 6th Ave.

As a whole, Flaming Dragon Tattoo Co. has become one of the most creative attractions the world of tattooing has to offer. While the "38th & G." location presents itself as a busy street shop, the "6th & Proctor" location has a museum-like atmosphere, with hand painted artwork, antique tattoo devices, and various unique souvenirs collected from all corners of the earth.
Both locations are walk-in friendly, and all tattooists are capable of designing and applying high quality, custom imagery for those who wish to commission our tattoo services. Occasionally, an appointment is necessary, as we are busy, and handle all customers on a first come-first serve basis.

All piercing duties are handled at the 38th & G St. location, by Chris McQueen. Chris carries a wide assortment of jewelry, and is capable of handling the most advanced of piercing projects. As a member of our tattoo family, Chris' knowledge, input, and energy have been priceless.

All artists have been carefully selected to work as a member of the Flaming Dragon artistic effort. Many facets are taken into account when a tattooist is considered to join us, such as artistic talent, technical skill, historic knowledge, passion for the art, etc. These are huge factors to consider, and these are fundamentals that continue to develop over a lifetime. We are fortunate to be involved with one another. Each individual brings a unique style and area of interest that is shared and received by one-another, and, as a result, progress and learning excel, and all members of our group benefit.

As owner of Flaming Dragon Tattoo Co., I feel compelled to speak of the pride I feel for all tattooists participating in this cooperative effort. They have proven themselves to possess a drive that requires them to create from their hearts, and all feel a necessity to grow as a personal goal. There is energy in this drive, and I believe it is felt by all those who receive our efforts. All who work with me here are my friends, and I am proud to know them.


VIVA LA DRAGON!
