dragon lily tattoo

Rhode Island’s Best Tattoo Shop, Dragon Lily Tattoo, is one of the fastest growing custom tattoo shops in Rhode Island. Our fast growth is based on our commitment to excellence, both in artwork and customer service. We are located in Portsmouth, but we often hear our clients refer to us as “The Absolute BEST Tattoo shop in Rhode Island” and we agree.

With so many shops to choose from, the artists at Dragon Lily Tattoo really appreciate that you have chosen our shop. To show our appreciation, every customer who spends at least $100 toward their tattoo will receive a $25.00 gift certificate good towards their next tattoo.

Dragon Lily Tattoo is also proud to be the only provider of a "Free Tattoo Program". Many clients are surprised to discover that we really will apply a tattoo for free; in fact many of our clients received their tattoo for free. Find out how; click here "FREE TATTOO"

Dragon Lily Tattoo is committed to providing high quality custom tattoos at very affordable prices, usually much less then what you might expect to pay at other shops. Even though we offer affordability, we strive for excellence at all times, whether you are looking to get a complete sleeve or just a small tattoo of your favorite person’s name.

We never rush clients into a decision. We prefer to sit with the client and discuss what it is exactly that they are looking for. We take pride in our work and our primary goal is customer satisfaction. We want you to be proud of your new tattoo.

We have a large comfortable reception area as well as two private, clean and well lighted tattoo rooms. We always use clean, sterile techniques and equipment. We use only the highest quality inks, as well as surgical grade, sterile, single use, stainless steel needles.

Our shop has been reviewed and licensed by the Rhode Island Department of Health. The Department of Health representative commented that our shop was “the cleanest, most comfortable shop she’d ever been in”. Dragon Lily Tattoo is also a certified participant in the Sterilizer Monitoring Program, which also includes healthcare organizations such as: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), American Dental Association (ADA), and Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI).

We are very proud of both our shop and our commitment to providing a clean safe environment for our clients.
