My entire experience has been nothing but phenomenal with Clorae. She designed peice of art for my leg that turned out better than I could ever imagined. One week out and the healing is flawless, absolutely no issues at all. I would absolutely ( and do) recommend her to any and everyone read more

Aura Art & Ink - My custom leg tattoo designed by the amazing Clorae - Tattoo Near Me - Mill Creek, Washington

I really wanted to love this shop, Clorae seemed professional and friendly and it seemed cool that she had three dogs in the shop during my tattoo. Unfortunately my tattoo didn't turn out great and instead of taking responsibility the blame was put on me and my skin. I have 20+ tattoos and followed after care protocol, stayed out of the sun, no swimming etc. Also, touch ups are $100 just a heads up. This was not communicated until after I reached out about a touch up. Most tattoo shops do complimentary touch ups so I would recommend looking elsewhere. (Edited: touch ups are $105) read more

I absolutely love Clorae! I have gone to her the last two times for tattoos and it's been such a pleasant experience each time. I instantly felt welcomed when we first met. Clorae is every customers dream... detailed! She does a fabulous job with fine line work and she also applies Lidocaine ointment which is such a nice touch! I will continue to see Clorae for the remaining of my tattoos :) read more

I have to say I had a great experience with Clorae today! She walked me through everything with it being my first time, and I definitely used the numbing cream that she sells there. I did not feel a thing. She's very talkative, which takes your mind off of the tattoo being done. I will definitely be going back to her for more tattoos in the future. read more

Wanted to get this memorial tattoo covered up, and Clorae made the transition so smooth. If it were anyone else creating a cover over my late grandmother, then it would simply not be so freeing. She drew up the flowers and design I would have imagined and wanted; the lavenders represent tranquil for her rest and a peony for a love never forgotten. I included that I didn't want the tattoo so dark, just enough to not be so noticeable at first glance. When I brought this up to other tattoo artists before I sought out Aura Inc., they declined. I am sincerely thankful that Clorae could be a genuine artist to make my wishes come true and speak to me with so much passion during my sessions. Also! The shop has two beautiful dogs named Bowie and Soul, and they are just energetic furr-balls, super adorable. Everyone at Aura Inc. are all entirely friendly! read more

Had a great experience! Clorae has great communication while we were talking design and when she drew up my design. Had a fun time during the tattoo session; she's a fun gal! My tattoo has been broken into sessions and I look forward to going back. I'll for sure get more tattoos from her. Highly recommended. read more

Aura Art & Ink - Watercolor tattoo. Hummingbird tattoo. - Tattoo Near Me - Mill Creek, Washington

Since I found Clorae, she has been my exclusive tattoo artist. With even the vaguest of ideas, she has turned out beautiful pieces for me - including a coverup and original artwork pieces. It's always great to know I'm coming into her studio and that it will be just me and her. She is always willing to work with me on session lengths and design concepts - letting me live my nerdy dreams without judgement. I don't feel like I need to tough it out to "impress" a bunch of tattoo bros. She's great at knowing when your skin is done for the day, so that you don't push it too far too! I feel a mutual respect for the art and time it takes to make a tattoo come to life. So if you're on the fence, just know that with Clorae you don't get the typical tattoo shop experience. You get one on one service in a fun and safe atmosphere. I'm so thankful I've gotten to be her client for the past few years. read more

I am usually so good at vetting out scam sites, but I ignored some bad reviews on this tattooist. I contacted Clorae to cordinate some small tattoos for two friends and myself. I gave descriptions of the size, design and location of small tattoo designs for the three of us. Clorae insisted I pay a deposit and I complied. She asked some questions regarding the designs and I copied a text from my friend regarding the initials of her kids that would be in an orange slice on her arm. Clora immediatly became very angry and said she didn't mean to be a bitch, but she went on a rant that was obviously copied and pasted into the text stream about how insulted she was. She told me she couldn't work with me due to how offended she was about the children's initials in an orange slice? I apologized and tried to appease her and reassure her that I was sorry for whatever I had said to disrespect her (children's initials?). She said she couldn't work with me which was a blessing because I would not want someone so unstable and maniacle holding a needle to my skin. When I asked her what her refund policy was since she was refusing to work with me; she pasted another long winded text about her refund policy. When i realized what trap i had just stepped into; I told Clorae what I have learned in life..."Karma is a bitch". This could be a mental health issue, but it really felt more like a way to get free money. read more

From the moment you walk in the door, you get greeted by the 3 most adorable doggos ever. And then there's Clorae, who was very personable, down to earth, and very easy to talk to. It was like talking to an old friend I hadn't seen in a while; she felt that comfortable. And then there's Erik who is basically the life of the party lol. Very funny, very engaging, and easy to talk to. Between the two of them, you really feel like you're in the best of hands. I had no idea what I was getting going in, and Clorae was super easygoing and patient throughout the whole process, helping me choose what designs I wanted, and she even freehanded some of them as well (which turned out AMAZING)!!! I really cannot recommend them enough, literally the dynamic duo lol, and I can't wait to go back and get some more tattoos through them!!! *my fiancé who was there also really enjoyed their company as well, and he hates needles lol, but he LOVED nerding out with them about games and movies and everything else lol* read more

Clorae... You really need a wake up call! The consent form: You never mentioned it had to be done a day in advance! I had questions that i DID ask.. (check your camera or whatever!) I wanted to know why do you need my dob, dl and basically sensitive information for a tattoo and that too a second time! And when U answered - i WAS absolutely FINE with it! I did say that you may have sent a diff form last time coz the current form wasnt working on my phone, (which u pointed was coz i was using an android). And I dont remember having this problem earlier. Which is why i used YOUR PHONE... Remember??? Hence the confusion. And i even said... I may have forgotten what u sent the last time... Who knows. Age is catching up and i cant remember .. I was happily chatting away.. It was a simple thing!!! Go- check your camera for proof! And for anyone with any brain cells .. it would not have taken more than 5 mins to fill up that form... Which i did. Its not rocket science! I was never rude! You made a HUGE deal out of nothing! I was infact tooo excited for my tattoo! Go.. Check your messages!! Behavior: More than anything, am deeply hurt by your behavior coz i really thought we were almost friends! I was looking forward to seeing you and the adorable dogs. I even got gifts for them! You were rude from the very first "hey" and anyone could tell that you were pissed, even screaming at your coworker for the choice of music. And yes, I was concerned and hence asked you a few times if you were ok, if everything was fine. Any sane person would take it the right way. But you said it made you uncomfortable!!! Wow!!! And yes, I never intended to "disturb" your family time. I never asked you to ever respond immediately! Its a text about a tattoo design. Not a sos! And I sent you texts post 5pm coz you did. Again- not a big deal. Unless you make it ! And I did apologize when you said you were busy. Wifi: I screamed?! Girl.. i "asked". A simple common question - whats the wifi?! U got offended for that too?!?! Two tattoos: Please check the messages - From the very first time i told you I wanted 2 tattoos, i checked if you would have time for both on the same day and went ahead with the idea only when you agreed. And stuck to it. You always had the option to move my second to another day! It was never really a big deal for me. Professionalism (?) : After everything, you seemed ready, changed the music, worked on my stencils, asked me to wait for the completed stencils, 30 mins later, came back and decided to not go ahead with the tattoos coz you were panicking! I was still ok with that... And asked if you wanted to reschedule and you denied that. All during MY APPOINTED time with me sitting right there waiting! I was ok even then, but your rude comments shook me! And i had had enough by then. Its not about the $70 advance, including the $15 tip! that you refused to refund. Its about professionalism.. or in your case, the lack of it! You literally assumed circumstances that was far from the truth. I was a client that was fond of you- was happy and excited to be there, enjoying, complimenting your co-worker on her beautiful lashes, playing with your adorable dogs, was excited about the tattoo. And you, in your sick state of mind were awful, and downright weird ! There's no doubt you are talented, but unless you change your behavior and crazy outbursts, your business is going downhill. And i hope it does, coz sane people definitely deserve better! Keep the change honey! read more

I had my second session at Aura Art & Ink today with Clorae. Just like my first session this session was awesome. The studio is nice, clean and comfortable. Clorae is a fantastic artist with an eye for detail. I told her what I had in mind and she added her personal touch and my tattoo turned out even better than I could have imagined. I absolutely love it. I will not be going any place else. read more

I found Clorae through Instagram looking specifically for watercolor tattoos. She is the most gentle-handed artist you will find!! She will not overwork your skin, and healing has been a breeze after all my sessions. She runs an ethical business and is kind and enjoyable to be around. read more

Awesome! From start to finish. Scheduling was super easy via text and even if you have a million questions they are great. Amanda did a great job with my 2nd lobe piercings! Great communication and made me feel super comfortable. The dogs in hoodies that welcome you when you come in is a HUGE plus Studio has a great vibe and looks super clean. Definitely will be coming back for any future work. read more

The staff is amazing and super professional and made me feel at home. The studio was clean and the piercings went quick and look amazing. I highly recommend both clorae and Amanda!! read more

Clorae was super awesome to work with! I went in to get my moms handwriting and it only took about 15 min to do but I had the full hour. She ended up touching up a flower on my arm that had been very faded. The environment was super clean and Clorae was so fun to talk with. I can't wait for my next tattoo with Clorae! read more

I have been searching for a year now for someone good to do a flower in honor of my mother. I found this place that was near me on yelp since I was new to the area. I booked a consultation with Clorae. She is awesome. She seems to really care and is super nice. She made me feel at ease. She mentioned she could put my mothers ashes in the dark ink. I thought that was amazing. She also wrote my mothers dates in her own hand writing from papers I kept. She matched it perfectly. I was so nervous but Clorae made me feel at ease. She is amazing. My skin took the color perfectly and I'm so excited with the results. I will have my mom forever. I will definitely get another tattoo from Clorae. I highly recommend this place. read more

I'm currently getting my sleeve done by Clorae. I have no words to describe how truly amazing her art work is the amount of time and effort she puts into her work is beyond perfect. I've had plenty of tattoos in my past she genuinely cares about the art work that she is putting on your body. It's means something to her just as much as it means to me. Her space is amazing too very relaxing yes I know I said relaxing during a tattoo but it's true! She doesn't play death metal music during your session. I have also got my makeup done by her a few times for events and Photoshoot's. She can do anything from natural looks to night out glam work! read more

I had work done by Clorae before she changed her studio name (Dragons of Heaven) It was one of the worse experiences of my life. I choose this studio based on the photos that were posted and great reviews. Found out they weren't done by her. Clorae and Erik double booked me then decided to move my appt further out. When it came time I received a reminder text for the the wrong day and time. When I get to my appt no one is there, 30 minuets later Clorae & Erik show up with their lattes. After doing my 2 tattoos they both need touch ups badly. One had lines that didn't even connect and the other had bad blow out. When I made the appt for the touch up no one mentioned the studio had moved! My wrist tattoo now has 2 sets of lines and my side piece you can't even read. I now have to pay another artist to fix what I had already paid for. Unless she has greatly improved in the last year DONT go here. read more

I have always felt safe and comfortable. I love how clean she keeps her place! Even with COVID going on. I'm so happy that I found my forever tattoo artist that I know I will be happy with. read more

i'm pretty sure she makes most of her income off scamming people. definitely profit over people vibes. paid her $250 for a tattoo i didn't even receive. told her i have at home covid tests and she declined said it had to be from a clinic- what if i didn't have insurance? or what if other customers don't have access to a clinic?? anyways i went to clinic for covid test and she still cancelled on me. and even after i sent her the money she sends me 3 long paragraphs about who knows what- i just blocked her at that point. what a shame. read more

I went in for my memorial tattoo yesterday, it was a recreation of my moms tattoo with some of her ashes mixed in. Clorae was amazing from start to finish, she understood it was emotional and made sure I knew it was ok to cry. I will 100% return for my next tattoo. read more
