I wish I could give zero stars but unfortunately I can't. These really creepy guys pierced my septum and he smelled like weed and he seemed very high and it made me uncomfortable but I was 16 and was an idiot so I ended getting the piercing and it got very infected and it was so painful and crooked so I would STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE thank you. read more

Got a helix piercing here years ago. Told the piercer multiple times before being pierced that I eventually wanted to put a hoop in it. It was pierced crooked and I was unable to get the jewelry out for years (the ball was also screwed on crooked) until I had enough of struggling on my own to get it out and went to a different piercing shop, where I also was told that it was in the incorrect spot to ever put a hoop in. I have many piercings and this was by far my worst experience read more

Had my first tattoo experience at d and b. From the first phone call to booking and sending in a stencil idea the staff was great. The shop was super clean, and had had a great COVID protocol for getting a tattoo in trying times.Our family will be going back read more

The place is small but cozy and very clean. I went in to get my tongue pierced and I was very nervous but the piercer (Liz) made me feel relaxed and made a couple jokes before going over the procedure and care for the piercing. I've got a couple more piercings planned and I will definitely be going back here. read more

I have had a few of my peircings completed by this place and I must say that the service was wonderful. The man who does peircings there is very professional and well educated on the proper safty precautions that come along with something of a sensitive nature. Very reccomended :) read more

These people have no clue. Just stay away. Your tattoo will be fucked up and your piercing wont be placed right. I was dumb enough to get my first tattoo here, and a piercing years ago. The guy who pierced me was creepy and the woman who tattooed me didn't disclose she had JUST started tattooing. She over worked my skin, caused scarring and all color fell out because of this. It's also very blown out. I'm not the only example of this. I have a few friends who have tattoos from Dragon Butterfly that are just terrible. I wish I could give this place -5 stars. Remember folks, cheap tattoos aren't good and good tattoos aren't cheap. Always look at portfolios and shop around before you choose an artist. If you see someone who's heavily tattooed and you're wondering where they get their best work, don't be shy, ask them! read more

I wanted to write an update of my review not because I was displeased with the customer service but because of the quality of the tattoo. Now that my tattoo is healed it is clearly uneven, thicker in some spots and thinner in others. Also the letter on my wrist was done so hard that is raised and has scar tissue that is painful to the touch. I have had the tattoo looked at by a few other local tattoo artists who all agree that it was done by someone who is inexperienced and I am now in the process of designing a cover up. I have yet to talk Dragon and Butterfly but I do plan on contacting the owner to discuss my concerns. read more

I had my first tattoo done here and I THINK it was Colleen who did mine...? I went with my boyfriend and friend who also got tattoos. My boyfriend also had his done by Colleen and my friend had hers done by...Bradon? so I feel like I can comment pretty well overall. I had to have my tattoo drawn up and she did a very nice job with it. However, she didn't seem super friendly overall and I get the impression she doesn't smile very often. I felt like if I was unhappy with something, she'd be ticked off if I mentioned it (but thankfully I was happy with the drawing, placement, and size!). The prices are very reasonable compared to other places, say, in the center of Halifax, but I feel like there is a reason for that. While I LOVE and am very happy with my tattoo it is not AS professional looking as other places. The lines are sometimes a little shaky or suddenly transform from thick to thin. Nothing major or super noticeable but worth mentioning. One thing that's really great about this place is that they offer free touch-ups within 6months of getting your tattoo done (or at least they did back in 2010 when I had mine done). I actually had to take advantage of this (for a really faded portion of my tattoo), as well as my boyfriend (to fix an uneven portion of his tattoo that had been bothering him). My friend who also got a tattoo with us did not need to get hers touched up, and she had hers done by the guy (who seemed much nicer). All in all, this isn't a bad place to go for a tattoo. It's very clean and most of the people there seem pretty friendly. Although I have stated that the lines are not as clean as I've seen from other places, it's not something you can really tell unless you're looking for it or viewing it closer than anyone else would be looking at it. I'd probably go here again if I really wanted a tattoo and wanted to save a bit on cost. I'd just recommend avoiding the girl who works (worked?) there if possible. She's not a bad tattooist or anything...just a weird vibe. Maybe that's just me. read more

Just recently took my piercing done a year ago out. It left some damage. I had to change out the piercing because I could tell they did not pierce it with the right size, seeing as it had no room for swelling. The bad piercing could be partly my fault, of course I'm the one that needed to take care of it, but my other piercings are perfect (done in other piercing shops...) Other than that, it was just not a friendly environment and it felt scarier than it needed to be for my first piercing. Employees didn't speak much or explain much. My second ever piercing was just a month after that at a different piercing shop and it was a much more pleasant, educational and correct procedure. read more

I loved the shop at first but after a week of having my stainless steel tunnels they rusted slightly and irritated my ears ALOT. My stone tunnels are some how crumbling also . Very upset with the product. read more

Got my navel pierced here today :) I was very nervous but the piercer was knowledgeable and nice. The shop was very clean and welcoming. Lots of jewelry on display in the front area, and the lady who pierced me gave me all of the care information and waited for me to be ready to be pierced. The piercing itself was almost painless and the piercers calm demeanor was very soothing. I would definitely recommend this shop for piercings, I can't recommend it for tattoos however as I have not been tattooed there. read more

Would not recommend, I tried to schedule my thigh tattoo twice with this company and the first time they said the tattoo artist didn't show up. This didn't happen once either, this happened twice and the second time was the only time I could do it since I start school soon. :( Piercings were also messed up. read more

Horrible place... my friend and I went in to go get our nipples pierced. We weren't able to meet the piercer before hand and when we finally did meet him he was extremely rude and a bit creepy. He told my friend that I was stupid and made her cry while she was getting her piercing, and unlike a professional he didn't try to calm her down or comfort her. When we first met him we were talking to him trying to get to know and be comfortable with him, he told us both to shut up and that he didn't want to be there all day. Overall the place was not very nice, the piercer was completely unprofessional, rude, and impatient... I do not recommend this place to ANYONE looking to get pierced. read more

This April i got my nose pierced here and months later i could not take it out myself. They convinced me to get the more expensive piercing so it wouldn't "easily fall out". As the woman started the procedure my boyfriend began to film it and the woman became very uncomfortable and asked him not to. Fast-forward to today, i had to go to another shop to have them remove the piercing as i could not take it out myself. As the piercers examined my nose they had a lot of trouble taking it out and finally realized that the woman at Dragon & Butterfly used a Labret piercing in my NOSE. A Labret piercing is meant for your ear or lip. My nose was traumatized and bleeding. Now i understand why she didn't appreciate filming because she performing an inaccurate procedure. This shop is a scam and they are piercing peoples nose with INCORRECT jewelry. I am very disturbed and disappointed with the entire experience. 0/10 would not recommend. read more

Do NOT go here. I went with a couple of my friends to get our navels done and I'm so glad to have backed out last minute. Only 2/5 friends kept theirs in as the others rejected or got infected even though they keep good care of their piercings and the other two have crooked piercings. I also have two friends who went here for tattoos and received uneven lettering. It's reasonably clean & sterile but the staff don't seem to have a clue. read more

This place deserves -15 for its service , bordering on harassment . There horrible piercing and tattoo skills . It's creepy , and does not seem very qualified . My friends were casually harassed , and I was treated like shit thought the whole or deal , and beside that. I wouldn't have went if I met the piercer before hand , but they won't let you until you sign , and Of course no refunds , I walked out of there crying and angry . And so outraged and I never want someone to have to go through that . read more
