    Mom's tattoo

    Sage @ American dream tattoo is AMAZING!!! She is so talented... One of my best tattooing experiences EVER! She has the softest touch... she really brought this tattoo I had been wanting to get after my mother's passing to life. Thank you so much Sage for helping me pay the perfect tribute to mom... she would've loved it too! Definitely going back. THANK YOU!!!

    Loved this studio! I worked with Josie and she was splendid. As a first-time tattooer, I was a bit nervous, but she made this experience super smooth. She encompassed the design I had in my mind, and even offered me different design styles. Her personal artwork is also amazing!

    Joseph did a fantastic job on my very first tattoo (I'm currently 54 y/o). He's extremely talented and detail oriented. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Joseph at American Dream Tattoo Studio!!!!

    All five of us cousins getting matching toy soldier tattoos.

    I reached out to American Dream Tattoo late July to ask if they can do a 5-person matching tattoo in one appointment. I was able to DM Cielo on Instagram and she immediately responded. I sent her our idea of an outline of a toy soldier with some writing below it. We recently lost one of our cousins and so we wanted to get a matching tattoo to commemorate him. We got a price quote from Cielo and she asked us to drop off the deposit in cash. Later on that week, I went to the shop. The shop is located across the street from the Chuck E. Cheese we all spent our entire childhood at. What a full circle moment for us. I met with Carmine who took our deposit and set up our appointment for late August with him, Cielo and TKO. Fast forward to our appointment, we took the first available on Saturday which was at 12:30pm. I brought the image and text we all wanted and the artists started stenciling. Each tattoo took about 30 minutes! This included the shaving, placing the stencil and the actual tattoo. We were in and out in a little over 2 hours. Thank you Cielo, Carmine, and TKO for being apart of our healing process. We know our cousin is looking down at us in awe of our new tattoos. RIP Pat.

    Got my carnation tattoo.  TKO, is the man. He drew my carnation exactly how I wanted it.

    Came in with a drawing of what I wanted, TKO met all expectations. I couldn't be happier. American Dream Tattoo has done a couple of other friends Tattoo. Clean and quick.

    Very cool & chill vibes at this studio. Very clean and spacious . I was referred by my cousin, let me say Mike didn't disappoint. He was very welcoming and professional, being that this was my first tattoo, he made my experience great! I already had idea of what I wanted, and sent pics few weeks before. He sent me some sketches for me to view prior to my appointment. I was unsure about the size, he printed out different options so I could see the placement. Finally decided, and the expectations was definitely met. I could tell he's very passionate about his craft. He gave me lil background of how he started out. He's well experienced, and work is great. If you're looking for tattoo artist, definitely hit him up. Looking forward to my next one, and plan to send him some referrals. Thanks again Mike!

    Recommend Mike if you're looking for black and white with great detail. Walked in to set up something and met Mike. I pitched my first piece of the batman piece; we were able to get the piece done in one sitting of almost 10 hours - he was fine with stopping, but it was more on me wanting to see it done. Piece was great and came back months later for a second. Architecture that I also wanted black and white. This was also done in a single session. Pricing was solid for both pieces and loved the result. Mike provided a professional experience, solid conversation if you're open to it and will keep coming back as I want to add more pieces.

    I've been wanting to have tattoo forever (the past 15 yrs). And finally I did get one today as my own self care . I was very nervous. Kept browsing for designs, tattoo artists, with a bunch of "what ifs" in my mind. Finally I drew a sketch based on my kids' Chinese zodiacs, found Mike from YELP, fell in love with his arts (Yelp and IG), and contact him through IG. He is very fast and responsive replying to IG messages, it made it easier to communicate (lots of tattoo artists that I contacted before, took a week or more before replying). From the initial interaction (which is from October 2019), to today, Mike was very patience in answering my questions, easing my worries and catering me in changing the appointment's dates couple times. Today, Mike explained what was going to happened, what to be expected. And the first couple zapped, he did it slowly (2-3 seconds each), until I could tolerate it better and it was longer seconds. I love the result and I am so glad I did it! Thank you sooooo much!

    Still healing, but it's perfect/exactly what i wanted! Thanks, Mike!

    I've been trying to get my second tattoo done for months. Either timing on my end didn't work out, or trying to schedule last minute with various artists wasn't happening (they'd often get back to me too late). I decided to reach out to Mike recently and he got back to me in a very timely manner. I want to add another five star review for ADTS. Honestly, I am SO happy with how it turned out! I LOVE that I have a permanent work of art on my body to represent something close to my heart. Since it was only my second one, I was feeling a little nervous again. I could tell Mike was a pro and has been doing this awhile, because he was very good about asking me questions and keeping the convo going I'm guessing, to help get my mind off of the pain (which wasn't as bad as my first time, but to be fair, my first one was on the ribs...OUCH). Mike was super excellent with the detail and stippling; it is EXACTLY what I hoped for right down to the final size! I will definitely be back, because as many of you already know, this whole deal is addicting!

    My first tattoo. Placement on lower back (below waist)

    Had my first tattoo done in memorium of my dads passing. My tattoo artist, Joseph, was amazing. I sketched up a design and he drew up several versions until I got the look I wanted. He nailed it and I am thrilled with the final outcome! Thank you Joseph for making my first tattoo experience a great one! I also want to mention that the tattoo parlor is clean and employees were very professional.

    Got tattooed by Cielo yesterday and she was awesome! She did very meaningful tattoos for both my mom and myself. Grateful that Yelp brought this tattoo shop on my radar because we had a great experience.

    Second time coming here, they deserve 5 stars 100%!! My cousin and I got matching tattoos and they were very clear and clean about everything. We both had our stencils put on, and we wanted to move our tattoos a little bit and they were super chill about it. I felt comfortable the whole time! Not to mention the great lighting for a tattoo selfie! Thank you so much John and Joseph!!

However, when I arrived, I was informed by another staff member that the piercer Paul was running late, which was not communicated to me beforehand. During the piercing process, I felt the experience lacked proper communication and professionalism. I was told he was about to begin, but there was no clear countdown or warning before the needle was inserted. The procedure itself did not feel smooth, as there was a moment where the piercing was not fully through, which added to my discomfort. Pricing was also a concern. The forward helix piercing itself was $70. I then purchased a basic titanium rook jewelry piece for $20 (for a piercing I already had), bringing the total to $90. I added a $10 tip, making my final total $100. Given the quality of the experience, I did not feel that the service justified the cost and left feeling taken advantage of. I chose this shop because of its reputation and familiarity, especially since I was visiting my hometown and opted to come here instead of going to a studio in San Diego where I currently live. Unfortunately, this experience did not meet my expectations, and I left feeling disappointed.
