Very accommodating. My husband and I showed up at opening. We were hoping someone could do a tattoo at that moment. We obviously didnt think that through We were visiting Southern, Ca over the weekend. We started doing searches for top tattoo locations...American Dream was always at the top! We ended up chatting with Shannon about our simple design for matching tattoos. Scheduled to return later that evening. Shannon did a great job at completing our tattoo.

Giving 1 star because even though I have gotten some really nice tattoos from Victor (best artist there), Manny gave me such a horrible tattoo that it’s so unreadable and I now need to go somewhere else just to get a coverup tattoo for it. Don’t go here for Manny, go here for any of the other wonderful artists.

True artist, they take time to get your idea, make it work as a tattoo, and tattoo it with precision. Manny helped me out and took time with my idea and really was all about my idea. Manny made me feel like my tattoo was his tattoo, and thats rad.

Just went in to get an old piercing opened up. They were thorough and super sterile. I left feeling like it was much healthier than going to the mall!

Great place, friendly helpfull staff. Took me as a walk in Jonathan did a great job on my tattoo! Bonus points for the old school punk rock shop soundtrack.

Wonderful job on my tattoo. Love it. Very satisfied with the service

I have been satisfied with every tattoo I’ve gotten done here. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. Victor is an amazing artist, he takes the time to make sure the tattoo is placed just perfectly, makes sure I am comfortable and is a cool person to talk to. I recommed this place to my friends and family whenever I can. You get what you pay and this place definitely is worth the money for something that stays permanently on your skin.

Absolutely phenomenal place! Everyone there is so friendly and helpful. You get exactly what you were wanting and they are so easy to work with. I am always happy with the tattoo work I get done here, and I will continue to recommend American Dream Tattoo to my friends and family, and I will most definitely return. Manny is always awesome!

6 good friends (youngest age 61, oldest age 70)...1st tattoos for all. Manny and the guys were great!...very patient with the “newbies”... we had a great time and if we ever decide to get another tat, this is the place!

Had my first tattoo done here by David.. Absolutely happy with the way it came out great experience...

This place is great for piercings. Really clean and the staff is really informative.

Jonathan is amazing. He took the idea that I wanted and made it a dream come true. My tattoo ended up being what I have envisioned for years. He took the time in showing me the way the writing would look and the birds I wanted. When it came time to positioning the paper he made sure I looked at it twice or more times before approving it. My experience with him was amazing. He kept talking to me and made sure I was ok, if i need to stretch or go to the bathroom because of the position I was in. Hes an amazing guy. I Definitely recommend him!!!

Great service And Great Tattoos. Got an amazing Tattoo by Tyler. Recommend Getting tattooed by him. Will be back for another tattoo soon!

Place is great. Got a tattoo from Mike. Solid work and good dude. Definitely would recommend.

Just called to ask the price for a nose piercing which is $60 and the woman on the phone was very friendly and gave me the information I needed about the piercer. Going to come here very soon, so far Id definitely recommend coming here due to the friendly staff and clean equipment they use for piercings.

One of the best places to get work done . perfectly polite staff and patriotic location!

I was a virgin but Manny helped me to understand, decide and go for a beautiful symbol of my emotion.Now I want another and would only go to Manny!!BTW, nicest people here. You wont feel strange or out of place. Im a 62 year young Grandmama!

Fyi they do not service minors even with parents present

This place is great! The staff are so nice. My piercer, Jonathan, was amazing. He was incredibly kind, informative, VERY knowledgeable, and gentle. The shops aesthetic is rad as hell, but most importantly theyre very clean and sterile. I highly recommended this shop!

Victor Hugo is a BEAST! No, really... hes witty, intelligent and most importantly a serious artist whos work reflects the shops ethos: to deliver the type of work that speaks for itself without a lot of fanfare.If you want a reality-show experience, and a rushed tattoo, DO NOT GO HERE. The entire staff at American Dream Tattoo Studio are dedicated craftsmen who apply their considerable skills with a care and honest desire to create art that you love... that was my experience!

Love the friendly vibe and attention to detail!! Always a pleasure visiting!!

Just got my belly button piercing done! Did research and honestly super pleased with how clean and professional they are. Jonathan was a great first experience. He walks you through the process, answers all your questions, and explains how to take care of it during the healing process!

Great first tattoo experience. Call it a mid-life crisis or something but on my 40th birthday I finally got the courage to get my namesake on my left upper arm. A huge roaring Lion. My wife and I seeked a great artist and after 5 tattoo places we chose Victor from American Dream Tattoo Studio. We saw his portfolio and noticed his attention to detail and his life like portrait style. Since I got it a week ago, Ive received a lot of compliments by people on the street. I love my first tattoo. Victor was awesome! Great personality and cool dude. Highly recommend this studio and Victor as your artist.

Great place and cool staff. Very helpful and knowledgeable. Went to see Manny for a quick tat and hooked it up good and reasonably priced. Thanks again Manny

Always leave happy. They all do good work but Victor is the guy to go to. Ive had lots of work done by him and will keep going back.

Got my tattoo over a year ago and it still looks new. I forgot the employees name but he did an excellent job.

Great shop friendly staff amazing work coming out of there. My favorite shop!

Jonathan is the best piercer ever! I got a helix piercing. He answered all my questions politely and precisely, and even made sure to explain every part of the procedure. For instance, he explained to me that prior to the piercing he wanted to see how close my preferred placement was to the blood vessels in my ear. He explained that hitting a blood vessel wouldnt kill me, but it would cause a lot of unnecessary bleeding. After my ear was pierced, he asked me how I was feeling, and made sure I was %100 and understood the proper way to care for my piercing before sending me home with his contact information, should I have any further questions. Its been 5 days and my ear is doing great!

Havent even stepped foot in the shop and already very impressed with the art Ive seen on a few of their customers. Was in line and noticed very clean line work and shading on someones arm and asked whos work it was and he said Victor. I now follow them on social and yesterdays tatt i saw of the flag , eagle and cuts ....very very NICE! CLEAN AF. Big Props. 4 stars only because Im waiting for my turn ;D

My guy that did my tattoo, Victor Hugo he is very good. I will be getting my next tattoo from him again.

Went in for my first tattoo, had a great experience. Everything went well Samuel made me feel very comfortable.

My daughter got her tounge pierced and the staff was amazing

Great Artists!! Great environment!!! Great work!! Thanks David !!!! I be back soon!!

Ive been there on November and it was an amazing experience! Very professional artist and very kind people! Ill return every time Ill go to LA!

I am very glad I made the right choice to come to this place to get my piercing everything was professional clean I recommend 100% Thanks Jonathan

Had to get my VCH piercing put back in because like an idiot, I took it out and couldnt get it back in. Ive had it for years so I was surprised that it actually closed a little. The piercer was very professional and efficient. If I ever get anything pierced again or have any trouble with my current piercing I would go back. Highly recommended.

Waaaay to over priced

Great service.

This place is great, went in and got a wrist tattoo done. Sammy did an amazing job, will definitely be back

Totally awesome! Old school style, helpful staff and full piercing studio! Worth the drive! Worth the money!

Took a friend to get a piercing. She loved it and would come back here to do all others.

David is the man i swear super friendly good at keeping people comfortable, light hand too for my first experience i loved the place overall and im going back

Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Fair rates and clean facility.
