The shop is very clean and everyone in the shop is so friendly. All my tattoos are done by Victor, and I LOVE all of them. He's really chill and I am very comfortable with him. If I am stuck on a tattoo he puts his ideas out and I always love whatever he comes up with. Whenever he is doing my tattoos he will ask if I'm okay or if I need any breaks. Here are all of my tattoos he has done for me. Read Less

What a great decision I made to get my helix piercing here. Jonathan is the piercer at this shop. He took the time to very clearly explain to me in detail what to expect with a cartilage piercing in terms of pain and aftercare. He was patient with me regarding placement and was just generally a very friendly person to chit chat with throughout the process. It's only been a couple weeks but so far, so good. I love my piercing so much I already want more. If I decide to get more, this shop will be my go-to. Read Less

I went in last week to get my very first tattoo done by Victor. I had been thinking about getting my dogs portrait done for a long time and I worked up the courage to finally do it. He did such an amazing job and he made me feel so comfortable. He explained everything he was going to do and made sure I was doing ok throughout the process. I will definitely go back to get another tattoo by him and will recommend him to anyone who is thinking of getting a tattoo. He's awesome! Read Less

I had a piece in mind for a few years and recently really began coming up with something more concrete. My daughter recommended a shop in Walnut but I didn't feel like driving there, so I hit Yelp to check out another place near my house.  In checking reviews, I came across ADTS and began reading.  The reviews were off the chart. I dropped by the shop early this afternoon and chatted with Manny about my idea, a fairly simple design, and he asked if I wanted to do it today. I said if someone was available, sure.  He said to come in around 6.  I arrived around 5:45 and Manny greeted me as he was finishing up his previous client. He gave me some positive feedback on my design, offered his thoughts, and in a short time he came up with a design that reflected exactly what I wanted and his experienced suggestions.  We decided to go larger, and then I was in the chair.  It isn't my first piece so I knew what to expect.  We had a great time chatting, and less than an hour later I was done.  It's perfect. It's exactly what I had in my head, now on my forearm.  I have a few other designs in mind and I won't hesitate to come here for them, or suggest it to others. The shop is clean, parking is good and it's conveniently located. Staff is beyond friendly. Reasonably priced too.  Like the sign says in their shop, "good tattoos aren't cheap, cheap tattoos aren't good." Read Less

Got this done a few days ago, have been wanting to do this piece for yrs. and finally got it done. We walked in to get work done on my husband but, I ended up getting one done (no worries he has an appt coming up) My artist was Manny, he did an excellent job. I am soooo happy with this tattoo it's only my 2nd one but, now I am now thinking of my 3rd. I will definitely come back to this place and get work done by Manny, he made me feel so comfortable and took his time to place it perfectly on my foot. The pain was there but, not unbearable it's healing nicely. This place was so clean and every one there was friendly, funny and professional. I was surprised to learn how much they all love Disney, like I do.... Thanks Manny Super Happy Client.... Read Less

This review is after 4 visits and 2 tattoos here. TLDR: great artists, not crazy wait times, and very clean. About me: 34yo, 10 tattoos.What stands out to me is my first visit, even as a commission based business, I was directed to the tattoo artist that would best fit my needs. When I came in I had an idea about what I wanted. In talking to the artist who just happened to be there he instantly got me and said "Manny would be great for this". I know that it meant he would not earn money on my tattoo. He had me go to the right artist for the job. Instantly I felt that he cared more about my tattoo than just another job. After I got in contact with Manny we talked about my ideas and I left a deposit so he could start work on my tattoo. When I returned he showed me his sketch and we made some final touches. The whole process made me feel at ease. I felt valued. We worked for a few hours and called it a day. He gave me some professional tips and advice on how to care for my tattoo and set the next appointment. The rest was easy. He finished my tattoo and I even had him do another small one on my finger. The vibe of the shop is super chill and keeps me coming back. I'm already making plans on my next project. Read Less

I first came here and got my Medusa piercing in 2017. Jonathan did it and he was super cool and professional. He thoroughly explained what was going to happen and what  to expect in terms of swelling, aftercare, etc. After like 8 months I took out my Medusa (well i lost the top to my jewelry) and 3 months later here we are. I went in yesterday wanting to get my Medusa repierced and of course I went back to Johnathan. When I came in he was super cool and professional. He explained to me that the hole might still be open in that case, we'd just have to nudge it open so jewelry can fit and explained that I wouldn't have to pay for the whole new piercing. Unfortunately the hole closed and we had to get it repierced but I brought my own jewelry so he cut the price. It's my second day back with my Medusa and I love it! He was extremely accurate in telling me that the healing process would be a lot easier this time around and it definitely is! I came in with my friend and she was really impressed too. Johnathan is good at what he does and knows what he's doing. Definitely recommend and I'll be coming back for future piercings !!! Remember to tip your piercers/tattoo artists!! Read Less

Just got my septum pierced and I am so happy that I went to Jonathan. Prior to coming in the shop, I called to ask multiple places about their jewelry material and pricing. Other places are cheaper BUT they also use crappy "surgical" steel material, which legit piercers stay the hell away from. My septum was $60 cash ($65 if you pay by card) and pierced with implant grade titanium, which is one of the only metals recommended by professionals safe enough to be put in your body. It is hypoallergenic and lightweight. Additionally, all of their jewelry are internally threaded--the part you "screw into" is inside the bars and NOT the ball--so that it is less likely for the balls to fall out. Also, when you change the jewelry, the threading would not irritate your piercing with the jaggedness. This is another piece of evidence for me that Jonathan really knows what he is doing. It is so important to do your own research and not cheap out on body mods!Onto the piercing process, Jonathan explained every step of what he does so nothing caught me by surprise. Even the pain was just quick and personally, a 3/10. The placement of my piercing is right through the sweet spot (where it should be) and symmetrical (although Jonathan explained that it might not be for everyone because we are all asymmetrical). He made me feel comfortable and just seems like a laid-back, professional guy. He also patiently listened to my concerns about how snug I wanted my septum to look. My boyfriend got his lobe pierced after me and Jonathan made sure to sterilize the piercing seat and also explained the step-by-step process to him. For his jewelry, they used a labret (lip piercing) jewelry that has a flat back so that it would not irritate the skin behind the ear. His single lobe piercing was $50 cash and also internally threaded, implant grade titanium. Overall, my experience is everything I wanted for my first facial piercing. I would definitely come here again for another piercing and so would my boyfriend. Thank you Jonathan! Read Less

Great tattoo shop. I've been to a couple back in the LA area and this one by far was the most professional, friendly, and highest quality. Mike did my tattoo and he is a beast. Also prices are extremely fair! If you're looking to get your first tattoo or one of your firsts make sure to come here because in no way will they try to overcharge you or make the process intimidating in anyway. I've been to a couple places where they are clearly over charging because they know the customer doesn't know better, but here the process is professional from the start to the end. I will definitely be back for more. Thanks Mike!!! Read Less

I've been wanting to get my ear pierced for the longest time so I finally made the impulsive decision to get it done last night. I was not disappointed at all! Getting my ear pierced with Johnathan was the best decision! He was very professional and you can tell he definitely knows what he's doing. It was my first time piercing my Tragus and helix so I was super nervous but he was very reassuring of what to expect so that helped a lot with the nerves. He's  super clean and makes sure you are aware of what's going on every step of the way. He also writes down all your piercing information and how to take care of your piercings while they're healing. Very detailed and answers all your questions. Definitely will go again and will recommend to everyone who wants to get some piercings!! Read Less

ALL of the artists are super nice and friendly too. I had Manny! He drew up my tattoo and took his time making sure the placement and details were perfect. It took 45 minutes to tattoo. This was my first tattoo and has a very special meaning to me, and I couldn't have chosen a better place to get it at. I'm extremely happy with my tattoo. It came out better than I imagined!

I've come to American Dream tattoo to get the Daith piercing (for migraines and it worked for me) and the tragus piercing and pierced again because I lost my earring the first time lol Johnathan is awesome! The environment is very clean and welcoming. Johnathan is professional and all about sanitizing so you won't have to worry about getting an infection or having to get a part of your body amputated lol he walks you through the whole process of before, during and after getting the piercing, which is reassuring if you're nervous. I will mention again that he is very clean and sanitizes everything, which is very comforting for me since I'm kind of a germophobe. All my piercings have healed pretty quickly and without any problems. I had to go back a few weeks ago to replace my earrings with plastic ones because I needed to get a medical exam that required me to remove all my earrings. John was super cool about it and replaced my earrings with temporary plastic ones, which they sell there, and even put my earrings in a little plastic bag for safe keeping. I returned a few days later to put the originals back in. John sanitized the original earrings again and put them back on without a problem. John is awesome! If you're looking for a legit, clean place with a cool vibe to get a piercing this is the place to go. I will definitely be coming back soon to get the Rook piercing :) Read Less

No, really... he's witty, intelligent and most importantly a serious artist who's work reflects the shop's ethos: to deliver the type of work that speaks for itself without a lot of fanfare.

I got my septum pierced by Jonathan a few months ago and he made me feel very comfortable and was very thorough with knowledge about my piercing. Yesterday I got 2 tattoos (one was a retouch to fix what another artist did a while back, one new one) by David and I had another great experience. I felt very at home and had an awesome conversation with everyone. These guys know what they're doing! Would highly recommend to anyone, especially someone getting their first piercing or tattoo.

I went there recently to redo a ear piercing because my  previous ones had closed due to the fact that I have not worn earrings since along time ago.For piercings, it is a walk in first come first serve basis.  If your planning to do a piercing please call them ahead of time as the person who did the piercing (Jonathan) might not be there during the time you planned to come.  Also, bring your ID or your guardian as you need consent to do it.When I walked in, I met Jonathan right away across the counter.  He was very friendly and made sure I had all our questions answered before moving forward.  I filled out a form and waited about 15 mins because someone else was there right before me.  I was walked into his piercing room and it was clean.  He walked me through the process.  While preparing, he showed me everything on the tray.  Everything is single use and opened from a new package.  After the piercing, he explained very clearly the after care details and answered again anymore questions I had.  He was very professional and I was walked out as a happy customer.

This review is a little late but I still want to share my experience.I called in to try to get a quote first over the phone. Sammy picked up and had such a friendly voice. As I was explaining what I wanted and he was very helpful in giving me his insights.I came in about an hour later and we discussed a little about my piece and although it was a pretty big piece(definitely not a regular walk-in type) he told me to come back the following day and he'd have something ready for me.I came in the following day, was very happy with what he came up with and went ahead with the session. It took about 2 and a half hours if I remember correctly and he was just so easy going and pleasant throughout the whole session.Overall, this place has honest prices, talented and genuine artist and just a good energy. I highly recommend it and I will definitely be back! Read Less

After searching around for a place to get pierced I came across American Dream Tattoo Studio. Upon reading all the positive feedback given to Jonathan and the shop itself I decided to message the shop here on yelp. To my surprise they replied really quick and I was given instructions to call Jonathan directly. I then called the shop and spoke to Jonathan directly who was very nice and friendly I instantly felt conferrable. I came in today and met with Jonathan and he was amazing, very knowledgeable about everything he was using, and professional the process only took 15 minutes! The piercing itself only took like 10 seconds, but I love that they have a process before and after your piercing! Jonathan stood there with me the whole time and talked to me about after care for my piercing! I am completely happy and will definitely recommend Jonathan and the shop to my friends and family! I will be coming back in a few months to get my other piercing! Thank you Jonathan for all your help and answering all my questions. You are truly the best thank you once again!! Read Less

He is very professional and was thorough throughout the entire process. I had other piercings done before and he is definitely the most educated. I really appreciated how easy he is to talk too, as it made the process easier and fun. It was painless and the both of us were out fairly quickly. Parking was easy and all the other staff members we encountered were sweet as well. All prices were listed right in the front which was really convenient. Jonathan was extremely sweet and even gave my best friend all the info needed if he were to replace or lose his earring in the future, since he is from out of country. I will be coming back soon and I'm super happy with my piercing ^-^  Thank you so much for a great experience! Read Less

I got a conch piercing done a few weeks ago by Jonathan. He was really sweet and walked me through the whole process and the after care. Like a noob, I told him I wanted both ears pierced in one go but he advised me to get it done one at a time so that I can leave it alone and let it heal faster.He let take my time to relax since it was my first time I was getting a piercing. I have the standard lobe piercing from when I was a baby but that doesn't count lol. About a week ago, the front bulb of the earring came undone because of the circular motion I was doing while cleaning the wound. I took it back and Jonathan was very nice and put it back for me since its stem is pretty short.Overall, very pleasant experience for me. I'm definitely going back to get more done. Read Less

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 wouldn't 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.

I had a piece in mind for a few years and recently really began coming up with something more concrete. My daughter recommended a shop in Walnut but I didn't feel like driving there, so I hit Yelp to check out another place near my house.  In checking reviews, I came across ADTS and began reading.  The reviews were off the chart. I dropped by the shop early this afternoon and chatted with Manny about my idea, a fairly simple design, and he asked if I wanted to do it today. I said if someone was available, sure.  He said to come in around 6.  I arrived around 5:45 and Manny greeted me as he was finishing up his previous client. He gave me some positive feedback on my design, offered his thoughts, and in a short time he came up with a design that reflected exactly what I wanted and his experienced suggestions.  We decided to go larger, and then I was in the chair.  It isn't my first piece so I knew what to expect.  We had a great time chatting, and less than an hour later I was done.  It's perfect. It's exactly what I had in my head, now on my forearm.  I have a few other designs in mind and I won't hesitate to come here for them, or suggest it to others. The shop is clean, parking is good and it's conveniently located. Staff is beyond friendly. Reasonably priced too.  Like the sign says in their shop, "good tattoos aren't cheap, cheap tattoos aren't good." Read Less

This review is after 4 visits and 2 tattoos here. TLDR: great artists, not crazy wait times, and very clean. About me: 34yo, 10 tattoos.What stands out to me is my first visit, even as a commission based business, I was directed to the tattoo artist that would best fit my needs. When I came in I had an idea about what I wanted. In talking to the artist who just happened to be there he instantly got me and said "Manny would be great for this". I know that it meant he would not earn money on my tattoo. He had me go to the right artist for the job. Instantly I felt that he cared more about my tattoo than just another job. After I got in contact with Manny we talked about my ideas and I left a deposit so he could start work on my tattoo. When I returned he showed me his sketch and we made some final touches. The whole process made me feel at ease. I felt valued. We worked for a few hours and called it a day. He gave me some professional tips and advice on how to care for my tattoo and set the next appointment. The rest was easy. He finished my tattoo and I even had him do another small one on my finger. The vibe of the shop is super chill and keeps me coming back. I'm already making plans on my next project. Read Less

I first came here and got my Medusa piercing in 2017. Jonathan did it and he was super cool and professional. He thoroughly explained what was going to happen and what  to expect in terms of swelling, aftercare, etc. After like 8 months I took out my Medusa (well i lost the top to my jewelry) and 3 months later here we are. I went in yesterday wanting to get my Medusa repierced and of course I went back to Johnathan. When I came in he was super cool and professional. He explained to me that the hole might still be open in that case, we'd just have to nudge it open so jewelry can fit and explained that I wouldn't have to pay for the whole new piercing. Unfortunately the hole closed and we had to get it repierced but I brought my own jewelry so he cut the price. It's my second day back with my Medusa and I love it! He was extremely accurate in telling me that the healing process would be a lot easier this time around and it definitely is! I came in with my friend and she was really impressed too. Johnathan is good at what he does and knows what he's doing. Definitely recommend and I'll be coming back for future piercings !!! Remember to tip your piercers/tattoo artists!! Read Less

Just got my septum pierced and I am so happy that I went to Jonathan. Prior to coming in the shop, I called to ask multiple places about their jewelry material and pricing. Other places are cheaper BUT they also use crappy "surgical" steel material, which legit piercers stay the hell away from. My septum was $60 cash ($65 if you pay by card) and pierced with implant grade titanium, which is one of the only metals recommended by professionals safe enough to be put in your body. It is hypoallergenic and lightweight. Additionally, all of their jewelry are internally threaded--the part you "screw into" is inside the bars and NOT the ball--so that it is less likely for the balls to fall out. Also, when you change the jewelry, the threading would not irritate your piercing with the jaggedness. This is another piece of evidence for me that Jonathan really knows what he is doing. It is so important to do your own research and not cheap out on body mods!Onto the piercing process, Jonathan explained every step of what he does so nothing caught me by surprise. Even the pain was just quick and personally, a 3/10. The placement of my piercing is right through the sweet spot (where it should be) and symmetrical (although Jonathan explained that it might not be for everyone because we are all asymmetrical). He made me feel comfortable and just seems like a laid-back, professional guy. He also patiently listened to my concerns about how snug I wanted my septum to look. My boyfriend got his lobe pierced after me and Jonathan made sure to sterilize the piercing seat and also explained the step-by-step process to him. For his jewelry, they used a labret (lip piercing) jewelry that has a flat back so that it would not irritate the skin behind the ear. His single lobe piercing was $50 cash and also internally threaded, implant grade titanium. Overall, my experience is everything I wanted for my first facial piercing. I would definitely come here again for another piercing and so would my boyfriend. Thank you Jonathan! Read Less

Also prices are extremely fair!

I've come to American Dream tattoo to get the Daith piercing (for migraines and it worked for me) and the tragus piercing and pierced again because I lost my earring the first time lol Johnathan is awesome! The environment is very clean and welcoming. Johnathan is professional and all about sanitizing so you won't have to worry about getting an infection or having to get a part of your body amputated lol he walks you through the whole process of before, during and after getting the piercing, which is reassuring if you're nervous. I will mention again that he is very clean and sanitizes everything, which is very comforting for me since I'm kind of a germophobe. All my piercings have healed pretty quickly and without any problems. I had to go back a few weeks ago to replace my earrings with plastic ones because I needed to get a medical exam that required me to remove all my earrings. John was super cool about it and replaced my earrings with temporary plastic ones, which they sell there, and even put my earrings in a little plastic bag for safe keeping. I returned a few days later to put the originals back in. John sanitized the original earrings again and put them back on without a problem. John is awesome! If you're looking for a legit, clean place with a cool vibe to get a piercing this is the place to go. I will definitely be coming back soon to get the Rook piercing :) Read Less

Definitely recommend this place! And thank you to David for the amazing tatts and making my sister's trip from Japan even more memorable! Read Less

This review is a little late but I still want to share my experience.I called in to try to get a quote first over the phone. Sammy picked up and had such a friendly voice. As I was explaining what I wanted and he was very helpful in giving me his insights.I came in about an hour later and we discussed a little about my piece and although it was a pretty big piece(definitely not a regular walk-in type) he told me to come back the following day and he'd have something ready for me.I came in the following day, was very happy with what he came up with and went ahead with the session. It took about 2 and a half hours if I remember correctly and he was just so easy going and pleasant throughout the whole session.Overall, this place has honest prices, talented and genuine artist and just a good energy. I highly recommend it and I will definitely be back! Read Less

After searching around for a place to get pierced I came across American Dream Tattoo Studio. Upon reading all the positive feedback given to Jonathan and the shop itself I decided to message the shop here on yelp. To my surprise they replied really quick and I was given instructions to call Jonathan directly. I then called the shop and spoke to Jonathan directly who was very nice and friendly I instantly felt conferrable. I came in today and met with Jonathan and he was amazing, very knowledgeable about everything he was using, and professional the process only took 15 minutes! The piercing itself only took like 10 seconds, but I love that they have a process before and after your piercing! Jonathan stood there with me the whole time and talked to me about after care for my piercing! I am completely happy and will definitely recommend Jonathan and the shop to my friends and family! I will be coming back in a few months to get my other piercing! Thank you Jonathan for all your help and answering all my questions. You are truly the best thank you once again!! Read Less

My best friend and I decided to get spontaneous rook piercings together and stumbled upon this location. I definitely recommend coming here for any piercing because Jonathan was thee best! He is very professional and was thorough throughout the entire process. I had other piercings done before and he is definitely the most educated. I really appreciated how easy he is to talk too, as it made the process easier and fun. It was painless and the both of us were out fairly quickly. Parking was easy and all the other staff members we encountered were sweet as well. All prices were listed right in the front which was really convenient. Jonathan was extremely sweet and even gave my best friend all the info needed if he were to replace or lose his earring in the future, since he is from out of country. I will be coming back soon and I'm super happy with my piercing ^-^  Thank you so much for a great experience! Read Less

I had the pleasure of having Victor do my tattoo. I was referred by my uncle that has two sleeves done by him. Very honest, chill, up front about how the tattoo will be over time which is something I really appreciated as a lot of artists will just do something get paid and not care. I had him do my grandmas writing and it came out exactly how hers looks. I would definitely go back if I get another tattoo or will be referring everyone I know to him. Thanks so much Victor!

I got a conch piercing done a few weeks ago by Jonathan. He was really sweet and walked me through the whole process and the after care. Like a noob, I told him I wanted both ears pierced in one go but he advised me to get it done one at a time so that I can leave it alone and let it heal faster.He let take my time to relax since it was my first time I was getting a piercing. I have the standard lobe piercing from when I was a baby but that doesn't count lol. About a week ago, the front bulb of the earring came undone because of the circular motion I was doing while cleaning the wound. I took it back and Jonathan was very nice and put it back for me since its stem is pretty short.Overall, very pleasant experience for me. I'm definitely going back to get more done. Read Less

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 wouldn't 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. It's been 5 days and my ear is doing great! Read Less
