If I could give zero stars, I would. There were many red flags that I wish I would have noticed prior to getting pierced as I would have not have gone through with it. First, they do not accept cards, which is weird for a tattoo place. All I was getting done was a second and third piercing on my earlobes and the piercer could not get the marks even on my ears, so he called over the tattoo artist to help. When he actually went to pierce it, he didn't do one of the piercings where he had originally marked it. So now I have to take out that earring, let it close up, and get it repierced by someone who knows what they're doing. Also, on one of the piercings he messed it up the first time and had to repierce it which cause it to bleed a lot. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Read Less

Recently came in on July 5th and my wife and I got our tattoo's done by Jacobie. Apologies if I misspelled his name, but he was very patient, respectful, and took his time to make sure the work was to our liking and was more than willing to make any changes if needed. Very well priced, definitely will be back and have him do more work on me, highly recommended. Read Less

My daughter went here to get an earring switched out and came out crying because the fiercer person hurt her ear so bad and didn't even get the earring in. On top of that they still made. Her pay ten bucks. She put the new earring in herself on the second try Hours later after her ear quit hurtong from what they did. Im sure they didn't aim to hurt her but come on, I would've quit trying and if I couldn't do it, I wouldnt make someone pay me. Read Less

Want to give a big thanks to Brett, Hollywood and Odie for their hard work ( well actually Brett) but the rest of them keep it fun. They all made me feel comfortable. I will be back.!! Thanks guys!! ❤️yall Read Less

I took my daughter and her friends here today. My daughter wanted her belly button pierced (she’s 17) and her friend had her nose pierced. This shop was awesome and Hollywood was amazing! My daughter felt faint after the belly button piercing and he took great care of her, making sure she was okay before we left. The bad review is BS! No roaches and the place was spotless. No hookers or drug deals🙄. We will definitely be back for our Tattoos! Thanks for a great experience! Read Less

Was in town for vacation, walked in and they got me in really quick.. Bret did my tattoo and he did an awesome job.. Everyone in the shop was so nice.. I will be back to get more work done from them!!!! Read Less

Guys I highly recommend American Dragon Tattoo in Galveston. These dudes seriously crank it out! I'll post a picture of my new tattoo when I have time. Big shout out to Mike he did an amazing job on mine and Austins tattoos. I will definitely go back! Read Less

I have been a tattoo artist for about 14 years. The work I got was done by Mike and he did an amazing job. The staff was very friendly, the shop was clean and I would definitely go back. Thanks for the cool tat! Read Less

I recently got my first tattoo from Brett. He took away all anxiety and did such great work! He exceeded my expectations by a long shot. He is an amazing artist and I will be returning to him for my next tattoo. Read Less

My husband and I stopped into this shop and Mike hooked us up with some great quality work while we were on vacation. I highly recommend Mike. He knows his shit!! Mike is very light handed, I had scripture done on my upper thigh and literally did not feel a thing. Read Less

Awesome experience. My husband and I were walk in clients yesterday while we were on vacation in Galveston.Atmosphere in here is very relaxed. Brett was our artist yesterday. We are both pleased with our pieces and Brett was very light handed compared to some of the beatings I've received from other artists. It was a great experience and if we are ever around again we will return. Also, my husband lost his tattoo virginity on this visit.thanks to Brett I think my husband is addicted. So be warned. Also, the piercer that was there was a trip. Very entertaining Read Less

Brett did a great job on my first tattoo. It took over 4 hours. I got a beautiful Chihuahua with Angel wings. My husband got a new one of a KISS logo as well which took almost 4 hours. Brett made me feel so comfortable as I was nervous since it was my first. Hollywood Keith was awesome too. Thank you for a wonderful experience Read Less

This shop was awesome. I came in spur of the moment to get a cover-up tattoo and I couldn't be happier with not only the work of artist, Larry, but for their hospitality. Keith was so funny and very personable with me when I walked in and discussed design ideas and Larry executed it wonderfully. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in the area! Read Less

Went here on my anniversary weekend to get a tattoo, was not impressed at all. The place is in need of major update and better artists, the guy who did my very very small tattoo, wanted $80 for a tattoo that was maybe the size of a golf ball. I will never return here. I tried to look at some of their art work but all the pictures are either way to blurry or old from previous artist. The place was definitely not sanitary seeing as there was cockroaches crawling around on desks and work stations. This place needs to be gutted and remodeled with good scrubbing and bug spraying. The artist who did my tattoo was either purposely trying to give me a fucked up scared tattoo or was really heavy handed. (Brett) to be specific. This was one of the worst and dirtiest shops I have ever been to. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Read Less

Took our deposit then never showed upto do the tattoos. It was on our last day in Galveston and wanted a tattoo there. So we never got one. We keep getting put off with lame excuses. Stay away from there!! Read Less

I decided to stop in late one night and had the pleasure of being tattooed by a guest artist by the name of Camille. Sweet lady that has been doing this for a very long time. After 3 hours my new piece was done and I have to say it's amazing! Everyone in that shop is super cool and I would definitely get some more work done! Thanks guys!! Read Less

I just want to talk about a bad review on the piercer on here. Now I wrote some reviews about bad service at different places over the years, but I never waited a whole year to post a review I did it that day or within a few days, so the review on here by ( Nellie Buchanan ) is most like someone that is jealous of Hollywood so they want to try to blast his good name on google. In fact I want add that I been to this tattoo place in galveston and hollywood is such great piercer because he did a few piercing when I was getting my tattoo and all the ones I seen looked great, so to Nellie Buchanan stop hating on the man....

This place was great! We are visiting from Austin and was priced great for what I wanted. I mentioned Yelp and was granted the 10 percent off. Also, the guy that did my tattoo was also familiar with Austin and gave me an extra discount! I went in with an idea in mind but was not sure of placement of my tattoo and the guys help greatly. Everything was clean and sterile and had a great experience overall! Read Less

I had a tattoo done by Leopard Larry last night and could not be happier. The work is killer and Larry is awesome. He is a great guy to talk to and made everything about the process great. Already planning to get more work from him. If you want some killer work from a great guy I highly recommend you give him a shout. Read Less

Really really great place! Larry is GREAT, we had a family matching tat for 4 people and a tattoo done for my fiancé the next day. He squeezed us right on in. And the whole shop entertained us with the BEST conversations. When I come back I won't just be coming back for a tat but just to visit these great people Read Less

Came in here with some friends on a Tuesday night to randomly get tattoos. We're not from the island so we're not very familiar with any local tattoo shops so we used Yelp to check some venues out. At 10:30pm, we found that this shop was the only one open and went for it.Best decision ever. The staff is friendly, helpful, and their work is freaking dope. The place is clean and you can also get piercings there as well!! One thing I'll note is that it's cash only! Big shout outs to Enoki, who is the chillest tattoo artist ever and made the experience smooth!!! She's amazing. Would highly recommend! Read Less

Just sharing my experience. I have a small heart shaped blood blister on my right pinky finger. I went in to see how much it would cost to just have a heart tattooed on top of it. The guy suggested I not do it. He said "just wait until it heals" I said .....um it's been there over 25 years now. He said "yeah just wait until it heals" I said..... It's not gonna change. It's been there over 25 years. He goes. "I could get a saw and cut it off". I walked out. #weird Read Less
