Mason was great at walking me through all the steps and making sure the size and placement of my tattoo was exactly what I wanted. It turned out perfect! Great customer service. Clean facility. Highly recommend!

I had a great experience getting tattooed at this shop. They responded right away to my message through their website and I was able to book a appt very quickly. Mason did such an amazing job! The idea I had and the image I sent him turned out totally how I imagined it. My experience felt like I was in a private studio rather than a busy shop, I like that. There is always some level of discomfort when getting tattooed but this was the most comfortable experience Ive ever had. I was very much used to the loud and painful machines used in traditional styles but this shop is using new school machines. The lines are finer, newer different styles are being done with these machines.

Went in with a friend for the friday the 13th flash sale and had a great experience for my first tattoo. We had spent days looking for a shop that had several options for flash tattoos that fit both of our styles and this place was it. Tattoo artist and apprentices were very efficient and maintained cleanliness. Tattoo artist also had a very light hand. Overall 10/10 experience.

Having an afternoon to kill while on vacation, my friends and I decided to drive along coast and see the Southern California sights. We had the impromptu idea to get tattoos. We contacted Inky Dreams and asked could they accommodate last second appointments and Mason came thru!! He is an amazing artist that created our four ideas perfectly. I wish I didnt live across the country because I def. Want more ink by him. Truly amazing and we all couldnt be happier!!

Sophia, wow, such a great artist, I actually forgot I was getting tattooed while she was working on me. Just the most gentle touch while inking you. Fantastic line work and attention to detail. She is doing a sleeve on me but I decided to stop on for the Friday 13th special . And was impressed with the outcome.

My artist Mason was amazing . He did a great job. My session lasted about seven hours, but it didn’t feel like that . The whole staff there is friendly and welcoming. I would definitely recommend this tattoo shop to anyone who’s looking for a tattoo.

Ok ok sorry this is like a year later but i must say Mason has gentle hands! he did my first tattoo which is by my ankle bone and it was overall painless! then i came back a year or so later for a touch up on my vegas tattoo, which i was dissatisfied when i first got it because it started flaking and most of the ink was already fading! (i couldn’t believe it either) so i asked mason if he could fix it and sure enough he fixed it and i fell in love with it all over again! i definitely do plan on coming back again in the future!

I initially found Inky Dreams when I was looking at the Instagrams of neighborhood shops and saw their work was excellent. That was some months ago and Ive now been inked by both Sophia and Mason. Both are skilled artists, friendly and super professional. Highly recommended!

Review №11

Sofi is amazing. It took me a long time to find someone to do this piece. After I came across her page and see how amazing she is especially with color I knew I had to make an appointment. Making my appointment was easy and once I came in I felt welcomed and she was already ready for me. She had better ideas then what I had given her and I cant be more grateful. The tattoo looks amazing and she stayed patient with me the whole way. Cant wait to work with them for my next piece. Thank you so much guys!

Review №16

It was my first tattoo and I had a simple design but Mason really took his time. Once the transfer was on, he even had me stand and look at the placement from different angles in the mirror. I was impressed with how he gave my simple tat the same care and attention he would give an intricate and complicated design. Highly recommended!

Best tattoo experience ever. Sofia was able to use drawings my kids made and personalized them into beautiful tattoos! She was extremely friendly and I was super happy with her work! I highly recommend her!

Review №19

I was looking for a local tattoo artist when I moved down here last year, and am so glad that I found my way to Inky Dreams (very soon after they first opened). I have 3 tattoos done by Mason (plus another work in progress). I love how all of the pieces turned out, and I always felt comfortable and well taken care of during sessions. He and his wife Sofi are both so talented and kind, and their studio has a very cool gallery wall with their artwork for sale! I’ve recommended this shop to quite a few people. Always happy to support a local, family-owned business!

Review №20

I don’t think I could have asked for a better experience than I had with Mason and Inky Dreams for my first tattoo. I just wanted a flash piece to get my feet wet but probably one of the more detailed flash pieces you could get. Mason is extremely talented with his line work and perfectionism. I may not know too much about tattoos but I know when a tattoo looks bad/good and he knocked it out of the park! I am so happy with how it came out and the environment of this shop. (I shopped around at a few first) I will definitely be coming back for more! Maybe my sleeve?! ;)

Review №21

Loved this place!! I only had an idea of what I wanted so I sent in a few pictures to see if they can create something from that. Once I got there, Sofia captured exactly what I wanted. She has a great artistic eye: The size I estimated it for was a bit small for the placement, it wouldve looked a bit off. So she kindly redrew it and it looked perfect afterwards. It was a bit of a long session, roughly 5 hours, and she was great! Periodically asking if I needed to take a break. The place was also very clean and hygienic, so I felt safe and comfortable. I am for sure going back for my next tattoo.

Review №22

This was only my second time getting a tattoo (first time at this place) and I was nervous. But my nerves went away quickly as I was talking to my artist (Sofia). She was super nice and very relatable. The place was very clean and reliable. Although my tattoos are small and minimal, she took the time to make sure the lines were neat and touched up wherever she needed. Sofia hyped up my little stars tattoo and said it was so cute and dainty (exactly what I was hoping for). I never once felt judged by my choices as I’m not exactly the type of person you would normally see in a tattoo studio. Highly recommend and will be coming back in the future!

My experience was very good! Sofia welcomed me and helped me right away.I told her what I wanted and she got to sketching right away while I filled out the requirements. I love my new tattoo! It didn’t hurt at all:)thank u so much

Review №24

I’ve been going to Mason for some time now for my tattoos. Every single one he has done is amazing. Now, he has his own shop that is clean, comfortable, and trendy. I went there asking him to add more around my existing forearm tattoos that were done by other artists to make one cohesive piece. Not only was he willing to work/add to it, he was very open and helpful in creating a piece that I loved. His work is incredible and I will continue to go to him for all my future tattoos. The other owner Sofia was there and she was also very nice and knowledgeable. I’m so happy to have found an artist I am comfortable with and that creates stunning tattoos! Make an appointment, you wont regret it.

Review №25

Please come here! This shop was amazing! I was kinda scared and nervous to get my first tattoo but Mason was soooo patient and he really knows what hes doing ... he immediately started sketching something up to show me if it matched with my idea. Im honestly so happy with it I cant stop looking at it 😭 Its a cute shop as well and hes VERY sanitary... I went with my friend who was also getting tattoed and he made sure to keep everything clean and tidy! I will definitely come back for many years to come ♡

I will always look for ways to support small businesses and this one is an absolutely AMAZING find! Inky Dreams is owned by a husband and wife and they’re both extremely kind and talented. I’ve been tatted by both of them now and every time they’ve done amazing work.10/10 recommend and I will always be returning.

Review №28

This is an unbelievably great tattoo establishment. I am fortunate I found it! My tattoo artist was Sofia. I cant say enough good things about her. She took her time learning exactly what I wanted and made suggestions that made my tattoo even better than I expected.Inky Dreams is open, lots of natural light, clean, with beautiful art hanging on the walls, several by Sofia herself.My son and I were extremely impressed with everything. He shared that when he gets his next tattoo it will be with Sofia.Before I left they handed me an aftercare packet so that my new tattoo stays safe and beautiful. Also, she covered my tattoo with second skin to protect it for 24 hours.I cant say enough about this place. Any future tattoo will be done at Inky Dreams and with Sofia!Rossana

Review №32

I randomly walked in to Inky Dreams Tattoo after work one day. The service was ideal. My artist patiently worked with the idea I had. His studio was clean and I felt welcomed. His hand was gentle and accurate. Ive gotten tattoos at several places in Long Beach but the price and overall experience is definitely going to bring me back.

Awesome experience!!! Mason was very helpful and patient when communicating with me thought text. The price was decent! And the work was amazing!!

Parking was easy at 11am on a Tuesday, found a spot right in front.Will definitely be back for ink in the future!

Review №37

My friend and I had been wanting to get some flash tattoos together for a while now so we reached out to Inky Dreams when she was in town. We are both very happy with our choice and experience with them!It was my first tattoo, besides a stick and poke a friend did on my foot, so I was a little nervous since I did not know what to expect. Sofia was very patient with me and made me feel comfortable. We went with a little skull behind my ear and she was right about it being way less painful than what I got on my foot. I did not feel any pain at all, she has a great hand, and it is healing super well!Now that I got those first timer nerves out of me and know I can sit well for her I am going to reach out to work with her on a custom piece.

Have been following only dreams and Sofia for a bit on Instagram. Found her rose work absolutely gorgeous! after scheduling an appointment with her for rose and barbed wire work a few weeks from my first visit I decided to get something smaller with a friend. Found this fun mushroom and crystals flash tattoo and fell in love. My first flash and Im so stoked about it! Next up, my rose and barbed wire tattoo that she designed after my ideas to go along with a scar that Ive had since I was a kid. Thank you for bringing ny decades old idea to life Sofia! Certainly will be back for more.

I was there this past weekend my 2nd time getting work done with Mason , both experiences have been extremely pleasant! Him and Sophia have been nothing less than polite and very welcoming once you enter their shop they make you feel very comfortable thru the whole experience. Of course their work is amazing and pricing too. Decor at the shop is something less not your usual tattoo shop which is even more of plus to book your appointment with them!!🙌👏🙌👏🙌.

Review №41

10/10 Shop. Walk ins are welcome which is a super plus. I was helped by Mason he was very patient and kind when it came to me changing my mind about fonts and sizes. Pain for this tattoo was a 2/10 I truly believe he has a light hand which is very important when youre afraid and certain placements of tattoos or tattoos in general. Overall good experience, I cant wait to go back

I came in as a walk in a couple weeks ago and I immediately fell in love. Sofi tattoo’d my new fav piece on my chest and I’m obsessed. Came in a week later and now I’m obsessed with a new piece she designed for me. I love that her and her hubby, Mason, work so well together to achieve beautiful art. Love the vibe and atmosphere in the shop and it’s always a pleasure. I’ve already referred friends and fam to them! 10/10 recommend.

SO BEYOND AMAZING, would give more stars if i could. i called just over 2 hrs before closing, asked about walk in and guest policies, said they could accommodate both and to come on in. mason absolutely NAILED my vision, absolutely everything from the experience to the placement to the design was beyond excellent. i camein 2 hours before closing with two guests and he did not mind at all. not to mention, the environment was fantastic, mason was so kind and made the experience very easy, and the tattoo was completely painless. literally could not recommend this place more. this was my first tattoo experience and i plan on it being my next few as well.

My experiences working with Sofia and Mason have been phenomenal. Their shop is clean, professional, and creative. Sofia help create custom back price and we are now beginning a custom check price. Collaborating with her is easy and my original idea is bested after our collab. I drive a good distance from Perris Ca. to Long Beach and it is 100% worth it. I highly recommend Sofia and Mason for creative and clean body art.

Review №53

I got my tattoo brought back to life by Sofi. The tattoo I had was faded and dark and the flowers were looking rather sad. Sofi was Very helpful from the beginning to the end. Responded quickly to my inquiry and answered my questions and bounded off ideas to figure out exactly what I would like done. At the appointment, she went over colors and final design options with me. I felt she gave me input and took some creative liberty to perfect the tattoo as I trusted her judgment. My flowers were so sad before she worked her magic and now Im so happy with the tattoo again.

If i could give it 6 stars i would. i came here for my first tattoo with an original concept but wasn’t confident in it and they were patient enough with me to help me figure out another AND come up with their own. my artist even compromised with my price due to a financial difficulty which was already a green flag. he was so patient and nice and i will most definitely be back for more♥️!

Ive had tattoos since the 80s. Ive even thought some of them were good. Wow, was I wrong. They look cartoonish at best next to Sofis art work.Ive had two tattoos plus microbladed eyebrows and permanent lip color. She is the best. I cant say enough what a great artist she is. The last one (in the pic) is a cover up (the roses above morning glories is old)Her hub is a pretty amazing artist as well! Follow them on Instagram:@alectronatattoos@tattoosoloist@inkydreamstattoo
