Stopped in to BP for their $40 special on a whim and were amazed at the level of detail on a small piece. Trust me, we were skeptical of the price but figured it was worth a try. It definitely was and more. We will definitely be back.
My new go to place for piercings and tattoos
100% recommend this place Cyim Rede did an amazing job !!
Awesome experience! I highly recommend this place
What an amazing experience from the very beginning to the very end I love the dog mascot amythst. Mike worked with me and I got my wedding ring tattoo and a frog for my wife. Best tattoo place in San antonio
I really enjoyed my experience here. BIG did my cover up tattoo and it was exactly what I wanted! He took his time and made the previous tattoo look invisible . Very welcoming staff and vibe of the entire shop overall. Will definitely be back!
Went in for a last minute tattoo while I’m in town for the animal care expo. Highly pleased! Great prices and Rede was AMAZING! Tattoo turned out great. I would recommend them to anyone!
I am so pleased with my tattoo after just the first session! BIG and the other artists in the shop are extremely friendly and attentive to the clients’ needs. The shop is clean and sanitary and I cannot wait to go back and have my piece finished!
I had an amazing experience at Pleasant Dreams Tattoo. I will definitely be going back. Mike was fantastic - he took the time to listen to what I wanted, I showed him a picture, and he immediately started sketching it out. It only took him 30 minutes to complete the sketch, and then I was in the chair within 15 more minutes. Mike was considerate of the pain and checked in with me to see if I want... More

I recently had an amazing experience at Pleasant Dreams Tattoo. The vibes were great, staff were extremely friendly, and the place was spotless. “Big” took the time to understand exactly what I wanted and made sure I was happy before starting. Made me feel right at home! The customer service here is impeccable and the energy at the shop was all time. Couldn't be happier with the outcome!
My roommate and I came into town for spring break and impulsively decided to get tattoos at 10:30pm. We called Pleasant Dreams and B.I.G answered saying he could get us in. We drove over and Magic Mike drew up our butterflies and got us in and out in an hour. They were super patient and kind. We will definitely be back for some future tattoos.
Stopped in with a buddy for a spontaneous tattoo idea right before closing! The vibe of the shop itself is the best out of the dozens of shops that I’ve visited. Mike and Jaylynn were super friendly and accommodating. Jaylynn was so excited and eager to do my tattoo although it was super late. She did an awesome job despite a difficult location. If I get some more work done before I leave SATX, I... More

Absolutely love this tattoo shop. The atmosphere is fun, music is great and friendly tattoo artist. My tattoo artist Rede is cool, nice and very knowledgeable knows what he’s doing and when given an image of what you want he perfects it. I recommend this shop I couldn’t imagine going anywhere else go check them out.
This has been the best shop I have ever been to the staff were so welcoming and encouraging with my ideas on what I wanted to get not to mention the amazing playlist of music they have I highly recommend coming here for your next tat
Amazing service from everyone! artists Richard walked me through every step and made sure I was okay and comfortable the whole time. They treat everyone like family! Will be back soon !
Got my first tat here. Mike always hooks it up! They’re very knowledgeable if you have questions, you just have to ask them!
Came to Pleasant Dreams for a tattoo after multiple recommendations , I couldn’t imagine going anywhere else. Richard is a phenomenal artist and my idea become reality. All of the other artists are talented, and create a very welcoming environment . No matter what style your looking for, pleasant dreams gots you covered!
1 thing for sure and 2 things for certain this is a tattoo shop you can call home very respectful and friendly they listen to your concerns and make sure you are 100% satisfied with what you are getting. 🥰
Love my tattoo! Such an amazing environment, and everyone was nice and friendly.
My sister and I went 02/28/24 for a HANDFUL of tattoos (my shoulder was not done by them). I made an appointment with Mike in advance and was seen on time in a fast courteous manner. The tattoos were my sisters first and she loved it. Amazing artist skills and personality from all of the crew at this shop. We will definitely be back for ALL our future work. Rock on Mike!
Had a great session. Awesome people to talk to and very polite. Clean shop & all around amazing service. I’ll be coming back for my next session soon.
Great work, always great vibes
HANDS DOWN BEST SHOP & such a vibe. Kristina did a very detailed job and was extremely considerate of what I wanted/where I wanted it. All of the staff was friendly, accommodating, and encouraging. I would 10/10 come back!
I had pulled up at the smoke shop right next door to this place and I sent my daughter over to ask how much it would be to pierce a little girls’ ears before we went into the smoke shop .. I come out before she does and I noticed one of the guys from the tattoo spot who was sitting outside gave these 2 girls cards (who were also in the smoke shop .. who also came out before my daughter did) I gue...

I had pulled up at the smoke shop right next door to this place and I sent my daughter over to ask how much it would be to pierce a little girls’ ears before we went into the smoke shop .. I come out before she does and I noticed one of the guys from the tattoo spot who was sitting outside gave these 2 girls cards (who were also in the smoke shop .. who also came out before my daughter did) I guess for his work .. but when my daughter came out, he didn’t even move a muscle to try & get up to give HER a card too. Idk if it had to do with the fact that the girls were dressed skimpy or if he didn’t think my daughter was attractive enough or worthy of his business but me personally I WILL NOT be giving them my business. Tattoo/piercing shops are extremely biased & sexist especially if the shop is ran by men. If you care about GENUINE customer service, then I suggest y’all take your money elsewhere. Less
Been coming to Mike for over 10 years, he's that good !!!!!!!
Awesome Work ...
Went to get a tattoo rede was my artist ..... loved the experience.... will definitely be back again the vibe is so chill loved the environment over all 10/10 will definitely recommend 👌

Don't use ATM charged my bank extra
Best tatoo shop in SA rede is amazing at what he does always will go to him.
Clean, nice, good people. Very friendly and proficient.
I always see their big sign at 410 and 281. Needed some things added to an existing tattoo. Mike helped me out and helped me also see how faded the tattoo had gotten in 1.5 years. So what is a guy to do, but go back the next day and have him rework it for me. But even with that, the skill and knowledge from 20+ years Mike was able to make this look better than the original pin-up back in 1942. I ... More

So what is a guy to do, but go back the next day and have him rework it for me. But even with that, the skill and knowledge from 20+ years Mike was able to make this look better than the original pin-up back in 1942. I have gotten awesome feedback from my friends seeing it. I’m working on some pictures for Mike to look at and make up a new piece for me. Please check them out. Less

Rede did a great job, they took a walk in on Saturday night and it was a really good job for me and my friend. He's super friendly. Highly recommend 👌

Thank you to Richard for the sleeve tattoo! Everyone there was friendly and a great environment! Shop manager, Lindsay, was awesome and kept me up to date on updates and timing. Highly recommend to everyone in San Antonio or those who visit!

Had to keep going back a number of times tattoo artist did a no call no show on my appointment then to Only get a ok rose that is bleeding green and tried to charge me 800 for it and never completed my hole tattoo because I didn’t believe they had my best interest at heart so on to the next …..Pretty bad experience
I had B.I.G give me the tattoo I wanted and added some details I didn't realize I wanted. I will be back sooner or later for my next. Hopefully sooner.
I love this shop! Everyone is so friendly. So far I've been tatted by Mike and rede for their Friday the 13th specials and even went back a few times for more!
Decided to give this place a try and LOVED IT! Everyone was so friendly and outgoing. Lindsey their receptionist assisted me with all my questions and concerns. Brandy took amazingly good care of me. Loved her work! She was very outgoing, professional, and gave me exactly what i wanted. I would highly recommend her to friends and family. Will be coming back soon :) Thank you BRANDY!
BIG is the best! Thank you Richard for all your do.

If you're looking for a perfect piece with a professional artist, Richard is the guy! Got 3 tattoos done by him and I'm satisfied with all 3 of them. My wife also got a huge neck piece covered up by Richard, it doesn't even look like a cover up, professionalism at its finest. Keep up the great work!!
Professional work always satisfaction guaranteed.
