Dream City Tattoos

I come here for @kalmtattoos, he’s AMAZING and does you right every single time with great attention to detail, you never feel rushed or pressured when picking out your design and getting it just right. I have a few pieces done by him and they all heal beautifully. Overall, the shop has a great environment, all the staff is super friendly and they love checking in on eachother. I also had some work done by Tito (i believe) during a flash event they held that was well organized and super fun! Also healed beautifully!!

David is one of the best artists I’ve ever worked with! I can bring any idea to him and he will go above and beyond with it. The location itself is clean, comfy and accommodating, and the artists are really lively. You can tell they really care about the work they do. highly recommend!

Luis Flores did my nose piercing I started having issues with it lots of irritation. I’m aware there’s a healing process to this and I’ve been doing the right aftercare. I’ve had it for a little over a month. Went for a second opinion and had them check it out. Turns out it wasn’t pierced at the right angle and cheap jewelry was used. I also informed him I cannot use specific jewelry due to allergic reactions and that where he marked the piercing didn’t seem correct but he insisted it was at a good angle. It was also a bone stud so I cannot even take it out myself, extremely painful. I also noticed my nose was not disinfected prior to the piercing being done. To add on I went during a flash sale event where A LOT of clients came for a cheaper deal (I paid $20). I had to wait for over an hour. It seemed money hungry. He never went over any after care instructions etc barely even said a word actually. looking back it was highly unprofessional please do not waste your time and go to him. Definitely quantity of customers for money than quality care which is ridiculous. I’ve read other reviews and honestly don’t know why he’s still employed here, would give it zero stars if I could.

Had the best walk-in tattoo experience with David:)) He’s so professional and is truly a master of his craft. I loved my first tattoo done by him so much that I came back for 2 more🙏🏽He takes his time with you, does frequent check ins, and pours his heart into his work. Such a down to earth person. I could not recommend anyone better than David himself. @kalmtattoos on IG, check out some of his incredible work:)❤️‍🔥

Family owned & operated . Only place in The Chi that doesn’t try to make a quick buck. After my first tattoo at 18, I realized I love the culture, but my first artist was OG & tried to school me / run up the price because it was my first ink… by 20 I found Dream City as Artist Mars (Geo C.) was promoting his apprenticeship process deals. Geo Mars from one session I knew I only wanted his work to be forever inked on me! I’ve gotten simple designs for fun, custom designs to begin my left arm sleeve, and he did my first ‘RED ZONE’ on my sternum for a VERY reasonable price. I’ll add some pics of my work because words can’t do full justice
