Hugo was super sweet! I didn't have the best experience getting my piercings done at Claire's as a kid which is why I wanted to redo them as an adult. Hugo fixed the placements of my piercings and was really easy to be around. He shared some interesting stories to keep me distracted during the process. He was super clean. The moment I walked in, he gave me alcohol for my hands and properly cleaned and prepped my ears with iodine, etc. He wore a mask and changed out his gloves multiple times and reminded me to not touch my ears and how to sleep haha. He also went over aftercare and told me to come back in 2 weeks to check on the healing process which I think is amazing. You can tell he loves his work and he cares about his clients. Im stoked that I can wear earrings again Def recommend read more

I highly recommend coming here for dermals as he is very experienced with piercing dermals. I am so glad I went here instead of another piercing shop. read more

Hugo is an amazing artist and he not only is able to handle any and all of the request I've thrown at him, he talks to me about ways to improve my ideas and make them 100x better than what I was expecting. The end result is always something that people always notice and compliment. The shop is very inviting and I always feel welcome whenever I walk through the door. I recommend Hugo and his crew to everyone I know. read more

Compare the tattoos lol I got the lame high robbery dinosaur tattoo here at this lame place and they charged me $120 for it lmao. I WOULD NOT RECOMMENDED COMING HERE People that work there are just horrible and will rob you for your money. I got an anime tattoo from an actual professional tattoo shop and only got charged $160 for it which is a GREAT TATTOO AND A GOOD PRICE FOR THE DESIGN I'll gladly share the name of the tattoo place where I got my amazing deku anime tattoo. 10x better than this lame Dr tattoo place read more

The man with the dog rushed me and kept telling me he had an appointment because he kept marking my nose piercing uneven and all I wanted was for it to be even. He told me I was being too picky and MADE ME MARK MY OWN SELF even tho I am not a professional. He made my friend uncomfortable and kept insisting that he would pierce my friends nipples for free even though she never asked for any piercings. She was very uncomfortable and kept denying the offer. He asked at least 5 times even though no one asked for any nipple piercings. Definitely don't recommend if you are looking for something nice and comfortable. read more

Dr Tattoo Studio - Moth tattoo - Piercing Near Me - Garden Grove, California

I was in on Friday the 13th got an amazing tattoo from Raul...wonderful experience.. My tattoo came out better then my friends that came along. The 2 stars is only for my tattoo artist. I'm highly disappointed in the manager Hugo. I went in today with the intention to spend alot of money to get my half sleeve started. When I came in he proceeded to tell me he didn't have communication with my artist and that he'd be in over the weekend. Keep in mind my original appt. was the Friday before that was cancelled and rescedualed for today. I keep trying to tell him this. Pretty much to be turned away...I was so angry, but we shook hands and that was that...he apologized. Too much run around... Unprofessional... I didnt want too but I took my money to another shop. Hopefully they fix their inner shop Boy drama read more

I know these guys have been around and successful for awhile now...but my only experience was from the San Mateo Body Art Expo. I got a great piercing experience from Hugo, but what he tried to sell me afterward was absolutely ridiculous. The piercing was 50 for my medusa, which was alright. But after, i asked for a after-care cleaner...and he sold me a spray bottle of cleaner for $25. I said wow thats a lot...and he said no worries, piercing for 50 and cleaner for 10, leaving you a grand total of 60. Like he was cutting me some deal. I went home and read the bottle...water and sodium chloride!!!! A value of $25 for a bottle of salt fucking water. I thought i was getting a deal for $10!!! I could've made that myself at home bruv!!! Of course, i feel gullible, from not looking into stuff because of excitement lol. But i just feel like an artist that has been around for 20+ years shouldn't fucking swindle people for SALT WATER. read more

I highly recommend Dr. Tatoo Shop to anyone that is looking for a Tatoo. Both my female friends decided to get a Tatoo together and they got clean work. Hugo is super chill and his staff are also chill. They had my friends laughing while getting clean tattoos. They keep their stations cleaned, environment is awesome and great work. They are going back for the other tattoos. read more

Hugo is the absolute best!! He is a down to earth people person that knows what he is doing. I am so happy that I came to him, as this was my FIRST tattoo..

Dr Tattoo Studio - Thank you to Alt, Hugo and Ashley for this Friday 13th piece. I reccomend this shop 100000% they accommodate as much as they can you! - Piercing Near Me - Garden Grove, California

Came in today around 8:45pm and Hugo was the only one in the shop and greeted us very nicely. I came in to get a tongue piercing as a walk-in and didn't have to make an appointment. I will have to say that Hugo is hands down an AWESOME person and is very skilled with his piercings. He gave me a detailed information about piercings and numbed my tongue before doing the work. The shop is very clean and all the equipment is sanitized. Will definitely come back and recommend this place. read more

This place is a total SCAM!!! Absolutely terrible service and not to mention RACIST AS HELL!!!! My sister and I came in to get a piercing this guy took us in, and told us to fill out the paper and when we asked for his pricing he literally tripled his price and told us it was $75 for a single lobe piercing. I was shocked at how expensive it was and he went on to tell me that he'll give me a good deal and charge me only $100 for 2 piercings. He then directs me to his price list which says each lobe piercing is $25 and $15 for each additional piercing which comes out to $75. So I started asking him that what he's quoting us and what shows on his price list doesn't match. He then tells us.. maybe he's just tired and he needs to look at the list again. So we're waiting and then he literally says without looking at the list- can you come tomorrow? So confused we ask again.. why? I thought you said you'd do it today... and he says "no I'm tired" as he simultaneously accepts another person to do a tattoo. Idk how such a tired person that can't do a simple piercing can do a whole tattoo. So very annoyed I leave clearly feeling profiled and discriminated against, and come back to simply ask him for his name... and he tells me... his name is "Asshole" and to leave. He is a tatted Hispanic guy with piercing on his face with a mohawk! He's absolutely the WORST!!! Don't trust this guy to do anything for you! There are so many other places that can earn your business!! read more

Amazing people who produce amazing results! I came here around 10PM to get my septum pierced on a Friday night. There was another group of people also waiting to get piercings, but the wait was no big deal. The staff were all super friendly and makes everyone feel welcomed. The music definitely keeps everyone pumped up and hyped for whatever they were planning to get. The procedure was super quick and as painless as a piercing can possibly be. The staff then proceeded to demonstrate proper cleaning to avoid infections and also how to flip up the piercing if needed. Thank you so much for the amazing work! read more

I came in around 3:30 and got started on my tattoo at 4:00. Jeff helped me and he was so very helpful. It was obvious how much he cares and has a passion for tattoos so I knew I was in good hands. He made me feel very comfortable and told me about how much he loves his job, which really put me at ease. I've been to places where I get my tattoo and leave and I haven't connected with the tattoo artist. I think it's important to connect with your tattoo artist cause he's in gonna be inking you and it's going to be permanent! I came in with a picture and he helped me with the sizes and then we got started right away. He was very quick and I was out of there in about an hour. I'm so happy with the results. Will come back here for my next tattoos :) read more

Best experience! Ask for Hugo He is the BEST!! Called ahead of time to get my septum pierced, and when I arrived He was WAITING for me and greeted me like Ive known him for years!! He gave my GREAT advise and a GREAT deal! (With jewelry and he hooked it up SICK!) The actual piercing I know hurt,(not for long) but ALL i can remember is the great time we had! (Pictures coming soon!) I was able to go to work right after (as a waitress) and I felt no pain during my shift! He made us feel so comfortable, my girlfriend randomly decided to get her belly button pierced just to be apart of the fun! (AND she is a the BIGGEST WUSS!)
