Best Tattoo Shops In San Jose

“I had a great experience at Eleventh Dimension. My tattoo isn’t done yet, but I’m looking forward to going back. The shop is clean and comfortable. Amber Joy was my artist and her work is amazing. She was conscious of my pain level and tried help alleviate it with a spray as much as she could. Can’t wait til the tattoo is done. It’s a cover up of a cover up that never looked good. After just the first session I am so happy. Photos are before and after the first session.“

“Introduced by a closed friend, had a great talk with the owner/artist about what I want, the process is great because he takes the time to listen and find the best option to fit in with the rest of the tattoo. The studio is so nice and clean, feels really comfortable for my first time being here. Looking forward to some bigger projects Davis, thanks you.“

“I got tattooed by Von. Her work is amazing, her style is very awesome too she's very patient, clean, & friendly I felt very comfortable during my tattoo session. She took great care of me & listens to exactly what you want! I will definitely come back here & highly recommend this shop to anyone even if it's your first tattoo ?

Cleanliness: Very clean & tidy studio!“

“Got my tattoo from Van and had an AMAZING experience! She is seriously so sweet and VERY talented! I loved every second of my time getting tattooed by her! The shop was also awesome! The vibe there was so welcoming and fun! It was nice to be able to joke around with the other artists and have a good time during my 6 hour session! 10/10 would recommend this shop! Especially Van bc she is AMAZING! Did I say that already?“

“I got my tattoo done with Loi, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! Loi did an incredible job, putting so much attention to detail and creativity into the design. The final result exceeded my expectations. Throughout the session, Loi made sure I was comfortable and checked in on me regularly, which I really appreciated.
The hospitality was top-notch, and the entire team of artists was so friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend Loi and the studio for anyone looking for amazing work and a great atmosphere!“

“This is the best shop in San Jose. If you are looking for quality work and amazing artists then come here asap. Special shout out to Matt for always making crazy ideas come to life.“

“First off, Dat is the realest guy I know next to my father. I mean, he opened shop at 6am for me on Labor Day on short notice. I was so picky at choosing my artist that I sat on this idea for about 20 years.

When I first walked into the shop, it was like a breathe of fresh air. Meticulously cleaned and tidy. He was super professional and when we got to know each other his bright and special personality stood out. The stories he shared along with the free game and knowledge actually saved me a visit to the big house.

I’m a strong believer that things that happen in our lives are meant to be. I’m forever grateful to Dat. I will be continuing my full body tattoo journey solely with Dat Nguyen.“

“I got a full arm piece thats was done by Nate. My boy recommended this shop to me and he also got tatted by Nate. 100% would recommend going to Nate if you were looking to get something. He communicated everything with me and made sure I was chilling throughout the whole process. His pricing is really reasonable and I am definitely going back to Nate to do a back piece.“

“Tony is innovative, and skilled. Tony has a unique ability to take his client's vision and transform it into something extraordinary! He’s gone above and beyond to bring mine to life. Tony always takes the time to perfect the drawing until it’s just right.

The entire process is collaborative, and I’ve been consistently impressed with the results. Tony also makes you feel comfortable and is respectful. If you’re looking for an artist who listens, is incredibly talented, and can turn your ideas into amazing artwork, I highly recommend Tony. You won’t be disappointed!

Remember my tattoos hold personal meaning to me and I am sure Tony can draw and create any piece of art that resonates with you.“

“Got my first tattoo ever with the help from Taylor and I'm very satisfied with my experience! I was a bit worried at first but Taylor's very friendly and walked me through the whole process from stencil placement to aftercare instructions. She took time to listen to what I want and quickly sketched up a design. Since I requested a small one, it only too one session to complete. The work station is clean and well-organized. It was less painful than I imagined and Taylor's very professional and gentle. Overall super happy with the result and glad to have chose Taylor to be my first tattoo artist!“

“Jose is absolutely awesome! Very flexible with time, honest about your choice of tattoo, and really good at estimating time! He did such a great job, I went back 3 days later and got another! Highly recommend… he’s got PASSION about his art.“

“Have had early all of my ink art done here. Tattoo John is amazing and has always been spot on. He has done more then 20 tats on me & It’s been 20+ years and I wouldn’t trust anybody other than John or Angel to put ink on me.
If you want the best tattoo without paying ridiculous prices, having to have consultations and wait weeks for an appointment… this is THE SPOT! ??“

“All the artists are exceptional. A wide mix of talent for the style or content you’re looking for.“

“Lalo is a very talented artist with amazing attention to detail. I got a portrait of my grandmother on my upper arm, and he took his time to make sure I was good with the size and placement. The end product is perfect and I wouldn't change a thing. It looks just like the photo I gave Lalo, and it's beautiful. I live in MN but I came to CA just to get my tattoo done by Lalo and I plan to come back for future tattoos as well. I highly recommend working with him!“

“Stephanie is an outstanding artist and technician. She let me know exactly what was going to happen to get an eyeliner tattoo, what to expect, and when to expect it. She is thoughtful and meticulous, and a pleasure to be with. Complete faith and confidence in her work.“

She's truly amazing with a gentle hand & clean atmosphere making it so comfortable. I love the shows she puts on tv as I'm getting my tattoos to occupy my mind off a little discomfort but definitely worth it! She listens carefully to what I requested & her design is exactly what I want. Thank you Mary!“

“MH Brows by Han is awesome. Han spends a lot of time discussing what brow shape and color would look the most complimentary for your face shape and age. Her studio is clean and convenient. Her hygienic technique is flawless and she takes her time to ensure perfection. Highly recommended.“
