“Got my first tattoo with Kenny, and he was great from start to finish. He’s extremely welcoming, responsive, and attentive to detail. He explained the entire tattoo process clearly and made me feel comfortable and confident the whole time. You can tell he has years of experience under his belt. I’ll 100% be going back for any future tattoos. Thank you, Kenny, for putting so much care into the experience.“

“Absolutely amazing people!! I went in for a walk-in after emailing with them about my first tattoo, they were all super nice and helpful. I was very nervous for my first tattoo since it was just a simple design but Sam and Angelica were so helpful and kind. Angelica is a great artist and she’s honestly a vibe, talked with me through my entire tattoo, plenty of support and check ins, made me feel super safe. Definitely a wonderful first tattoo experience!!!“

“Sam was awesome I really recommend him !!!! Chill guy and good work first time at this shop and I will be back for more work !!!!.“

“Had to update my last review from 8 years ago. I came back today to get another Amazing piece by Daniel. He has been tattooing me for the past 10 years!!! He never disappoints, amazing artist!! Come to him if you want amazing work!!“

“I had my first neck tattoo with Tyler, and I honestly can't thank him enough. Il ove the art piece he did on my neck. The guy takes pride in his work. Tyler will work with you to make sure you're happy with the design & placement plenty of times before he begins. He's a really kind-hearted person. I highly recommend him.“

“got my septum pierced, dude gave me tissue when I couldn't stop sneezing AND gave me apple juice, 10/10“

“I'm all about supporting local, homegrown businesses and if you've worked in customer service like I have, you know not every experience will be perfect. Small businesses can't please everyone, but that doesn't mean they don't care. Tattoos are timeless pieces of art, quality should be expected, not questioned. Davis is a one-man show, so if you're expecting instant replies, just know he values your time. He's no-nonsense, but that comes with decades of experience and originality that's hard to find these days. That's why I chose him for my first tattoo--a full sleeve. I'll be going back this week for my third session, and it's been nothing but a great experience. I'll post a pic once it's finished, but if you're on the fence, give him a shot.“

“Chato is great, you give him an idea and he makes it happen!!! I have been his customer for 10+years. I highly recommend him.“

“Da Wei is not only the best tattoo artist, he's a very nice guy. I have given Da Wei a photo or drawing that I want to use for the tattoo, and I always tell him to add whatever he thinks would improve it. Lily is great, super nice and very helpful. You will love Da Wei's work!“

“Advance us a kind and talented artist. He gas done 2 tattos for me and is working on designing another one.“

“I had an amazing experience at Floating House Tattoo in San Jose. I was looking for a very detailed Buddha tattoo on my arm, and after visiting three different artists, I finally found Paisa—and I’m so glad I did. He absolutely nailed every detail—the hair, eyes, folds, everything. It wasn’t just ink—it was art with meaning.I had already spoken to three other artists, but when I met Paisa, I knew I found the right one. He approached the art with precision, care, and respect for the spiritual meaning behind it.

The shop is super clean, welcoming, and professional. If you’re looking for custom, spiritual, or detailed black-and-gray tattoos, this is the place. Highly recommend Paisa for meaningful work done right.

⭐ Highly recommend Floating House Tattoo for:
• Spiritual & symbolic tattoos
• Fine line & black-and-gray realism
• Detailed arm/shoulder tattoos
• Custom pieces with real meaning

“Came here to get this awesome tattoo from Mary. She’s awesome❣️This Turtle is perfect. I love it. The good part is it didn’t hurt. ?“

“John is the absolute best. I've had two tattoos done by him and I'm so grateful.“

“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.“

“Great place and great artists. I loved getting my tattoo here. Prices reasonable and work is completed in perfect amount of time.
This is a large space they have for each artist to have their own Station. I was very impressed with how many people work there.
I will go back for sure for more Body Beauty Art.“

“First time in for the San Jose Day (4/08) flash sale day! It was such a dope experience! Awesome, sweet, down to earth artists (shoutout CJ, K, and Quechi!) Would 10/10 recommend. Hope to return!“

“I have had a lot of work done at Blue Rose Tattoo in San Jose. Nick is awesome and always works with me to get the tattoo right most often improving upon my idea making it much better than I would have expected. Very cool guy and very professional. Top notch location to get tattoos. I highly recommend Blue Rose Tattoo!!!!“

“Got three piercings done and was so happy with their service. Thorough professionals, very talented (couldn’t take my eyes off their tattoo art), very detailed and pay special attention to cleanliness. Absolutely recommend!“

“Both JT and Josh have tatted on me, and I couldn’t be more happy with the work. I’ve only done Walk In appointments and had no issue, and such high quality work. Thank you thank you thank you!!“

“Thuy Taylor is best! She took her time to understand my ideas for my tattoo, and was friendly and professional. She made me feel very comfortable during the tattoo process. Definitely would recommend her services to everyone. Can’t wait to continue my tattoo on our next session!“

“My experience here was very very pleasant! The girls were so sweet and kind, gave us drinks and made sure we were hydrated and doing well :) even the way they text is sooo sweet and I find super cute too! The tattoo process itself was super painless! It was my first time and I had my ribs and behind the ear and I literally felt nothing up until the last 30 minutes where the shading was happening when it started to hurt :) otherwise, it was super painless!! Also they let you take cute little Polaroid photos u get to take home with you, and goodie bags too :) super cool! I love it. They’re seriously the kindest people ever so welcoming, honest, and supportive!! I had the best time ever and will definitely be coming back when I can afford another tattoo! The only criticism is that the tattoo does take a long time to finish however the work is very beautiful and definitely worth it. I also think they’re pretty affordable in price too! I got a small ear tat and rib tattoo for around $260 total :) also healing was super painless and I didn’t even experience scabbing“

“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!“

“Tran was amazing she’s so talented! love the results, the overall experience was 10/10 ?“

“I got 3 piercings done by Louis, upper lobe pair and conch. I am super happy with the results. He was professional and personable. I told him I wanted a cartilage piercing and wasn't sure where a good placement was for the piercing as I wear AirPods and ear pro over the ears for work. He suggested the conch and he was right! I had no problem with my ear pro. Thanks, Louis! I'll definitely be coming back to get more piercings in the future. ☺️“

“The most welcoming shop I've ever been to, they will take their time to make sure your tattoo idea and art work comes into reality.

Very clean and respectful owner and workers.

They work with you, and give great ideas if you require a professionals concept.“
