I'm on my second tattoo here and I couldn't be more impressed with the line work and incredible detail.
Highly recommended! Best shop I've found in the Bay.

Reviews
Joshua Everett aka Josh "Rudeboy" Medeiros did the most beautiful small script on my wrist!!
Josh did an amazing job on my friends’s tattoo! He was extremely patient with her needing extra time to decide, and did a phenomenal job in such a short amount of time. I also got my piercings done by Raphael, again was very gentle and made it bare-able. Both came out amazing, would recommend this spot out of any other in San Jose!
