“Just got some new ink at Vampire Battle Mansion and I couldn't be happier! My artist was amazing – so professional, light touch, and truly brought my vision to life. The studio is spotless and has a really cool, chill vibe. Highly recommend for top-notch work!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“This review is for Van, who is absolutely amazing! I found her after doing a ton of research on tattoo shops with great reviews in the Bay Area, and when I landed on New Generation Tattoo's site and saw her portfolio, I was in awe. Her work is pure art - the way she captures the beauty and nuances of nature is breathtaking. Her booking process was super straightforward (all clearly explained on her Instagram), and she was so easy and kind to communicate with throughout. She did such an incredible job bringing my vision to life, and she made the whole experience feel so comfortable and easy, even though it was my very first tattoo! We finished it in one session, and honestly, the time flew by thanks to her gentle touch and her genuinely warm personality. Her attention to detail is superb and I seriously cannot recommend her enough. On top of that, everyone else at the shop (special shoutout to Long, Toan, Justin, and Dan) was so friendly and welcoming; they really made me feel like part of the community!“

“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.“

“Sorry for blurry pic but it was a great experience !! The studio was clean and nicely decorated with his work. He also pays very close attention to detail with the designs and he's very good at what he does.“

“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!“

“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!“

“How I settled on Chapter Tattoo was his detailed emails. He was professional and to the point. The shop was clean with black and white walls. He took me through his workstation on how each person has a brand new needle and ink set. Once the work is completed, he discards the needles in his biohazard red bin under his workstation. All his surfaces are stainless steal, disinfected, and items wrapped in plastic are changed out with each client. He is passionate about his work, calm, and he is a people person. He made sure my tattoos had the correct symmetry on my arm. This was my very first tattoo and ended up with two. Chapter Tattoo is the best place in town.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“Jesse is fantastic, I got a tattoo from him 12 years ago and returned for a spine tattoo this month. He's respectful and professional, the shop is clean and for the most part quiet. As a woman I appreciated his respect around having my back exposed etc and would recommend his talented work to anyone!“

“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!“

“I went to Mars ink for my bestfriends memorial tattoo. So glad I did! Cynthia was great at communicating and booking my appointment. Very clear with everything that needed to be handled prior to appointment. Mike took my vision and made it a complete masterpiece. The very first image he drafted i was blown away and was ready to get inked. Mike completed the piece and I will forever be grateful for the tribute ink he did. I look at the tattoo and I see my bestfriend. Thank you both for being so amazing!“

“I love coming here. Tony is such a chill dude. Always has great customer service and has great ideas. I definitely recommend coming here.“

“got my septum pierced here, quick and easy will come again someday when its fully healed !!“

“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.“

“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.“

“I stopped to see about getting a tattoo after being disappointed by Marks of art. I was met with a very friendly staff that made me feel extremely welcomed and comfortable. I ended up having my tattoo done by the very talented artist named Nova. She was kind and Extremely talented.
It was one of the best experience I've had getting a tattoo. I highly recommend this place“
