You know how people always say they "have a guy" for things? I've always wanted that... and then I…read morerealized I do. Tony is my tattoo guy. I've gone to him time and time again for a majority of my work and he can't miss. This last visit in April was extra special because my daughter asked if we could get matching tattoos for her 18th birthday. It was her first and what's this mama going to say, no? Couldn't be me. There was no one else I would trust with that process, especially when it comes to something so precious. We sent Tony our inspo pics and he absolutely nailed it, plus added his own feedback in all the right ways. The detail? On point. The linework? CLEAN AF. Plus, everything healed beautifully. And the compliments? Nonstop. Everywhere we go, someone's asking who did them, and we're more than happy to show them off. Tony and the team also just moved into a new location and the vibe is immaculate. Super laid back, really comfortable, and not intimidating at all. It actually feels like a place you'd want to hang out. No ego, no weird energy, just solid work from someone who clearly cares. Grateful to have found him... because now he's not getting rid of me anytime soon :)

This was my first tattoo, and I had the absolute best experience with Paulo! He knew I was…read moreabsolutely petrified, and I've honestly hyped up the pain more in my head than anything else. He took the design I had in mind and recreated it himself, and it looked even better than my friends design. I'm already thinking of getting a second one and I never thought I would be the type of person to get more than one! I definitely will be back!!!

They did all my ear piercings quickly, professionally, and at an affordable price! The piercer was…read moresuper professional, gentle, and gave me her recommendations for the healing process. The ambiance was also really nice- they have this vintage, saloon style waiting room, and my piercer in particular had a bunch of cool art in her room. For a pair of ear piercings they charge $50, for a piercing on one ear, they charge $40. The jewelry is included for free with the piercing too. Those prices are a STEAL!! I definitely recommended this little gem of a place! Btw: did I mention that they also offer a selection of jewelry as well, and that's also great quality and super affordable too?

DO NOT GET PIERCED BY Angel! I came here for a cartilage piercing, and the jewelry was…read moreintentionally bent during the piercing process and left that way in my ear for several days. The area became very painful, swollen, irritated, and started imbedding in my ear. I eventually went to another professional piercer, who had to remove the jewelry and explained how badly the piercing had been done and how much damage it caused to the area. This was a painful and stressful experience, and I would not recommend this location at all. I have photos of the piercing and the jewelry after it was removed. Highly recommend going to Claudia instead for any future piercings and tattoos. Make your appointment with her at (510)221-1156.

I'll definitely be coming back for future pieces.

It's only August but I've visited Kapwa Ink 3 times already…read more The first time was in February for their Valentine's Day flash event (the event itself yes was busy - but! there were snacks, water available & the vibes were pretty chill). My next visit was in April - I got 2 tattoos with Kristina. She was super communicative & when I asked if I can get a 2nd tattoo during the same appointment, she made it work out & helped me which appt to book on their website. She was extremely friendly & we talked about our tattoos & all that. My most recent visit (yesterday 8/29) - it was with Crys! Got a simple custom tribal on my ear & again - just like Kristina, Crys was very communicative - letting me know the process of making the tattoo to letting me know they're running behind the day of. Overall - love the vibes here & I'd definitely come back when I have more ideas

I just moved to San Leandro about a year before and I was used to getting mines done at Faces Plus in San Francisco, but after the last time I went, they didn't do such a good job so I decided to look elsewhere. I found Yolanda and made an appointment and she was very sweet and knowledgeable. She fixed the arch on my right side and drew out the brows before starting. She took her time which I really appreciate and they came out better than I could've hoped for - waaay better than even my first time at Faces Plus! She gave me a little package of ointment and told me what I should and shouldn't do to take care of them so they wouldn't fade as fast. I will definitely be going back probably in a few years to get a touch up, I'm so glad I was able to find this place. Thanks Yelp!

I reached…read moreout to so many piercing shops trying to find a place that was affordable, clean, & sterile, & Orbit had the best prices by far. They include free jewelry with every piercing (or you can upgrade for a little charge) & they have so many different Jewelry options to choose from.

Whether you're looking to get pierced, shop for jewelry, or pick up skateboard gear, Orbit is definitely the place to-go !! My birthday is in a week, so I'll definitely be back to get another piercing !!
