You know how people always say they "have a guy" for things? I've always wanted that... and then I realized 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 :) read more

Tony's work is amazing! I have been going to him for over 15 years and I won't get artwork done by anyone else. Our most recent piece was done to cover up a big, ugly melanoma scar and even my dermatologist had trouble finding where the incision was when I went for my skin check. read more

I got tatted by Tony himself. A 2-session special piece because it's in honor of my grandparents. His line work is CRAZY! Free handed the tribal off pictures I had of my grandparents ngatus (mats). It fits me perfectly. Good convos, chill atmosphere, and clean! 10/10 would go again. read more

Went in for some Filipino tribal work on my forearm and leg for multiple sessions. Tony did great and I love how they came out

Livestreamed my last session on YouTube (@GrimmityClips) I've had all my tattoos worked on by Paulo. Been going to him for over a decade now, 3 different locations. I'll continue going to Paulo for the foreseeable future. Quality line work that matches the concept picture sent! As for the shop itself, don't let the location or entrance deter you from coming here. As seen in the picture, it's nothing but chill vibes inside! read more

Revere Tattoo - Butterfly tattoo with a lotus it was a cover-up from my old Tattoo from the 80s. Did the most awesome job. !!! - Tattoo Near Me - Hayward, California

Don't not go here. Watch Out!!!!! I got the worst tattoo here recently. Now I have to get the tattoo removed. Joshua, my tattoo artist is a sweet Hawaiian guy so I feel bad about this review. But everyone should be warned. I still paid the money he requested, and tipped him for his time. It was by far the worst artist and experience at Revere. Also I was quoted $200 for a small rose less than 1 inch(prior to this horrible butch job). Revere Tattoo is expensive, and horrible work. I'm so embarrassed, I have to hide my hands all day. read more

Paulo was awesome from start to finish! Easy to consult and plan with prior to my appointment. He was professional, kind and patient with getting my Mom's memorial design perfect. Everything was cleanly set up. I was able to pay with Zelle/Venmo. Lots of Public parking lots around but do not park in the lot directly adjacent to the building! This was a great experience and would highly recommend Paulo at Revere Tattoo. read more

I've always wanted to get a tattoo but i've also been always scared! But a life event finally made me do it and this place couldn't be more perfect. I was put in contact with Tony and he is super nice but the artist that did my tattoo is Hiro. And it turned out perfect. He is an absolute match the a newbie like me. This place has the best vibe and the music---i mean, it literally distracted me enough from the lil bit of discomfort to fully enjoy the experience. Tony, Hiro and the rest of the team are absolutely the best! Thank you!!!! read more

Nick was super friendly and amazing! From inquiring to payment it was all smooth sailing. Great customer service Had Adolfo as my tattoo artist and he did a great job! It was my first tattoo and he gave me a thorough run down on what to expect after the process. Clean, fast, great detail on mine so far.

My son had the supernatural anti demon possession symbol done by Josh. It came out excellent. Josh was thorough and took his time. Lines crisp, ink blackest black. I was allowed to sit right next to my son and watch the artist at work. It was very easy to schedule an appointment over the phone and the wait time was super short. The building is historic and there's a parking lot on the side. The ambiance is very cool there, a Hawaiian/Polynesian, hang loose and chill vibe abounds. Lots of artwork on the walls. I will come here for my next tattoo and recommend them to everyone. read more

Thank you to Paulo for doing my butterfly tattoo! I really love it and it healed pretty quick. I told my husband about Paulo "Coach" hehe and he is wanting to get some work done as well. Would like to add more to my piece. Paulo is such an amazing person. Great to talk to as well. When he asked if I was ready I lied and said I was ready but then when the tattoo gun hit me I thought it would hurt but instead it ended up tickling. I told Paulo that I apologize because I was twitching only the simple fact it tickled lol. We both ended laughing. He can see he's very passionate at what he loves to do. So thankful that I gotten him to tattoo me. Much love. read more

Revere Tattoo - Symbolizes freedom - Tattoo Near Me - Hayward, California

Shanette was awesome! I saw her work on a friends Instagram and reached out to her to do some touch up work on an old piece. She did not disappoint. She gave me recommendations for other work that I want done that she does not do and am appreciative she was up front with what she can/will and cannot/will not do. Since breathing new life into this piece I want to add just a little more to it but we'll see how the healing goes before doing so. I'll update again once I get the wrap off later this week read more

Revere Tattoo - 2010. Loved it. I was warned about the red fading & was horrible at protecting it from sun damage. (NOT done @ Revere) - Tattoo Near Me - Hayward, California

getting a tattoo is almost as daunting as having an artist do your tattoo on you. I only have a few small tattoos (done by different artists) and I was skeptical in going to a new tattoo shop. While I've contacted other shops around the area, Tony was quick to respond. I gave information on the tattoo I want and my appointment was set ($50.00 deposit thru venmo). The place seemed very friendly and getting a tat form Tony was a good experience. After the process, he gave me good instructions on how to take care of the tattoo. So far, it's one of the best tats I've gotten. read more

I'm visiting CA for a convention and decided to see if I could get in, last minute for a new piece of art. I contacted the shop via Yelp messages and Tony got back to me almost immediately. I told him what I wanted and he got me in two days later. The shop is super clean and professional. Tony was a sweetheart and seemed to really enjoy my silly little cat. I asked him to pump up some colors and he was all over it. I had a great time and I love my little black cat. I'll definitely go back to Revere if I visit again. Thank you for a great experience. read more

I just had my first session with Nik who squeezed me in same-day! He did a beautiful Silent Hill tattoo for me on my back. I changed my mind about the colour right before we started and he didn't mind at all. He created a beautiful colour, which was exactly what I had in mind. He is very chill, down to earth, meticulous and talented. He went back over lines towards the end just to make sure everything was perfect. He made sure I had water, that I was comfortable and doing ok throughout. He also informed me that the first touch-up is free. His pricing is very reasonable. I highly recommend. The place itself is clean and very chill. Good vibes all round. Thank you so much! I'll add pics when it's all healed! read more

I went here to get my first tattoo in remembrance of my cousin who passed away. I had messaged them through yelp asking for an estimate and Tony replied quickly and made an appointment for me on the same day which was appreciated. Tony was nice and worked with me to decide on which font to use. He let me take my time in deciding the placement of the tattoo and reassured me he wouldn't get annoyed if I wanted to change anything. He was really calm, easy going, and understanding the whole time. He made sure I was comfortable before he started and asked me if I was ok multiple times throughout. The tattoo came out super clean and I am so happy with it! I've gotten lots of compliments and it seems to be healing perfectly. This place was a little hard to find, I had to drive around the block a few times. I found that they had free parking around back. Tip: Remember to ring the door bell to get in and out!! read more

I just got my tattoo done by Nick ! I walked in at 4pm had an appointment at 6.30pm and was out by 8pm. Amazing service he was so kind and considerate, was patience and reassuring throughout the whole process. I was nervous and he was patience in recreating my pattern. Once the pattern was laid on my skin I still didn't think the ratio was right - Nick had no problem wiping off the pattern and starting again. He was so kind I will definitely be back. This was a memorial tattoo to honor my loss. He was so compassionate when I shared my daughters story - very meaningful thank you read more

I got my piece done by Adolfo about 2 months ago- after 1 touch up, this is the finished piece. It's a cute design, but I'm not very happy with the line work. I thought that maybe it would heal up, but there's definitely some uneven lines and chunky lines. I guess it's not horrible, but I wouldn't recommend this place nor would I return. As per the owners comment, I am sure that there are some great artists here. However this was simply my experience with this shop, and why I wouldn't return! read more

I searched several other tattoo shops before I chose Revere. This place is clean and has an amazing facility. The atmosphere is welcoming and the artists are all way cool. The office manager is not only super hot but also way cool! Josh is my artist and he is reliable, fair and most of all a genius with ink. I will be back and can't wait to continue my projects with Revere. I recommend this shop whether it's your first tattoo, you are going back for more, or you need a cover up to get that dude's name covered up from your butt cheek! This place ROCKS ! read more

Loved the vibes at Revere! I got two tattoos done by Justin on my arm. This was my first time getting a tattoo and Justin was super helpful with the process. Right from the jump he made me feel comfortable to calm my nerves and was just easy to talk to. He had great input with both of the tattoos I got done and exceeded my expectations. Definitely would come back for another piece and would recommend to everyone! I also got to meet Tony. He did my friend's tribal piece with sampaguita flowers on her shoulder. Great work from him as well! He was so nice. Everything came out so clean! Thanks Tony and Justin! read more
