I came here to see Nikki. She's the piercer on site. Super easy to book an appointment with her. If you don't have an appointment she does take walk ins but it's generally a couple hour wait. At first visit we talk about the piercing, the jewelry and the upkeep. She makes sure you're a good candidate for the piercing you're wanting and extremely thorough. You sign your waivers, set up a follow up appointment to check how your piercings are healing. It's very clean, and organized. Nikki had a lot of jewelry to choose from. I went in for a septum piercing and picked an amazing statement piece. She also had different gauges, and talked about why you would pierce with a larger or smaller gauge. Overall I'm extremely happy with my choice, healed nicely and never had any issues. I'd definitely go back for More pieces and take my kids to get theirs do read more

Well, what can I say.... Robert is amazing!! I hit him up on 10/6/22 at 12pm and told him I was looking for a matching tattoo idea for my dad and I for his birthday. Told him we are looking for Oogie Boogie. Sent him a few photos I liked and he CLAPPED back with even better photos!!!! I ended up choosing one of his. He managed to get us in same day! We got there at 6:30pm didn't get out til 11:30 or so. He spent the time to make sure my dad and I were comfortable and water to drink! As far as what I was expecting from him and the tattoo.... Exceeded my expectations. The quality and size of the tattoo for the price was great!! Robert really took the time to make sure the tattoo was perfect and up to our standards. All in all, 10/10 recommend him!! read more

I love Nikki, she's done over 5 of my piercings. I just recently got another one by her, it did not hurt at all (which I was extremely surprised about). Nikki has many years of training, skill and experience. I follow her to any shop she goes to because I trust her knowledge with piercings!! Nikki is very professional and makes the client feel so comfortable. Thank you so much, will definitely be back for more! read more

Well, we are a week plus out since my daughter's belly button piercing, and it's looking really good! She had minimal pain during the procedure and her healing process has been great~ Nikki has been perfecting her craft for years! She's very transparent when getting anything done on the pros and cons. Also, she encourages you to text or call her with any inquiries on aftercare. She's a gem! Glad that my daughter was able to find an amazing and professional Piercer. I can wholeheartedly and truthfully say: "Yes, I would trust her to pierce my own daughter." Cheers Kitty~ read more

I had showed Robert a picture tattoo and it came out to be better than the picture. His work speaks for itself. If you're planning to get tatted don't think twice! :) You won't regret it. His work is amazing. He motivated my boyfriend to get tatted after seeing my tattoo. read more

I came to the shop for a tongue piercing that I've been contemplating for years. Sabrina gave me the run down on care, piercing changes and helped me get situated. After the piercing I waited a week as instructed to come in for a change in size. Swelling hadn't gone down quite enough, she explained that she didn't want to further irritate the piercing so I should wait a little longer before the size down. She asked me to wait a few more days and return to try again. Sure enough, when I returned, the smaller size went in perfectly and felt very comfortable. She noted my discomfort initially and did not try to brute force it, or leave me uncomfortable following forcing a smaller bar, she asked me to wait and I am very glad she did. Can absolutely recommend. read more

Nikki is the best piercer I have ever been too! She pierced both of my nostrils and now my septum. She is amazing and extremely sweet. Go to Nikki for any of your piercing needs.. You won't regret it read more

I wish I could give less stars! My friends and I recived some of the WORST service here. Sabrina the woman who does the piercings here has no idea what she is doing. The lack of education and skill that should be provided to the customer was horrible and sloppy. She made us feel uncomfortable and ruined our piercing experience as well as put our lives/health at stake! We were overcharged for shitty low quality piercings and jewelry. Please refer to the photos below of my now permanently scared body. Unfortunately my friend doesn't use yelp so I am writting for both of us. Sabrina clearly has no idea what she is doing and needs to stop before she kills someone. My friend and I both had our piercings removed at the emergency room because the piercings sank into our body and skin healed over it!! We were informed by our doctors that we recived staph infections from the piercer using dirty and not sterile equipment/jewelry. We were given antibiotics and sent home with permanent damage and scars caused by the carelessness of this piercer. Our piercings were only a few days old!! We both reached out to Sabrina and were in desperate need of help and went back to the shop, Sabrina was NO WHERE to be found and when we did finally get ahold of her she told us that it was normal swelling and everything was fine. She refused to actually help us. I'm leaving this review in hopes that it saves someone from a very painful and poorly done service. I can't speak for the shop but the piercing service here is disgusting and horrible. I wanted the give the piercer the benefit of the doubt but after speaking with multiple reputable piercers and doctors it was very clear that this is from someone who doesn't know how to properly do the job at hand and doesn't know what they're doing. We are still healing and are extremely traumatized from this piercers negligence with us. This was completely preventable had the service been done by a trained professional. Please seek out a reputable piercer and go somewhere else. read more

I got my tongue pierced on August 13th Sabrina did such an amazing job I barely felt any pain when she pierced it and she put in the jewelry fast the pain was a 5 out of 10 I can't wait to come back to her and get more piercing read more

I wanted to get my nostril and cartilage piercing forever but I've always been really squeamish around needles so I put it off for years. As soon as I met Sabrina though, I knew she was the perfect person to finally pierce me! Her confidence in her craft and her calm energy is instantly reassuring! What's more, I barely even felt it when she pierced me- she's amazingly fast! One piercing lead to another, I was thrilled with the results and realized that I had been scared to get pierced for nothing! Now I'm so excited planning the next piercings I want to get from her! 12/10 recommend Sabrina the piercer to anyone! read more

I am getting five stars because Sabrina is absolutely amazing, I have gotten three piercings from her now and every single one of them has healed perfectly, and she makes me feel very comfortable because I am a big chicken and get super anxious when it comes to needles.

Yonkos Tattoo Studio - Belly button piercing, don't mind my stretch marks haha! - Tattoo Near Me - San Jose, California

I came here to get my ears pierced last month. Sadly my experience has not been good. First off the lady who pierced my ears, Sabrina put hoops in my newly pierced ears and she told me they were titanium. First few days they hurted and were a little swollen I figured it was normal and I kept them cleaned hoping they would get better but they just kept getting worst. I noticed the hoops were changing color from shiny gold to a dull gray. I went to another piercing place and I found out that the metal was NOT titanium and that I should have never put hoops on a piercing that it not healed because the hoop moves around causes irritation and inflammation. I got them changed to real titanium studs and I felt almost instant relief from the pain, swelling and white discharge coming out the hole. I also found out the pierced hole on both ears was at an angle so more earlobe was pierced which makes the front of the earring looks like it's slanted down. SMH...I wish I would have avoided all these issues by going to someone who is honest and experienced. read more

Sabrina is amazing! I had my tongue pierced years ago but took it out. I had been wanting to get it redone but was scared it would hurt! She made me feel super comfortable! She was fast and I was in and out within 10mins. She opened everything brand new in front of me and also sanitized every surface in front of me. Totally would recommend her! read more

Sabrina is by far the best piercer I've ever been to. She was extremely nice and made sure I was ready and comfortable every step of the way. I was a little hesitant at first but she was super careful, clean, and sanitary. Definitely worth it. I recommend. read more

A couple of months ago I contacted Ramon Diaz, owner of the shop through Instagram DM saying I was interested in getting a tattoo. I did tell him it was my first one in which he followed up by saying he'd help me get whatever I wanted and sent me his schedule so I can choose accordingly. We also discussed the tattoo over the DM in order for him to help with my design and also save us both time before going into the shop. On the day of my appointment, I got my tattoo and brought a couple of friends along to check out his work. A couple of weeks ago I got my second tattoo from him. I, along with several friends would gladly say Ramon is super professional, and without hesitation one of the best tattoo artists in the South Bay. 10/10 recommend going here. read more

I've only ever gotten one tattoo ever and the customer service where I went was awful. But this shop was spectacular. I went with my sister to their Friday the 13 special yesterday of 33 tattoos. Obviously the special was too crazy to pass up so the wait was very long I got there around 4:30pm and didn't get to put my name down till 9:30pm.Because of how packed it was I didnt get to get to leave till 4:30.am. It does seem like such a long time but all the employees were amazing being so kind and extending themselves way over their time to finish everybody up. The guy handling all the paper work was such a jokester and friendly keeping the mood up and checking if everybody was okay. Ramon too was so kind and looking out for everyone making space in the store to try and fit in as much people in to shelter from the cold and his friends going out as far as sharing there food with clients around . All in all great experience and customer service read more
