I got my rook pierced here in Feb 2023 and my belly pierced August 2023, both done by Sabrina. She's a great piercer! My favorite bay area piercer hands down. When getting my rook done, she made me feel superrrr comfortable and I was super nervous about the pain level. It didn't hurt one bit! One of my favorite ear piercings. My belly piercing had more complications but that's happened before and Sabrina helped me out by changing it out to a longer bar for the swelling to go away. 10/10 WILL go again and I always recommend my friends coming here to get pierced. Good vibes all around, great place for body mods!! read more

GO ELSEWHERE!! I had come with my friend to get a tattoo on a fun spontaneous evening out after getting some dinner. As we were hanging out waiting to get tattoos we both noticed they offered piercings. Weren't in the mood for some new holes at the moment but thought to ask about jewelry and see if there were any cute options. After talking with the piercer/tattoo artist and realizing her name was Sabrina I realized this was the person that used to work at a previous shop that had worked on me before and permanently damaged my friend and I, and ended up in the hospital with staph infections. I was so caught off guard and honestly so upset that this person is still actively piercing people that we left and didn't get our tattoos. I am still so scarred from the trauma that Sabrina caused me to endure and the hospital bills and pain I suffered. I'll attach photos below of what she did to me and the reviews I left for her from my previous encounter with her. Her Jewelry is extremely low quality, shes never there for you when you need help or issues with your piercing and extremely unreliable. PLEASE for the safety of your life, do NOT get pierced or serviced by Sabrina!!!! read more

Joey (zombie) was attentive professional and a total vibe to be around. He helped and reviewed everything beforehand to ensure a easy flow. He is very artistic, one characteristic that truly stands out is his impeccable love for art I enjoyed being in his natural habitat. Thank you for the awesome art piece on me which represents a the special people in my life. read more

Sabrina was great to work with. She successfully removed a piercing for me that I had been struggling with for a year. I would highly recommend her as the customer service was amazing and I immediately felt at home as soon as I sat in the chair. 10/10 experience, I will definitely be coming back for my next piercing and will recommend her to all of my friends. I have yet to have a positive experience at ANY other shop in the Bay Area, Cali Stylz takes the cake. read more

I was welcomed in and taken care of right away. Sabrina was the person to pierce my nose. She was very polite and clean with her equipment. After she marked my nostril, she let me take a look and confirm I liked the placement. She went over how to care for my piercing and properly clean it. I recommend Cali Stylz Tattoos! For sure coming back for my next piercing. read more

Cali Stylz Tattoos - Septum Piercing - Tattoo Near Me - San Jose, California

Both tattoos were done by Frank (IG:tat2frank). Absolutely love his work!! Hella chill, straight up and honest; I have a feeling all the artists are the same too haha. I actually wanted my tattoo to be about an inch in size, and Frank said, "If you were to get the size you wanted it would look like a stamp" and he was right LOL. Listen and trust your artists!! They are very honest with their pricing as well, they're not out here to scam you so I highly suggest this shop if you're looking to get some ink done! Emailed 4 different shops in the area about my design and they all gave me a $300-400+ price range; Not only did I come here for their good pricing but because a lot of people I knew have gotten pieces here and recommend it and I noticed there aren't as many up to date reviews on their yelp. Both tattoos healed perfectly as well! Definitely going back. Faith tattoo is my friend 's ($50); she recommended the shop. Flower tattoo is mine ($120). read more

I absolutely love Sabrina. She has done my Ashley, both my noses, and my septum. I don't bother going anywhere else and won't for my future work because her energy is immaculate. She always makes me feel loved, wanted and cared for read more

This place is more of 3.5 stars.... I came in yesterday to get a dreamcatcher done on my hand, but when I got home and was staring at it for a while, I noticed an error on the tattoo. The ring and lines inside the ring of the dreamcatcher aren't too clean, but I can't be picky about that since it is a small piece. Shading is a bit off too.. What really got me though was that the lines on the bottom left corner in the middle of the dreamcatcher aren't well connected. They don't look like petals the way they should, so it looks jumbled up. There are two extra lines that I don't feel should have been added, and I was a bit confused looking at it because don't you trace these tattoos? How do you make an error like that? It was a little upsetting to see, and I would give this place 5 stars if it weren't for that. I was told that touch-ups are free within the first month, and then there's a $20 charge after that.. ehh okay, sounds fair, but my other artist does touch ups for free soo.. ); My artist was Joe, and he was very friendly and easy going and gave me a good price for my piece. Overall, he did a great job, but I don't think I will be back here for anymore artwork. I wanted to try out a more affordable shop, but I will probably be sticking to my other artists. I do recommend this place to those who are looking for good deals though because my other artists have pricing ranges from $120-$200/hr. Cali Stylz is definitely great for smaller pieces and good pricing, but it would not be my go to for large pieces. I wouldn't want to risk a mess up on a large piece I get. read more

I got my ear pierced here today and Sabrina was really nice in helping me. At first I got a hoop but I went back to change it to a stud since I was worried that it would heal wrong. She was able to change it for me for free and let me keep my hoop :) read more

The piercer there (Sabrina) has done all my piercings, she is very friendly and kind. She is very very cleanly and everything she uses is sterile!! She makes sure you like the placement if your piercing before piercing you and she always makes sure you're comfortable! I would highly recommend her as she has not only done mine and some of my friends but she's pierced my 2 of my daughters ears as well read more

Came highly recommend by a friend. I made an appointment with Sabrina for 8 mths old baby ear piercing. I confirmed via text for Friday at 3pm her hours were 2-7pm. We arrived at 2:45 and the shop was closed. We were early so waited. I texted letting her know we arrived but the shop was closed. We waited till 3:20 and no one ever showed up at the shop or texted back. Not until 4:03 did I finally get a text saying "sorry didn't have my phone and the boss didn't show up and also made me wait." We were there waiting and I did not see anyone except a guy and girl walk up to the door to see it was locked. The girl had a phone in her hand so I can assume that was not Sabrina. Seriously disappointed we were looking forward to get my granddaughters ears pierced. I had seen other reviews that this place had done this with other customers but I was hoping maybe it was an off day for this place. I don't live close to downtown so it was a drive for us too. Total waste of our time. read more

Got one of my twins re-pierced by Sabrina. She did a great job and made me feel comfortable. Didn't hurt as bad as I thought either. Yay. She has reasonable prices too. read more

Hands down BEST place to get a tattoo!! I've gone here about 5 times I believe - and they are amazing! Every time I walk in first thing I notice is the artwork and music! Different but in a good way! My most recent tattoo was started by Frank (I haven't had time to get it done but will be going in soon to finish it) and he kept a conversation going which made me feel so comfortable and relaxed. I laughed silently - not a great idea to laugh while being tattooed to let newbies know! Lol but overall Frank is my go to guy!!! Great vibes all around, great conversations, great artists.. I always recommend this place to anyone who asks about my tattoos or is looking for a great artist/shop to get tattooed/pierced!!! read more

stabbed by Sabrina is very nice lady and very creative. very good environment and great experience. just the quality of her jewelry is very bad. I do have sensitive skin.The piercings never healed and they migrated. The jewelry diamond things fell out and they were also sinking into my skin. I have gone back and she did replace one but it just kept happening again. So it's just the quality of the jewelry that doesn't go with my skin. I was up front about my sensitive skin and that I typically do titanium. She said they were titanium. I took them all out and unfortunately payed with Zelle so I am unable to do a charge back. Nice lady. Just not good quality jewelry. They were all discolored when I took them out. Which I've never seen. I've done other piercings at other places and have not had an issue. Like my tongue or nose etc. read more

after leaving a piercing studio that wanted to charge $200 for a simple nose piercing, I found Cali Stylz on Yelp. They were closed at the time but I sent a message asking what they charge and what their availability looks like. I got a message back with a phone number to call or text. I text them and they were just as outraged as I was about that other place wanting to charge me $200. they told me to text them about 30 minutes before to make sure they have time for a walk in. a few days later I text them and they said to head over. the guys there were pretty friendly. I'm not much of a talker so it was nice that they didn't try to force conversation like the overly friendly employee at the other place did. the whole thing took about a minute, verbally gave me after care instructions, I paid them $40 and left. I'll definitely recommend them to anyone looking for an affordable, clean place to get a quick piercing read more

Got a tattoo here about a year and a half ago on my birthday and it came out soooooo good. I was skeptical but I felt at home with the shops environment and the piece came out nice af. I will be returning later this summer to add a new piece. I don't remember the name of the guy who did my tattoo but he's the shop owner and his daughter works the front desk. It was so nice being able to have a conversation with her about the pain and how she wanted one! Honestly an amazing place that's really underrated! Check them out! read more

Having meeting Sabrina for the first time after hearing great things about her before as a person, was a great experience, I came to her shop in downtown with my girlfriend and she greeted us with respect and patience . my girlfriend said they were chatting away having a good conversation and sharing memories together while piercing her nipples , the shop was sanitized, professional , and conducted themselves well. Come here to experience a well professional setting in San Jose. read more

This a great tattoo shop. They were able to accommodate me by fitting me in their schedule which was great. I came into the shop and was able to talk to Jose. He was so nice I showed him a picture of what I wanted which was a cross with some flowers on it but I asked if he could change the rose into another periwinkle ( I think that is the name for it) and he was able too. It was such a great experience and I plan to go back to fill it in with color and more tattoos read more

Cali Stylz Tattoos - His birthday tattoo - Tattoo Near Me - San Jose, California

Joe is an awesome artist! I have been wanting to get a chest piece of a Plumeria Flowers with Humming birds for a long time, but just never got around to doing it. My boyfriend went to the tattoo expo in Cow-palace and fell in love with Joe's work. So my boyfriend and I decide to drop in and check it out. The place is very clean and organized. I consulted with Joe who is the owner of "Cali Stylz", about my tattoo and felt very comfortable just after 5 min of talking to him. Joe was booked for a whole week, so I made an appointment with him for the following week. The whole piece took two separate sessions (Outline and shading). My boyfriend and I very impressed with Joe's work and am so glad we found this place. He only uses the highest quality ink and needles. The details of my tattoo are so precise and it looks so real. I get mad compliments from everybody I show it to. By the way, this was my first tattoo. I would highly recommend anyone that wants to get inked, especially if it's your first time, to pay "Caly Stilz" a visit. You will not regret it. read more

The tattoo artist that did my sisters tattoo was frank, we were in and out within 40 minutes. Frank wasn't very friendly at all and giving my sister an attitude about her asking him to wrap her tattoo after it was finished and an hour after we left we noticed he did not put the line in the letter "T" in the word loyalty, after she contacted him to ask him if he can fix it he simply replied with "shop is closed till Monday" and "he knew he forgot something" and "come in Monday at 3 and I'll add the line real quick" He was not sincere or apologetic at all not once did he say I'm sorry or my bad and seemed careless to his mistake.. very unprofessional! read more

Cali Stylz Tattoos - It's suppose to say "loyalty" but instead she has loyally and no apology.. - Tattoo Near Me - San Jose, California

Joe is the man! Every single one of my tattoos I've gotten from him. I refer all tattoo work to him as well. The prices are great, the work is nice, the shop is clean and there's always fresh air coming in (it's never stuffy inside). Make an appointment ahead of time though. And one of the best parts for those who are worried (as you should be) about things being sterile, Joe pops a fresh needle out of the packing right in front of you. read more

If i could do a negative amount of stars on this thing i would. I went to this place because they had cheap deals on tats and peircings; 20 tats 40 dermal anchors. Sounds to good to be true? It is. I got a small owl tattoo and a dermal anchor on my shoulder. Both the tattoo guy and the peircer were HORRIBLE. That tattoo guy couldnt draw. His lines were crooked and he rushed thru the tattoo. He also did the same tat on my friend, which he horribly free-handed. Now the peircer is the most upsetting to me. He used CHEAP jewelry. His technique is sophmoric and unprofessional. Not to mention painful as f***! He couldnt even do it right the first time. He literally dug into my flesh 5 times to try and shove it in there and it still came out crooked. Again, DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE! If you want infectious jewelry and a painful peircing experience then go right ahead. But be advised this place is a sham. read more

Not my first tattoo, but it definitely is my largest. Joey is extremely helpful and was able to give me a lot of good ideas as well as precautions to make sure this tattoo would be awesome. Price range was surprisingly fair and the pain was definitely worth it. Coming back to touch up my old tattoos as well as add on to my newest. I have a pic posted in my profile of his work if that helps :) read more

My friend had been coming to Joe for quite some time and I came in for her last session. That encouraged me that much more to come get my piece done. I am completely satisfied & am coming back to get it finished. We only did the outline this time around. I come back for the color & finsishing touches in 2 weeks. The prices are well worth what you pay for. Check em out. read more

I went here for my very first tattoo and I had a great experience. I was a nervous wreck but I felt completely comfortable with my tattoo artist, Joey.
