    THE BEST!!!! I am obsessed with Danny. He has such a unique style of illustrative tattoo design that you won't be able to find anywhere else in the world. He keeps everything clean and sterile and shows you how he used brand new needles and equipment every time. He's friendly and chill, which made my few hour session with him super enjoyable. He even sent me home with the original drawing of my tattoo piece. Seriously cannot recommend this guy enough and will be for sure flying back to California for my next big pieces. Danny is dope!!! Get yatted by Chapter tattoo before he becomes the most famous tattoo artist in the world and is booked 10 years in advance

    I found Danny on yelp looking for a tattoo artist where I live in Sunnyvale. A lot of people on yelp mentioned that Danny took cleanliness very seriously and is a great artist. I scheduled an appointment for my daughter to get her first tattoo and a clean shop was first on the list . We met Danny and he went over how he cleans his station and all steps in between. Danny is very easy going and answered all of our questions. After my daughter got her awesome tattoo I asked Danny if he did blast over/ cover ups. He said yes and I showed him the tattoos I wanted to cover up. I got them when I was young and dumb lol. I didn't want to hide them with just a black panther and really wanted a tiger. Danny drew up a fantastic tiger and used flames and stripes to cover and draw the eye away from the old tattoos. I am more than pleased with the results and everyone that I've showed has been blown away by the transformation. If you are looking for a professional tattoo artist who prides himself on cleanliness and is a great artist, then Danny is your man!

    I've been tattooed by Danny three times in the last 8 months. He has been nothing but patient, innovative and professional. The shop is ridiculously clean and Danny is very organized. Chapter Tattoo is Dany's shop and he is the only artist that works there. Which means there are no random people walking in and out. No other artists making noise or distractions. For these reasons it makes for a perfect shop to get tattooed at if you have anxiety like I do. Danny lets me have as many interruptions as I need to so that I can stretch my legs, have a smoke, go to the bathroom, etc. He has never rushed me or denied me a break like the 7 other tattoo shops I've been to. Chapter Tattoo has ample safe parking which again puts my anxiety at ease. My experience at other tattoo shops always had horrible parking situations. Danny's prices can not be beat! Frankly, I feel like he should be charging more. If you have any touch ups to do he'll gladly fit you in for them. He is a perfectionist and wants you to be as happy with your tattoo as he is. I will continue going to Danny as long as I live in the Bay Area. He is the best tattoo artist in the Bay!

    Best tattoo shop I've experienced hands down. Danny is very professional and at the same time personable. He's detailed orientated and works with you to make sure you get the best tattoo possible. He's also honest in regards to letting you know if your design/placement would work or not. His shop in super clean and he goes over his procedures from start to finish so you know what to expect from your experience. I love that fact that he's an artist (illustrator) first and that his talent transfers flawlessly to his tattooing. This gave me the confidence to give him creative freedom when it came to ideas and design of my tattoos. He's already done 3 of my tattoos and will plan on getting more done in the near future. :) If you're interested and thinking of getting some ink done, I suggest consulting with Danny; and you'll know what I'm talking about.

    I've been going to Danny for almost 2 years now, and there's a few reasons why I keep coming back. Before becoming a tattoo artist, he already had a lot of experience with illustration and design, which shows in his sketches and tattoos. I try to give Danny as much detail as possible for any new pieces I want to get, but I trust his judgment and creativity and am always satisfied with the final designs. Danny is very professional and makes sure to abide by all health and safety codes to minimize risk of infection. I always get compliments on how good the tattoos look and how well Danny tattooed on my skin. I've recommended two friends to contact him for pieces and they were satisfied with their experience as well. Both intend to return to Danny either to finish up a sleeve or to get new pieces done. If you're looking to get a grey wash tattoo done, this is Danny's specialty and I definitely recommend

    Been wanting to get a tattoo for the longest time. When I decided to finally get one, I happen to see on social media Danny's IG profile for his tattoo business. I was extremely impressed with his amazing artwork and attention to detail. I went on Yelp to read all the great reviews and that sealed the deal for me. I emailed Danny, told him it would be my first tattoo and sent some sample pictures of what I wanted and thousands of questions to ease my mind. Danny replied back right away, answered every question and went through the whole process. Day before the appointment, Danny sent me a sketch of what the tattoo would looks like and I was blown away! The day of my appointment I was running behind working late. Danny was so accommodating and just told me to take my time getting there. I was worried that there wouldn't have enough time but Danny assured me the time block would be enough. As soon as I got there Danny right away greeted me and we started talking, putting my worries at ease. Danny showed me his workstation and went over every step of the tattoo process during the appointment. Danny made sure I was alright the whole time, asking if I needed to take breaks. All in all an amazing experience and I am still amazed at my tattoos. I have received so many compliments from family, friends and co-workers that they are now considering going to see Danny for their tattoo. I highly recommend Danny and will be coming back soon for more tattoos

    Danny is the real deal. Super talented and super professional. It's the little things that make working with him so great and won't be the last time I'll be in his shop. Looking forward to my next time in town.

    First of all, I was quite nervous and hesitant about tattoos in general and I was afraid of not getting the kind of artist that I would want to get a tattoo from. I came across Chapter Tattoo on Yelp and i could not be more happy that I chose Danny. The experience - it was nothing short of what I wanted for my first tattoo and he even agreed to work on a design that wasn't exactly his preference since it involves a lot of lines and dots lol. Danny worked on the design based on what I wanted and a couple references that I provided him and he pulled it off like a boss ! To everyone out there who are unsure of where to get their tattoos I recommend Danny. Danny's personality and work ethic will blow you away !

    Good service! Love my new tattoo. Thanks Danny!!! I would defiantly recommend this place.

It was only until I saw my cousin's portrait tattoo that I knew I found my tattoo artist at Da Wei Tattoo. There are a lot of skilled tattoo artists and then there is Da Wei. There aren't enough words to describe how talented Da Wei is. He is a unique tattoo artist; he is a creator. I appreciate how passionate Da Wei is with his work. Da Wei is not intimidating or pretentious at all, despite having so many tattoo awards! He is friendly and personable. I feel like I'm at home at his tattoo shop. As his guest, I'm a co-creator instead of another customer. Da Wei helps me translate my vision into real-life through beautiful and intricate artwork. He always goes above and beyond to research and curate and present the perfect tattoo. I love peeking inside his office to see what concepts he is working with and what he's creating next. As a creator, Da Wei is light on his fingers. He is gentle, careful, and considerate. He always makes sure that I feel comfortable and that I'm confident with his work before, during, and after my tattoo sessions. Da Wei is also communicative and transparent. Each session is like another consultation. He will let me know if something will or won't work. He also makes suggestions, but is neither pushy about it. I never regretted any of his suggestions; that's how much I trust him! Da Wei chose the perfect placement for my tattoo where I can appreciate and admire it. I love the details of each individual lily. Each lily has its own characteristics and beauty. The colors are also vibrant and compliments not only my complexion, but my personality. I had a hard time searching for a tattoo artist because flower tattoos were considered too basic. It's true; flowers are simple. Anyone can tattoo a flower, but it takes a special kind of artist like Da Wei to turn something common into something classic. The most skilled chefs are the ones who've mastered the foundational sauces. I know that my tattoo is one-of-a-kind because Da Wei created it with his vision, my vision, and personality in mind. Da Wei Tattoo is not a one stop tattoo shop, it is a gallery of lifetime artwork. You'll know what I'm talking about once you visit the shop.

However, after my first appointment was canceled, I came in for my rescheduled visit and left feeling pretty discouraged. The staff explained the risks thoroughly, but it came across less like informed consent and more like they simply didn't want to perform the piercing. I was told things like they had already turned down several people for this type of piercing, that I only had about a 30% chance of success, that it's very hard to be eligible, and that I could be left with a large mark on my abdomen. For a navel piercing--which is very common--that felt excessive and discouraging. What added to the confusion was being told that I had "the perfect anatomy" for it, yet all the guidance seemed aimed at convincing me not to go forward the more and more the conversation went the scarier it got. I was also asked to find jewelry elsewhere and come back because their gauges were too large if I still wanted the piercing done. In the end, I went to another shop and had the piercing done without issue. I can't fully recommend this place, but I also can't completely dismiss them--the experience just left a sour taste. Hopefully, fewer people walk away feeling turned down or discouraged at a shop that offers piercings..

We began with a full one-hour consultation in-person, where she really took the time to get to know my ideas. We brainstormed together, looked at different styles, and talked through what I liked and didn't like. I never felt rushed or dismissed--Jayden genuinely listened, which made me feel confident moving forward. I sent my deposit via Zelle at the end of the consult, and everything felt very smooth and organized. My tattoo was done over three sessions, spaced about a month apart to allow proper healing. Jayden made every session comfortable and enjoyable, she's such a joy to be tattooed by. You can truly tell how passionate she is about her art and her style, and it honestly feels special knowing you're giving her the opportunity to tattoo you. This piece ended up being the largest project Jayden has ever taken on, and it was also the biggest piece I've ever gotten, which made the entire experience feel even more special and truly an honor for me. The care and attention she put into it really show in the final result. I paid cash for each session, and everything was straightforward. Jayden also checked in often via text throughout the healing process and offered suggestions whenever I had questions or concerns, which I really appreciated. Also, huge shoutout to Justin, Phong, Brandon, and Thuy for being so friendly and keeping the shop energy high at every session - it really made the studio feel welcoming and comfortable. I already plan on getting tattooed by Jayden again in the next few months. If you're considering New Generation, definitely book with her.
