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 :)

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?

The studio vibe is super chill, and Shari did an incredible job making me feel totally comfortable from start to finish. She checked in throughout the session to make sure I was doing okay and asked if I needed any breaks, which I really appreciated. I also got to meet Kristina who was just as chill and welcoming. We all were chatting the whole time, and it honestly felt like hanging out with friends. Shari is incredibly talented, and the team at Kapwa Ink creates such a warm, relaxed environment. Great music, great energy, amazing artists. I seriously can't wait to come back for my next tattoo!

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!
