I just finished getting my first tattoo (simple wrist tattoo of a date written in Mayan numerals) here and I could not have expected my first tattoo experience to have gone any better. The work was done with the utmost professionalism and respect. Kudos to Tony Silva for ensuring the customer's experience is as important as the tattoo being done. He ensured that I was comfortable and made sure I knew what to expect. He checked with me several times to ensure the tattoo design, position, and size were exactly as I wanted em. And the place itself was well kept, clean, and organized. Tony's station set up was as pristine as any tattoo parlor's I could expect. I'm considering getting another tattoo and can't see why I'd consider any other parlor except for if the tattoo style didn't match their artists' specialties. 10/10 would recommend! read more

I found this place a year ago and not only did I get one tattoo I've gotten 6 here and my daughter too. The quality of work from Tony is amazing he's very professional and punctual with very reasonable prices. The vibe is always good here especially with the music he plays! I recommend this place to anyone looking for good art work. read more

Silva's Tattooing - Most of my art on my leg is from Silvia's tattoos. - Tattoo Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Set up an appointment with, I think his name was Tony, I requested for a tattoo of my mom's name on my back at the top right. Immediately, the atmosphere was really welcoming, Tony had great taste in music. Overall, it was my first tattoo and was scared it'd hurt but I hardly felt a thing! Tony's hand was really steady and it was done really well and efficiently! 10/10 recommend. read more

Shady business practices. It's ok for the business not to respond for a few days to a text message. But if you don't respond right away to a text message, then your deposit is canceled, not refunded, and you have to put down another deposit. read more

My heart tattoo is honestly horrible. I should have known it was gonna be horrible when I saw he was drawing on my skin with a pen. It's really uneven. The lines are different. Badly shaped. The bottom of the heart looks like someone drew it on with sharpie and it smudged. I am really gonna have to pay for someone to redo this!!!! read more

Clarissa is DOPE (maybe Carissa, I'm so sorry if I got your name wrong!). I called beforehand to make sure that it wasn't too busy. They check temp and everything before bringing you back, and everything is super clean and sterilized. My earlobe bled a little more than usual (I'm always a bleeder though) and the piercer was very calm and said that if it kept bleeding she would pull the needle. Very professional and always keeping the health of my piercing her top priority. I really admired her technique and communication. Really pleased with my piercing. Be aware that they only take cash or Venmo. read more

I would recommend going to a different tattoo shop or else you may risk getting a bad tattoo and having to spend more money just to get it fixed. I came her on Friday the 13th. Thought it would be fun. When I first got there, there was a long wait, which was a given, we decided to wait. Front desk lady wasn't the friendliest but whatever, I was trippin. Anyways, we finally got called and walked to the back and it was dirty - that should have been my first red flag warning. It was really messy and things all over the floor. I got two tattoo from the special. The lines are so uneven and the other was suppose to be solid black and it's not. It's bad. I have to go get it filled in by someone else now. I'm embarrassed to show it anyone. And I have plenty of other tattoos. The tattoo artist was nice but def needs some work to give better tattoos. read more

After reading great reviews on yelp, I went to Silva's Tattooing to inquire about the cost of tattooing an image of a wing. The artist was free and told me that the image was simple and could be done in less than an hour. This was my first tattoo, and I was super excited to get one right away, especially when the other stores I called had put me on a waiting list. Sharing my concerns below: My tattoo was nowhere close to what I wanted. Added the image. Within 40 days, the ink started to fade in several places, making it even more bothering. My mistake: I should have checked the design when it was printed on my wrist. My mistake was to trust the artist. When I went again to see what could be done, he told me that it was my mistake to trust him and I should have closely checked the design when it was printed on my wrist. He also asked me why I wanted to have the same tattoo I shared and what he made was different and better. I would have happily accepted it, but the problem is that I asked for a wing, and he made a badminton shuttlecock, which looks like a dog paw from some angle. My design was straightforward and yet was a big mess. Even worse, the ink was erased from here and there within 40 days. He offered to fix the erased parts. However, he couldn't do anything to fix the design. I asked him for a refund, which he refused. I was charged $120 and paid $140, including the tip. Now I am paying double to have this tattoo removed. I will not recommend this place. read more

I've been coming to this location before it became Silva's Tattooing for King Leon. The most recent work I got was in honor of my mom and King nailed it! He took my description and drew it out better than I had visualized. He takes his time, is patient and always makes sure you're taken care of. I plan to add more to this particular piece and know I can go in to a shop of good vibes and good music. read more

I've been putting off my review for a while and let me to you!!!! I came here to get the other side of my nose pierced. The piercer Karissa/Carissa was nice and all smiles when my cousin and I walked in. We signed everything we had to blah blah blah. I go up first to pierce my nose. she's SUPER shaky and goes so slow to put the needle through and pierce my nose which is ridiculous. Thanks to her it was hurting even more than it should've and was bleeding a lot. The nose stud jewelry she used was cheap and it was literally sticking out out my nose like a long fishing hook it was bullshit. I didn't take a picture but i'll insert a similar picture from google. I look at it in the mirror and assume she's gonna cut the wire a bit or bend it but was I wrong. She seriously was gonna leave it like that!!! I go out to show my cousin and she's in shock and mad that karissa is really gonna leave my piercing like that. I go back and ask her to take it out because I look fucking ridiculous. My cousin seen my piercing disaster and didn't get hers done because of this. Karissa had a snarky and rude ass attitude acting like a know it all. I left with a bloody hole in my nose(obviously no piercing) AND SHE STILL MADE ME PAY 60$!!!!!! Fucking ridiculous!!!!!!!! I'll never be coming here again and I wish I didn't waste my money for a service I didn't even get. Completely unprofessional. read more

Awful experience here. Got a nose piercing and the pierced messed it up completely. She caused trauma to my nose by not piercing it correctly. Also charged me over $160 for the piercing, jewelry and to get stuff to heal my nose. Shady. read more

Silva's Tattoo offered by far the best customer service. Not only did Silva go the extra mile and squeezed us in last second since The Vale tattoo shop left us waiting for 30 minutes outside their door with no answer. Silva went above and beyond to design the exact idea I was thinking of. The entire staff was very comforting ..not to say they made me as calm as possible since this was my first tattoo! He checked up on me every couple minutes to see if I was doing okay and played awesome music. I would definitely recommend Silva's tattoos if you're looking for a badass tatoo read more

Got a tattoo from Alex Corona back in January of 2018. It's a beautiful rose on my left arm below my elbow, about the size of my palm. He was very accommodating of my low pain tolerance and was willing to use a lighter hand even though it took longer and I needed breaks. Conversation flowed well while he worked, and he had great jokes which helped me relax. It healed beautifully, the color pops, and 6 months later it still looks great. I definitely am looking forward to getting more from him in the future. read more

This is the most shady business I have come across. Given that this is a tattoo and piercing shop, this concerns me. A few months back, I got my navel and ear pierced. The piercer here did NOT give me adequate aftercare instructions. She was very sweet when I came in that day. However, when the ball in my earring came out and I took the earring out, I came back to get it re-pierced. Not only did she charge me the same amount to get it done, she did not even try to put something through the hole to check if it was still open. She was rude and blamed me for taking it out (I didn't know it would close so fast) instead of acknowledging she should have screwed the ball on tighter. After getting a second opinion, I found out that my navel piercing was far too shallow and at risk of ripping out. I also realized that the jewelry was very cheap and other businesses would have used better quality jewelry AND charged me half the price!! This is the most overpriced piercing place, and I wish I had known before wasting my money on a bad job. I called the shop to seek a refund. The piercer was rude and defensive on the phone, and the owner refused to reimburse me. He kept on citing the same reasons and did not seem to care about the fact that I was ripped off. $160 is more important to the business than their customers' satisfaction. They could have attempted to make the wrong right, but they didn't even try. I feel misled by Silva's and will never be returning. I highly discourage anyone else from going here as I don't want other people to have a similarly terrible experience. Needless to say, I'm extremely upset (I need that $160!!!). Don't go here! Also, when I post a negative review on Facebook, try to refrain from getting your customers/followers from bullying me :) very professional read more

Got my nose and ear pierced here by Karissa, and she did an amazing job. I was probably in the shop for 30 minutes max and she was super friendly, cool and informative! 5 stars no doubt! will be coming back! read more

This was the worst Friday the 13th flash sale ever! I literally had to wait six hours for a small, game controller tattoo and I couldn't be any more upset and annoyed. I had a group of friends with me and they all got their tats before I did. I don't know how I had the patience to wait that long. People that came in after we did got service faster. I don't think I am coming back here again. This is my second time coming here. They tell you a time of wait and it is not even reliable. read more

Have had a couple tattoos here. The artist I seen was great. However I find it uncomfortable having the owner and his family in the back. Peeking out every now and then. Eavesdrop much? Owner isn't professional read more

Tony and Adrian are great. I have been in twice for tattoos and both of them were responsive and easy to work with. I am very happy with the results. Thank you to Tony and Adrian! read more

Hi I highly recommend going and getting pierced by Carissa. She was quick, efficient and very helpful, she even helped me figure out how to use Venmo for the first time ‍‍. I just walked in, no appt made and she was able to get it done, second nose piercing. super excited and happy! read more

Carissa pieced my nostril about a month ago and it has been healing quite well. She's super dope and funny and makes you feel relaxed and like family. I've also gotten four tattoos from here as well. Only great experiences from Silva's. 10/10 would recommend. read more

I had my ear pierced by Carissa before a Hawaii trip. Unfortunately for me the stud came off and the piercing got closed on my flight back. I went back and Carissa checked it and made sure she put in a new stud. She is fantastic. She is very friendly and cannot thank her enough. read more

DEFINITELY WILL BE BACK! Went in this evening for a cover up tattoo, didn't think it would be easy, boom Tony had it done soo fast, almost painless, like it was hella chill. Great choice in music guys! Sorry for my thigh sweat on your stool, my bad lol. U guys are bad ass and made for a great experience. Ur awesome sauce read more

I walked in for a behind the ear tattoo with one of my friends. Tony helped my friend and I with what we wanted and he did a great job. Shop is clean and we got the tattoos exactly as we wanted them. He also did me a solid in touching up a tattoo I had done previously elsewhere. I'll definitely be coming back and would recommend Tony. read more

One of the best experiences I've had at a tattoo parlor hands down. King Leon was quick to attend to my needs and also had some great ideas to add to my drawling I brought in. It came out better than I expected and would definitely recommend his work to my family and friends. Thanks again!! read more

The piercer pierced the wrong place on my ear?!! (rook instead of daith) She did not give me any instructions for aftercare. Also, the ball on my piercing came off, on both sides. I had to go to a completely different shop to get it fixed. Do not go here unless you want to waste your money on inexperienced piercers and cheap jewelry. read more

Quiet but homey vibes at this nice little corner tattoo shop. I've been here twice and am very impressed with the thought and effort put into each and every single piece of art Alex has tattooed on my body. I've had a lightning bolt and rose done by him. Each time I went, he prioritized intricacy, feasability, and beauty of the design over speed of service. My first session, Alex stayed nearly two hours after they were closed just to finish the tattoo he was working on. It was my first and I could sense he absolutely took his time to deliver a quality tattoo. Having an invaluable tattoo artist like Alex at the shop makes me an incredibly happy customer and I will definitely be coming back! read more

I will never go back to this tattoo shop. I went in Friday the 13th because they were having sales going on with some tattoos. Ofcourse there was a very long wait, I already assumed that, I didn't mind waiting. After about 5 hours they finally called me saying I was up next. I don't remember the tattoo artist name but he was stationed in the far left corner of the shop. All I water was a small rose under my wrist. I got that and more! I got the tattoo and about a week later my Tattoo started to get irritated. And keep in mind, my arms are covered in tattoos, I know how to maintain a new tattoo. It's been about 2 months since I got the tattoo and it looks like total crap. It scared my wrist and the tattoo is all light, there are bumps all around the tattoo and is completely embarrassing. I don't want to wear short sleeves in public anymore, that's how bad it is. I would not recommend going to this shop because obviously they don't care about there customers! Using unsanitary needles. Horrible experience. I'm afraid to get another tattoo because of this experience. read more

By far one of the most unprofessional tattoo shops in the area. To start off the staff is very rude! The new owners need to learn how to treat their business when it walks in the door. Don't come here, take your money else were. read more

I've been getting tattooed by Alex for a few years now. When I first started having him do my artwork, I had some work by previous artists that was not only bad, it was downright embarrassing. Alex has spent an immense amount of time, energy, thought, care and passion into fixing, covering (he's covered almost a half sleeve on me and then some) and perfecting just about everything that made me embarrassed and insecure. Not only is he an awesome artist (I get complimented daily on his work!!!), but he's extremely professional, kind, genuine, will make you feel very comfortable (this is huge for me: I have encountered many skeezy artists and many downright rude ones), and he's constantly spending most of his free time learning, reading and doing everything he can to be an even better artist. I am not only proud to wear his work, but I'm proud to refer him whenever I can. read more

Wonderful work, really great employees. All tattooist are very talented. I've got tattooed both by Ernesto and Tony and both of they're work is extremely fine and precise! Definitely my go to shop for all my future ink! read more
