Great place to get tattoos! Staff here here friendly the environment is welcoming. Had JJ do a spine tattoo for me and I couldn't be happier with the result.

Been coming to this shop since 2010 and it never disappoints. Freddi was able to accommodate a next day appointment for me and when i arrived, I had a change of plans as far as what I wanted to get. Without hesitation he looked at what I wanted and drew up a beautiful design. He made sure I was comfortable the entire time and took his time to make sure it came out how I wanted it. I'm very pleased with the end result and will definitely be reaching out to Freddi for future pieces! read more

Todays my birthday, all I wanted was a simple tattoo. As a single mother of 2 it's very hard for me to make time for myself. W that said I scheduled this at least a week in advance, was told the earlier the better. Set it up for 10 am. I get there no one is there. I wait outside for a bit then text him that I'm outside and he texts me back that he would be there in 45 minutes due to an emergency at 10 am ? Okay cool. Not waiting for 45 minutes outside in the cold for an appointment I scheduled in advance. this place was actually recommended to me and that just makes me laugh. Happy birthday to me. SMH read more

**This review is mainly about my tattoo experience, no clue about how well they do piercings (however, from what I can remember they do everything including dermal implants)** "A good tattoo ain't cheap, and a cheap tattoo ain't good." - anon If it weren't for my friend Bones, I would have NEVER heard of this tattoo studio. I was very impressed with their professionalism, comfortable environment, and the amazing talent that work here. The artist who did my audrey kawasaki 'allure' piece is Dennis, and he is overflowing with sheer talent with the control and expertise of an old professional. He's been doing tattoos for over 11years, split between doing them in the Philippines and here in San Jose. I was in awe with his work & not just with what he's done on my body but others' as well. My friend Bones got his tribal arm piece by him, and the detailing on it was proof that I was in very good hands. I came in around 2pm on March 1st - this was my first time coming into the shop since all the scheduling and transactions were done through Bones. To be honest, I was a little intimidated coming here alone but the warm welcome I received from the front desk helped to calm my nerves. I was directed towards the back where Dennis' station was, and the spot where we formally introduced ourselves. I showed him what I wanted, and he got down to sketching it right away while I dwindled my time looking at his previous sketches and art work on the walls. To kill time, we exchanged superficial information (i.e. So how long have you been married? Where did you find the drawing for this? Is there a huge difference between your customers here and the ones from Philippines?). The other artists & employees in the studio were very kind, almost bordered on chivalric actually, and were super entertaining, which I thoroughly enjoyed being part of. I learned quite a few things while I laid there getting ink in my skin. A crowd gathered around, too, while he was working on me, so I wouldn't be surprised if people had some sort of 'upskirt' photo of me floating around the interwebs. However, that's the nature of having a tattoo positioned so close to your nether regions. My artist was thoughtful enough to cover me up as best as he could, so I'm not too worried about whatever photo-op my derriere may have participated in. So where did I decide to get this tattoo done on my body? I chose my thigh, mainly on the upper part of my right thigh. I have to admit though, the process of getting tattooed on that part of my body was more uncomfortable than painful. It wasn't until I got home and took off the bandage (or rather plastic saran wrap w/ masking tape for adhesive) after an hr+ did i really feel anything remotely resembling pain. It was insanely sensitive towards the TOP where the geisha's hair accessories are which contained a lot of tiny detail work (picture here: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/cITQxSomprY1sNy5L764Ig?select=ZBN93mxLj1-g4P_RBULC2g). After Dennis finished, I went straight for the mirror and doted on the fresh ink on my skin. It was instant LOVE at first sight! Though this review is based only on the outline that Dennis has done, I can already tell the rest of his work on this tattoo will be amazing. I am definitely coming back for the rest of the colors and details and updating this review with a bigger and better photo for everyone to see. Thank you for the pleasant experience! Underground Creations is truly as good as it gets! read more

This is another one of Darius' shops. Just got another piece done by him. Had him re-do one of my other "bad" tattoo's. It's my dead sister's name, and he tweeked it and turned it into a masterpiece! I am so happy with my artwork. Darius is A-W-E-S-O-M-E. If you want real nice work done, hit him up! Call in advance cause he does have a lot of appointments, but he'll NEVER rush you. He spends a lot of TLC on each piece he does. This place is a lot bigger than "Da Undaground" on Story Rd. They have a flat screen TV if you want to watch movies or music videos to take your mind off the pain. ABsolutely comfortable and friendly environment. read more

I had called multiple places looking for a Tattoo the same day. Theresa was quick and efficient when answering the phone. I arrived an hour later. I was a little skeptical when I first walked in to see my tattoo artist Jay Jay but he quickly changed that perception with his professionalism. He broke down all my options. Giving me different designs and placement to put my new masterpiece. Once in the chair Jay Jay was both light on the pen and really made me feel at home. Definitely recommending him to anyone looking to get a tattoo done down town San Jose. Also got to meet the owner Darius who was very welcoming and from what I could tell put together a great team of artist that all vibe well together. read more

Shout out to Rain. Thank you so much for getting the panda tattoo done. Rain can be reached on Instagram (@rainztattooz).

This is the fourth tattoo in a year from them and honestly Ill never go anyway else. Super friendly guys that always make me and my girl feel very comfortable. read more

This was my first time coming here by recommendation for Dee. Totally dope guy who knows his stuff with tattoos. I came in showing him what I wanted to put together and he helped me find the right design and put in his ideas to make it better. He was very nice and held conversation throughout the session - always making sure you were doing okay and walking through what he was doing. All the artists are friendly and very good at what they do. The shop is kept clean too. The location is in a tricky spot to find and parking isn't great either so you may have to walk a little but all in all it's not that big of a deal. Definitely will return - this was my first major detailed/big piece and I'm very impressed and in love with how it turned out! read more

Done by Chono. Super nice and genuine man , and he made my experience very welcoming . Nothing but laughs and great vibes for each session I came into.

He never rushed the process and his rates were reasonable. He was accommodating with how much I was able to afford each session and worked with me .

I won't go there again. One of the employees got done sweeping up and was getting ready to leave when he made the comment, "I'm going to drive high". This was just after some conversation about marijuana. I'm not being over sensitive or passing judgement on someone who wants to smoke a joint. But to brag and do something as reckless as that was stupid. If you go there don't even dare to look in the customer's bathroom. Absolutely disgusting. read more

OMG!!!!! I got recommended to CHONO for a COVER UP. He did such an amazing job that i am so grateful for him to do.

Thanks again CHONO! ill b back for more! read more

Just got my tattoo done today by Rick. He did a very awesome job, and was very fast! Would definitely recommend him! read more

First of all, amazing work from the artists working here. I started going to Ike last year from a friends recommendation and I haven't gone anywhere else since. In the last 8 months I have gotten 4 pieces done by Ike. He has also done 3 of my best friends. We all have different taste and he has been amazing at visualizing what each of our styles are and brings his art work to life on our skin. I have yet to recommend any other place thus far. I haven't gotten anything done from Chono, but I have seen his work done first hand and is also very versatile with the work he does. Both are very detail oriented and professional. The atmosphere is very open and easy going, and the personalities in the shop aren't overbearing like I have experienced in other locations. The small staff is a definite plus. I felt comfortable from the beginning and have yet to have a bad experience. Another plus is they do not overcharge just because they can. Their goal is not to take advantage of people, it's to give them exactly what they asked for and to leave happy. The area and shop is clean and there's great Mexican food right next door for you to spend your time if you're waiting for a sketch to be done. They don't waste your time either! Tip these guys well! Their work definitely deserves it. read more
