I had my first neck tattoo with Tyler, and I honestly can't thank him enough. Il ove the art piece he did on my neck. The guy takes pride in his work. Tyler will work with you to make sure you're happy with the design & placement plenty of times before he begins. He's a really kind-hearted person. I highly recommend him.

Heroes get remembered. But legends never die. Shoutout to the State of Grace team! Been a fan of their work and their impact to the tattoo/San Jose community. For anyone interested in getting their first tattoo, do the REAL research, find your artist/shop, and befriend Pain. Can’t wait to see how far this shop will go in making an impact to such a strong and passionate community. #JapantownSJ #supportlocal #stateofgrace

This place is simply great. The waitlists for artists are long but for very good reason. I will never go anywhere else for tattoos ever again. The artists are very friendly and accommodating. The staff in the front are always welcoming and helpful.

They excel at taking care of their patrons and taking a great deal of pride in their work. I love the tangible camaraderie that is felt when you're in there, which is visible with guest artists as well. The visuals and the vibes in the studio are spectacular and make you realize instantly that you chose the right place. Staff were also very cognizant of the pandemic and performed additional sterilization techniques to high frequency areas, as well as wearing masks while working. Not being from the area, I had to do a little more coordination to schedule my appointment, but Taki was very patient and accommodating and came up with a date and time slot that worked for us both.
