I served 10 years in the Marine Corps (1992-2002) but never got a tattoo.  I was always undecided on the design I wanted and this was going to be my first tattoo.  So yeeeears later I finally started looking at some Marine Corps tattoo designs.  I wanted the traditional Eagle, Globe and Anchor design.  But I also wanted to represent my Filipino heritage by adding the Filipino sun.  I brought my idea to Tony A. and he came up with a design that was perfect.  Tony is a true professional and is a down to earth guy.  My next tattoo will be a sleeve Filipino tribal design that I can't wait to get soon!  See you soon Tony and the Revere team!

HORRIBLE customer service and unprofessionalism from the owner, Tony.I'm not one to write 1-Star reviews, but the customer service at this tattoo shop, by not only an employee, but the owner deserve it.  If I could give this place 0 stars, I would.  Solely, because of the customer service.  This place is highly unprofessional, and clearly does not care about their customers.  As a tattoo artist, you're creating beautiful art on someone's body, where it will be f o r e v e r, and to be made to feel so uncomfortable by the person doing this, was a horrible experience.  I expect more from the owner of a business.I reached out to the owner to book two tattoo appointments about 24 hours in advance via yelp, to which he responded and said yes come in on Sunday and we can take you both.  On Sunday I texted the owner, Tony, before coming in to make sure my husband and I would be seen simultaneously, as to be efficient with time.  I asked if we should both come in, or if I should come in and my husband come later and he told us to both come in.  I asked this because Tony said I would be started first, and my husband's artist would come in shortly after.  Obviously, I didn't want my husband to waste his time if he needed to wait for the second person to come in, but I also didn't want to get there alone and then the second artist show up.  So, we got there and I guess they're not normally open on Sunday's, so it was just Tony.  We asked when the other guy would be coming in to start on my husband and he said 15-30 minutes.  Okay, that's not bad at all... well 30 minutes went by and he wasn't there, so Tony texted him.  At this point, 1 hour had gone by so he texted the guy again and then reassured us that he would be there soon.  Then 2 hours had gone by when this guy finally showed up to the shop, and didn't apologize about being late.  At this point, my tattoo was almost done, but instead of starting right away on my husbands, he ordered pizza, did no portion of my husband's tattoo (at this point my husband was so livid that he left and went to the car) and then after 30 minutes, the pizza arrived and Tony took a 20 minute break for lunch.  Which, by the way, he had about 10 minutes left on my tattoo when he took a lunch break.  I know this because when he came back from lunch, I was done after 10 minutes.  Therefore, a tattoo artist would know how close he was to being done, and with 10 minutes left, he should have finished my tattoo, not keep me and my husband waiting even longer.  Then Tony stated multiple times that he hoped my husband wasn't mad and that he would be discounted if he came in at another time.  Not to mention, a third tattoo artist came in during the process of waiting for the second artist, and just sat around talking to Tony for an hour whilst Tony was doing my tattoo.  Tony even stated the second artist was taking a very long time to the third artist, but the third artist did not offer to do my husband's tattoo (which, okay, he wasn't your customer so I get it, but why not provide good customer service for the shop and make some money?).  I was SOOO uncomfortable during the last 30 minutes of my tattoo appointment.  Obviously Tony knew he had fucked up, otherwise he wouldn't have repeated multiple times about my husband being upset and saying he would give a discount if he came in at a later time.  If Tony (who, bare in mind, is the owner) didn't have a confirmed second tattoo artist, he should have been up front about that, and not asked us both to come in.  He also should not have lied about when the second person was going to arrive, he should have asked the third tattoo artist who came in if he could help instead of casually implying it by making comments about the tardiness of the tattoo artist we were waiting for, and should not have taken a lunch break that close to finishing my tattoo. What makes this so much worse, is that my husband works 12 hour days and that Sunday was his only day off that week, and he spent his one day off wasting his time because of Tony not being a responsible business owner.  Secondly, I reached out to Tony 6 weeks after my tattoo appointment for touch ups because the ink bled and some of the lines were faded and I could see my skin through them.  I felt so uncomfortable, I didn't want to go back for the touch ups, but at the same time I paid for the tattoo and it would be touched up for free.  Regardless of the uncomfortableness, I reached out and he responded and said okay, but when I responded asking for his availability he ignored me and just never responded. I love my tattoo, despite the fact that I now need to go and get it touched up by a different tattoo artist, and will have to pay for that.   However, I wish I did not go to this tattoo shop because it was 120$/hour and I gave this place my hard earned money, and they did not deserve it.

I want to give a shout out to JOSH! I was feeling pretty spontaneous last night so I decided to get a tattoo. First of all they were pretty accommodating with me because I sent them a message about getting a tattoo last minute. Josh messaged me and told me that I could come in at 8. As soon as I got there he greeted me super friendly guy and we talked about what I wanted to get he took his time and made sure it was the perfect size and font. After going back and forth he called me over to his station and the inking began. I had 2 of my friends come with me for some support since I knew that placement of the tattoo was going to hurt. The whole time Josh was checking on me making sure that I was okay and he was also making conversation with my friends. By the time he was finished I was so excited to check it out and I love it. Check this place out. Super friendly vibe and professional guys!Thanks JOSH Read Less

My husband got his back tattoo by Tony about 5 years ago. We just went in yesterday to get his 2nd tattoo - a tribal on his left chest/arm. The shop has a very cool vibe to it, with Polynesian work everywhere! Being inside just gave you a cool vibe. Tony was very patient with Phil and understood everything he wanted, and incorporated it all into a tattoo. So far, we are in love with the chest piece. Phil can't wait to complete the whole thing. Tony is our permanent tattoo artist for life. He makes the tattooing process as easy and pain free, as possible. The artists in the shop also seem very cool too. Definitely check this place out if you're looking to get some good work done! Read Less

Those of you who are looking for the Polynesian/tahitian style tattoos, look no further! This tattoo shop is the place to go. I came here with 3 of my sisters to do a 'sister tattoo' bonding type of thing and Tony (the owner) was more then happy to oblige. We weren't looking for anything crazy just a simple fun tattoo we all could have as a forever thing with each other. It was all our first times and Tony was awesome enough to explain the in's and out's of everything, which calmed a lot of nerves down.  Tony & Josh tagged up and did our tattoos and we were out of there within an hour and a half. What a fun place, Tony even made popcorn for us to munch on while we waited, can't wait to see how much this place will grow! Read Less

I had a tattoo done here last Friday. Irene, who was the artist I really wanted since I saw the tattoos she's done on Yelp, is a good artist. However, I asked her to get creative with the idea of a wolf I had and she didn't really get very artistic, in fact all she did was add shading to the sketch she got off the internet or something. I had a bad vibe from her the day I went for the consultation. She seemed unhappy to see me and didn't seem happy to answer my questions. She seemed like she wasn't listening to what I wanted/what my idea was for the tattoo.I really just wanted her to get artistic and creative with the idea, which I told her multiple times, so I thought she was planning stuff in her mind while we talked and maybe that's why she seemed off. Turns out she probably just wasn't listening. Overall, I don't think I'll go back for my next tattoo.I hope this helps. Read Less

Revere exceeded my expectations for my first tattoo experience. Josh is so great at what he does! He and the other artists there did everything in their power to keep my friend and I calm (she got a quote on her spine and I got flowers on my shoulder cap). This shop has a mellow vibe and everyone there is welcoming. You can tell sterilization is key to this shop. So great.We were told to come in around 6:30-7 ish. As soon as we walked in we filled out basic paperwork and then waited to be sketched up. My friend chose the quote she wanted beforehand so she went first. Josh then formatted it in a few fonts and got one approved by my friend. It only took 20 minutes for hers to be done which meant I had to hurry and decide what flowers I wanted. As soon as I found the design and type, I sent him the picture which he then proceeded to sketch up. Josh helped me pick a place where they should be placed because I had NO idea. He started around 8 and took about an hour. Like other reviews, he has a very light hand so it did not hurt. The result was so fantastic. He gave us aftercare instructions and then we were done. Very nice artists and customers. DEFINITELY coming here and recommending to friends. This shop is great to come to for a first tattoo. Read Less

Tony is the BEST! I had to cancel my original appointment with him, and when I rescheduled, Tony was so accommodating to come in to work on my Tattoo before the studio opened up. The environment is a family Islander vibe, clean, and the decor is beautiful, the island decor carried into the bathroom. It's a family environment, Tony only had to be stern with me a couple of times telling me NOT to move. I will be back to have Tony retouch up my tattoo of my Sampaguita flower on my back right shoulder. Thanks Tony! Read Less

I got tattooed at Revere Tattoo on 8/27/2016 - and I love it!I called the day beforehand to ask if I could do a walk in the next day. They told me to come in at 7pm, so I went in that day at the time they said, and immediately all the artist at Revere Tattoo shop were super nice to me! They were all really friendly and welcoming. I was nervous as hell and had never stepped inside a tattoo shop let alone gotten a tattoo so they definitely made me feel really comfortable. Josh could tell it was my first time, so was really really great with me! He really made me feel at ease and made sure I was absolutely happy with the stencil and the placement first before we even got started! He gave me really great advise about the aftercare and only charged me $80 rather than the regular $100 since it was my first tattoo. However, I gave him a $15 tip just cos he had been SO SO nice with me! I highly recommend this tattoo shop! And if I ever get another tattoo, I'm definitely gonna go back to this shop!  Thanks for such a great first time tattoo experience Revere Tattoo shop AND Josh! You were especially great! Read Less

I had my cover up tattoo done by April. She is awesome! From the initial inquiry when I shot her an email,  I love how personable she is and insisted that I just come to the shop to discuss my idea. Overall,  she is very talented. I originally asked for a the cancer constellation but instead to use a script of a phrase that means a lot to me as the line,  she tried it on my arm unfortunately the layout didn't work out for the idea I had but she waited until I made the decision to change it up. She's super chill and easy to talk to. The tattoo came out just how I wanted it. She was quick and gentle and the quality of her work definitely shows in the outcome as well as during the healing process. Tattoo healed well and color is still vibrant and beautiful!On a side note, I also love the fact that she asked first if she could tag me on the IG photo before posting. Im already looking forward to the next tatt I'm gonna get with her! Read Less

I first heard of this place through my homegirl Jess and my cousin Christa, both their 5+ tattoos look legit, so I did not hesitate to hit this place up and of course, the Yelp reviews do not lie! I initially wanted a big piece for my first tattoo. I emailed Paulo, who's very fast at responding to your needs, super welcoming to get along with, and most importantly -- so easy to connect with. I came in and he was working on someone, but he took the time to greet me and in a few minutes sat down with me to talk about details and such. I felt like he was an open book and I could freely share my thoughts with him o my tattoo. He def took everything I wanted for my big piece and make it creative and his own. *Will post final product when finished.* Like everyone says about the shop, as soon as you walk in it's like a sense of relief, all big smiles and welcoming gestures. I felt at ease as soon as I walked in, it was comfy, really nice atmosphere to be in, and definitely calming. Now, as stated -- I came in for a consultation with Paulo, having an easy-going talk with him, made a deposit and set a date! Since I was there, I didn't want to leave bare bones, so I took the chance and asked if he had time, he didn't ... So I was referred to Matt!!!!!!! Definitely terrified, warning every one in the shop that I'd be the biggest baby they'll ever witness. The shop def made it easy for me to relax, calm down, and just made jokes to keep me laughing and sane. So shoutout to everyone that was there cause ya'll made it the best first tattoo session, ever. What I genuinely liked about Matt is he was very patient with me, I came in saying I wanted an arrow, randomly. He waited for me to look up an arrow and took his time to draw something out for me, that first blew me away because he was patient, took his time, and reassured me that this will be an easy process. He even took my baby whimpers before the session even started. Matt took his time, made me understand that this is for life and if I really wanted it, so I really appreciate a tattoo artist being that way for my first. Overall, the process was easy, and I thank Matt for making it that way. Small arrow tattoo on my collar bone, he took care of it after the process too. You're so appreciated Matt, I will come back for more small ones with you. OVERALL, I'm already in love with this place. Read Less

I'm so glad I found Revere! In preparation for getting my next piece done, I did a casual Yelp search for tattoo shops. I already had a place in mind that I wanted to go to, but I figured it didn't hurt to look around a little more. I checked out places in Hayward since I recently moved to the area and found Revered. After clicking around their website and ending up on April's portfolio, I instantly knew that I wanted to get my next tattoo from her. Right away I fell in love with her watercolor style, which was exactly what I was looking to get.I first reached out to April via Email and she was very sweet and communicative. We met in person for a consultation and I was in the shop last Friday for my first session with her. April is very easy to talk to and makes you feel very comfortable. She took all of my ideas/photos I sent her and was able to create exactly what I wanted. I wanted a shoulder cap of watercolor flowers - a rose, sunflower, and hydrangea altogether for my mom, sister, and I. I couldn't picture the three together, but she made it so beautiful together. I have my next session with her in 2 weeks and I can't wait to get it completed. On top of April being a great tattoo artist, I really like the shop itself. As soon as you walk in, you already feel welcomed and comfortable. All of the artists are very welcoming and the vibe of the shop is just so chill and nice. You definitely won't feel intimidated or like the artists are too cool here. Read Less

I couldn't have asked for a better tattoo experience or a better tattoo artist, @Josh!When I walked in for my appointment, the interior is really nice. It's well-lit and very clean, they have very soft and comfy sofa chairs in sitting area too. There were two wide screen TVs to watch and music is playing, so it's pretty easy relax.Josh was really nice and funny, I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to get a tattoo! I came in for my appointment at about 3:05pm, (and i left at about 5pm) We talked, he showed me the stencil, I loved it, and he started working on it after the stencil dried. While he was working on it, he talked to me and he made sure I was comfortable and asked me if I needed a break pretty often. It being my first tattoo, I was really nervous and didn't really know what to expect. and even though people tell you it's gonna hurt, I guess you never really know how that kinda "hurt" really feels until you actually get a tattoo and feel it. Now that I know what that pain feels like, I will say this beautiful tattoo was well worth it! I absolutely love it! Thanks to Josh for helping it go so smoothly!Even with all the nervousness and unanticipated pain that comes with getting a first tattoo, He made the experience a Great one! I will absolutely come here for my next tattoo in the future!Be sure to check him out if you are considering a tattoo here! :) Read Less

If you only want to read the first sentence of this, check out April's Instagram: inkbyaballar. Her work is amazing and speaks for itself. I decided I wanted a tattoo of Stitch holding a teddy bear colored in watercolor style and was searching Yelp for an artist when I came upon April's reviews here which led me to her Instagram. I fell in love with her work and emailed her my idea, got a quick response, and we set a date for me to come in for my consultation. I printed out some pictures to bring with me, but was shocked in the best way when April showed me a watercolor painting she did of Stitch just in preparation of my consultation! Turns out she's a big Disney fan too! I knew it was meant to be, and made my appointment for a couple weeks later. Now I initially wanted Stitch to be sitting, but a week before my appointment decided I'd rather have him standing instead. I sent her an email with a couple more pictures and she quickly responded it's not a problem. Finally, the day of my appointment came and she showed me what she came up with. She still drew Stitch both sitting and standing so I could see both options before deciding. She put in her input that standing would be better for the placement I wanted, and I agreed. Obviously getting a tattoo isn't exactly painless but she kept checking to make sure I was doing OK and said I could take a break whenever needed. It was all worth it in the end. I love it more every time I look at it. Go to April and you will not be disappointed!! Read Less

I served 10 years in the Marine Corps (1992-2002) but never got a tattoo.  I was always undecided on the design I wanted and this was going to be my first tattoo.  So yeeeears later I finally started looking at some Marine Corps tattoo designs.  I wanted the traditional Eagle, Globe and Anchor design.  But I also wanted to represent my Filipino heritage by adding the Filipino sun.  I brought my idea to Tony A. and he came up with a design that was perfect.  Tony is a true professional and is a down to earth guy.  My next tattoo will be a sleeve Filipino tribal design that I can't wait to get soon!  See you soon Tony and the Revere team!

HORRIBLE customer service and unprofessionalism from the owner, Tony.I'm not one to write 1-Star reviews, but the customer service at this tattoo shop, by not only an employee, but the owner deserve it.  If I could give this place 0 stars, I would.  Solely, because of the customer service.  This place is highly unprofessional, and clearly does not care about their customers.  As a tattoo artist, you're creating beautiful art on someone's body, where it will be f o r e v e r, and to be made to feel so uncomfortable by the person doing this, was a horrible experience.  I expect more from the owner of a business.I reached out to the owner to book two tattoo appointments about 24 hours in advance via yelp, to which he responded and said yes come in on Sunday and we can take you both.  On Sunday I texted the owner, Tony, before coming in to make sure my husband and I would be seen simultaneously, as to be efficient with time.  I asked if we should both come in, or if I should come in and my husband come later and he told us to both come in.  I asked this because Tony said I would be started first, and my husband's artist would come in shortly after.  Obviously, I didn't want my husband to waste his time if he needed to wait for the second person to come in, but I also didn't want to get there alone and then the second artist show up.  So, we got there and I guess they're not normally open on Sunday's, so it was just Tony.  We asked when the other guy would be coming in to start on my husband and he said 15-30 minutes.  Okay, that's not bad at all... well 30 minutes went by and he wasn't there, so Tony texted him.  At this point, 1 hour had gone by so he texted the guy again and then reassured us that he would be there soon.  Then 2 hours had gone by when this guy finally showed up to the shop, and didn't apologize about being late.  At this point, my tattoo was almost done, but instead of starting right away on my husbands, he ordered pizza, did no portion of my husband's tattoo (at this point my husband was so livid that he left and went to the car) and then after 30 minutes, the pizza arrived and Tony took a 20 minute break for lunch.  Which, by the way, he had about 10 minutes left on my tattoo when he took a lunch break.  I know this because when he came back from lunch, I was done after 10 minutes.  Therefore, a tattoo artist would know how close he was to being done, and with 10 minutes left, he should have finished my tattoo, not keep me and my husband waiting even longer.  Then Tony stated multiple times that he hoped my husband wasn't mad and that he would be discounted if he came in at another time.  Not to mention, a third tattoo artist came in during the process of waiting for the second artist, and just sat around talking to Tony for an hour whilst Tony was doing my tattoo.  Tony even stated the second artist was taking a very long time to the third artist, but the third artist did not offer to do my husband's tattoo (which, okay, he wasn't your customer so I get it, but why not provide good customer service for the shop and make some money?).  I was SOOO uncomfortable during the last 30 minutes of my tattoo appointment.  Obviously Tony knew he had fucked up, otherwise he wouldn't have repeated multiple times about my husband being upset and saying he would give a discount if he came in at a later time.  If Tony (who, bare in mind, is the owner) didn't have a confirmed second tattoo artist, he should have been up front about that, and not asked us both to come in.  He also should not have lied about when the second person was going to arrive, he should have asked the third tattoo artist who came in if he could help instead of casually implying it by making comments about the tardiness of the tattoo artist we were waiting for, and should not have taken a lunch break that close to finishing my tattoo. What makes this so much worse, is that my husband works 12 hour days and that Sunday was his only day off that week, and he spent his one day off wasting his time because of Tony not being a responsible business owner.  Secondly, I reached out to Tony 6 weeks after my tattoo appointment for touch ups because the ink bled and some of the lines were faded and I could see my skin through them.  I felt so uncomfortable, I didn't want to go back for the touch ups, but at the same time I paid for the tattoo and it would be touched up for free.  Regardless of the uncomfortableness, I reached out and he responded and said okay, but when I responded asking for his availability he ignored me and just never responded. I love my tattoo, despite the fact that I now need to go and get it touched up by a different tattoo artist, and will have to pay for that.   However, I wish I did not go to this tattoo shop because it was 120$/hour and I gave this place my hard earned money, and they did not deserve it.

First of all they were pretty accommodating with me because I sent them a message about getting a tattoo last minute. Josh messaged me and told me that I could come in at 8. As soon as I got there he greeted me super friendly guy and we talked about what I wanted to get he took his time and made sure it was the perfect size and font. After going back and forth he called me over to his station and the inking began. I had 2 of my friends come with me for some support since I knew that placement of the tattoo was going to hurt.

Those of you who are looking for the Polynesian/tahitian style tattoos, look no further! This tattoo shop is the place to go. I came here with 3 of my sisters to do a 'sister tattoo' bonding type of thing and Tony (the owner) was more then happy to oblige. We weren't looking for anything crazy just a simple fun tattoo we all could have as a forever thing with each other. It was all our first times and Tony was awesome enough to explain the in's and out's of everything, which calmed a lot of nerves down.  Tony & Josh tagged up and did our tattoos and we were out of there within an hour and a half. What a fun place, Tony even made popcorn for us to munch on while we waited, can't wait to see how much this place will grow! Read Less

I did a lot of research before selecting a shop and this place did not disappoint. I reached out via message and almost immediately received a response, despite it being hella late in the evening. Anyway, I let them know what I wanted, I was matched with an artist based on my vision and an appointment was scheduled all within an hour or so. Matt ended up doing my tatt and I am super happy. I still have another session to finish but he listened to what I wanted, made changes as he sketched based on my opinion, and we both were happy with the outcome. I can't wait to see what the finished piece will look like. The music selection was on point the entire time and the energy in the shop is cool because it seems more like a family vibe, they're hella funny. Read Less

I had a tattoo done here last Friday. Irene, who was the artist I really wanted since I saw the tattoos she's done on Yelp, is a good artist. However, I asked her to get creative with the idea of a wolf I had and she didn't really get very artistic, in fact all she did was add shading to the sketch she got off the internet or something. I had a bad vibe from her the day I went for the consultation. She seemed unhappy to see me and didn't seem happy to answer my questions. She seemed like she wasn't listening to what I wanted/what my idea was for the tattoo.I really just wanted her to get artistic and creative with the idea, which I told her multiple times, so I thought she was planning stuff in her mind while we talked and maybe that's why she seemed off. Turns out she probably just wasn't listening. Overall, I don't think I'll go back for my next tattoo.I hope this helps. Read Less

Revere exceeded my expectations for my first tattoo experience. Josh is so great at what he does! He and the other artists there did everything in their power to keep my friend and I calm (she got a quote on her spine and I got flowers on my shoulder cap). This shop has a mellow vibe and everyone there is welcoming. You can tell sterilization is key to this shop. So great.We were told to come in around 6:30-7 ish. As soon as we walked in we filled out basic paperwork and then waited to be sketched up. My friend chose the quote she wanted beforehand so she went first. Josh then formatted it in a few fonts and got one approved by my friend. It only took 20 minutes for hers to be done which meant I had to hurry and decide what flowers I wanted. As soon as I found the design and type, I sent him the picture which he then proceeded to sketch up. Josh helped me pick a place where they should be placed because I had NO idea. He started around 8 and took about an hour. Like other reviews, he has a very light hand so it did not hurt. The result was so fantastic. He gave us aftercare instructions and then we were done. Very nice artists and customers. DEFINITELY coming here and recommending to friends. This shop is great to come to for a first tattoo. Read Less

I first heard of this place through my homegirl Jess and my cousin Christa, both their 5+ tattoos look legit, so I did not hesitate to hit this place up and of course, the Yelp reviews do not lie! I initially wanted a big piece for my first tattoo. I emailed Paulo, who's very fast at responding to your needs, super welcoming to get along with, and most importantly -- so easy to connect with. I came in and he was working on someone, but he took the time to greet me and in a few minutes sat down with me to talk about details and such. I felt like he was an open book and I could freely share my thoughts with him o my tattoo. He def took everything I wanted for my big piece and make it creative and his own. *Will post final product when finished.* Like everyone says about the shop, as soon as you walk in it's like a sense of relief, all big smiles and welcoming gestures. I felt at ease as soon as I walked in, it was comfy, really nice atmosphere to be in, and definitely calming. Now, as stated -- I came in for a consultation with Paulo, having an easy-going talk with him, made a deposit and set a date! Since I was there, I didn't want to leave bare bones, so I took the chance and asked if he had time, he didn't ... So I was referred to Matt!!!!!!! Definitely terrified, warning every one in the shop that I'd be the biggest baby they'll ever witness. The shop def made it easy for me to relax, calm down, and just made jokes to keep me laughing and sane. So shoutout to everyone that was there cause ya'll made it the best first tattoo session, ever. What I genuinely liked about Matt is he was very patient with me, I came in saying I wanted an arrow, randomly. He waited for me to look up an arrow and took his time to draw something out for me, that first blew me away because he was patient, took his time, and reassured me that this will be an easy process. He even took my baby whimpers before the session even started. Matt took his time, made me understand that this is for life and if I really wanted it, so I really appreciate a tattoo artist being that way for my first. Overall, the process was easy, and I thank Matt for making it that way. Small arrow tattoo on my collar bone, he took care of it after the process too. You're so appreciated Matt, I will come back for more small ones with you. OVERALL, I'm already in love with this place. Read Less

I'm so glad I found Revere! In preparation for getting my next piece done, I did a casual Yelp search for tattoo shops. I already had a place in mind that I wanted to go to, but I figured it didn't hurt to look around a little more. I checked out places in Hayward since I recently moved to the area and found Revered. After clicking around their website and ending up on April's portfolio, I instantly knew that I wanted to get my next tattoo from her. Right away I fell in love with her watercolor style, which was exactly what I was looking to get.I first reached out to April via Email and she was very sweet and communicative. We met in person for a consultation and I was in the shop last Friday for my first session with her. April is very easy to talk to and makes you feel very comfortable. She took all of my ideas/photos I sent her and was able to create exactly what I wanted. I wanted a shoulder cap of watercolor flowers - a rose, sunflower, and hydrangea altogether for my mom, sister, and I. I couldn't picture the three together, but she made it so beautiful together. I have my next session with her in 2 weeks and I can't wait to get it completed. On top of April being a great tattoo artist, I really like the shop itself. As soon as you walk in, you already feel welcomed and comfortable. All of the artists are very welcoming and the vibe of the shop is just so chill and nice.

I came in for my appointment at about 3:05pm, (and i left at about 5pm) We talked, he showed me the stencil, I loved it, and he started working on it after the stencil dried. While he was working on it, he talked to me and he made sure I was comfortable and asked me if I needed a break pretty often. It being my first tattoo, I was really nervous and didn't really know what to expect. and even though people tell you it's gonna hurt, I guess you never really know how that kinda "hurt" really feels until you actually get a tattoo and feel it. Now that I know what that pain feels like, I will say this beautiful tattoo was well worth it! I absolutely love it! Thanks to Josh for helping it go so smoothly!Even with all the nervousness and unanticipated pain that comes with getting a first tattoo, He made the experience a Great one!

If you only want to read the first sentence of this, check out April's Instagram: inkbyaballar. Her work is amazing and speaks for itself. I decided I wanted a tattoo of Stitch holding a teddy bear colored in watercolor style and was searching Yelp for an artist when I came upon April's reviews here which led me to her Instagram. I fell in love with her work and emailed her my idea, got a quick response, and we set a date for me to come in for my consultation. I printed out some pictures to bring with me, but was shocked in the best way when April showed me a watercolor painting she did of Stitch just in preparation of my consultation! Turns out she's a big Disney fan too! I knew it was meant to be, and made my appointment for a couple weeks later. Now I initially wanted Stitch to be sitting, but a week before my appointment decided I'd rather have him standing instead. I sent her an email with a couple more pictures and she quickly responded it's not a problem. Finally, the day of my appointment came and she showed me what she came up with. She still drew Stitch both sitting and standing so I could see both options before deciding. She put in her input that standing would be better for the placement I wanted, and I agreed. Obviously getting a tattoo isn't exactly painless but she kept checking to make sure I was doing OK and said I could take a break whenever needed. It was all worth it in the end. I love it more every time I look at it. Go to April and you will not be disappointed!! Read Less
