Tattoo culture is another staple of San Jose’s art scene, with dozens of shops that reflect the city’s diversity. 

Studios emphasize different styles, including but not limited to: traditional Japanese work at State of Grace, Polynesian stylings at Humble Beginnings, Chicano-style work at Blacksuit Tattoo, contemporary tattooing at Floating House, and American traditional at Holy Scythe and Current Tattooing.
