Water can really do a number on the back of mirrors. If you don’t really seal them good from any moisture it is only a matter of time and they will start to turn black. The crack between each tile can let in water as well as at the bottom.
Based on my own experience, I would not put any mirror tiles near the sink.
1. I agree with the possible problems outlined by oil field trash (great nick)
2. If anyone asks, I DIDN’T help do a MIRROR tile installation
3. You could grout with a colored (or clear) silicone caulk to avoid the problems noted above (see 1). Use a very fine tip hole to get a minimum of caulk spread while gunning it out. Use rags and mineral spirits to get a smooth line and clean off the tiles.
