    This was my first tattoo, and I was quite anxious, but after meeting Ryan, he made me feel so at ease. He was so friendly and supportive, made me laugh, and did an amazing job! What a great soul! The shop was so clean and sterile too. I love my tattoo and will think of Hawaii and meeting Ryan and the rest of the artists at Pa'u Tattoos! Mahalo!

    My Husband and I were in Oahu celebrating our 5th wedding anniversary and the honeymoon we never had!
    To commemorate our trip, we wanted to get Polynesian turtles as they signify longevity, family, protection. My husband had never had a tattoo before and was a bit apprehensive.
    We contacted Pa u tattoo and JP asked us what we were looking for and said he’d sketch some options for us. When we arrived JP had some great options for us to choose from.
    As he tattooed his art on us, each piece awoken and the end results were more than we could have hoped for. My husband and I are so happy with our art pieces and my husband’s first tattoo experience was exceptional....read full review

    Long over due review for Pa'u Tattoo, specifically for Jp. The location is easy to find, every artist there makes you feel comfortable- kind of like welcoming you into their ohana while you are there sitting in the most comfortable kind of pain. It is super clean, shout out to their apprentice. I noticed how they all want the customer leaving with the best possible piece of art. Every artist there makes their rounds to either check out the design or to just talk story. The piece Jp designed for me is beautiful. It was designed for my girls- my family. I highly recommend this location and Jp. However, any artist you get, you won't be disappointed. Mahalo 🤙
