    OMG, just got tatted by Lex at South Seas tattoo. I must say, she did an amazing job and it didn’t take her long at all. I am in Hilo on vacay and cheated on my tattoo artist in my state, but shoutout to Lex for being professional and making sure everything was sized and looked great before she started and I approved. I told her what I wanted and she came up with the best Cardinal tattoo that fit great in the space. Thanks again Lex #GoSeeLex #YesLex

    My boyfriend and I booked appointments in advance to be tattooed on the same time during our vacation. I had Mia for a fine line tattoo and my boyfriend had Matt for a tribal tattoo. They both were friendly and did an amazing job.

    I had a great experience at South Seas. I walked in and Lex was able to tattoo me the next day. I wanted to get a tattoo of a native bug species and she worked with me to pick out the Koa bug, endemic to Hawai’i. She was so kind to me and my family and I will never forget the experience.
