From start to finish, this was the most amazing tattoo experience I’ve ever had. I was stopping in Hilo for just a few hours while taking a cruise. I wanted a simple Line art tattoo so I started doing some research on artists in the area. I came across Desi‘s page and fell in love and knew I needed more than just some simple line art. She was flexible with me and the time I had available. She designed a custom piece that I am absolutely obsessed with. The studio was clean and beautiful she has thought of every cute little detail.

The tattoo shop is so amazing! It’s like walking into a huge toy shop. It’s private, just you and her. She supplies snacks and drinks for all of her clients. At the shop she lets you choose from tv to video games to keep yourself busy.I absolutely love her! Her art is absolutely beautiful and I love being able to wear all of my tattoo cute babies.

Desi at TattooCute did an amazing job on my 80’s theme sleeve! Her creativity, color work, and attention to detail are incredible—she really understood my nostalgic vision and brought it to life perfectly. Every element feels intentional and so well done.
Her shop is super fun and colorful and the whole experience was relaxed and enjoyable. Having the TV to watch made it easy to settle in, and Desi herself made the entire session a fun time. If you’re looking for a talented artist who creates a comfortable, enjoyable experience and delivers beautiful work, I highly recommend her.
Thanks Desi!
