Best Tattoo Shops In Hilo

“What a great experience! Tristan is talented and kind, taking the time to talk through every step of the process and making sure we had all the information we needed about the piercing process and aftercare. The shop is small, but super clean and has a great energy and vibe.“

“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“

“Amazing experience. Mike is a phenomenal artist and a cool dude. He brings great energy and aloha vibes. Absolutely stoked on my tattoo. 10/10. Would recommend

Requested style: Mike took my idea and designed an amazing piece of art.“

“Tyler did an incredible job on my gecko! The shop atmosphere and experience was great as well. Absolutely love this piece and couldn't be happier. Thank you!“

“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. You can see the ocean from her studio. She offered me the most amazing apple flavored Matcha, green tea and snacks. I really felt like she cared about me as a person and not just another tattoo she was doing. I wish I lived closer because I’d be getting tattooed several times a year by her if you’re in the area and you have the time I definitely recommend her.“

“I highly recommend the tattoo artist FRANK. Professional, great quality and friendly.“

“George was great to work with on our first (!!) tattoo. Prices are reasonable. The work room was neat and clean and well lit. Overall a great experience for a couple of newbies!“

“Finally, a haircut that feels and looks amazing! As someone with fine, difficult-to-cut hair, I’ve had plenty of negative experiences with short cuts in the past. Taty completely turned that around today. She is talented, patient, and truly cares about the end result. The private, one-chair environment is such a nice touch. I highly recommend booking an appointment if you want someone who actually takes the time to assess your hair and deliver a great cut.“

“Bro does excellent work. He stays focused on what he’s doing and add some personal touches that make your tattoo unique.“

“Love the quality and service provided! I felt at home and was treated very kindly by John and his wife Rae. The atmosphere was relaxing and the "talk story" was great!“
