Best Tattoo Shops In Hilo

“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.“

“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.“

“Wonderful experience. The only place to get pierced professionally in Hilo and well worth it. Tristan knows what he is doing and is so friendly and down to earth. A friend of mine has also had multiple beautiful tattoos done by him and I highly recommend. Great, impeccably clean and inviting space.“

“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!“

“Love how she did my tattoo she took her time and she was patient with me and kept asking me if I was okay I love my tattoo she did for me I might go back“

“Brandon did my very first tattoo and it came out amazing! It's been over 12 years and it's never faded!“

“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!“

“Taty is great. Not sure why I haven’t left a review before. I like that I can make an appointment online. She’s very communicative via text if there are any issues with the appointment time. She’s got one chair in a little room which is great for me and my mild social anxiety lol. She’s very nice, always super cheerful, and it makes the experience really comfortable and chill. She did a great job when I kept my hair short, and she also did a great job helping blend the length when I decided to start growing it out. She’s very knowledgeable and I trust her to give me a cut that looks good with my face shape and texture of my hair. Totally recommend.“

“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!“

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