“Transmuted (Pashia) was incredibly sweet, accommodating, and talented! A light hand and kind voice! Such a great experience!“

“Found this place on our honeymoon, we called and got set up with their artist Kahanu. We texted him my wife and I’s tattoo ideas and he confirmed his pricing and availability. We got here and he was the nicest, easy going guy. He recommended some good placements and better designs to incorporate what I really wanted. Really seemed like he optimized the time to do something awesome for us ! Nice and clean studio, church music playing and very nice staff. Can’t say enough good things about our artist Kahanu and the studio ! Thanks a ton.“

Josh is an amazing artist and idid and amazing job on both out tattoos, we will definitely be coming back, best shop in the Island.“

“We found Bee Inked after having a very pushy encounter with another artist in town. This was our teenage son's first tattoo. Emily never tried to make his design her own, but offered advice and was patient with questions. We appreciated her suggestion to make the font thinner and more spaced, to maintain the design for longer. Her relaxed manner kept my son distracted as she worked and they chatted about music. The finished product is very crisp and just as he wanted. Thank you also for the medical-grade wrap which kept the new tattoo securely covered during our travel home. While Emily was working, we shared experiences with a couple who showed up unhappy with another shop. Sure enough, Emily's respect for the customer (and general peacefulness) won them over too. We are big fans!“

“Absolutely love Dave! Being around him is an experience in itself! We love our art from him so much we’ve visited twice! First tune in 2022 and back to visit again in 2025! Thank you Dave for the unforgettable experience! We’ll be back!!!!“

Whom happeneds to be celebrating her 50th wedding anniversary and is completing a vow renewal. We all got matching writing tattoos.

I got a teal green/blue cursive font only. Grandmother got matching font and writing with an added turtle and flower. Best friend got the dame word and font and added flower. We also purchased some family woven bracelets made by one of our artists and his daughter.Requested style: Asked for an exact word and font and showed a picture.
