Tattoo Shops near Kapolei

“I got an ear piercing here and the experience was very good. The work was quick and it looks exactly how I wanted it to.“

“I had such a fantastic experience getting my nose pierced by Kamaile! 💕 She made me feel so calm and comfortable, while also making me excited to get my nose pierced again. The pain was honestly only about a 3/10! She was quick, gentle, and made the whole process so easy.

We even had such a lovely conversation afterward, which made the experience even better. My piercing has healed perfectly, and the placement is exactly what I wanted. She made sure it was symmetrical with my other nose piercing, and I absolutely love how it turned out!

I definitely recommend Kamaile at Sacred Art if you’re looking for someone who is gentle, precise, and makes you feel comfortable throughout the whole experience. 🩷✨“

“Jordan is the artist you want. My first piece he did for me was very meaningful to me and he knocked it out of the park, so I had to go back. My second piece he did for me was all traditional Hawaiian and he put together something amazing that really means something and is powerful, I will be going back .“

“Got my ears pierced here today, it was super quick and easy!! I was surprised since it was my first piercings, and they were actually almost painless!! Very friendly customer service, can't wait to eventually come again!!!!!!!“

“Was on a quick work trip to Hawaii with limited free time. Took a chance and asked my tour guide for a recommendation and he immediately said @mahalomartin at Beholder Tattoo was a good friend of his and wouldn’t send people anywhere else. That Monday evening I reached out to him. By Wednesday I was paying the deposit for a Friday morning appointment,. Just hours before my appointment, I asked could anyone in the shop fit my friend in as well, if not no big deal. Rather than ignore the last minute request or treat it like an inconvenience, he found one of his coworkers to fit her in. From the minute I messaged him, Martin was nothing but professional and responsive. . Zero attempt to price gouge just because I was a tourist (unlike a different artist my friend had tried to book with prior to us getting there). Any nervousness I felt going to a shop in a state I wasn’t from, by an artist I didn’t know, went out the window the minute I met him in person. Big smile, immediately introduced himself, complimented my existing tattoos, and made easy conversation. He double checked that I was happy with the design, explained what he was going to do, asked which colors I preferred, got permission before taking any photo or video, asked if I was okay through the process, answered the shop apprentice questions and taught him without patronizing him. I was beyond impressed. On top of that, the shop was clean, every staff member was friendly, the music and conversation was super entertaining, and the overall vibe made me feel like I was genuinely welcome, and I wasn’t just another dollar being made. I felt so comfortable that I almost fell asleep. We weren’t rushed out, we weren’t dismissed as soon as the work was done. There was friendly conversation after, sharing stories, and joking around. As many times as i thanked Martin for his work and hospitality, he thanked me more for trusting him to showcase his work on me. I came home with a beautiful permanent piece of art to commemorate my trip. I’m so thankful. Martin is an amazing artist, and I promise, if I make it back out to O’ahu I will ABSOLUTELY be getting inked by him again. 10/10 recommend!! @mahalomartin @beholdertattoo“

“Ended up getting a tattoo with Jc. I’m very specific on how I like my tattoos but found him on instagram and seen his work was phenomenal and wanted to give him a shot! Definitely one of the best tattoo artist out in Hawaii hands down if you guys come out here and looking for a tattoo definitely tap in with him he’ll get you right!!“

“Benz was super nice and helped me pick out a really good placement of what I wanted, and it came out better than I imagined!! Thank you TNT!!!“

“Sarah was very attentive to my needs and wants. Always made sure I was comfortable, relaxed, and happy with her work. Pricing was very fair and affordable. Space was clean, smelled nice, and comfortable. 10/10 really enjoyed my experience“

“Very nice and friendly. Will definitely go to them again! Helped with tat designs, got what I wanted and it was perfect!“

“Amazing shop , great work by Nolan, super friendly artist and a great expirence. Thank you.“

“Piercer was super nice, made my feel super safe and answered any questions I had. Super fast and light handed <3“

“1000/10. Absolutely amazing and stunning. Karly is the absolute best!!! I’ve had two pieces done with her so far! Both have been perfect! Did some line work song lyrics from my favorite artist, and then someone dear to me later. She remembered months in-between about my favorite artist, and put that music on during my next session??? Incredible!! Her work is beautiful and unmatched! I prefer minimalistic style, and even though her main is super realistic, she did the minimalistic ones perfectly! She didn’t start on either tattoo until she knew I was perfectly happy with each one, and made little tweaks here and there day of, to make sure I was happy. The actual tattoo office is beautiful, clean, homy, and comfy. Super relaxing sitting looking out the window at the rail going by while getting tattooed. Tattoos hold up nicely over time, and one free touch up afterwards. Amazing!! Thank you!!“

“I love this place, because the staff is so nice and they are willing to work with you. The appointments are so easy to book, and it will be my third time going to this place. I got my first tattoo here, and now I’m getting my third ?. Highly recommend.“

“Fantastic little shop. Sandy was so kind, I came in looking for jewelry to go in my nose piercing, she helped me look at different options and pick out pieces that were just my style. She was so sweet and personable. Locally owned with GREAT prices. FYI, they take cash and Venmo, not card (however you do have to pay a little extra for Venmo, so bringing cash is a good idea). Mahalo Sandy!“

“Always the most best and comfortable experience ever. Mama Sin was s the only tattoo artist that I visit because she is the very BEST!!! Accept no other substitute(s). Honorable Uncle Steve is also 5 stars.“

“Honestly a great shop. Real clean building and great atmosphere. They got a dude that cuts hair named Kiawe, he'll get you right. I left looking cool as a fan. Finally i can high five people without getting beat up, thanks Kiawe!“

“Convenient location, lots of parking, the artist nick is busy but if you can get an appointment I highly recommend. He did a great job on my first tattoo ??“

“Oscar is amazing. I asked him to design a tattoo that would represent my grandbaby and I. The session lasted 7 hours, and it was well worth it. The outcome is beautiful. I will definitely go back and have more work done.

Cleanliness: Oscar made sure the area was really clean. He sanitized his work area. He kept his hands clean and used sanitizer.“

“I have been needing a haircut for quite awhile now and decided to walk in to check this place out. Luckily, Estell said she had an opening for me in 20 min since she had a cancellation. I showed her a pic of what I wanted. She took her time washing my hair, cutting, and styling my hair. She is also so sweet and friendly. We had a nice conversation during the whole process . I love how she made my hair look so healthy and added volume to my thin hair. Definitely request for Estell if you get the chance. She's the best! If I wasn't moving off island, I would definitely come back! Thank you Estell for your awesome service!“

“MoMo did a tat on me 11 yrs ago in Brooklyn & I am STILL getting compliments!! Best session ever…the team was really nice & professional. No one else will do another tat on me but she or someone else on the team.

Hoping I can get there for my bday later this year & do more! Highly recommend!“

“I wanted to get a tattoo of the Linkin Park symbol because their music has been getting me through tough times. I have always been a fan of them since Hybrid theory the album. Anyway, I was seen by Rich who is an amazing artist that brought my tattoo to justice lol He did everything by the book and even explained the process since it's been a long time since I had my first one. He was nice and I had to fill out a form waiver. There was a television playing movies and it was loud enough for you to hear. The instruments are now quiet and don't buzz like before as I remembered them. The inside was sterilized to make sure that there's no contamination. Located on the second floor upstairs. There's plenty of parking available. I would definitely come back if I wanted another tattoo done. Highly recommend. By the way, Rich told me they may move locations soon because the property is privately owned by a company.“

“Owners were pretty funny and cool. Paid $80 each for walk in finger tattoo , good parking easy to find.“

“Worked with Tripps on a custom design with a short turnaround. He made it happen and made sure I left happy. Really nice guy and I'll be referring my network to him!“
