Best Tattoo Shops In Kailua Kona

“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.“

“I came off a cruise ship hoping to get a tattoo on my first trip to Hawaii.. walked into Voodoo Tattoo and met Lions. He is the coolest, nicest, most down to earth artist. I ended up getting a small "Al?ha" on my wrist, to take the aloha way of living home with me. While we were there his wife and children came to the shop and we got to meet the family side of him as well. Exchanged some dad advice since our kids are the same age, got a family photo and a memory that'll last a lifetime.

I'll definitely be going back to visit my friends at Voodoo Tattoo.

I'll see you down the road!

Aloha ?“

“Made appointments 6 months ago from home over 5000 miles away to have a permanent remembrance of our time on the Big Island. Through photos and messages we were able to give inspiration that equated to exactly what we were looking for. Em tattooed three of us while Che tattooed my husband free handed and from inspiration from their conversation . It's hard to research enough to trust someone with something as personal as a tattoo but rest assured the artists here are just what you're looking for. Mahalo from my 'ohana.“

“Such a nice place! Becky was so attentive and we could have a short but nice talk before Rockwood got started with my beautiful tattoo. He is an artist and also a very nice, easygoing guy, I felt totally comfortable and got not fear at all, although this was my first big tattoo (at least bigger than the other ones I have). I want to thank Rockwood and Becky and when I am back in the Big Island of Hawaii I will for sure pay you a visit and get another tattoo done. I trully recommend this Studio. Kind regards and Aloha, Andréa from Switzerland (the turtle girl).“

“Nickel was great. She was thoughtful, professional and patient. She provided her thoughts, ideas and artistic input to create exactly what my wife and I both wanted. Her stencils were spot on and that carried over to the perfect tattoo. We couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience and outcome. I would highly recommend Nickel. Thanks again!“
