“I had my navel piercing close up on me one morning and I was scrambling trying to find a piercer who could get it reopened/repierced right away before I lose the piercing. Many were overcharging or not even in shop that day. I came across this shop and they immediately were accommodating. The shop was hard to find as google maps led me elsewhere, but a quick call to the shop fixed that. I can’t recall her name, but she gave me such clear and concise directions to get to the shop and even said she’d meet me outside. She was so kind and patient (I am not the best at directions).
Jay, the piercer, was not only kind and professional but very informative! He gave me information on piercing care that my previous piercer didn’t. Long story short, he saved my navel piercing all in a matter of 20 minutes! The price totaled out to $25 (I had bought a retainer) which was a lot more generous than a shop that was charging me $80 (and the piercer wasn’t even working that day). Jay agreed to do a follow up check in 2 weeks.
Due to my great experience here, I would go back here for a new piercing. Big thanks to everyone at the shop!“
“Leah does such incredible work! She’s done 3 tattoos for me now, and with every one she takes such incredible care, and shows such an immense attention to detail! I’m definitely going to keep coming back to her for more pieces! Trust her with my life!“
“Came in to purchase a barbell and I was greeted by Jack. Such a great guy! I told him what I was looking for and he knew exactly where it was and the size I needed! (Previous to coming to this shop, I was in another shop down the road and it took them over 5mins to find the barbell and unfortunately it wasn’t what I was looking for.)
I would definitely come back in for more merchandise and even a tattoo! The shop was great! Thanks again Jack!“
“I got my tattoo done by Adam and I absolutely love it. He freehanded it and it came out amazing. He was so patient and didn’t mind redoing the stencils to make sure it was perfect for me. During the tattoo I got lightheaded since I didn’t eat before and he was so patient and comforting. He made sure I was alright and did everything he could to help. It’s truly a cool and safe place. You guys should definitely get your tattoo here!“
“Ngā mihi big thanks to Bam, freestyle from the heart . Thank you so so much your talent is beyond words and a great memory to end my trip. Haami“
“Definitely recommend Lorrin ! I had a great experience. For me this tattoo has a lot of sentimental value and I’m beyond happy with this piece. Absolutely recommend this place.“
“3 of us went in for tattoos. Artists Kris & Brian were absolutely amazing! While my daughter & SIL were experienced, it was my first time getting a tattoo. Kris was extremely chill & understanding & his humor made the experience more relaxing & enjoyable. Brian must have been just as great as my daughter fell asleep. Staff’s explanations were detailed & thorough throughout the entire process. I highly recommend this shop. If I were to ever get another tattoo, I’d definitely come back here.
Specialties: They listened to our requests and provided professional opinions to help elevate the look of the tattoos.
Cleanliness: 100% sanitary
Stylist: Kris and Brian“
“Stopped in to check out the only APP studio out here in Honolulu and I was so impressed. As the manager of an APP studio back home in New Jersey, these guys definitely know what they’re doing. I met their piercer Bronson and what an absolutely sweetheart. The studio is incredibly clean and has a beautiful selection of jewelry. 10/10 recommend this place if you’re looking for a piercing or body jewelry in Honolulu!“
“Oahu’s Rockstar tattoo gets **10** out of five stars from me, I feel this is Honolulu’s number one tattoo shop, definitely a gem!!! how is this place not Packed with people every time I come in here? Connor is very friendly and My Artist The lovely Ms. Ellie, has far surpassed my expectations. I love the work she did on my skin, very professional, kind and clean. Her work is solid, sharp and heals beautifully. Highly recommend seeing her for your next tattoo! What are you waiting for book an appointment with Ellie seriously! And did I mention she’s very light handed? That is Compared to a lot of the artists who worked on me the last 25+ years.“
“Michelle was communicative from the very start. I showed her the images that I wanted in my tattoo, and she created a beautiful masterpiece. She has a gentle hand and is very attentive. She warned me to prepare myself when certain spots were going to be more painful. She was very personable and funny! We talked story and learned about each other She is fantastic and loves what she does. And it shows in her work! You won't be disappointed. Make an appointment today! Mahalo, Michelle! This was MY happy ending! Haha“
“Very nice and clean tattoo place. I got my third set of piercings from here. They do a very good job and letting you know what to expect when you pierce your ears at certain points and pain scale.“

We didn't exactly know what we wanted and she came up with a perfect meaningful design for us! Her skills were impressive to say the least! She did such fine details, they are just beautiful. She was also super sweet and made us feel so welcome. We're very happy we stumbled upon Hapsflow. I highly recommend getting tattoos done here!!“
“"I'm wearing short sleeves, I don't want to expose my tattoos." -Jerry Seinfeld Well now I DO wanna wear short sleeves to let my new honu peek out a bit! Been wanting to get a honu ink'd to remind me of where I came from... where home really is. Everytime I go back, I run out of time or just didn't want to give up the beach day. This time the whole fam was IN... when I explained my design concept, both my wife and daughter wanted their own version, still honu themed. da Scene: Determined to get this done done during the 16 day visit back home on Oahu, I did my research early and narrowed it down to 3 spots initially. After some dm's, email exchanges and finally some voice calls, it was Lai @ Tattoo Hawaii who I connected with most, so we scheduled an in-person consult and then our sessions, with 2 days left on our trip - only lost 1 beach day (it was a perfect one too). da Service: Every contact before our session was courteous and replied to promptly. I did have to be insistent on Lai doing our work, even if it meant spanning multiple days. His work on social media and Yelp! most connected with me. At our consult he explained how he would approach my design concept and adapt it to my wife and daughter. Lai was confident he could get us all done in one afternoon/evening session. The shop is tucked away on the 2nd floor of a little building on the corner of Kapiolani and Piikoi... parking is a challenge, so arrive early to wait out a spot. The shop is comfortable and can accommodate 3-4 artists working, with friends looking on in support. da Work: Kai was up 1st as hers would be the least complicated. She went with 3 petroglyph style honu, each about 3.5" diameter, ink'd fairly heavy - vertically on her upper arm, pretty classic design. She has several tattoos already and was surprised that Lai didn't work with a stencil... he simply free-handed the design with several pens, directly on your body. He's a very cool, confident cat, laid back and within minutes has you chatting it up like you went to high school together. I went next as my wife wanted to see how mine's worked out to help solidify her concept. Lai drew a honu/dragon/shark tooth design on my upper arm and I said "go for it". 2.5 hours later I was stunned at the fine details he added to the shark's teeth encircling the honu shell, as well as tribal accents in the honu, while incorporating the dragon profile. It really was satisfying to see my concept executed closely, while adding style and depth, bringing it to life. Carla was last up and really wanted to stick close to what I had done... just smaller and wanted the dragon to "pop" more. As you can see, Lai nailed it... however subtle, the dragon does appear more prominent on her piece. da Wrap: Really happy all-around, already thinking about how to add to it, maybe add color, grow it further down my arm, how to add to the story. It's a very personal thing and I really suggest you take your time to research and find the right artist. I'm confident that you'll find the right one at Tattoo Hawaii. We were there most of the day and saw several folks and artists' work, there was actually one guy there the whole time getting a large whole body piece worked on with a manual tattoo tool, that's an investment! HUGE shout out to Lai for making our sessions so enjoyable and comfortable... When he found out it was my and my wife's 1st work, he said he was honored to be 1st... such a humble guy, great disposition. We'll see you soon brother!“
“First Tattoo and went with a whole sleeve. Artist was professional and the art is amazing. Recommend to anyone looking for new ink, touch ups, or exploring some new artwork.“
“Great place for a tattoo if you're on vacation, I walked in with a basic idea of what I wanted and my artist kaina helped me make it happen. Everyone there was super nice, every art piece in there looked like it was made with passion and care. Kaina did my tattoo in a realism style and for my first tattoo he was careful and made sure I was doing good through the whole process . Will definitely be coming back next time I'm in the Waikiki area.“
“Lisa and her crew helped us today with piercings. Lisa was amazing and fast and it didn't hurt! She's awesome with customer service and very personable service. I was impressed by everyone's courtesy and positive attitude. I highly recommend ink pit for your next tattoo or piercing!“
“Cliff did an amazing job on my new snake tattoo! The design is perfect and the execution was flawless. I’m so happy with the results. Best of all, it hasn’t bled at all, which is a huge plus. Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a talented tattoo artist!“
