If visiting, this is a must stop here and get a tattoo place. Brandon was the bees knees!! Super friendly, funny, and professional. I booked with him within a few days and they squeezed us in. I also super appreciated that they worked within my budget. One of the most chill tattoo artists we’ve ever met. Good conversations & tattoos turned out just as we asked. Gave us aftercare information and an extra cover/wrap in case we needed since we were traveling elsewhere the next day. Highly recommend booking with Brandon. Can’t say it enough.

I absolutely LOVED the vibes of the studio! Everyone here is super nice and professional. The studio was clean and welcoming. I had the chance to be with Manuel for my tattoo. I cannot tell how much I had a great time. He cares a lot about his customers, my two hours with him flew very fast! What a nice guy and a great artist! When I’m coming back to Oahu, this is definitely going to be a studio I’ll revisit!

Big thanks to Kevin—he did an incredible job. My partner and I chose matching hibiscus tattoos as a keepsake from our time in Hawaii, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Kevin was extremely patient and his attention to detail was flawless. Thank you also to the lady at the front desk who was understanding and accommodating. It truly was a perfect way to end our vacation in Hawaii.

Got this tattoo while on vacation in Hawaii as a meaningful memory of the trip and couldn’t be happier. The shop was clean, professional, and had a great vibe. My artist, Kenneth, was super chill, easy to talk to, and absolutely nailed the design and coloring. Amazing work from start to finish. If you’re in Honolulu, definitely hit up Black Palette Tattoos — highly recommend! Mahalo! 🤙

Worked with a great and creative artist Napua. Great designs and kept it close to the reference photo we had. Line work is amazing, shading is on point. She was really accommodating with last minute changes from black and grey to adding color. While getting tattooed didn’t even feel like I was getting tatted. Keep up the great work! Highly recommended and will be come back if anything. Sorry for my stanky feet Lol
