Kamu is an excellent artist. He has a nice touch. Im addtion, he was professional and respectful. I have always wanted a traditional Polynesian piece. I am a very happy customer. I found the prices to be fair.

Really enjoyed my visit here. The shop is really cool, great atmosphere and clearly well cared for. Franky did a great job, I was extremely happy with his work and he was super cool to work with too! Recommend this place highly if you’re looking for a tattoo in Waikīkī!

Mr. T is fantastic! I have gone to him for every one of my tattoos and he has always done a magnificent job. He is very detailed, careful, and makes sure i’m comfortable the entire time. He is by far my go to tattoo artist!

My experience with this company was disappointing. I paid a $1,000USD deposit for a tattoo, but when the original artist canceled, I was required to use a different artist at another location or forfeit my deposit due to a strict no-refund policy, regardless of fault. The second artist refused to create my requested design and insisted on their own version, disregarding my input. The total cost was $1,800USD for six hours, including drawing time (5" x 8"), which I believe does not justify the $300USD per hour rate. While the artists were courteous, I advise caution before choosing this or affiliated shops. The process felt more like dealing with a corporation than hiring an individual artist. Be sure to read all terms carefully. The final piece incorporated some elements of my original design but did not match my request, despite multiple attempts to clarify. The quality is acceptable, but not superior to other shops, especially considering the significant price difference. As requested by the owner, the images have been uploaded. The image on the left represents the original request, while the image on the right (still healing) shows the final result. Although several elements from the requested design were incorporated, the outcome does not fully match the original image. The workmanship is acceptable, and comparable to standard mainland shops, with exception to considerable price differences. You are hiring an LLC here, not a specific artist. I hope this information assists others in making an informed decision.
