Sacred Art Tattoo Aiea (Formerly TNT Tattoo)

Got my first nose piercing here and the experience was wonderful. 😊 Chris did my piercing a few days ago and it was skillful, quick, and the pain was tolerable. Today, I noticed my nose swelled a bit around the piercing area, probably as a healing response, and the jewel began going into my skin. I called in today and they were able to see me right after work. Drea skillfully re-pierced my nose this time with a longer needle so now the jewel is above my skin. She was so kind and provided me with a mini brush to use to clean along with extra q-tips. The staff are warm and friendly! Do highly recommend this place for anyone who wants to get a piercing!

Killer staff with chill vibes!! Can make appt or walk rt in! They do tattoo and piercings!I have tons of work by almost every artist here and its alllllll so hammah!Big inky ups to Destiny, Mokuahi, Myles, Dakota and Shane!Destiny, Tiare and dria can pierce ya too if need! 🪡🪡🪡

Got a roll of the dice tattoo from Capt. Jack Sparrow himself. It was a very good experience overall and excellent display of craftsmanship.

Chris was great! He is patient and will spend the time to be sure you are getting the finished piece you really want. I was impressed from his skill to the conversation in between! Great work Chris!

Everyone in the shop was so welcoming. Shane did my tattoo. He took so much time and care with the artwork, and made sure I felt comfortable the entire time. This was my third tattoo at my third shop. I highly recommend!

1/15/23: Update: I got a text message from TNT saying they saw my review online and asked if they could fix the situation by either giving me a refund, (mind you I asked if they could fix the situation or give me a refund the same day I went back in which was the 14th), or taking out my piercing and either doing it again or I could go to some one else. I appreciated the fact that I was refunded, but wish this situation was resolved the same day I went back to them instead of having to put up this review and then get contacted.1/13/23: I made an appointment in advance, when I arrived it was extremely packed but I was willing to be patient. It took them a bit to get everything ready, I signed paperwork that they didn’t even review or go over with me. After I got my septum pierced, they didn’t provide information on what I needed for “after care”. I noticed my septum seemed a bit off so I went to a different shop to get a second opinion. The guy I went to said that they did it improperly, that it was done diagonally, and told me to go back to TNT to see if they could fix the situation. I went back and told them my concern and that I got a second opinion and the lady that pierced my septum said it was fine and that once I put a hoop in it that won’t even matter cause it won’t be noticeable. Never even offered to fix it, the lady was a bit rude and off putting. I would not recommend getting a piercing by them, I would go to Metal Ink, their prices are a little bit higher but he has been piercing for over 30 years and takes great consideration of his clients.

Heather did beautiful artwork! Thank you for a gorgeous tattoo! All the staff were very friendly. Will definitely be back!

Smokey Ghostrider got me in on a walk-in right at closing. The lines were perfect and the colors are awesome. Love the old school look. He was able to customize a few things for me to remember Hawaii forever. Thanks again for the great experience and the lasting memories.-Alex

I got a tattoo yesterday from Chris (2bits) Originally Christian was going to do my tattoo but it was out of his comfort zone so he tattooed my friend and then Chris stepped in. I drove them crazy and they were so patient with me. Thank god! Chris has the touch! I have many other tats and when I say he has the touch he does! It was the smoothest piece I have ever had. This was not a small piece either. I was on vacation and determined to get a tat before I left! So glad I did it. Thank you Chris and thank you Christian for all your patience. I will recommend TNT and the both of you to everyone! I will be back next trip!

Myles did a super job on my Tats. I walked in with the design and Myles did the rest. I wish I was still in Hawaii for more. Mahalo

Well, Ive seen some post about the piercing artist not being in. I called ahead of time to ensure they would be available. Was told they would be available in an hour.I arrive exactly an hour after my phone call to be told that they just left to run a personal errand and would be right back. Waited 10 mins and left. What was the point of calling ahead of time?!? No point apparently.

Piercing experience was ok. Very good prices. I went in to get a septum done around November 2020. The piercer didn’t talk me through a lot of stuff, or check my anatomy before piercing. The piercing was one of the most painful I’ve had, only topped by intimate piercings. Probably a 7/10 as far as piercing pain goes. It must have been placed in a thicker part of the cartilage. It was done a bit crooked and is in a weird place in my nose. It healed well though. I still have my septum pierced but will be repiercing if I can’t find jewelry to hide the crookedness/weird placement.

Got my lip pierced here with my best friend and they did a fantastic job. Walked me through the process immediately before and while piercing me. It made the process incredibly comforting. This place is awesome.

Aloha! We travel from the mainland to have Kevin work on our tattoos, he does an outstanding job. The staff is very friendly, We highly recommend him for all your tattoo needs.This is our second go around coming to the island having him do our tattoos! The last time the whole family got them.Great value, quality work and a real professional artist! Mahalo

I really trust and love this place! I brought my older girls when they were young and it was amazing experience. Today I took my youngest (6years old) to get her ears pierced. He was ever so gentle and so good with kids. I dont trust department stores, so unsanitary and the sound of the piercing gun is a scary thing. And very inaccurate done by inexperienced unprofessional people. Why would anyone trust a sales clerk to do something like piercing when it should be done by a trained professional. If anyone is to get their piercing done, go to TNT!

Not Happy with tattoo 😕 wasnt exactly where I wanted it when I told him exactly where I wanted it . No stencil was free hand . Twice had to tell him to fix & fill in areas just not good .. Did not get good vibe off him..wont be going back

..my daughter and I brought her cousin Avery to get a random tattoo of something that would remind him of this trip back to Hawaii...he lives in San Diego, CA and its been 6 years since hes been back!!!..didnt really care about the wait time for a Tattoo Artist or that we had to come back after lunch...it was all good!!!..the Tattoo Artist ( Miles ) did an AWESOME JOB on my nephews tattoo!!! ..didnt think he would get a Spam Musubi tatted on his forearm - but HE DID!!! ..just wished I took a picture of it!!!

Heather did an amazing job. We got bumped from the other tattoo shop and got sent there. She did an awesome job.

We did a walk in and at first we felt like the guy didnt want to take the time do our tattoos. But the guy did get better through out the process! But very happy with the outcome!!!!! He did an amazing job!!

I went there to get my tongue pierced. I loved the service I got there hes a very nice guy. He pierced my tongue fast and painless. Im very happy with the way my tongue is healing up. I definatly recommend this shop :) one of the best Ive ever been too.

Heard and saw good reviews. BuT was super disappointed that after 2 hours we couldnt even get a review of my wifes future tattoo, to remember our 1st trip to Hawaii.. sadly gentlemen helping us had his iPad helping rendering his cad image , died every couple minutes.. how can you be an artist with your tools not ready to start and continue your workday.. it was an extremely awkward situation, when it should of been an extremely nice Hawaii memory :(

2bit was an amazing and professional tattoo artist. Light hands and did amazing work. Highly recommend him! The rest of the gang were friendly and made the shop comfortable and easy to be in.

This tattoo shop did a great job, they were clean and professional. We came in and talked a bit to get an idea of what my wife and I wanted to get, a few minutes later they were drawing up our new work. This was my 15th tattoo and I am very happy with the quality.

Quite literally the worst customer service ever experienced. nasty attitudes, did not draw what i asked for at all. wouldn’t adjust to size to what i asked. happy his time was wasted drawing a flower before we walked out due to atrocious attitude and demeanor.

I walked in and got my Labret done here. It was a very quick and easy process. I had just turned 18 and was surprised when he didnt ask for my ID, but other than that everything was great. Healed quickly and safely even though I was overly bothered at the time because he didnt use clamps.

Great tattoo that was made on my arm, made by tattoo artist Spade, great person and great personality, he made it way better than the photo.

Bailey is a wizard with the machine, he tatted my neck and it came out even better than I had hoped it would, and he was light handed hurt so much less than I was thinking it would hurt on my neck. Great time there will always be coming back for more!

Love this place! Very friendly. Piercings were quick sanitary and overall don’t have anything bad to say! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to get pierced for a good price!

Shown up multiple times with designs the artists were able to trace with no problem. My friend saw something on the wall a while ago and wanted to get that, when we showed up it was no longer on the wall but my friend was able to describe the image and they were able to recreate it perfectly. Theres also a huge selection of awesome designs theyve made over the years for you to choose from.

Piercing experience was eh, piercer didnt introduce herself or talk me through anything she was doing and my brow piercing was crooked. my boyfriends tattoo was amazing though

I went to get a tattoo as a walk in and it turned out awesome. The shop is clean, the artists are cool, and they can do just about anything. I would definitely reccomend this shop and will come back anytime Im on the island.

Outstanding place to get your next tattoo or piercings. These guys are super friendly. As soon as you walk in the door they say hello and ask if you have questions.

Went and asked to get a simple nose piercing. waited for almost 30 minutes. bad service frl. had to leave and go somewhere else to get it done.

Came in for daith and conch piercings, they were the most smooth and painless piercings ive ever gotten! Very happy with the results :)

Guys were great. Piercing was quick, sanitary, and he made sure I knew how to take care of it. Will recommend

Baily was a rockstar, set me up with some super fresh work. Light handed fluid movements, quick and thorough. Will definitely be back soon for more

They were very friendly and did a wonderful job. If I ever get another tattoo I’ll be going here again for sure!

HeatherB did my first tattoo and i absolutely love it!

Service isnt bad but Ive seen Bailey overcharge people for simple stuff. I tried to see if they had openings via social media numerous times and got left on read.

Amazing Tattoo artist! If i ever came back I would definitely go back to him. He was amazing to work with and amazing prices!

Dave is an amazing artist, and a very nice guy. I got my tattoo while on vacation, and its something that Im never going to regret

Great work. My wife and I got ink here my 10th her second and it was a great experience and great work. Thanks Mike.

Went with friends to get piercings. Everything went great. Very satisfied. Recommend!

Went to get a Dermal piercing today they were awesome 😎 definitely going back for a tattoo

It was quick, easy, no pain and the tattoo is so cute. I love it! Mahalo Bailey

Thank you Uncle Geoff Brown for my piercing. I love it! It was super fast!
