Pacific Island Ink

Tristan freehand drew my design concept to fit correct on my challenging/curvy location; he is a perfectionist in all the best ways for ink. His light touch, knowledge, and incredible skill resulted in the most amazing tattoo. Notice how my existing moon tattoo was mirrored perfectly in the new tattoo, thanks in full to Tristans amazing art. Tristan is a true professional in the craft.

Reached out to Tristan on Instagram, he responded within a couple hours. Met him later that day and shared my wants, he took time in helping to put my vision into reality. His shop is in a cute corner with lots of parking, his set up is very clean and I am very happy with his work. Thank you, Tristan. Cant wait to work with you again!

Tristian was able to see me the same day and gave me an amazing tattoo for a great price! Would definitely go back next time I’m on the big island.Main source of payment is Venmo.

Tristan is a true professional. My bf and i walked around town on Friday looking for a shop to do his tattoo and everyone was book and just so happened i called pacific island ink and we walked in and low and be hold my bf was able to get his tattoo that day. Al while letting us watch the best food review show to youtube. Tristan is awesome and would highly recommended him to anyone wanting to get a tattoo or piercing. Looking forward to getting my next tattoo done by him.

Tristan is the BEST!! We won’t go anywhere else! The shop is nice, feels like home, and the chairs are comfy!! He’s a great artist!! You won’t regret it or be disappointed!! The price is great too!!

I got my belly done here and I did my helix about a month before. Tristan is very helpful with information regarding the healing process and the piercings are quick and easy!😁

Tristan is great! Super helpful! Friendly! A perfectionist who explains everything in detail and works with you to be sure you know exactly what you want. Great place! Highly recommend!

The dude who runs this shop and his wife were both super friendly and helped me get my ear piercing sorted out. 5 stars! Much appreciated

Was visiting from New York and had stopped in at a couple of tattoo shops in the area, but was not feeling their vibe. Had heard about Big Island from someone we met at a luau, so we decided to stop in. They took my friend and I as walk-ins and my guy Tristan worked on my tattoo. Very chill guy. Very nice environment. He even let me pick out a movie on Netflix. The tattoo came out great, and I definitely recommend the shop, and especially Tristan, to anybody that wants to get tatted while in Kona

Both me and my fiancee wanted to get some new ink while on the Big Island and are really glad to have come across Pacific Island Ink. Tristan did a great job and is besides that a really nice person who was fun to spend the afternoon with while getting tattooed. He even gave us appointments on a monday although usually not having the Shop opened on mondays, it has also been kind of last minute, we walked in just a couple days before said monday. Appreciate it a lot! In case well ever make it back to the Big Island wed definitely be back.

Tristan was awesome! He was very easy to communicate with through the design phase and accommodated all requests while helping guide with his experience and artistry. Then (we) had back to back sessions for a pair of matching cancer ribbons and could not have been happier. Thank you so much, we are already looking forward to the next piece!

My boyfriend and I both got tattoos while on vacation, and could not be more happy with the results. The owner Tristan was very nice, and personable. He listened to what we wanted, and truly made our tattoos something special! His work inspired many of our friends and family to go and get tattoos. Would highly recommend to go as soon as possible.

My husband and me had an appointment during our holidays. It lastet 5-8hrs each and Tristan was soooo nice! His work is amazing. All the people there are so kind. I really recommend this place.Mahalo Tristan 🌺🫶🏼

Had a great experience here. Tristan was the artist for me and my boyfriend and he was kind, curious and very talented. If I lived on the island, I’d go to him for all my tattoos. Or just to chat. Great people. If you’re looking for a connection and good experience and not just a tattoo, definitely check this place out

We had a great experience from the get go for the first tattoos for my daughter, wife and myself.....Tristan was great to work with on the upfront info and scheduling...Ryan did an amazing job on mine....I would highly recommend them!!!

Tristan is an AMAZING artist. I was very annoying and changed my design the day before my appointment. He was very cool about it and drew up an amazing design with short notice. He was so nice about everything and had very clean work.Only complaint is that he isnt close to where Im from because I would love to go back.I would highly recommend this shop.

Great guys with a great shop! Very clean, professional, and laid back. My travel companion and I walked in for a tattoo at the end of our trip and they really took care of us. Ryan did an awesome job on my tattoo and Tristan did a phenomenal custom piece for my friend. Super happy with their work!

Pacific island ink and Tristan is amazing def go check him out

Tristan is an awesome artist and he got us in before our vacation ended, we appreciate it so much! My daughter loves her first tattoo. Thanks so much!

Great shop! I met with Tristan when We first got to the island, and after talking story he came up with the perfect tattoo. I will definitely be getting more work done here when I visit next!

Got a minimalist tattoo from Tristan and he was awesome!! His lines are perfectly straight and clear. He tolerated my nerves and made the experience comfortable!! Thanks for the awesome tat!

This was my first tattoo so I wanted a talented artist and someone who would walk me through it. I found that in Tristan. I told him what I wanted, a Moorish Idol fish, he drew it up perfectly and did a beautiful colorful rendition as a tattoo on my arm. The whole experience couldn’t have been better.Book an appointment now because this guy’s schedule is going to fill up fast when word gets out.

Tristen is FANTASTIC! If you want a great experience, an artist with true talent, and quick recovery go here.My wife and I got tattoos for 15th wedding anniversary from Tristen. We couldnt be happier with the experience and final result. We both have multiple tattoos. None show the artistic talent and attention to detail like the ones we have from Tristen.

I got my first tattoo here and Tristian was the perfect artist to do it! I was a walk in with a small, detailed tattoo and he took his time and was very precise. It turned out exactly how I wanted it. Highly recommend.

Tristan is a truth tattoo artist, perfect hand and creation ! Me and my wife we recommend. All best Tristan, Aloha from France

Tristan took great care of us. He did great work with attention to detail. I recommend this shop for your vacation tattoo!

He was very professional! I recommend

Tristan’s work is above others on the island. He really knows all about the Polynesian symbols & their meanings. He is a true artist and his lines/details are perfect.

Tristan tattooed me and my stepdad while we were on vacation here and he did a great job!! He puts a lot of effort into his work. If you are thinking about a minimal tattoo definitely come here his line work is very smooth and clean!!

Tristan is the best! Look at these lines, theyre insane!

The best! The tattoo came out perfect., the tattoo artist Tristen was amazing! The place was clean, comfortable and felt like home.

Tristan does amazing work!! Attention to detail and very friendly environment. Would highly recommend anyone to see him!! Thanks so much Tristan. Mahalo!!

Vacation tattoo! Pacific Island Ink was recommended to me by a friend. Tristan and Ryan were great and I am extremely happy with my tattoo!

They were awesome. I was looking for a last minute small reminder of my trip to Kona. While all the other studios either were closed early or way over priced, Pacific island ink nailed it. Thank you Ryan and Tristan~juice

Great work, friendly, and on time with the appointment. Shop is clean, inviting, and easy to find. If your on the Big Island and want a tattoo even for vacation hit up Pacific Island Ink.

10/10 experience and they are so nice!

Tristan was a fantastic artist! Will definitely going back when Im in Kona again

Ryan and Tristan are great guys! Their artwork is beautiful and a comfortable, super clean shop.

Awesome service and nice piercings ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My wife was able to do a walk in and not only did he do a great job with the tattoo he was enjoyable to talk too.

Great guy, did a great 1st session. Cant wait for 2nt one.

Doug is a dope person and artist

Awesome job by Tristan !!!!

Love the location and friendly service..

We immediately felt at home with Tristan and Kristel. This gave us the security and confidence we wanted for our first tattoo.Our ideas were implemented perfectly. We had three sizes to choose from.Tristan works very accurately and with concentration.We are more than satisfied with the result, almost in love with it.
