Walked in and got my honeymoon tattoo done by Spade and he did an amazing job. I highly recommend this shop if youre looking for tattoos in Hawaii. I gave him a rough idea of what I wanted and he sketched it up and put an artists touch on it, and it was exactly what I wanted and more! Will be back for the rest of my sleeve and requesting Spade . Also a great price! 5 stars
My boyfriend and I like to get tattoos when we travel to different places so we chose this shop based on reviews we read. We both got tattooed by Sean and he was great. Super nice guy that we had a lot in common with which always makes for a nice experience. We opted to get sharks in coffee cups to combine our love of coffee and commemorate swimming with sharks during this trip. The design he came up with was absolutely perfect and I didn’t feel the need to change a single thing. The girls at the counter were really friendly and personable as well. The quality of work speaks for itself and I cannot recommend this shop enough. Not to mention that they have really good coffee there too!
I just left from my appt with Brags and I absolutely love my tattoo. He did such an amazing job and I am so happy with the way it turned out. He listened to what I wanted and checked in with me thought out the process. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If you ever need to get a tattoo, definitely go see Brags. Next time I come back, I know I going back to him. Also, shout out to Dustin you’re a pretty cool guy too, thanks for the hook up. Y’all definitely need to check out these guys if you’re in the area and looking for some new ink, you’ll love it here.
I had the best tattoo experience ever. Spade was extremely knowledgeable and gave great advice to ensure I’d be happy with my tattoo idea. I definitely would come back for tattoos each time I’m in Hawaii. Also, the music and ambience of the tattoo shop was absolute perfection. I am so so so beyond happy with this tattoo! Thank you so much to Spade!!!
Santiago “Spade” Gonzalez is a phenomenal artist and individual. He asked me what I was looking for and presented me with several amazing options. If you want a world-class tattoo from a top-notch artist, look no further. Spade can do it all. Appreciate you, Spade!!
Process was easy. Contacted them through Yelp and Amanda helped me get scheduled for a consult. She gave me the IG’s of a few artists so I could see their work. The consult was to talk to the artist on what I was looking to do. I had a design in my head and worked with Nate. He sketched it out and said he’d work on it before the actual appt. He also gave me his IG so I could ask questions and submit addl ideas before my appt. I submitted a couple questions which he responded to. I picked Nate because his portfolio had work that most represented what I wanted. Day of, Nate first showed me his design which I loved. We made one small tweak and he prepped and we were off on a 4 hour journey. The work was very detailed from the stencil to the line work to the finished work. The shading is awesome and he took my suggestion and request for color on the Chinese characters. I think he does great work and many of the other artists stopped by and gave nods of approval.
First tattoo! I worked with Spade who was very communicative, gentle, kind, professional, and overall awesome! Sacred tattoo itself is a clean establishment. I was shown the needles in packaging and the expiration of 2028 was pointed out and during the consultation we went over the ingredients of the ink. Very happy with how my tattoo turned out- small one on the ribs. Great technique, Spade didn’t rush through anything and let me know what he was working on and checked in on pain levels. All the staff were kind and supportive! Will be going back!
Got a tattoo by Spade. His line work is amazing. Did a walk in and have zero issues. Very smooth process and everyone is extremely nice. Felt very comfortable and welcoming
This shop is incredible! From the moment I walked in, to when I left, I felt very comfortable. The staff is friendly, helpful, supportive, and patient, (all the things that keep people coming back!).Francesca, who worked the front was super nice and helped me stay in Contact with the artist. I got my tattoo done by Matt and he absolutely killed it! He was able to work with me on an incredible piece. He’s patient and flexible and will ensure that you’re happy with the tattoo.Thanks guys for phenomenal experience!
Nate tattooed me and was such a pleasure to be tattooed by him! Worked with me and was easy to book with. Also during my session he was reassuring me and asking how I was feeling throughout. Would recommend 10/10!
Cool tattoo spot in Waikiki! I worked with Spade on the design after giving him some references and I couldnt be happier with how it came out. An amazing artist who took my feedback into account and even gave suggestions to make the design even better. Worth the trip if youre ever on the island!
Got my first tattoo for my 18th birthday by Nate! Great guy and super nice! Did an awesome job and I am so happy with the results. The shading and details are fantastic. Great tattoo artist and definitely recommend!!
This is my third tattoo here and every time it’s a great experience talented artist and great vibes. Highly recommend. Right by the Hilton you should do it!!
Shawn did an incredible job with my tattoo! I was torn between a few ideas, but the sketch he came up with was so amazing that I instantly knew it was the one. His attention to detail and artistry are next-level. Couldn’t be happier with the result – it turned out even better than I imagined
My wife and I just wanted to get a small wave tattoo while on our honeymoon and Sacred Arts did not disappointment. It was easy to make our appointment and Shawn was helpful and did a great job. Will come back here if back in Oahu and want a tattoo!
Came from Ohio on vacation to get a tattoo, Shawn did some awesome line work. Not heavy handed either! We get a small tattoo every trip here, will Def be coming back to this shop. They are the best.
Was tattooed by Nate while on vacation, I couldn’t be happier with the tattoo he gave me, super fast incredible work and healed amazingly. On top of that he was a great laugh with incredible smooth experience. Highly recommend him.
Came as a walk in, Matt was able to fit me in and he did not disappoint! Took time to make sure I got exactly what I wanted. Super friendly and nice to work with! Mahalo Matt for a bomb tattoo and touch up.
Oh my goodness, how do I even begin. These guys made my appointment so smooth from start to finish. BRAGS, has a smooth and consistent style. With my design request (that I came up with in the fly) and the confidence in placement - absolutely love his work. Mahalo, Sacred Heart art studio!!!
Got a sibling tattoo with Spade and love how it turned out! He was very friendly and worked with me to get it designed how we all wanted.
Dustin was so awesome! He made sure that I got exactly what I wanted and was perfectly happy with it. He even spotted a tattoo I needed to rework and offered to fix it on the spot! Great experience, definitely coming back again, thank you Dustin!!!! 🌸
My family and I were vacationing in Oahu, Waikiki and wanted to get a family tattoo. We found Sacred Art Tattoo shop near our resort and it was the best decision ever! Spade and Tiny did all 4 of our OHANA tattoos and they did an amazing job! This shop is top notch and has the coolest vibe! I would definitely recommend anyone visiting the island to check them out. Thank you Sacred Art Tattoo, we now have an awesome memory of our Hawaii trip!
Spade was absolutely incredible and talented. Loved my experience and my tattoo is amazing!!
My tattoo came out great! Brags was able to fit me into his schedule in short notice during my trip and did a great job. Excellent service and experience. Thank you Sacred Art Tattoo!
My experience at Sacred Art Tattoo was awesome! Matt was very flexible and accommodating with getting me in the last night of my vacation! The tattoo turned out perfect and just how I pictured it (if not better). Matt made good conversation the whole time and continued to ask how I was doing. I was very happy with the time it was completed in. The price was reasonable and I even bought a cool t-shirt! :)
I came in and was quickly seen by Spade he was able to educate me on my previous tattoo and provided me with some great recommendation for the tattoo I wanted. He was very professional and handled the work on my tattoo with care while also providing me with after care suggestions. He didn’t discourage me as I laughed a few times while the needle was on my skin due to my very sensitive nerves lol. Highly recommended!! Thanks Spade!
They were super quick to get back to me about scheduling an appointment. The staff is very friendly and awesome about modifying my original idea to get exactly what I wanted. Tweety did an amazing job!
Nate was absolutely amazing! Took my idea and blew it out of the water. I would recommend him highly to anyone looking for a tattoo in the area. Super friendly and made me feel super comfortable. The whole experience was awesome!
Matt was my tattoo artist. He was extremely helpful in bringing my idea to life. He was very professional and I had a great time getting my first tattoo. Excellent work and very detailed!
This was my first tattoo, and I was super happy with my experience. I went in with an idea for a tattoo and the artist, Spade, was very helpful with pulling my ideas into a great design. Being my first tattoo, I really psyched myself out but Spade was really understanding and made me feel a lot better about it. Im definitely going to be coming back for more. (Ill add an image of the tattoo once healed)
Walked into the shop on a whim and left with an awesome tat! The artist, Spade, was super chill and crazy talented. He hooked me up with a dainty tattoo, even though hes into big pieces. He listened to what I wanted and one upped me! He added some unexpected color that Im loving. It was a vibe, talent everywhere. Highly impressed with the whole experience!
Fourth time to Hawaii had a great hand Polynesian tattoo done excellent guys. Great fun a great afternoon having a tattoo highly recommended.
AMAZING!!! We’re visiting from chi and wanted to get something since Hawaii means so much to us. Shawn did two of my tattoos and they were PERFECT. Didn’t feel uncomfy at all. Spade did my wife’s and hers also turned out sooooo good. Love it hereeeee
Spade at Sacred Art is the real deal. Words won’t express how satisfied I’ve been with his work. Let’s put it this way….I fly into Honolulu just for him to tat me up!! If you are on the island, planning to come to the island or want the best artist around, head here and ask for Spade!!! You’ll become part of the family! The cover up work he’s done, the free hand imagination is first class. See you soon my friend!!!!
Sacred Heart Tattoo is completely legit! Fantastic experience !Tweety is an incredible artist. Definitely recommend her, I will be requesting her when I come back to Hawaii. Mahalo
I was so glad to have stumbled upon this shop during my visit to Oahu. I love that it’s a coffee shop and tattoo studio (two of my favorite things). Every person who works there was genuinely friendly and welcoming. My sister and I were able to get in on the last night of our trip and the experience was amazing! Both artists were great at their craft and the experience was great. I appreciated especially that they keep very high sanitation standards. Probably one of the best tattoo experiences I’ve ever had. If you’re looking for traditional style tattoo James does a great job I’m so happy with how my tattoo turned out!
First time getting a tattoo but it was worth it.Clean shop and funny stuff. I barely even felt the tattoo how much I was laughing. Would definitely recommend going especially to the artist name spade he got me right. I will never forget this experience!!
Researched their IG page for days, looked at all their artists, and I ended up deciding that Spade had the hand in art of what i wanted. He did an amazing job in tying my concept together. And had excellent service every time I had to interact with him!
The team’s amazing. I had an idea of what I wanted. Shout out to Matt for this tattoo. Loved it. Definitely going back, on my next trip.
Braggs did such an amazing job taking me in for a same day appointment. He’s such a presonable and talented artist and would 10000% recommend going to him for all your needs! He was super excited about the piece i wanted and executed it brilliantly. always love coming here for new pieces!
Mako is the man!!! Highly recommended. I can’t wait for my next session. I asked for a Filipino tribal tattoo and let him do the design. He did not disappoint! Amazing work!
Hi my mom and me are from Austria on vacation in hawaii. My mom made a great tattoo with Joshua and she loves her tattoo 😍 I made a tattoo for my dead son and it got bigger as planned but Tweety made my vision come true it is stunning 😍 she is really patient and amazing with details, I am glad she did my tattoo. If you want a great tattoo than you have to choose this tattoo shop.
Came to Waikiki for vacation. My husband and I wanted to get tattoos. Nate did a great job drawing up an original dragon for my husband and Brags took a tiki flash art and made it my own!! The shop is clean, staff is great, amazing experience!
Spade was awesome. Super fun guy, totally professional and talented. Great piece, we are incredibly happy.
Un posto perfetto per i vostro primo tatuaggio in Hawaii, Waikiki. Spade♠️ fu il mio artista e lo consiglio molto! Una persona gentile, attenta, que comunica bene, que ti rende molto calmo!
Super friendly, work with you to get a great looking tattoo. Walked in no appointment and was super accommodating
Nate was great. Really quick to put something together for my mid-large tribal tattoo on my calf , last minute. The whole staff was really cool. Great environment. Will come back for my next visit to Oahu for sure. Will add image soon
Spade was amazing! It’s been 20 years since my one and only other tattoo and he has the magic touch! Environment is fun and inviting and he came up with the perfect design for my cousin and I to commemorate our first trip to Hawaii! We will be back!
Great experience with spade! Got everything i wanted in a tattoo. Fell in love with it. Will comeback again!
Awesome shop. I had the pleasure of working with Brags whos line work is top tier! I went in with a bunch of ideas and he executed beyond my expectation on a previous tattoo I wanted to cover. All of the artists are cool, easy to work with, and great with artwork. Would recommend to anyone visiting Hawaii that wants some nice work done! Thanks Brags! Ill be the one Bragging now!
Such a great experience, from start to finish. Easy to book an appointment, friendly staff and quick to schedule!My tattoo artist, Spade, sketched out an original tattoo of a sea turtle, which I love! He was very professional, and I will definitely recommend this studio!
Everyone at sacred art tattoo is amazing! Nate Rose has done both my tattoos and love them! Totally recommend coming here.
Matt was amazing! Super clean lines and amazing work period!My husband and I wanted to get matching tattoos in memorization of our Hawaiian vacation. Dani was very attentive when we first walked in and answered all our questions. My tattoo turned out amazing and exceeded all my expectations. All the staff has been very nice and welcoming also, the place is super clean too. Thanks so much guys! :)
The best tattoo experience!! Spade is THE BEST!! Very knowledgeable and constantly made sure I was doing okay. The vibes in the shop were so comforting and fun, if I was here longer I’d definitely come back. 10/10 recommend!!
I came in asking for a cloud with a rainbow in the middle and Spade showed me this design.The white was left as straight lines and I had to ask for more blending in the white.When I told him it was nothing like what he showed me he said it was “spot on”When I told him there’s no dimension in the tattoo like what he showed me he said “you’re trying to pack all this color into one little space” and offered to keep working on it but I honestly don’t think there’s anything else he would have been able to do to make it better.At the end of the conversation he asked “do you still want me to wrap it?” Weird question to ask, it’s still a tattoo that needs to be taken care of properly.He didn’t charge me but when I went to leave the lady working the front desk asked if I wanted to leave a tip and I said no and she said “I think that he worked hard on it and tried his best” and “you came in wanting something unattainable”What he presented me with was something unattainable for him. If he wasn’t confident in executing what was shown to me he should not have tattooed it.
Spade was the shit , helped with ideas on the ink and design. Definitely will be back !
Was recommended by a gal from dukes restaurant. So very pleased! Bam did exactly what we had requested and was so patient. We were undecided and he helped us decide! Couldn’t be more pleased! Did an amazing job! Super clean shop and great atmosphere. Thank you again for making our vacation experience more memorable!
We had a great experience here. The tattoo artists were very nice and caring towards our needs and gave us the perfect tattoos. We were able to walk in and right away get 4 different tattoos at a great price. 100/10 definitely recommend, will be coming back here in the future.
Just had an amazing experience with Spade and my daughter with Nate at Sacred Art Tattoo. From beginning to end everyone was professional and welcoming. Most importantly the results were beautiful and better than imagined. We both would highly recommend Sacred Art. Enjoy!
Got a tattoo done by Nate he was very nice and I’m very happy with how the tattoo ended up 👍.
Tweety did an excellent job on my tattoo! She did a bomb job! Get all your tats done with her at Sacred Art Tattoo Shop!
In Hawaii for Fathers Day! My husband, my sister and I had the Best Experience ever at Sacred Art. Kevin did an amazing job on my feather 🪶 request which took 3hrs due to size and detail. Shorty did my sisters two tats which one (on her shoulder) she slept right through lol. But we LOVE OUR INK & the energy of the artist at this shop!! MY HUSBAND will get his today since its a 6hr job. Thanks Kevin and your entire Phenomenal crew!! You all rock! We will return. Cant wait to be back in Saint Louis and brag about our Hawaiian Tattoo experience.
Dustin did an excellent job! Place was clean and the staff was friendly. Will definitely come back for another tattoo.
Spade was amazing!!!! Super fast and good job! Got my tattoo on the valentines flash and also a very Hawaiian cute style turtle!
Spade did amazing. Walked in and he drew this on the spot. He was very spot on with what I want and did great!
There is a frickin reason SACRED ART TATTOO WAIKIKI has been around, same location, for decades. Its kinda akin to the famed comedy series of yesteryear, CHEERS ......... Where everyone knows your name. Walk-in, and you know right away just how together this shop truly is. Beyond exceptional artists. Top shelf flash, and a super cool look in this shop. Support this shop. You cant go wrong.
Spade was awesome! Super cool and kept me calm. He also gave me some suggestions that made my tattoo come out better than what I had in mind
Out of all places I’ve been tattooed, I’ve had the most fun here at Sacred Art Tattoo. Spade is hilarious and I see why he has a following. The other artists too are so fun to interact with. Will definitely be back! But don’t think twice! Book that appointment with Spade or Bam! Definitely worth it!
Spade did my tattoo! He’s awesome and I felt little to no pain. Clean shop I recommend
The Sacred Art staff were friendly and welcoming during my visit. The artist Brags did a great job bringing my concept to life- I am pleased with the result and encourage anyone looking for a quality piece to drop in.Ray,Vancouver Canada.
Was at this shop for the first time. Nate was awesome. Would definitely recommend this shop!!
100% Recommend Sacred Art Tattoi Waikik! Spade has been in business a long time and knows how to give you exactly what you want! Super dope guy and team!
I have been wanting to get a tattoo of my kiddos name for a while so when I came and saw the design Spade made, I instantly fell in love! Highly recommend him. He made the process easy and smooth.
Best tattoo experience ever with Tweety! So kind and very proud of her work. Her hand drawn work is absolutely amazing! Definitely will be back soon.
1st visit to Hawaii and Matt Towns did the damn thing. I love it! I remember Hawaii forever! Sacred Art Tattoo is the real deal!
I liked this tattoo shop & appreciated how close to my Hilton resort it was. Rachel was the absolute best! She does quick, efficient, quality color work. I had her do a color touch-up on my left leg/ankle area & a new tattoo on my right forearm. I also requested the artificial skin covering to protect my tattoo up to 5 days which she provided. Thank you Rachel!
I had my belly button cross pierced by Matt and a knee frame tattoo done by Brags and they were AMAZING!! Came in to have work done while visiting and was not disappointed! Great atmosphere and awesome people. You won’t regret it!
Shawn and Bam were absolutely amazing. They were so inviting when we walked in. We had great conversation. We got matching turtle tattoos and at the last second Shawn added a little sombrero to mine and they both came out perfect! Thank you so much and we will return on our next visit to Hawaii.
On the 23rd of June 2004 the owner of the shop did an awesome job on a tribal totem pole on my chest one of the best tattoos Ive ever had.On my next trip back to Hawaii I will see this gentleman again at his shop located near the Hilton Resort in the mall area Im going to have a war canoe put on the other side of my chest
Nate blasted out a forearm tat on me tonight to finalize my amazing vacation here in Hawaii. If you’re ever in Hawaii check out Sacred Art Tattoo in Waikiki. The shop is clean and has such a hometown feel. Nate did an amazing job!!
Great experience. Quick and painless. Ship has a great vibe. My artist was Shawn and he was amazing. 👍
Great place great people! Much Mahalo to my artist first time here and gonna come back for more ink! @tatzbybam IG for his work
Shawn did a great job on my wife’s first Tattoo. So courteous and did a great job with her!!! Thank you!!!
I got a tattoo by Tweety who was very accommodating. I had shown her my inspo photos and ideas and she readily delivered. She was quick and efficient the day of my appointment. This was my first time being tattooed in Hawaii so I was a bit nervous on establishing rapport with a new artist but she made me feel welcomed and conversation flowed easily. Her kindness and professionalism made the experience a smooth one. I have already discussed my next tattoo idea with her and am looking forward to it!
Had a feral chicken done by Tweety! Great experience and my favorite tattoo to date. I chose her because her line work was crisp and clean and I liked the black and grey work she had done previously. I really like the finished piece that Tweety brought to life for me and hope to get more work done by her in the future.
This place is awesome and got us in super last minute as a little tattoo cap to our vacation! Super accommodating and I highly recommend Nate! He got my idea perfect on the first try and made the whole process enjoyable. If you’re looking for a tattoo shop in the Waikiki area, this is the one!
Amazing experience with Nate. Listened to exactly what I wanted and was very accommodating! Would highly recommend coming here to get your favorite design done. Will be back in the future! Thanks Nate!
Matt was fantastic! 🤩Attention to detail and choice of sizing great! Definitely return for next (4th) when back on island🌺. Steve ,Jay & Maddie have great sense of humor and make the time in the shop pass quickly! Love the final product!
Spade was amazing and super nice his work is clean the shop is clean I would recommend to everyone. Posting a pic so you guys can see! Thank me later
Amazing experience!! I got my first tattoo here and they were so welcoming it was perfect! Me and my mom impulsively decided on the last day of our vacation to get tattoos and it was the best experience possible. I got mine done by Spade and he was so sweet and easy to talk to! I’m definitely coming back the next time I visit Hawaii!
Lovely tattoo artists but woman with the blue hair on the front counter needs an attitude check! This was meant to be a special and significant occasion but her terrible attitude towards us as soon as we entered the shop was so off putting, it almost ruined the entire experience. Kindness and politeness are free!
Highly recommend. Really great staff! Friendly and clean. Great atmosphere!Dustin was awesome! Designed my Navy Squadron Logo.
Super easy process to get booked and paired up with Shawn. The whole process went great. I got an endemic flower to help me remember my time on Oahu.Would definitely recommend these guys in the future. Price was very fair as well.
Spade was so amazing to both my mom and me. He was very kind, gentle, and professional and both of us left with tattoos we love! Highly recommend!!
Came in for a hand tattoo and left with exactly that! I didn’t have a specific design in mind so I shared some inspo pics with my tattoo artist, Jay, and let him do the rest. He free handed the design, his line work is amazing not to mention the staff was so friendly!! Would recommend SA to anyone looking for talented tattoo artists in Honolulu 🤙🏼
My tattoo experience was great! Shawn was efficient and detailed I love how it turned out!
Me & a friend walked in around 7pm on a Thursday and we were helped right away! Matt was awesome and did an amazing job on a cowboy hat and 1964 tattoo on me. I am super happy with the results and would 100% come back again. Thanks Matt!!
Amazing experience, atmosphere, and staff. Curtis was my artist and he did amazing job with my tattoo!
AMAZING shop. Very clean. Amazing artists. I used Tweety and she killed it! 🙌 my new favorite tattoo! All the staff was friendly & welcoming. No bad vibes there! She even used an image I captured on my trip for my tattoo. Clean, fast & pain free. Super relaxing. My only go-to shop & artist for ink 🙌
Spade did a palm tree tattoo to celebrate my fiancee and I’s an engagement. It came out great and was really chill to hang out with.
Matt’s boss! He’s done great work on my husband, and knocked my Polynesian tribal with hibiscus out of the park. Can’t go wrong over at Sacred Art in Waikiki. Pull the trigger and get over there.
Walked in for a small tattoo with Spade. Did an awesome job, got in easily and staff were great. Would come here again
While on vacation in Hawaii, Oahu, decided to get a tattoo and upon recommendation, we went to Sacred Art Tattoo Waikiki. The shop is super cool and clean. Walked in and was greeted by Bam, who turned out to be my artist. He helped me narrow down my choices and the best place for placement. And the actual tattooing was quick, easy and painless. I love my new art aka my souvenir from Hawaii. Thank you so much Bam!
Went in to get a small tattoo while on vacation to add to my collection and Matt did a great job with it! He was very nice and kept conversation going. He also stayed within my price range which was really appreciated
Bam sorted me out for my first tattoo, he’s experienced and helped me settle in comfortably. He nailed the exact design I wanted and I couldn’t be happier with his work. Highly recommended!
We came with my husband to each get a tattoo to have an unforgettable memory of our honeymoon. My tattoo was done by Josh and my husbands by Spade. They are extremely professional people, good advice, attentive and very friendly. Thanks to Dannie for her responsiveness and sympathy. We recommend 2000%.We came with my husband to each get a tattoo to have an unforgettable memory of our honeymoon. My tattoo was done by Josh and my husbands by Spade.

Nate Rose is phenomenal! I was a walk-in customer and he was super accommodating! Took me right away, gave a great recommendation and did everything perfectly! Thank you so much, Nate! You are amazing!
Awesome experience with Dustin. I got a fine line tattoo and it turned out perfect. Definitely recommend going to Dustin!!
Nate did an excellent job. Talent at every detail. Thank you
Nate is an epic artist who made the experience great. Awesome conversation, willing to work with me on the design. Would 100% get more work here!
I visited Hawaii for the first time a week ago and wanted to get a tattoo of something meaningful about Hawaii! I love the plumeria flower. I searched for tattoo shops and this one was number 1 when I searched google! I was able to schedule an appointment right away! They scheduled me with Tweety! She was awesome!! I told her what I was wanting and she drew it up and it looked so good!! Everyone was very nice there and every tattoo artist was working on some awesome tattoos! Very impressed! I’m going back in October and I will definitely be getting another tattoo from Tweety!! 🌺🌺🌺
Bam the artist made me tribal tattoo made by him and I loved it. Been coming here every year for vacation and got 3 tattoos at Sacred art tattoo.Love my tattoo and everybody from there are nice
Amazing experience. Talented and informative team but Spade hit it out the park. Personable, patient and so skilled. Thank you!!
Nate is THE BEST!Totally worth the money and time. They will do you right. Ariel (sorry if I spelled that wrong) was free handing another tattoo there that was award worthy. My new favorite ink!
This is where you want to get your tattoos. Clean, professional, they do high quality work and Spade is a great artist! If you climb, find him on Instagram at @tattoosbyspade
Spade was great. First tattoo with him. Went super fast and was a great first experience.
Got tattoo from Bam Bam while here on vacation. Tattoo came out absolutely stunning. We was very quick and very professional. Cant wait to be back so he can finish my leg sleeve! Could not have asked for a better experience!!
I went to Sacred Art because an artist that tattooed me last year in Lahaina had moved there. Her name is Tweety Higgins and not only is she a great artist , she is a great person. I had her do a manta ray ( Polynesian style ) and it came out FANTASTIC!
The staff was very helpful. They were professional and they checked in whilst I was on the chair. I would go again to get it tatted.Thank you Nate !!!
Came to get my first ever tattoo while on holiday. One of those spontaneous ones - Brags absolutely crushed it! So obsessed. First of many, can’t wait to come back 😁
Big Tiny did an amazing job on my son. I was little nervous as his mom......but then I saw how amazing it came out. So worth it! We got tattoos for Jesus. Mother and son!
Love it. It was quick and affordable. Book wit tweety, Dustin
Spade did a Very beautiful tattoo took his time listneded to what I wanted and made it all work together. Cant wait to come back and get my next one
Awesome tattoo from Spade! Super friendly and really great line work and shading, exactly what I wanted! Would definitely go back
Spade was absolutely fantastic, work was incredible and he’s so kind and fun to be around. Can’t recommend him enough and can’t wait to get more work done by him!
Based on the work i seen posted on their instagram i thought the artist Dustin would do a great job on the piece i wanted. Although i was very disappointed once it was healed, it hasn’t even been two months and the tattoo is faded and details disappearing, the lines are not straight what so ever. It’s very disappointing that when i was trying to get a tattoo to mark the experience of my trip to Hawaii, that i had to go and get it redone within no time at all at a shop in my hometown. If you’re getting a piece with lots of detail and you want it to remain looking that way, i do not suggest this tattoo shop.
Atmosphere is phenomenal, everyone is very friendly. Nate did an absolute amazing job with my piece! Very satisfied & prices are reasonable.
Walked in mid-afternoon to peruse the books and the idea of tattoos. Walked out with a booked same day appointment and excitement. They let us take some time and figure out what we wanted and where. Came back and got both of us done in a quick and timely fashion and great work by Dustin. Pricing is more than fair and I would highly recommend them for a quick and great memory in this beautiful state
Love how it turned out, spade did a great job would definitely come back again
Talented artist! I called to get 6 people tattooed. They were able to get us in 2 days later. Turns out the manager grew up not far from our group that took the trip to Hawaii, and one of the wives knew his sister, small world. I am looking forward to future work, but when he goes to Florida.
Shawn did an amazing job with my Moana tattoo! He was quick and efficient while making sure the tattoo was perfect. I’d definitely recommend Sacred Tattoo for all tattoo needs
Super chill dude (spade) gave me three super high quality tattoos within a half hour!!
Shawn did an amazing job on my very first tattoo! Come see him today!
Absolutely blown away by this shop! Impeccably clean, fantastic vibes, and Shawn and Ariel were absolutely phenomenal. Their advice on healing, positioning, and enhancing the tattoos was spot-on. Thrilled with the results! Definitely my go-to for future tattoos.
Got my first tattoo here while in Hawaii! Nate and Bam, honestly the entire staff was so nice and comforting while the whole process! Literally so easy and quick too!! Great souvenir!!!!
Excellent service the crew made my friend and I feel so welcome and supported us for our first tattoos. It never got boring we always had something to talk about.
Was on a two-week trip in Hawaii (Waikiki) and besides eating amazing food and visiting must see sights, one of my to-do’s on this trip was to get a tattoo. I was a scatter brain in terms of what I wanted, from a fish hook to a tribal tattoo to a tiki, which initially I wanted on my forearm then decided on my upper arm. Jay recommended Ariel to me and she did such a phenomenal job freehand on my arm and coming up with a design. It was almost like she read my mind! Just love it every minute, and hoping to head back to Hawaii next year to finish it up to my shoulder!My son was there as well getting a tiger tattoo on his forearm and let me tell you, it was beautiful. Love the people there, love the ambiance and not to mention the music selection. It’s what a tattoo place should be.We visited numerous other tattoo places nearby but was not too impressed or rather not our style. What they say about finding a good artist is 100%. Both Ariel and Jay are masters of their craft.Highly recommend without any hesitation.
Dustin did a great job! Felt super comfortable and wasn’t worried at all
Walked in to get a coverup done, unsure of what I wanted. Brags helped me pick one of my options that meant a lot to me, custom designed, and did the artwork beyond my expectations all in a couple hours, without an appointment! Amazing artist, and a good shop and atmosphere. Will be coming here to see Brags for all of my future work!
SPADE was by far was amazing and he has an eye & hand of the best art & technique!! U will not regret it if you’re with Spade! Definitely coming back to Spade!Thuy Autumn
Spade, very thorough job well done. He was calm, collective, owns his tools (was not sharing with other artists) and made the idea I had come to surface. Thank you, see you next time!
The go to tattoo parlor in Hawaii, Bam Bam is great with humor as well as his imagination and artistry on tattoos. I recommend him for your tattoo ideas to make it into realism, and a story. Such a good atmosphere and people!
Dustin did a fantastic job on my husband’s and I Tattoo, I’m personally a nervous tattooer, I like the end product but not the process and Dustin made me feel at home, kept me relaxed and what a professional guy and did a fantastic job. Thanks a ton
August 2024: Sacred Art never disappoints and today I had Spade ♠️ work his magic on me creating yet another work of art.2023; Ariel is the bomb. She is so talented and dedicated to her work.The amount of detail that she puts into her artistry is well above par.
Tweety was absolutely amazing and so so kind. I got a sea turtle on my arm and it’s one of the cutest and most detailed tattoos I’ve seen. HIGHLY recommend!!
I came to Sacred Art Waikiki while on vacation and it was one of the best experiences I’ve had a tattoo shop. Shawn was very professional and knowledgeable with tattooing and did some great work. I’ll definitely be coming back here whenever I’m in town.
Everyone was welcoming and friendly when I walked in. Justin, my artist was amazing. He worked with me and took the time to give me exactly what I wanted. I couldnt be happier with my my tattoo...which was very personal - and had to be modified to get the result that I wanted. Great place, and Justin is fantastic.
Recently started my full back piece with Jay and it was an amazing experience. He is talented, diligent, and personable. He is open-minded and worked cohesively with me in bringing my vision and what I wanted to life, but he also added so much of his creativity to the piece as well. Having found my go-to artist was an amazing feeling and I have already booked another session with Jay. Everyone, if you are looking for someone to make beautiful pieces with, Jay is your guy!!
Spade was awesome!!! He did a great job the picture I gave him. He said I was his 5th tattoo job and he nailed it. 😜
Great atmosphere. Wonderful artists. Dannie was an amazing host getting my fiancé and I & our little one settled in for our tattoos. Would return!
Husband and I got tattoos done by KR. He is awesome and I love my new tattoo! Clean shop, guys working there are cool. Good atmosphere, good price! Recommend 100%
I got one of a few tattoos from here, my last one and my biggest was done by Spade. He was super cool and creative as he drew my tattoo from scratch. 10 outa 10 would recommend and would go again.
I got awesome work done by Spade. He was super cool and he even touched up one of my other tattoos as well!!
Spade did an awesome job with my wife and is souvenir matching tattoo! Definitely recommend going to him. Hes super chill 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Fantastic! I went here for my first tattoo after a friend recommended them. The place was clean, had a relaxing vibe and the guys there were super friendly. I worked with Julian for my tattoo he definitely knows his stuff and made my experience super chill. They have tons and tons of drawings to base your tattoo off of or get ideas but still make it personal to you. I will definitely be going back.
Really awesome experience. Super clean, amazing communication and Shawn was super cool. Love my tattoo.
I got a tattoo done by Dustin and a tattoo done by Matt! They both did amazing and were super fun to talk to during the process. 10/10 recommend!
Love. LOVE. From the staff to the art, you cannot beat Sacred Art! My bestie and I got tattoos here on my annual trip to Oahu. They are beautiful, unique and amazing. Will be back for more!
Josh was amazing, he texted me prior to my arrival to confirm my design. During my session he was very professional, paid attention to detail, and listened to my concerns with color. The reviews are spot on for this location, we found them via TikTok and reviews. If I’m in Hawaii again, I will definitely return. Thx Josh
Worked with Spade, great experience. Very nice finish and didnt take alot of time at all. Overall very good.
We were a party of 3 and they were able to take us in as walkins. The vibe in the shop was super chill. My artist was Nate and he drew up my design and it came out amazing! Definitely recommend.
Nate was awesome! Great artist and very professional! The shop is great! Excellent work and sweet way to end my Hawaiian vacation! Mahalo! 🤙
I went in and explained we were interested in a tattoo, she explained that it would be best to get it after we enjoy our vacation because we would need to stay out of the son, beach ⛱️ and pool. We made an appointment for the night before we leave. Good looking out 😊
I got tattooed by Matt on mother’s day, it was a big shoulder/arm piece, pricing was very reasonable and he’s just such a good artist and person that i had to come back again the day after and get inked by Curtis, and again absolutely wonderful, all the artists here are amazing and i would recommend this place to anyone on vacation or even if you just live here!
Shawn was very detailed, understanding, and made me feel relaxed while tattooing. He did amazing job with my tattoo. Better than the picture!
Curtis did an amazing job at my tattoo! And service is amazing as well!
Spade did amazing on my tattoo. it was my first time coming here during a port visit. awesome experience
Went here for a family tattoo; Nate Rose was so friendly and welcoming he did an amazing job. When I’m back in Hawaii I’m definitely coming back to him!
Great place from start to finish! From booking the appointment to the finished product. Everyone is so nice. My tattoo artist was Dustin. He offered me variations of what I wanted and I decided to go with his artistic flare. This is my first tattoo and I love it!! And it’s hard for me to trust anyone because I’m such a perfectionist, but I could tell with Dustin he pays attention to detail. My husband loved Josh (super nice and personable) and loved his work. Julian did a great job and his work was clean. All around great spot. For sure will be visiting them again when we come back to the island!!
Great atmosphere and phenomenal artists. I worked with Jay and we completed a realism half sleeve in eight hours. Amazing work. Very reasonable price for the quality of work that you get. Highly recommend.
Awesome experience! Friendly and did great work!! Next time I’m am in Honolulu I will definitely come back.
Julian was amazing! I came in with an idea and even though in Waikiki, the sea turtle is a popular tattoo, I feel I came out with something original. Thank you for keeping me entertained and professional all at the same time
Spade did an amazing job on this piece! He was able to bring my turtle piece to life. It’s so realistic looking! Super happy with my decision to come here and have Spade do this piece for me! Super easy to book chill vibes and overall good times 🤙🏽🤙🏽
I love my tattoo and the artist was very nice and did a great job. It would’ve been five stars but I was originally quote $250-$300 and it ended up being $450. I don’t mind the price so much as I mind the total being so far off the quote. I didn’t make any changes or requests after I was given the quote. Beside that it was a great experience. Clean shop and I love the finished piece.
S/o to Bam for doing my tattoos while visiting Hawaii! He’s patient helpful and great with his artwork! Definitely recommend
I got Matt to do my Lilo & Stitch tattoo and I’m super happy with it 😊 The colors and design are super cute. Thank you!
Not a fan. Hardly go out of my way to give bad reviews but when it’s bad, I just have to. Don’t visit, much less leave a deposit if you aren’t fully disclosed on eye gouging prices for a small black tattoo, mind you, I have a lot of work done, no newbie here. Should’ve read reviews on here before choosing to go with this shop, unfortunate we weren’t with the other artist that actually have good reviews on here. Clearly the ones we were set up with aren’t mentioned with good rapport, wonder why. Save your time and money, visit elsewhere.
Very easy to schedule appointment. Josh did a wonderful job and I will for sure go back and see him next time. My husband was jealous bc he didnt get one!
On vacation with my wife and was recommended this shop ! Tweety was my artist and she did amazing exactly what I wanted but gave me more! Would recommend to anyone visiting or lives on the island !!!!! Thank you!
Tweety was amazing! She did exactly what I wanted and was so great. I highly recommend this place as well as Tweety!
Shawn was my tattoo artist and he did an amazing job! The tattoo was just what I wanted. 10/10 highly recommend this place!
Mike Hatfield is one of the most professional and interesting tattoo artists you will meet, this dude keeps you entertained, informed and comfortable while tattooing. He’s experienced and you can tell that he is gonna give you his best service any day of the week or weekend, he does amazing work and I cannot wait to get back to Sacred Art Tattoo for more from Hatfield
Love my tattoo! Spade was very quick and was very thorough with the after-care instructions.
Great environment. Even better people! Thank you for the tattoo. The attention to detail Shawn put into the tattoo was phenomenal. Highly recommend using Shawn for any tattoo needs.
What an incredible experience. We came in a day ahead to discuss what we wanted and each of us were placed with incredible artists. Nate took time to work with me and discuss what I wanted prior to the incredible work under the needle. Dustin took time to work with Taylor making sure she got exactly what she wanted in the location she preferred. These guys and this studio gave us an incredible experience on our incredible trip to Waikiki.
Got my tattoo from @brags_tattoo , he was so sweet and super great work! Everyone here was super nice and the place is super clean! Flying back to get a bigger one soon!
This location is on Ala Moana Blvd. Not to be confused with their other, nearby location on Kalakaua Ave., further in Waikiki (coffee shop) l do not recommended that location. Easy to make an appointment. I was there in just over an hour after I called, and they were able to take me. The vibe was relaxing and welcoming. The shop is clean. Spade was my artist for my tattoo. He was professional and helpful while also being patient with helping me choose my design. His work was clean and painless. Matt who also does tattoos eagerly helped me choose piercing hardware. He also helped me install new hardware I had purchased. The 2 nose rings were super cute and just what I had been looking for. He was gentle, sanitary, and throughly explained all I needed to know. Including aftercare. I enjoyed the experience. Dannie, who was at the front made the experience even more pleasant. I used the piercer and the artist Smokey at the Kalakaua location and hands down, I wouldnt recommend going there. I cant trust that location based on my experiences there. But I recommend Matt, Spade and the service of Dannie at the Ala Moana location. Mahalo fam.
Had a great experience with Spade today! Was very helpful in getting me exactly what I wanted.
Got my Hula Girl done by Matt, really happy with the end result!
The team at Sacred Art was great and efficient. If you’re looking for someone with steady hands and great shading you need to ask for Brags!
We arrange to have family tattoos at the end of our trip. Visit them for your next tattoo to take home a piece of Hawai’i.
Got my first tat with spade, great service didn’t rush when creating a design and was very flexible in time. 10/10 recommend yurrrrrrrr!!!!
Just got my tattoo done absolutely amazing done by spade he did so good 😊 Love love love !!!
Tatted by Bam at Sacred Art and literally an unexpected session. Very clean work. Very thorough and I appreciate his knowledge of the work he added to my request. We will be back. Mahalo🌺🙏
Daniel is the man!Got my first tattoo here a week ago and the experience was awesome. This shop has a great vibe and awesome people who work there. If youre thinking about going in for some work, do it - you wont regret it. I spent a little over 5 hours in the chair and Daniel was great. He made sure we took breaks, even if I didnt think I needed them, kept asking to make sure I was doing alright and had some good conversation. Couldnt be happier with the end result and will definitely be back for more next time I visit Oahu.
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
This place is great and Jay the owner does amazing work. I went to get tattooed by Jay, he thought it was one flower but I wanted much more. He canceled his plans he had and stayed and did my tattoo. I didn’t feel rush and his work is fire. If you’re looking for a quality tattoo I definitely recommend!!!
Spade gave me best most memorable first tattoo, I will be going back for all other tattoos!!!! These people are amazing!
I came in as a walk in and ended up booking an appointment a couple days later I came in and Spade, my artist for my appointment, had already drawn up a couple ideas based off my original plan. He incorporated all the things I wanted into an awesome chest piece! Highly recommend staff is professional and very knowledgeable!
