Great experience. They were able to get us in with only 2 days notice. Easy to chat with over the text app on website. Gave very clear instructions on how to get there and where to park. Parking was essentially free minus a couple bucks. Had safe covered garage parking across the street. Front desk staff was kind and inviting. Clean fun shop. 2 thumbs up.
Traveled from Illinois, and was not disappointed. The staff was great at working with me via email prior to my trip. Once we got there, we were greeted by Tina at front desk. She was super nice and helpful. My artist ,Mike, was very easygoing and professional. The tattoo came out beautifully. I highly recommend Tattoolicious if youre looking to get tattooed while in Hawaii.
I have been here twice to work with Andy King, first time in 2020 and the second just yesterday (june 2024) and I can’t recommend him enough! Pays close attention to detail, quick, friendly, creative, everything you look for in an artist. The shop is super cool, very clean, the set up is neat, they play GREAT music, has a coffee shop attached, and the entire staff is super friendly, as I said I can’t recommend Andy enough but any artist you choose to go to at this shop will be superb. Shout out to to the front women, Tina and Mel, for your help setting everything up! Can’t wait for next time!
Andy did an outstanding job! Devin made it so easy to plan out my appt, considering I wasnt sure when exactly I would be available due to work. The way they do business is perfect and stream-lined! Highly recommend!
Tattoolicious is my favorite tattoo shop I’ve ever been to. We came upon it on our last trip to Honolulu in 2022, and my sister and I both were able to get tattoos done sort of last minute. The staff worked with us to schedule appointments with artists we liked that also fit our schedule. My tattoo done by Keith is my favorite one I have on my body. I felt safe and comfortable in this shop and everything is exceptionally clean. I’ve been waiting for the opportunity to come back and get more work done since then, and will be getting more work done by Keith this week. I am also flying back to Honolulu in 2 weeks to get additional work done by Bronson. This is the type of shop and the high quality artists you should travel for. If anyone I know is ever in Honolulu and is looking to get a tattoo, I always recommend Tattoolicious. Everyone who works here is incredible - both friendly and talented. If you’re wanting work done, this is the only place to go!
I recently booked with Keith at Tattoolicious. I love what he has created for others, especially his traditional work. I told him the gist of what I wanted in consultation a few weeks earlier, and he designed a beautiful piece. I could not have asked for a better experience. I’m already booked with Keith for my next tattoo.Fairly priced, especially when you account for the professional facilities and location.Tina and Mel, at front desk, are super friendly and squared away.
I had an amazing experience at tattoolicious! I came in without an appointment and luckily was able to meet with an artist right away. Everyone was super friendly and welcoming and my tattoo artist came up with a design that I absolutely loved!
Booked in with Tommy for tonight he did a small flower for me last year as a walk in. I was so happy he was still there. I sent him a picture of what I wanted to add to the original one he did last year. WOW! I even got emotional when he finished. Way better than the picture I sent him. His attention to detail is incredible! I will be back again next year when we visit Hawaii. Tommy from the bottom of my heart Thank You! Thank You! Your an amazing artist!
I was struck by the beauty of Hawaii. I hadnt gotten a tattoo since 2018, but I really wanted to get one to signify this trip and the beauty and happiness I experienced. After doing some research, I found Andy at Tattoolicious. We had a meet and greet where I showed him what I liked and what style I did not like. I left it with him, and he said he would send me some premlimary drawings. After he sent me the drawings, he was very easy to work with and to adjust any input I had. Once I decided on a final drawing, Andy got to work. He was so focused and invested in his work. I could tell that his work was so important to him and he was completely in a zone. The term is cliche, but Andy understood the assignment. During the 5.5 hour process, I felt completely comfortable and if I had any desire to change positions or take a break, he would have been more then happy to do so. Im beyond excited with the final product!!!!! He is beyond talented and his work shows that!!!
Great Shop! Lai, Tony, and Huevo are awesome artists! Make your Vacation more memorable and stop in we had appointments but they do walk-ins.
TattooliciousMelDevinKeithVacation planned a couple of month ago to visit Oahu for the first time. Also, have been looking for a quality artist for my next piece; a tribute to my mother who passed last year. I found Tattoolicious online and read some reviews then made a phone call. Mel was the first to pickup and was there along the way through making an introduction to Devin, helping with last minute questions I had before I arrived and even being available when I couldn’t find the parking garage that they validate for.Devin listened to my thoughts about my piece and recommended an artist named Keith; who’s been in the game for over 25 years. Keith and I met the day before our scheduled time to discuss a couple of details and then it was on! Keith got to work and laid out my most meaningful piece so far and did it with such a light hand that my wife; who was watching, is now thinking about getting one from Keith next year when we come back!Ty to the entire Tattoolicious Team and Ty to Keith for staying awake! Hahaha inside joke
If you visit Hawaii and have $200 and skin, get a tattoo and take the memory of Hawaii home with you!
After spending several hours researching a good place to get a tattoo during our vacation, I found Tatoolocious. Everything was phenomenal when it came to the caliber of service, until it came to the artwork and design. I sent images in advance and asked if my artist would be sending me a draft of the artwork. Nothing. It’s like the customer service just stopped. They took my deposit and stopped serving me as a customer. Nothing was explained as to the “next steps”. I showed up on time for my appointment and the artist had no idea what I wanted done. I then sat for an hour while he did the art. It took a lot of feedback and we still didn’t get it like I wanted. He argued with me on what he could do verses what I wanted. I should have left. He didn’t understand that I didn’t want a 2D flat clipart image. When I expressed this concern, he said he’d fix it with shading when we did it. His lines on the flower were thin and not clean. The coloring was weak. And again he argued with me. I had to coach him on exactly what to do to make it look better. I had to point out all the spots he missed and were missing color. It was sloppy. I would have had him continue to fix it, but we had a plane to catch.In the end, I am tremendously disappointed, as his portfolio was solid. But I guess my plumeria flowers were not exciting enough for him to really care. After $650, I’m going to have to have an artist here in Boise to fix his work. So disappointed. Do not recommend Tattoolicious.Oh…and no info provided on good aftercare. I don’t care if it’s not the “law”, be a good shop and educate. It’s not hard, one half page printout would suffice.
Huevo was amazing and did such a phenomenal job with our tattoos! Very reasonably priced and did a great job bringing our vision to life. Huevo was such a shining light of a personality too, we had such a fun experience during our session. We will definitely be back!
I did a consultation weeks in advance, but the artist swapped me to another artist last minute without any time for me to adjust what work needed to be done or the prep to get the art I wanted. I was happy with the final result, but it felt rushed and isnt exactly the art design I was hoping for.
Beyond satisfied! About a month ago, when our pet rabbit Dewey died, I reached out to Tattoolicious because we had a trip to Hawaii coming up, and I desperately wanted to get a memorial tattoo while I was here. Jenna was absolutely lovely to deal with by email from abroad and got us both booked in for appointments. Molina, an amazing guest artist, did this tattoo, and the work speaks for itself. Its absolutely phenomenal and worth every penny. I cant stop looking at it and crying about the symbology. I trusted that the reviews were so high for a reason, and you should too. I feel honored and lucky to have been worked on by you, Molina. Thank you, Jenna. You really pulled through for us and didnt disappoint. 6-star!
Everyone here is incredibly friendly, professional, and capable of providing you with the ideal tattoo experience. My artist was Z and she worked with me on designing an amazing and gorgeous piece that blew my expectations out of the water with some of the most intricate line work Ive ever seen.
I did not enjoy writing this review because I love my tattoo artist and I really love all of my tattoos which make me want to keep coming back. I love recommending this shop to others because I am so happy with my tattoos! My tattoo artist is also very kind and I enjoy all my sessions. I definitely rate my tattoos and my artist a 5/5.I have been to Tattoolicious three times. All three times, my tattoo artist has been at least 45 mins late to my appointment. I try my best to give the benefit of the doubt because life happens. Unfortunately this is the 3rd time my artist was very late. I got a confirmation yesterday to confirm my appointment was at 11am. I got in later at 11:30 am because I had a feeling my artist would be late again and I would just have to wait an hour for my appt. My artist still was not there when I showed up and I was already late… then the receptionist told me that the artist mistaken my appointment for 1pm. I was confused on how this could have happened especially since I did receive a confirmation for my appointment via voicemail the day before for 11am. This shows my appointment was in the Tattoolicious schedule system. Either there is a lack of communication between the receptionist and artist or something else is going on. I went to the front to check if my artist was there at 12:50pm and she still was not. I was hoping there would be at least some urgency to come in a little earlier since my artist had made a mistake for the timing of my appointment. I decided to leave because I was very upset, and her not being there at 12:50 means I would have to wait again(past 1pm) for her to setup her equipment. This was such a waste of time and money since I drove back and forth from Kapolei. The least I got was validation for my parking which I still had to pay since the validation was not enough. Customer service rating: 1/5It is honestly inconsiderate of my time and schedule. What makes me even more disappointed is that the tattoo shop keeps letting this happen and only apologizes for it. Apologizing and not doing anything for customers is not sincere. As a paying customer, I should not be the only one on time for my appointment, my tattoo artist should be ready. If this is something that keeps happening, I should at least be compensated or at least receive a discount which I have not received what so ever. This saddens me because again, I love the tattoos I have gotten from this place.
I went to this place yesterday as walk in, i felt a bit nervous but all staff ,are so friendly ,they let me making appointment smoothly and the tatoo artist named Adriaan,he gave me a perfect tatoo design and his skill was amazing :)He is super professional,and super nice person.It was beyond my expectations.Ill definitely come back to get another tatoo from him again.
My wife and I got matching roses with our wedding date by Tommy and we LOVE THEM.Couldn’t be happier with how they turned out! Tommy is a great guy to talk to super down to earth !We will 100 percent be back to see Tommy and get more work done.Best artist in Hawaii no doubt!God bless Tommy!
Worked with Andy on my tattoo. Hes such a calm presence, worked so well collaboratively, and made sure that I knew he was willing to take the time to make changes to the piece he created for me. I have 4 tattoos so far, and the lotus he did is my favorite. The whole experience was amazing. The atmosphere and other artists and staff truly make you feel welcome. I cant wait to go back to expand on another piece I already have.
Spotless salon. Love the steampunk, posh decor. My artist, Enson Park was fantastic. Started with a consultation, he looked at my drawings and listened to me. We then scheduled the work to be done the day I flew out. Everyone was very professional and accommodating. I love my work. Photos dont do it justice as its still healing
Enson did my tattoo, not only is he super smart and fun to talk to, the tattoo is AMAZING!!!! Simply superb quality!! 5 stars!
Amazing shot with friendly staff and amazing artists. Best tattoo Ive ever gotten. The studio is clean and very well organized with ample room for each artist.
Loved it here for the 1 hour I was there. Got a small plumeria flower to commemorate my trip to Hawaii. I have a number of tattoos and feel somewhat qualified to say that Huevo is an awesome artist.As for Tattoolicious, the place was clean and the building was nice inside. The shop felt welcoming too. The receptionist was really kind as well.
Got a tattoo with a guest from Italy Lorenze and was my first ever tattoo, this place is awsome and so are the staffVery well priced and spotless clean, Lorenzo was awsome and Tina on the front desk is a gem
Was privileged to get my very first tat her we in Hawaii. Daughter and I got matching turtles done by Geri the guest artist from Chile. Well done with only slight glitch communicating. All turned out and we are very pleased.
Great shop. Been going since 2015 and quality hasn’t faltered. It’s very clean and professional! I highly recommend looking at artist profiles on their website and instagrams. Parking is kind of a pain but otherwise, no complaints.
The shop was extremely well kept and beautiful. I didnt get any pictures but it was a dark industrial theme. Loved it.Our tattoo artist was Andy and he did a great job. He was great at explaining the process and talking if you wanted to during the tattoo.I would recommend this shop. We went while on vacation and I would go again if we go on vacation to Honolulu again.
Huevo did an amazing job on me and my husbands stitch tattoos!!! Definitely recommend going to this amazing place, they have some very talented artists. I am also super terrified of needles and have a very low pain tolerance but he made sure I was comfortable the whole time and kept checking on me
Mike is the man. Super cool dude, super quick, great line work and color work. If and when I am back in Honolulu, I will be going back to him for more work. Loving my new tattoo. Thanks man!
Michael Russell did my amazing manta ray tattoo! Front desk ladies were so helpful and kind! Shop is clean and spacious when you go in the back for your actual tattoo. Planning on getting more soon~
I had Libra as my artist, & he was amazing!!! I was getting a turtle on the top of my foot & let me tell you its true when they say that is a painful spot. This is my 3rd tattoo but by far the absolute best one in my collection!! I felt very honored to be getting a tattoo from someone who has been in the industry for 30 yrs., he was super kind & had the lightest touch out of anyone that Ive been tattooed by. Ive had the tattoo now for a week & it is healing perfectly! I brought Libra a base idea of what I wanted done & told him that if he had any ideas on improving that he had full reign. Let me tell you he did not disappoint! By allowing him that freedom w/ the design he gave me a tattoo that was so much better than what I had brought him & I ABSOLUTELY love it!! By far & away would recommend this whole shop to anyone looking to get a tattoo! The whole shop from front management to all the artists are super friendly, clean, & know exactly what they are doing!!
I am so in love with my very first tattoo! I walked in on very short notice and Dave took the time to find the perfect fit for me! Thank you so much!
I couldnt say enough about my experience at Tattoolicious. Michael Russell (@Mistahrussell) did an amazing job on my tattoo. If you have any doubt about getting a tattoo at this place, dont. They are good, knowledgeable, and friendly. If I get another tattoo in the future, I will be back! Remember, cheap tattoos arent good, and good tattoos arent cheap. FYI, they really arent bad on their prices. Thank you again for a great experience! 👍
I love Tattoolicious Tattoo so awesome. Thanks so much.Tattoolicious.n awesome n beautiful friendly staffs.my tattoo artist Andy.thank you.so much.
I wanted to get a simple tattoo while visiting Hawaii. I reached out to the shop and they were very responsive and helpful. Keith did the tattoo and he was awesome!
Looks like professional tattoo artist in this location but a couple of the artists not friendly and not really willing to talk about what you want or offer any suggestions. So if you dont know exactly what you want then steer clear of this place.
My husband and I wanted a forever keepsake of our honeymoon and time in Hawai’i! Chad was great! Highly recommend!! Ohana means family 😊
Very nice place. clean and good atmosphere. the waiting area, reception desk, and tattoo area are all separate rooms. there’s a coffee place in there too, but it was unfortunately closed in the evening when i went. i got tattooed by a guest artist, but based on their instagrams, the resident artists are very talented too. receptionist was very nice as well
Clean and large salon with many talented artists. Being on vacation, I called on a Thursday and got in for an express afternoon appointment on Friday. No better place to get my honu tattoo than Hawaii! Took about an hour from start of tattooing to finish. Artist gave me exactly what I wanted and did a phenomenal job!
Was visiting Oahu on vacation and was looking to add to my mountain tattoo I already had. Communication between their consulting team and the front desk for scheduling was easy and prompt. They helped match with me an artist (Tommy) for the style I was looking for. We had a consult about a week before my appt. On appt day he had a drawing of what we talked about ready and was open to my suggestions and questions before we finalized the design. My new tattoo is beautiful and so happy I got to work with Tommy.
LOVE my tattoo done by Chad. He was very patient with me, made a few awesome suggestions, and made sure I liked the placement. He was also soft handed so not much pain! I took a nap while being tattooed! This establishment is clean! AC blowing and enjoyable!
I was there on vacation and decided to get a tattoo. I saw their ad in a tourist magazine so I wasnt sure but I used their contact button. We did everything by email, and Tommie did an AWESOME job!! Thanks for being so great!!
My partner got tattooed by Jason Lawyer (@sketchylawyer)who did an awesome job! The studio was clean and modern with an inbuilt coffee shop, the tattooists were big on sanitation & mitigating contamination. The atmosphere was great. The staff all looked really happy to be there and were so supportive/encouraging of each other. A real ohana vibe.Jason and his colleague (the next chair over) were so friendly - was a pleasure to spend the better part of 7hrs with them!
I wanted to have a typical Polynesian tattoo. Joshua Flinn tattooed the tattoo without an original. So I did not know what it would look like before. I was more than positively surprised. It more than exceeded my expectations. It is so accurate and clean worked. Even the small details have become perfect. Priced, I am also completely satisfied. It is very important to hygiene. The store is clean and tidy. I can only recommend the shop. Greetings from Hamburg Germany! Florian
Heuvo did a great job designing what I wanted just from me describing what I wanted
Went here to get a matching tattoo with my mom and sister for our vacation. Very grateful they were able to get us on the schedule with about a 2 week notice. Sebastian huevo was our artist and deserves a 5 star, it was such a comfortable experience. He was also such a naturally funny guy and his work is clean and well detailed! The only problem I had with the shop was the lack of communication. When scheduling with Devin he had suggested Dr Will for a fine line tattoo knowing our budget was $100-150. When scheduling I was under the impression this was the artist doing the tattoo, but when we got there I found out his minimum was $300 and that he wasn’t there. I am still grateful for who we we’re scheduled with, but in the future I think their communication needs to be more thought through. Overall thank you so much huevo! My mom hasn’t gotten a tattoo in a long time and you made our experience so much fun together :)
My husband and I wanted matching tattoos and Thank God we found Tommy at this shop. Super easy to schedule an get our appointment set. We got a Beautiful set of matching rose tattoos with our wedding date in Roman numerals what an amazing way to end our vacation we would literally travel back to Oahu to have Tommy do our tattoos again!We Loved our experience with Tommy God bless him🤍🙌🏻
Tattoo is beautiful. When I called to see if they could take me as a walk in they let me know and called me multiple times to give me updates on availability. Tattoo was painless and over in less that 30mins.Update:I wanted to wait a few years (5yrs to be exact) before really giving an honest review. For a first tattoo I couldnt have gone anywhere better. The shop was extremely open and clean, both tattoos I got and the matching hooves my mom got that day healed wonderfully considering location of them (wrist and top of foot) with only minor ink rejection to the one on my wrist. The tattoo artist I had (forgot his name, but hes from peru) was extremely nice and non judgmental to the tattoo I was asking for. Not to mention how nice and personable the other artists there were! If I lived closer this would 100% be a regular shop for me. 100/10 would be back again!
Had feet tattoos done by Mr. Russell and they turned out amazing. He was professional and did an amazing job, I cannot even tell you the amount of times I have been complemented on his artwork. The shop is very clean, looks amazing inside, and all of the staff was great to work with. I look forward to getting additional work done here in the future.
The front desk employees greeted us with so much positive energy and took our walk in appointment with no issues. Jack did a phenomenal job taking care of us! We got pokeballs on our wrists. Everything was clean, line work impeccable, very accommodating! If you want a good tattoo, come here!
Making an appointment was easy and the help to find the right assist for my tattoo idea was great! Devin was very helpful. Huevo did my tattoo and he was amazing! Fun to talk to and kind. Incredibly talented. I’m excited for my next appointment with him to finish my sleeve.
Great all around experience. Everyone working there was very friendly and I felt stoked to be there. The entire process from start to finish was fun. I got a get what you get tattoo. What I got out of the machine was awesome. Keith was my artist and man, he did an excellent job. He was friendly, professional and his skills are beyond excellent. Definitely one of my favorite tattoos I have. I walked away from there stoked on an incredible tattoo and feeling like they appreciated me for coming into their shop. Tattoolicious will have my business from now on.
This is hands down the cleanest, nicest tattoo shop Ive ever seen. The fact that children are not permitted in the tattooing area speaks to their commitment to cleanliness as well. The artists are fantastic and pricing is very reasonable for something that will last a lifetime.
A year ago I got tattooed here and it was a horrible experience.My tattoo artist didn’t take his time tattooing me. It was disappointing and I remember the needle being so painful to my skin! I tried so many times to tell my artist Jason Lawyer that it hurts more than normal because it wasn’t my first tattoo. I knew it wasn’t suppose to hurt like it did and he kept saying it’s suppose to hurt like this and kept going on for 4 hours! I remember that being the worst 4 hours ever and now look at how my tattoo turned out! I also knew my tattoo wasn’t healing properly. I followed the “Tattoo aftercare” suggestions and my tattoo just looks like it’s cracking and not healing properly. I reached out to Tattoolicious and never got a response as well...I wish, I never had went to this shop... I’m so upset on how I talked so highly about this shop & my artist. I trusted him to do this on my skin forever. I look at my tattoo and want to cry every time I look at it! I hate when people ask me why my tattoo looks like this and why does it look so bold and why the lines are uneven... I wear long sleeves now because of it.I really did love the tattoos I seen on their Website, Instagram, & each artist Instagram/artist books. Unfortunately I didn’t get to be one of the lucky ones to receive a good tattoo. And this would be my last tattoo cause now I’m traumatized.
My experience with Tattoo Lucious was amazing and awesome, but it started before I even took my first step into the shop!I emailed a month before my appointment and Devon did a great job pairing me up with a suitable artist for my preferred style. Devon was thorough with my tattoo requests, consultation and sitting times and dates...he also had great followup to reconfirm my appointments were set. The entire booking was stress-free with no issues.My artist, Andy was incredible. During the consult, he listened to my requests. The following day for my tattoo, he presented me with an authentic and beautiful rendition...an original piece of art!Mahalo nui!
Everyone was amazing. Huevo did an amazing job and gave me exactly what I wanted.
While on our honeymoon, my wife and I decided to stop by and get a souvenir to last a lifetime; matching tattoos. Mike aka mistahrussel made us feel at home and did an amazing job on our pieces. Comfortable and up to date environment and fair prices. Kudos to the whole shop! If we’re ever back in Hawaii we plan to go back.
I have been thinking of getting this very specific tattoo for almost 20yrs. I saw this shop had great reviews and had to reach out- they were timely, helpful, and I booked that day. I saw Dr Will a few days later and I cannot stress how much I love it! The experience was great- I was comfortable and laughed a good portion of the time with easy conversation with the artists. 10/10 recommend!!!
Walked in with an idea, the receptionist set me up with an artist whose style fit my idea and got an appointment for 2 days later. I think Mike did a great job. Update from 5 months later went back with a new idea for Mike, he knocked it out of the park again.
Great place to get a tattoo.Scheduled with Dr Will.He designed a great tattoo to be just what my wife wanted. As this was her first tattoo he made her feel very comfortable through the whole process.When he was done Dr Will still was able to give me another tattoo.From the moment we walked in the door the staff was awesome to be around.We arrived early and enjoyed our time waiting at the coffee shop, good food and drinks.We also checked out what the other artists were doing, Awesome, alot of talented people working here.If youre vacationing in Waikiki or live here I would recommend getting a tattoo here.
Such a cool shop with down to earth people. They made the process extremely easy to schedule an appointment while I was going to be on the island for vacation. Clean space and beautiful work. I was traveling home that night and they even gave me extra wraps and bandages so I could clean my tattoo and wrap it prior to boarding. Definitely recommend!
The environment was nice, clean; however the professionalism was bad. I scheduled my tattoo in advance, and brought my mother and aunt along for them to get one too. We all had booked appointments and showed up 15 min ahead of time. All of our tattoo artists were a hour late. None of them had the tattoos prepared that we sent reference pictures for; beforehand. Then my tattoo person kept referring to my family as my friends, after being corrected. The tattoos took less then a hour and he charged me 500; for 1 tattoo. The tattoo was super simple. At these prices you can get the same quality work, for less. I wish I could have got my money back.
I posted in a facebook group I’m in about tattoo places on the island, and this one got raving reviews!! Someone said she had Keith do her tattoo which was very similar to the one I wanted. I booked the consultation, got a call, confirmed what I wanted and booked with Keith. I gave him a general idea and Keith did a truly amazing job!! IMy piece is in memory of my mom (who passed a year ago on Oct 5th) and celebrating her was why we chose to come to Hawaii. I wanted a destination piece with a sea turtle that had her birth stone colors in it that also represented her and I couldn’t be happier! It truly came out better than I envisioned. I will not stop recommending this place! The image on paper was what I sent them, but I wanted it to be done however he interpreted it! Get the tattoo and you won’t regret it!
I had two tattoos with Dr. Will today. It was a great experienced. Professional, real artist and funny. I really enjoyed the time in this placed and my tattoos was just what I wanted! I do recommend and definitely I will go back soon!
Great experience! Everything ran smoothly and the tattoos were great! Not bad pricing either.
You won’t regret going here. I worked with Greta, who by the way is incredible. From the minute I walked in to walking out, I felt absolutely taken care of by every single person. This place runs smoothly and they are so professional and overall wonderful! Greta understood I was nervous about the process & pain (even my little tiny baby tattoos lol) and was so kind and gentle with me. This was an outstanding experience for someone with a low pain tolerance. There are so many tattoo shops in Waikiki and I have to say this one stood out from the rest and I’m so delighted I went here. Can’t recommend Greta enough!!!!
Very nice and clean place..had me waiting for about 3 hours to start the session tho but nice tattoo os worth the wait
Great place to get a tattoo. Beautiful and clean and everyone there was so nice. Krystel did a watercolor rainbow to go with my flying fox and it was more amazing than I could have imagined.
Definitely make an appointment. Very talented group of tattoo artists. They book up fast. If you want a tattoo while on vacation in Honolulu, this is the place to go!
Great shop. Great artists. Look for Sketchy Lawyer.If you are lucky to schedule an appointment, I highly recommend. Dope work. Thank you my man. See you soon.
Had a date with the very lovely Maki! She was very gentle, and absolutely adorable. Shop is very clean, and covid precautions are in place and carried out. Definitely recommend this shop!
I’ll start by saying the receptionist was fantastic and very friendly. The shop was clean and organized. Another friend worked with a different artist and got everything he wanted and more. Now I went in for two 3 inch tattoos on my ribs with the appointment booked for a month. Not only was my artist 40 minutes late, they also came unprepared after having reference photos for over a month. After an hour and a half negotiating on what to get and settling on something easier as to not overwhelm the artist, I was told my entire shirt had to be taken off. Mind you it’s a fishbowl of a room, glass on all sides, and open floor plan where there was easily an additional 16 people in the room. The artist was not willing to work with me in regards to moving the shirt, switching stations to one in the back, one of the rooms. Nothing. It was “Take your shirt off or you can leave” so I left. I understand that every artist has their own way of doing things. This would have been tattoo numbers 7 & 8 for myself and also not the first on my ribs. The fact that Lena was so unwilling to accommodate for my comfort, especially nowadays, floored me. I’ll recommend the shop, but not the artist.
Awesome work done by Enson. My wife and I had a limited time frame for an appointment and this place made it very easy to schedule it. The shop is also insanely nice! Its incredibly clean and spacious. The coffee shop right next door also serves up a mean cup!As for the quality of artwork, their portfolios speak for themselves, nothing short of amazing. They do some pretty incredible things and Ill be returning for another piece the next time were around Honolulu. Mahalo!
We contacted this studio almost 3 weeks before our trip here from TX trying to get tattoos for my husband and myself for my birthday and their communication is the absolute worst. They do not respond they do not communicate and do not do what they say. Fast forward 3 weeks we arrived went in person and they didnt have us scheduled and the artists we requested werent even available and made no attempt to even squeeze us in or resolve the issue. Absolutely worst customer service. I would not recommend. Look for another studio like we are going to.
Super clean and very welcoming from consultation to finished product.
What a fantastic experience from start to finish! Before I get started on how wonderful my artist Mike was, I just want to mention the reason I chose this shop in the first place. While I was planning my honeymoon I wanted to get a tattoo while in Oahu and did a little research on finding a shop. As it was a little daunting looking in advance, from the first contact with Tattoolicious they went above and beyond to ensure the best experience. From helping me choose the best artist to fit the style I was looking for (which was hard as all the artists work is incredible), to the quick responses and guidance I was so grateful of their help through it all.In arriving to the shop I loved how clean the shop is, the ambiance and the friendly employees from the front desk to the various artists. This instantly set me at ease and having such a welcoming environment is something that I find very important.I was lucky enough to have Mike be my artist and he was the defining factor of my experience here and why I would recommend him to anyone visiting or thinking of getting a tattoo here on the island. From the beginning to the end he worked to ensure I had exactly what I was looking for and still went above and beyond. He took the simple idea I had and transformed it to give me a unique piece that I will always treasure. Thats what set him apart and why he deserves the title artist as many can have the application but few use that artistic liberty to accentuate every minor detail.Will absolutely come back the next time Im here and cant wait until then!
Enson did this awesome cover up!! Brilliant artist and a credit to the team! Best tattoo place in Oahu!
My only problem with my experience is Ivan. I wouldnt recommend anyone to go to him. He is condescending, rude, and doesnt know how to talk to people. He has a horrible attitude and is very judgemental. He only faked apologize after I called him out on his behavior. Imagine visiting Hawaii and meeting so many friendly people and going to the tattoo shop for what you thought would be a great experience, well, and meeting someone that hates himself and loves to complain because he is unhappy with himself. I wasnt going say anything, but thats unacceptable for anyone. Do better. No one is making you be there. Smh
Absolutely could not give a higher recommendation. Easy 5/5 starsFrom the front desk to the lounge to the tattoo spaces everyone was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The space is clean, well lit and comfortable. Very talented group of people here. Check online for Guest visits.Dont forget to tip your artist if you can 🤙
Had a great time with Mike Russell today. I wanted a trad moth on the back of my hand and from the time I had my consult with him through the actual tattoo the whole experience was great. Showed him some ideas of the direction I wanted to go and he took it from there and drew up a really great rendering. Had some difficulty on my availability and he offered to work with me for a time that worked. The tattoo itself is absolutely great. He has a light hand and the lines are very clean. Shading and color combo he chose is excellent. Very pleased with his work. Great guy to talk with as well. Will absolutely be going back to see him again. I scheduled my wife for an appointment with him on the way out. Thanks for the work Mike! Really great meeting you and Im proud to have your tattoo in such a visible place! Update: March 1,2022. Over the years I have had an entire sleeve done as well as the tops of my feet and throat done here. Mike Russell has done every single bit of my tattoos, all American traditional, and I love every one of them. Mike is extremely fast and does really great work. My throat was a team effort between Mike and Sketchy Lawyer. Mike handled the bold outline and sketchy blasted the color in. It is probably my favorite out of all my tattoos. Sketchy worked very quick as well. These guys are good people, great conversations and amazing artists.
Andreas or whatever is name is didn’t follow the design at all and it turned out awful random lines everywhere and random dots when it was supposed to be line art
My artist designed a piece for me that I call my tiki chef. He was very personable, and the tattoo turned out great! What an awesome experience. 10/10
This place is amazing. They were very friendly and helpful when booking an appointment. My girlfriend and I had the pleasure to work with Mike who was fantastic artist. This was both our first tattoos and he talked us through every step. He crafted up exactly what we wanted Really enjoyed the experience and highly recommend!
My experience here could not have been better! My artist was Mike who was willing to come in early before the shop opened to do my tattoo. Absolutely the most personable tattoo artist I’ve had the pleasure of working with. Front desk staff was also amazing and returned emails right away. Will definitely be back!
The place was very clean, great atmosphere, and friendly staff! Katie was my tattoo artist and she was awesome. She was gentle and precise. My tattoo turned out really good. It was a great experience! I will definitely be back and hopefully get to work with Katie again.
The level of unprofessionalism here is unprecedented. I scheduled a tattoo, chose an artist and placed a deposit. Not only did I not receive the artist I requested, the artist I did receive was hours late, because he was out surfing. I had submitted some ideas and references prior to my appointment, which were ignored and he instead slapped together something last minute. Admittedly the tattoo came out okay, but as an artist myself and knowing that this is a permanent feature of my body, I am incredibly dissatisfied. I was too nervous to speak up for myself at this time, as this was in 2018, but I recommend anyone looking to get tattooed look elsewhere.
Absolutely do not go here. Especially if you have an accent and are foreign. They will intentionally rip you off like they did my friend. $600 for a 3 by 2 piece. Took an hour and a half. They discriminate by hearing an accent and sensing easy prey. How awful of them. If you are going to charge prices like that for mediocre work at least give a quote beforehand and not at the end of the session so the client can look you in the face, laugh, walk out, and leave a bad review. If I could give zero stars I would.
First & foremost the front desk attendants are welcoming & very sweet. Katie was my wife’s tattoo artist, at the consult she was very informative & suggested some cool ideas. Throughout the whole tattoo process Katie was delicate & graceful. The tattoo came out beyond our expectations. The shop itself looks professional & is very clean. It is very comforting and welcoming. I would recommend this shop to anybody. Definitely will be coming back for more work for myself and my wife.
Whenever I travel, I like to take a tattoo or piercing along with me when I go. I researched quite a bit before landing on Tattoolicious - and then Mikes portfolio! The communication (Tina was awesome!) was prompt and kind, and the process of scheduling my consult, and leaving a deposit was super easy (I am in TX). They worked with me on timing since nothing ever goes to plan on vacation.Mike was rad to meet with. He already had ideas in mind, and was super professional. He took time to make sure we picked the ideal spot for the piece, and really tailored it to fit my ongoing half sleeve.The shop was immaculate - clean, welcoming, really nicely put together, and comfortable! Mike did an amazing job from start to finish, and I WILL be back on my next trip to the Oahu island.10/10 recommend this shop, and Mike (should he fit your tattoo aesthetics!) - Also, Mike will 100% recommend a fellow artist at his shop if he feels like the tattoo you want from him is not something he does or will do how you want.
Professional operation. Super clean and incredibly talented artists. Thanks to artist Mike Russell (Instagram @mistahrussell)for my awesome piece commemorating my 1st trip to Oahu! I love it!
My experience here was great. It’s been probably 10 years since I’ve had a tattoo and I had certain apprehensions about it, but these people are so professional and warm that it all went incredibly well. Leo was my artist and he was very methodical, careful, and just conscientious of making a quality piece of art. They graciously accommodated a quick schedule for my wife my daughter, and I, which we really appreciated. Great place, highly recommended.
If I could give zero stars I would. Avoid this place like the plague. They will tell you one price and then when you go to pay and leave they will charge you hundreds extra. My quote was 400$ and ended up being charged 800$. The artists produce good work but the place is a complete scam. The receptionist is also one of the rudest people I have ever met. Save yourself a nightmare situation and do not go here.Also for some reason Google reviews are high and I have no idea why. If you check on yelp and other rating sites many people have stated that they have gone through similar situations like I did
Love our tattoos that we got from Tattoolicious. Booking the appointment was super easy, everyone was so friendly and very helpful. We met with Mike for a consultation and we got good vibes all around. Mike did an amazing job on our tattoos. We would definitely make another appointment to see him again when we go back.
Great experience. The waiting room is nice and comfortable and the staff is really nice, knowledgeable and professional. Zee did an amazing job and gave me exactly what I wanted. Best place for tattoos on the island.
Came in at the end of our Hawaii vacation as a walk in due to a last minute bright idea. I called and they were super helpful with directions and parking instructions. I gave Mike a bunch ideas and he drew up an awesome idea in 20 minutes that was perfect for me. I’ve had a lot of tattoos and this was by far the nicest shop I’ve been in and Mike had a really light hand and did an awesome job. Definitely recommend this shop hands down. Thank you for the vacation memory!
Katie did an good job! We loved ours and how she did the waterfall.Updated.I know this was a few months ago but life happened. But just wanted to give an update as we have had time to look and think about our experience here.We made an appointment to get a tattoo while we were here for our honeymoon. We missed our first appointment and they worked with us to get another one set up. They were awesome. At our appointment we had said what we wanted and mostly we wanted “22” in it some how. As we left to enjoy our time there we booked our appointment to get the tattoos.We arrived just in time for our appointment and as we were checking in our artist, Katie, walks in a few minutes later. We then waiting in the waiting room for about an hour while she drew up the design we asked. When she came out to show us we said that we wanted the “22” in there and she told us yes we can do that. So we said ok. She left to get ready and had us come back. She did a great job at making sure we were comfortable! But once we got done my husband realized there still wasn’t a “22” like we specifically asked for. We also asked for a little bit of color. I’m kinda new to the tattoo world but the only color I got was gray and black. My husband asked for more color and got black, gray, white, and blue.I didn’t feel she communicated very well with us.Lastly when I got home and mine healed I noticed she didn’t have straight lines to outline mine and the shading looks bad. We still love our waterfall and don’t regret them. Just wish she would’ve done what we asked and didn’t make us wait when we took the time to meet in advance to have it done right and still didn’t do all we had asked.Overall I give it a 3 stars. As staff was very friendly and helpful. The place was very clean and well kept. Just disappointed with the end result
Literally did such a better job with helping me create a tattoo idea I couldnt even think of on my own. Gave me a tattoo I absolutely love to celebrate my first time in Hawaii.
Amazing experience at Tattoolicious with Katie Mack. Thanks so much, I couldn’t be happier with the results, shop is giant and clean, everyone super friendly, and there’s even a coffee shop inside! receptionist helped us out big time too and was super receptive to all our questions. Communication smooth throughout the process. And of course, extremely talented individuals working here! Go here! Just do it.
The best experience! From the moment you walk through the door it’s amazing, truly creative artist who will sit and talk with you about your piece and your vision for it. My tattoo artist was Katie and she did a phenomenal job, she took my idea and made it 100X better. I love my Tattoolicious original piece!Thank Thank You for a truly wonderful experience!
Mike was great and fit both my husband and I in as walk ins. Has some of the best original flash and can whip up your idea and bring it to life! Will definitely swing back in for more work next time we are there.
My first tattoo ever!! I was assisted by an efficient and friendly receptionist who I believe was also the person I made the reservation with. The tattoo artist was Leo. Super friendly, creative and professional. I am so happy with my (simple but perfect) butterflies on my arm. Great job!
I loved my experience at Tattoolicious everyone is super friendly. I had Lorenzo do my tattoo I am so happy I got to meet him while he was on island, he did such a great job. He works quickly and does phenomenal work!! Highly recommend Tattoolicious and I will definitely come back for my next
Very clean and welcoming. I swore I wasnt going to get a tattoo in Waikiki but this place had great reviews and I was not disappointed with the work I had done. My artist was a visiting artist from Chile and he did a great job! Im very happy. Definitely recommend.
Came in during my trip to the island as a walk-in at 12 and I was greeted with amazing friendliness and this shop runs like a well oiled machine! Highly efficient and the quality of the artists is unmatched!I will definitely be back on my next trip to add to the piece from Mike! Great artist and great conversation.Thanks!
Andy was super awesome! He worked with me on my tattoo and made sure I loved it before starting. He was super patient with me when I needed breaks and was thorough but also efficient. Quality of the finished tattoo is fantastic and I’m so excited to show it off!
I wanted to praise Tattoolicious and the work I had done there recently. My artist was Andy, and he was great to work with. His artwork is great and is talent is right up there with everything else about this visit. The shop and staff are professional, friendly, & very accommodating to schedules. I made my appointment for the one day I had on Oahu between islands and they are happy to make it happen. I will recommend them and will return someday for more work.
Ridiculously overpriced. I was on vacation and wanted a tattoo. They quoted me $600-800 for something that was no more than $200 back home. I explained that was too high and they asked me what range I’m looking for, I explained $200-$300, the guy said I’ll talk to the artist it’s possible blah blah blah I’ll call you back.. they never called back but I wasn’t going back regardless.. prices are way too high. They’re taking advantage of tourists.
The cutest tattoo shop ever! With the friendliest crew who did an amazing job on my wrist tattoo!! If I ever get the chance to come back, I will definitely be coming to this shop also, the coffee shop next door, amazing! Coffee and tattoo all in one area!! Soo cute! Thank you!! ❤️
Great tattoo! Andy did an amazing job! No complaints here! Thank you
Decided to get my first tattoo done at Tattolicious based on a friend recommendation.I had an idea of what Ive wanted so after a quick research I decided to go with Sketchy Lawyer based on his designs and his amazing color tattoos.I scheduled a consultation with him that didnt take more than 10min, showed him photos for reference and he simply said I gotcha you.The tattoo was done in two sessions, first one was the outline and the black shading and then second one was for the color.Sketchy is extremely talented and detail oriented. He listens to your wishes and he delivers. I couldnt be happier how my tattoo turned out and how much detail was put into it.This being my first tattoo I was nervous about my pain tolerance but Sketchy moves fast and has extremely calming presence that I was able to sit through with no problem and with a smile on my face.The rest of other artists are extremely friendly and connected with each other. Very uplifting and positive energy in the shop.The owner is kind and friendly and the ladies at the front desk are just sweethearts.I highly recommend the shop and Sketchy. He gets booked fast but its totally worth the wait. You will get a piece of art that you can cherish forever.
I decided to get a tattoo on me and my wifes 10th anniversary vacation (was going to get one on our honeymoon, but the cards just didnt fall right), and after seeing some of Joshua Flinns work, knew he was the one to do it. His style of Polynesian and water color (a style he came up with - Polynesian Watercolor Fusion) was exactly what I was looking for. This was going to be my first tattoo, so I wanted an experienced artist and an clean place to get it at. Tattoolicious seemed to be a very clean, upscale place to scar my body for life ;) Upon arriving, I was not disappointed. All of the staff was super friendly and accommodating. I had emailed Josh ahead of time and described what I was wanting to get, so he had me a design all drawn up. Josh was very great about everything. He made us feel at home and we were very comfortable with the entire process. I didnt know what to expect, pain-wise, but it turned out that Josh is very experienced, and what little pain I did have was negligible. I probably could have went to sleep in the chair if Id have wanted! I was in the chair probably around 3 to 3 1/2 hours total to get my tattoo (Josh was very good about taking breaks if I needed), and it turned out amazing! The watercolor that Josh put into the tattoo surpassed my expectations, and its my favorite of all of the ones Ive seen! If you have ever considered getting a tattoo and were intimidated by some of the sketchy locations and artists, this is the place to go. Very upscale, clean, and inviting. The staff couldnt have been more friendly, and definitely ask for Josh!
Online research before a trip to Oahu convinced me that this shop was the best place to get a tattoo to remember this trip, and I am very happy to say I made the right choice.Awesome experience at this shop. Friendly, helpful greeting and information from Pixie, who set up a consult with Mike.An appointment was made for the following week, with a reminder courtesy call the day before from Pixie.On the day of the appointment, service was again excellent: prompt, polite, and professional.Mike created a great work of art, patiently and expertly explaining the reasons around the specific details and giving me a history about the style I had chosen.The shop is clean, staff is courteous, artists are amazing. Just look at their work...it speaks for itself.I unhesitatingly recommend Tattoolicious for anybody wanting a great tattoo in Honolulu!
Keith is an awesome artist. He does clean and reliable work. He helped bring this memorable piece to life. Bad pic on my behalf because it doesnt do the tattoo justice.
Tattoolicious is by far the most enjoyable tattoo experience I have ever had. From the consultation to the actual appointment, the staff was prompt, professional, and willing to go to great lengths to give you the art you will be proud of for years. All of the artist there are phenomenal at their craft and provide a comfortable atmosphere. The artist I chose was Liz, who took her time to ensure it was done right and went above and beyond what was expected. I cannot say enough positive things about these artist! If you are looking for beautiful art to show off in Hawaii; plan ahead, do your research, and put your faith in tattolicious.
Tattoolicious went above and beyond our expectations. They were very prompt in communicating with us and making sure we were taken care of. When we were at the shop we were very impressed with how clean and new it was and how promptly we were spoken to and welcomed in. Andy, our artist was very friendly and flexible with us and made our tattoo designs better than what we could have expected. He quoted us for an hour for our visit, and even though it took longer than an hour, he still honored that price. We are very pleased with this shop and will definitely come back again.
Clean and spacious. I was coming from out of state and they were very helpful with getting me set up with an artist and what I wanted. Very friendly staff. James was a great artist. Will definitely go back next time I’m in Hawaii.
Great shop and overall experience. The shop itself has an awesome atmosphere, the workers are super friendly, and the tattoo I received is unique and came out great. I was able to share my ideas with Mike Russell over Instagram before my appointment, and he had some amazing mock up drawings ready to go once I got there. The shop is also connected to a sweet coffee shop.
Libra was great! All the staff was extremely friendly and nice.-CierraMy wife and I came to get tattoos while on our honeymoon, they made it very easy to schedule an appointment over email and finding an artist. I am happy with my tattoo, it came out better than the picture I sent them.-Chris
THE BEST SHOP🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟The worst tattoo artist 🌟THE BEST SHOP🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟: THE OWNER GAVE ME A FULL REFUND when I only asked for a partial refund. After I explained how the experience was and that something was tattooed incorrectly. The shop is clean, beautiful, and all the staff was insanely friendly and helpful minus the guy that tattooed me. I will definitely be going back for more tattoos in the future. Just going to schedule ahead of time with a well known friendly artist.The worst tattoo artist 🌟: Keep in mind I don’t think this experience with the travel in guy represents how wonderful this shop is. Once I explained the experience to the front desk staff the owner gave me a full refund and said they would make sure all the travel in artists were in formed of better shop etiquette. First time tattoo experience. I was given a travel in artist that was very qualified but barely spoke English. Needless to say the consult was rough and the guy was rude through the entire experience made me feel very belittled. In the consult he decided to take a word off the tattoo because the writing was too small I agreed. Then he put it on anyway and spelled it incorrectly. So needless to say I was unhappy but the shop fully refunded me for the tattoo and made sure to apologize for the experience.
Amazing!Great artists, super fun place to get some ink…
Mike did a great job! His attention to detail is phenomenal. Made me feel comfortable and understood what i wanted. Place was well staffed and clean everyone was super friendly. It was a great way to end my trip to Hawaii. Highly recommended this place.
A picture is worth 1000 happy, positive, what a great experience words!!! Andy was awesome throughout the whole process!I love my tattoo!!!
The staff at Tattoolicious are amazing! Our artist Diego freehanded our tattoos and did a fantastic job. Love that tattoo area is private from the front entrance, they have an excellent coffee shop, and the seating area is comfortable. The atmosphere is very relaxed and the artists seem to work so well together that it was fun just being around them.
UPDATED: fully healed tattoo added for reference.I’m from Colorado and was visiting my best friend. I reached out to this shop months before my trip to plan out our tattoos and schedule it. The receptionists that I worked with were very friendly and helped me with every step before my arrival so come tattoo day, we were prepped and ready to go! Then Enson did an amazing job with our tattoos. I wish this shop was in Colorado!!
Staff are friendly and accommodating. The place is super clean and has a great vibe to it. I got a fine line tattoo by Keith, loved the final result!
It was a bit pricey, but to be expected for where the shop is located. My tattoo turned out amazing! Fun conversations with the guys at the shop, too.
I had an excellent experience at Tattoolicious! I was able to easily make an appointment for the day and time that I wanted. Everyone is super friendly and helpful. My artist, Mia, is extremely professional and talented, and listened very well to what I said I wanted. The vibe in the shop is very welcoming and chill. I would highly recommend going there to get a tattoo. I absolutely love the tattoo that I had done there, and would definitely go back next time I am in Honolulu!
Went here while on vacay. The shop is immaculate and everyone is friendly and accommodating. I got tattooed twice on two different days by Mike. Couldn’t be more stoked on both tattoos, they turned out perfect. Definitely will be back here when we come back to the island. There’s also a coffee place connected to the shop, so bonus points. Overall, 10/10.
Amazing experience with this place. Tina, at the front desk, is friendly, upbeat, and easy to talk to. Mike is the tattoo artist who does American traditional. I got a Hawaiian scenery piece on my arm and he was fast and amazing with the quality and color. I definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for a new tattoo.
Highly recommend this tattoo shop!! Everyone at this shop from the front desk to all the artists are as friendly as can be. The shop is super clean and the whole vibe is very chill! If you are in Waikiki just visiting or you live here I would suggest coming here over any other shop. 10/10, I can’t wait to come back and get another tattoo here! Adriaan was my artist, he was absolutely amazing. But all of the artists have incredible work, check out their website to see some of their awesome designs!
I booked my appointment several months before going to Hawaii. The process was simple, and Pixie was very helpful (despite the 4 hour time difference). I met with Andy when I arrived on the island to talk about the design. He understood what I wanted and said I could come in to check on his drawing in a few days. I did, and he nailed the design!!!I went in on the last day of my vacation, and I was very nervous- but he totally put my mind at ease. And he was amazing- it didnt hurt anywhere near what I thought it would!The whole experience was positive and I ended up with a beautiful tattoo!Thank-you Tattoolicious!!!!
I made an appointment on a whim on vacation for a tiny wrist tattoo, we went to check out Tattoolicious when we arrived in Honolulu and I loved the clean, modern look and the staff was amazingly friendly! Thank you, Katie, for the cutest little tattoo and listening to all the exact details I wanted for it. You guys made us feel very welcome, even if I wasn’t hardcore getting a full sleeve tattoo ;) fast and painless! Thanks!! Would recommend you to anyone visiting.
Dr Will did absolutely amazing with color and fine lines. He was gracious and took great pride in his work. Very impressed and already made a couple referrals.
Ugh - so unprofessional and disrespectful. I have half a dozen tattoos so I know what Im doing at this point. I scheduled a consultation and the artist canceled last minute. Why? One of his other clients had canceled and he didnt want to wait a few hours at the shop until I had my appointment. Read: he canceled on me because he wanted to leave work early. I asked to reschedule and was told to come in on a different day during some all-day appointment of his. Having spent time in tattoo parlors I very much knew this would entail sitting around forever until the artist decided he could oh-so-graciously spare 15 minutes for my consultation. Im a busy professional and as such I have to make very deliberate plans, so this mucked up my day. I did not reschedule. I will, however, take my money elsewhere.
Hands down one of the nicest tattoo shops I’ve been to all around. The service was amazing as were the staff members. We came for walk-in service and immediately was helped. Libra tattooed me & I love his work!! Will definitely be coming back to get more tattoos when I’m back in Oahu!
Sean is a TATTOO GOD! I cant believe how beautiful my artwork is. Ive only had it for a few days & people are already stopping me & asking me about it & complimenting me on the clean, sharp lines & the amazing colors & shading!I would HIGHLY suggest him to anyone looking for a great tattoo! The shop overall was exceptional too. The staff is all professional & courtious & the space is large, open & inviting. It feels much more like an art studio than your typical tattoo shop. I also really loved how the work space was open & well-lit but you also didnt feel as though you were on display.Great experience!!!
Came here for my first tattoo, and couldnt have been more happy with the result! They were very comforting about the experience, and it turned out amazing! The prices were actually very reasonable, and they charge by hour, which was a great surprise! It was a great atmosphere, the shop was nice, the artists were great, just an overall awesome experience. Next Im on Oahu, Im going back to them!
Andy did my tattoo today and paid so much attention to detail. It turned out beautiful and was exactly what I was hoping for! Im so happy I found his work online. Thanks Andy! The whole experience from scheduling to check out was fantastic! Thanks Andy! I love my new tattoo!
My husband and I knew we wanted to get a tattoo in Hawaii to remember our trip. We did plenty of research on social media prior to landing at Tattoolicious. What sold us was their Instagram account which showed hundreds and hundreds of their art. We decided to stop by to get a consultant and set up an appointment because their website recommended it and the piece my husband wanted wasn’t going to be a quick one. This place was clean and staff was welcoming! They even have a coffee shop inside their shop! We came back a few days later and Diego and Mike were our artists. Diego worked on my small tattoo which was just me and my husband’s initials but Mike worked on my husbands first tattooand he did such an amazing job! We highly recommend coming here if you plan getting inked! They have the best reviews and you’ll understand why!
From the first second of interaction with this shop (phone, email, in person), everyone was friendly, helpful, and professional. Mike Russell was excited to do my tattoo, and I was treated with respect and kindness: none of the too cool for school attitude you might find. Clean, professional, welcoming shop and excellent quality!
Everyone was very friendly! It was my first time getting a tattoo and it was definitely a great first experience. Tina at the front desk was so kind to help us out. The tattoo artists Mike and Adriaan were also very professional and did such an amazing job on our tattoos! Will definitely be coming back next year when visiting Hawai’i for another tattoo.
Tyler is the man. If you are looking for a Polynesian style tattoo, ask for Tyler. His vibes are amazing, he’s a master of the craft, easygoing energy, artistic in every sense of the word. I’m halfway through my leg tattoo and was amazed by how much I love it already. Another session booked in two days to finish it off.Liz at the front desk is a fantastic hostess and makes you feel right at home, whether it’s your first tattoo or tenth.Shop is clean as a whistle, excellent playlists over the speakers, coffee shop right there in case you need a break for snacks.Five stars!
Unreliable place. A third party is taking care of appointments and requests deposit. When I called to the studio a few days later, they did not have my appointment. But because of the call they found it later. At the day of appointment they called and said they postpone my appointment for an hour. Then for another hour. I had other plans for this time and found it stressful to deal with this place so asked my deposit back. Still needed to go there and get it in cash. Disappointing experience and waste of time.
Just left without a tattoo. Someone else here said that this shop would not last on the mainland, and that’s exactly the best way to describe the vibes here. Most people I interacted with here were super unprofessional in terms of attitude and communication.When working on my husband, our artist took 15 minute smoke breaks every 45 min and came back smelling like pot every time. After my husband left for work, the artist started treating me in a way that he probably wouldn’t have if my husband was still there. I felt uncomfortable with placement; he was being unhelpful and didn’t want to make changes. Probably just wanted to get my tattoo done and over with so he could do his next client for whom he was already running an hour late (by no fault of my or my husband’s own). I apologized and told him it wasn’t fair to me or his other client to be rushing mine in and taking away time from the other client. Artist got super pissed and gave me attitude no matter how apologetic I tried to be. Told me he “has other clients waiting and we tried to make it so that we could squeeze you in” (not true OR necessary, I was already scheduled with a different artist who was also running late and they made last-minute switches with reception, which was originally “no big deal” even with the time overlap of his other client and, really, the other artist “just wanted to go home”).Obviously this shop has really good reviews, which is why we came here. Maybe my husband and I were spoiled by awesome tattoo shops when we lived in Chicago... but what we experienced today was something else entirely.
Absolutely wonderful from the moment we came it was pure relaxation. Our tattoo artists brought originality into our designs which made it our own. The staff provided a high standard of professionalism. They were polite, friendly and mindful of our individual style and tailored the artwork to suit each of us and our unique personalities.
Unbelievably cool shop and artists! Ive been getting tattooed since the early eighties so, I know a great shop when I am in one! So clean and professional makes one know they are in good hands ... the level of artistry coming out of their tattoo artists, is next level!I highly recommend this shop for either, first timers or seasoned tattoo collectors...
They were great at fitting us in with two days notice. Beautiful shop. Friendly people. Good to see female artists here as well! All different art styles. Our artist did beautiful, clean and simple text and it turned out stunning. Certainly recommend them! Also there’s a coffee shop attached and that doesn’t hurt. Accepts both cash, card, and they took PayPal for our deposit since we were on another island. 10/10!
I was on vacation last month in Hawaii and wanted to get a Polynesian tattoo as a memento. I was lucky enough to get an appointment with Josh Flinn. He did an amazing manta ray on my arm. I couldnt be happier about my tattoo and its an awesome reminder of an amazing vacation. I highly recommend Josh and Tattoolicious. The shop is spacious, modern, and most importantly clean. Josh and the other artists that I met while I was there are talented and friendly. If I ever get back to Honolulu, Ill be stopping in to get another tattoo at Tattoolicious.
Love our tattoos! Seamless process as we called for walk-in and were able to get consult and tattooed the same day! The price is higher then we’re used to nevertheless we got quality work!
Ivan helped me out. I had a hard time trying to explain what I wanted but he patiently asked questions until he drew a design that was perfect for me. I love the end result and so does everyone who sees it! Thank you Ivan!
Love the tattoo he went down to the last details of my dogs fur! Recommend Nacho but Im biased :) Great place, helpful staff!
Went for a permanent souvenir tattoo as a walk-in (cliche, I know...but so worth it). Their tattoos were hands down the best in the area of the quick research I did prior. Very impressed! If I ever make it back to this beautiful state, I will definitely come back here for a tattoo. Check them out, especially Mike who has stellar line work!
Usually dont post reviews but Im so happy with the way my tattoo came out from Dan. I stopped in a week prior to discuss what I wanted. vaguely described it to him and scheduled my appointment. came in and the drawing was better than I pictured in my head. once we got started he was very efficient and I was out in 2 hours expecting closer to 3 hours. I have been flooded with compliments on my tattoo already after the first day. Ill definitely be back for another in the near future!
Got my first tattoo with James! He was so welcoming and calmed. It really helped me feel comfortable. He kept checking in with me through the process. I would definitely recommend James with no reservations if you are looking to get a small tattoo done.
I’m visiting Hawaii from South Florida. I came here to get a small Plumaria flower tattoo. I got very lucky an artist named RJ had a cancellation and was able to take me. Not only was he Adorable, he did a beautiful job! I am so Happy! The place was super nice and clean, the girls at the front desk were an absolute pleasure. Thank you so much. I’ll definitely will be back!
One of the best tattoo shops I’ve ever been to. Super nice people from start to finish. Michael Russell is an amazing artist and super cool guy, already want another piece from him Phenomenal experience! Will be back for more ink!🤙
I had Katie Mack and she did an amazing job! Her artwork is beautiful! Came here with my family and the whole experience was better than I could’ve asked for, definitely come here for a tattoo if you’re in the Honolulu area!
We looked for ages to find a great tattoo shop for our visit to Hawaii from Scotland and we found the best in Tattoolicious. Super professional and so helpful. My wife and I both got tattoos as a permanent reminders of our awesome holiday. Everything from booking to getting them done was made easy by all the guys at the shop. The art work is amazing, the time and effort put in by the artists is beyond compare, they spent a lot of time with us to get our ideas and designs perfect. Great aftercare advice too, after only a few days both our tattoos are smooth and looking amazing. I would highly recommend a visit and getting work done. Great service, had a great laugh too.Cant thank everyone enough for our time at the shop, hope we can get back for a visit in the future.Mahalo and Aloha.
This was my first ever tattoo experience and it couldn’t have went any better. Mike got exactly what I was after straight away and the end result was perfect. It was very quick and the whole business is very professional. Highly recommend Tattoolicious and Mike!!
Referred from a friend to check this place out. Originally skeptical since it’s in Waikiki as I’ve only had work done by one other person. But do it, go in, see the shop, you won’t regret it.I had a custom piece made and done by Josh Flinn. I had a consult with him after looking at their portfolios online.I sent him in pictures and he fine tuned the little details of what I wanted. The final piece was gorgeous.If there’s anyone you go and see, see him. He was really patient with me as I changed the placement of my piece quite a few times (it’s forever, lol) and he was amazing. Great conversation and very attentive. By the time I was finished, I couldn’t have asked for art more perfect.The shop is beautiful, Josh was awesome. I’m trying to book with him again for future pieces, if that tells you anything! Really grateful to have found this place and this artist.UPDATE ****I also had some work done with Andy and he was absolutely amazing as well. So literally any artist you go to at Tattoolicious is awesome and you won’t be disappointed. Please go! I’ve had two pieces done by Josh and one by Andy. Both outstanding artists.
Great design! I love it! I was recommended by a friend to go here and I totally understand why. Really friendly front staff who will help you out with anything! Just make sure you try and make an appointment because they are that good they get busy! I had Ryan as my tattooist and he was really good - very patient! Thanks guys I will be back :)
Had a great experience at Tattolicious! Andy did a wonderful job on both my tattoo as well as my wife’s!Thanks for making our last night in Hawaii memorable and keeping our tradition going! See you next time!
I made a last minute appointment for a tattoo while visiting Hawaii for my birthday. Not only was the crew very nice and inviting but they fit me right in and worked with my times. I got my piece done by Josh and it is killer! The color is wonderful and he made sure to make it a unique design. Overall the shop was clean, great people, and amazing tattoos!
Liz Chase and the entire shop are the best tattoo artists Ive seen and Ive been all over the country. They are fair priced, availability that fits most schedules and awesome work! It was like a spa day getting a half sleeve there. We have gotten 3 big tattoos and plan on more.
Very clean place and many talented artists to choose from. They are quick with responding to emails to set up the consultation and tattoo appointment. Had my first tattoo done by Andy and he did an amazig job! Highly recommend.
I got an awesome tribal sea turtle with flowers and waves done by Sean and I loved it! I told him what I wanted and he drew out exactly what I described. It was my first tattoo and the staff was very great about explaining things to me. Loved my overall experience, not to mention at a reasonable price!
The experience is great! My mom had her first tattoo with Andy and he did an amazing job! His realistic style for flowers is the reason why I chose him and he definitely delivered!
The reception was very friendly, but caught my attention most was how clean the audio was. I had my first tatoo done by James, he was super friendly and professional. He did an amazing job during the whole process which helped to ease my anxieties about getting tattoos.
Shop is clean, beautiful, and has a convenient location. Everyone was very professional and pleasant to work with. Mike Russell did my tattoo and I love it. Ive visited many shops and tattoolicious is one of the best! Would definitely recommend!
Here on vacation and decided to head to the shop and talk about a design to see if someone could fit me in before I left. Mike Russell stepped up and said he would love to make the design. He did a fantastic job, and did it quickly. Everyone in the shop was very friendly and easy to talk to as well.
This is a great tattoo shop. The front desk is very helpful, they have a little cafe as well as a spacious waiting area. I got my tattoo from Zee and Im in love with it! Shes great at drawing animals so I highly recommend her!
By far the best tattoo shop I been to (and I used to live in NY mind you). Everyone who works there is amazing and personable. My husband gets all his work done by Andy, my dad got his tattoo done by Rob, and I have an appt to start my work in Dec by Sean. All amazing and talented artists and I love that the owner is always looking for ways to remodel and make the place even more great! See you guys in Dec!!!!
Received my first tattoo here with artist Mike. I was super nervous but he made my experience relaxing, and quite honestly painless. Mike was extremely patient with me as well ;could not have had a better experience.
Before venturing on my very first O/S trip I did a google search on tattoo places in Waikiki & Tattoolicious was the one that stood out as the most impressive. They did not disappoint. Premises were immaculate & my artist Mike Russell gave me a keepsake that I will cherish forever. Would recommend Mike to anyone looking to get a tattoo done whilst vacationing in Hawaii..
Down to earth from the counter . To Sean with a big hello for my appointment with Keith . Solid work & fast . Excellent hand. Professional. Great idea . Love my ink
I wanted my first tattoo to be done in Oahu so I did a lot of research and decided on Tattoolicious as I had read so many good things about them on the Internet. I was not disappointed.I emailed Pixie (who is just fantastic!) with some dates of when we would be in Oahu and some photos so by the time I got there my artist, Amy, knew exactly what I wanted. Amy is a true tattoo master who created the most beautiful back piece of orchids for me that I got stopped several times the next day by people complementing my tattoo and inquiring where I had it done. The entire staff at Tattoolicious were fun, professional, and incredibly talented and I am so pleased that I chose them. My special thanks to Amy-you made my first experience so great and I have a beautiful piece of art that will last a lifetime!
We have come to Tattoolicious for tattoos on our final day on Oahu two years in a row. Very happy with the results! Thanks Keith and Ivan!
I had Katie as a artist and she was incredible! I came in with a vague idea of what I wanted and she made a couple suggestions (as I believe a true artist should) that elevated my tattoo idea. I’m so grateful to have gotten such a talented artist. From what I’ve seen in the studio all the artist’s are talented. Very clean studio as well!
Literally the best experience ever.. I am prone to fainting so normally my tattoo experiences are not that great. Bernardo was my tattoo artist and he was so understanding, kind, and patient with me and that meant alot. I am absolutely in love with my tattoo. The lines and the color are perfect. I will definitely be coming back!
Love the vibe of this place! Love everyone who works there, they were very accommodating and upbeat! Katie is an amazing artist! Definately go see her. Have an open mind and let the artist do there work and will be extremely happy with your piece! ❤❤❤
This is a long overdue review, but couldnt be happier with the outcome of my experience with Leo and the whole Tattoolicious team. After doing countless hours of research on artists, I finally found someone who I thought would be a great match. Unfortunately, with my travel plans, there were no openings, so the team suggested I meet with Leo. After a few drafts we came up with the finished product and Leo nailed it. So happy with my personal version of King Kamehameha IIIs royal crest of arms. Thanks Leo!
Awesome environment to get a tattoo. Katie was very detailed in my tattoo and her work speaks for itself. Very clean tattoo shop and we had a great experience getting our tattoos here. High recommend.
Just got a great tattoo by a good guy. Josh Flinn gave me a great tattoo and I will be back in 3-4 months to get another one by him. I gave him 3 ideas of tattoos that I was looking for and he really came through on the one we selected. He did an awesome job and he was a fun guy to talk to for the 4 hour session. Everyone else at the shop was nice and helpful too.Ill keep going here as long as I need more work to be done!
My wife and I each got a tattoo by Leo. The quality was great and it was a very clean environment. Liz was also very informative and and helpful. If we make it back to Honolulu we will definitely get back there for another tattoo!
I came in to do a cover-up tattoo. I saw Katie Mack and she was sweet, genuine and super professional! She took her time, answered all my questions and I walked away with a very beautiful tattoo of a gladiolus flower on my arm. I would highly recommend her!
Sam was awesome. The shop has an extremely professional design and layout. The staff were consummate professionals with a passion for the their craft. The work conducted by Sam was phenomenal. This is a AAA rated tattoo shop. A must see, if you are looking for excellent work.
I want to start off with the positive... everyone was super nice, the shop was clean, really modern and fun.... but they were the slowest I’ve ever seen. I had an appointment at 12:30 and he finally started at 1:50. He wasn’t even there at 12:30 when my appointment was supposed to start. I had 3 other people with me and every single one was over an hour late. It was absolutely ridiculous. They did a great job but ridiculous to drive an hour expecting to get in when you’ve made your appointment only to sit about hour. Then they want to bribe you to leave 5 stars. Absolutely not. I own a business and I couldn’t imagine showing up an hour late to then make my customer wait more.
This place is fantastic. Read their website, understand that they desire to be an appointment heavy store, contact them in advanced. I was a walk-in, a week before I wanted to be tattooed, and after having a fantastic conversation with the manager, whom did provide artist suggestions (an excellent point of customer service) had an appointment scheduled on the day I wanted with the artist I wanted.The drawing that the artist made was pretty damn fantastic for what I had attempted to describe. During the actual tattooing he was very patient even though I had a few times where I needed to take a break from the pain. Pricing was as well superb, shockingly so.While I was being tattooed, my lady was in pact of no-good with the VERY talented local piercer and ended up with a fantastic and beautiful ear piercing.This is one of those places that you really shouldnt have to read many reviews, we all speak the truth, you wont be disappointed at Tattoolicious.
Andy is a great artist and a really nice person. The service here is really fast and pleasant. They schedule really fast and the shop is really clean. This place is everything you could ask for in a tattoo shop. Ill definitely be back here for more tattoos in the future!
Me and my friend got tattoos here (my first tattoo). It was a very spontaneous decision. We literally just walked in. Everyone here was super friendly and helped us right away. Big thanks to everyone, especially Leo!!! Would definitely recommend :)
I got my first tattoo by Katie and it was a great first experience! I was so nervous but Katie was great at making me feel like everything was going to be okay. I love me design and how it turned out and I’m so happy!!! Highly recommend!!!
Had my first tattoo here today. Very satisfied with the place in general- it is clean and very nice! Katie did a good job :-) I would recommend it to anyone who is planning to get a tattoo while in Honolulu!
I love my tattoo. My favorite one. I was also very lucky to find a 25% off coupon for the tattoo shop and got a great deal. This was a while back. My tattoo artist was Amy Wagner.
I was surprised at how bright and clean the place was, I walked in with no booking and they were happy to help. The artist Josh, was spot on with coming up with a design for me, and gave me some tourism advice while he was at it, definitely a combo of speed and skill at its best. I would post pictures but cant figure out how to on my phone.
10/15/13 - Another visit to Oahu and another visit to Tattoolicious! I called early this time and setup an appointment with Robert to get another tat on my last day there so I could enjoy the water while I was over there. As usual, the staff was incredible, friendly, and fun and Robert did a great job on the tat. Andy was there and remembered the tat he did for me last year, how cool is that? Great Aloha from everyone and cant wait til my next trip!! Mahalo - Tony7/17/12 - Walked in on the last day of vacation and wanted a tattoo. They were booked up, but I think they saw the sadness in my eyes and made room for me in the schedule. Andy did my tat, my first one by the way, and was very professional and fun to talk to. Cant remember the lady at the desks name but she was very sweet and easy on the eyes! ;-) I will make it a point to mark each and every trip to Oahu to Tattoolicious and to always schedule appts early from now on! Thanks for the great first time guys!
Katie is the absolute sweetest! She was very accommodating and patient with me while working on a piece we both would love. And it turned out perfect! Everyone here is super talented. 10/10 would recommend 🤙🏼
I wanted my nose pierced for a very long time and what a perfect time to do so, while we vacationed in Oahu. Malice was really helpful and did a great job! Then I decided to get a tattoo so I set up an appointment with Ryan. What a nice kid and he did beautiful work! Tattoolicious was clean and everyone there was great!!
