Went to Sweet Trade Tattoo for a tattoo to honor my kids. Siobhan was great to work with. Her design was exactly what I had imagined / described. The finished product came out even better than I hoped for. I’m thrilled with the service I received and will definetly return for my next tattoo next time I’m on Maui!
Our first time here was 6 years ago with Adam, and we could not have been happier with our experience.....so we thought....Well, we just returned to Maui and returned to Sweet Trade for the second time to have more work done and met Adams sidekick, Athena, and we have to say, the experience was even better! Thank you guys very much for being so professional, personal and for laying down some awesome ink! We will be back again. Mahalo!
I was able to easily schedule an appointment for three people with them from Texas. I went in the second day of us being on the island to tell them what we wanted and it went very smoothly. On the day of the tattoos everything went well and Athena did a wonderful job! I would absolutely use them again!
Had an amazing chat and wonderful tattoo on experience at the shop. I had a crisis happen personally with my car being stolen and thought I would miss the scheduled appointment that he had so nicely arranged to get me in before I had to move. Felt like world was imploding. But he bared with me being late and got a seamless addition to my sleeve. Can’t say enough about the customer service and in the end it is fire. Perfect lines and story! You’re in the hands a true professional and artist but overall just a great human! Aloha!
My family and I decided to get matching tattoo’s on our last day in Hawaii. We found this tattoo shop and we are very grateful we did. Not only did they accept our walk in, they were both very courteous and polite. They were able to provide us with excellent tattoos. The work they did was neat, professional, and quick. 10/10 will be going back next time I am in Hawaii.
I made an appointment with Sweet Trade Tattoos in advance of our vacation on Lahaina. The appointment worked really well. I immediately felt at ease. The studio is clean and has a very pleasant atmosphere. Adam created a beautiful memory on my foot! Im totally happy with it.
My stepdaughter and I wanted to get tattoos while we were in Maui. We stopped in at Sweet Trade Tattoo and talked to Adam. He was incredibly accommodating to ensure we could get tattoos before we left. He worked with us and our ideas so we could get exactly what we wanted. We were in and out in under 2 hours with amazing tattoos that we loved. They are very personable and do great work. I can’t wait to go back to Maui and get another tattoo with them!
I would highly recommend sweet trade for tattoos when you’re on the island! Siobhan and Adam have professional yet laid back atmosphere and made me feel so relaxed. They are so knowledgeable as well. Siobhan did an amazing job with my tattoo, the color work and attention to detail was amazing. I went in for a consultation on my first day I was there and got my tattoo on the last day: per their instructions. It’s healing beautifully so far.
I had such a great experience at this shop!! I booked several months in advance, and emailed regarding a consultation and appointment. They were very quick to answer! When I went into the shop, I was welcomed by smiling faces and a great environment. I told them what I wanted and they brought it to life. I was tattooed by Jared, and he did a stellar job!! Such a fun environment to be in while you are there and next time I have a tattoo in mind, no doubt I’ll be going back again!!
Wonderful vibes! First tattoo and extremely pleased with the owner artist and staff. Came in on a promise owed. Talked to the daughter artist a couple days prior to ask questions and seek info. She was more than helpful and informative. Made the appointment on the day we were leaving Maui. Didnt take long and very pleased with the results. They know what theyre doing!! Coming back in August for round two and for the wife to fulfill her promise!!!
I would like to Thank Adam and Siobhan for responding to my email so promptly. My husband and I went to Maui for a vacation and to celebrate my birthday. I have always wanted a tattoo. I told myself for the longest time that one day I will definitely get one. I emailed sweet trade tattoo and received a response from Siobhan to stop by the shop so they can get more information on what I would like. Upon entering the shop Adam greeted me right away which made me feel at home. The energy once you enter the shop is so happy and positive, I felt comfortable and at ease. Adam did my first tattoo and I absolutely love it! Its perfect. Siobhan cleaned and put a clear dressing after. Thank you Adam for my first tattoo. I will definitely be back next year to get another one.
10/10 experience! Myself and 3 other family members were able to get work done at the end of our trip before heading home. The entire process from booking, to consulting about our pieces, and the work itself was a seamless process. I personally had the pleasure of having Adam do my tattoos, and I couldn’t be happier with the result. I appreciated his honesty and expertise when it came to placement and sizing of the tattoo’s being done. I look forward to coming back here for future tattoos when we are back on Maui in the future!Many mahalos Adam!
My husband and I are on vacation in Hawaii, and decided to get a tattoo each to commemorate our honeymoon. Adam was extremely helpful and accommodating; explained the meanings and stories behind Polynesian tattoos and fit us in at very short notice. He actually created a bespoke design for each of us after asking us individual questions about our life, our dreams, our personalities, etc.. On the day, he remained super helpful, friendly and efficient. He completed our tattoos within a fraction of the time we expected but delivered stellar results. Very minimal pain, and clear aftercare instructions to follow. If we lived here, Adam would be our new local. We cannot recommend his work enough! Thank you once again and aloha ❤️
This tattoo was a pleasure to get. It was just about a half sleeve in Polynesian style. Trendy Polynesian tattoos with no real meaning are for some people but not me. Mine is completely real and in total respect for the Polynesian community. Every symbol has meaning and is placed appropriately with my Island friends and family approval. Adam has a pretty good technique and his imagination is quite creative. This piece was pretty awesome to me even though we didn’t have much time to go over the final design. I felt confident that he understood what I wanted. A few small opportunities on this piece but overall I’m very pleased. I plan on going back to get my lower left leg (Knee to ankle) done as well.
Siobhan took this from casual conversation to more focused ideation of a philosophical bent to reality with friendliness, efficiency and aloha spirit. I’m so pleased. I’ll be back again for my next Hawaii-themed ink. It’s a family punk vibe in this place which as oxymoronic as it sounds, it’s a father-daughter team running this place and the energy is just perfect. Five stars. Thanks Sweet Trade Tattoo and Siobhan!
This was a family experience. We came to spread my sisters ashes and 3 of us decided to memorialize the event with tattoos . Adam and David were very attentive to what we each wanted. My tattoo was the simplest but still exactly what I wanted. The atmosphere of the studio is more along the lines of an artist studio versus a traditional tattoo studio. Each of the artists are very talented and very supportive of each other. Just a great atmosphere and experience. Thank you all for making this a very special part of very our family event.
This was a great experience. The guys were very professional, helpful and friendly. Myself and my sons girlfriend were tattooed by David and my son by Adam.Excellent artists!I absolutely LOVE my tatto. My family loves theirs too!!!Hope to visit again!!!Mahalo
Beautiful and unique work, and super nice people. We went in a few days early and gave info about what we wanted and they did the design perfectly - exactly what we wanted. Mine had symbols that are personal to me and my daughter and son-in-law had Hawaiian Lego people (really cool looking).
Adam is super cool. Did a great job on our tattoos. Wonderful experience.
These guys are awesome! My wife and I decided on our last day on Maui to get tattoos and both of us couldnt be happier with our decision to go with Sweet Trade Tattoo. For me it was my first time getting anything done and I had a vision of what I wanted everything to look like and Adam nailed it! Super cool experience with great conversation, music, and all around good people at Sweet Trade. Next time Im on Maui I know who Im going to if I want to get any work done. Plus the pricing you cant beat. High quality work and great environment for a great price you really cant beat it!
We had a great experience at Sweet Trade Tattoo!! This is a very clean and friendly establishment. Adam is wonderful to talk with and is very friendly and easygoing. David did my husbands tattoo (Joltik- with a Pineapple). It turned out better than we could have ever expected and he was fabulous throughout the entire process. He was really passionate about providing the best piece of artwork for him.My tattoo was done by Siobhan, she did a great job on my tattoo (Postage Stamp). The shop has a laid back atmosphere, but assures cleanliness standards throughout the process. The were all friendly and fabulous and were able to get us in before we left town (After our consultations of course).
We highly recommend this shop! We took a sister trip to Maui and the three of us decided to get a tattoo and Adam and Siobhan were super friendly and extremely talented and we would definitely return for part two ;) they were patient, caring, answered our questions and on time and the shop is very clean and ran efficiently. Most importantly, our Honu tattoos are perfect and mean a lot to us. Thank you so much for making this experience extra special!
We came together to Maui in 2013 with our boys. In 2024 we came again but the boys have grown and it’s just us. You and Me by Dave Matthew’s Band is our song about teaching the kids to fly and then enjoying us.We wanted to get “our” tattoos for some time and Sweet Trade did not disappoint!Siobhan did a great job with her art for both my wife’s tattoo with plumeria flowers and mine with Polynesian art showing family.Highly recommend Adam and Siobhan!Thank you both for a great ending to our trip to the islands as well as the suggestion to MisoPhat sushi!

Adam was awesome! 3 of us wanted tattoos to remember our trip to Maui. It was the day we flew out and he managed to squeeze us in. He’s very talented as an artist and just a good guy. This was all of ours first tattoo and he made the experience wonderful. His shop is clean and Adam is professional, kind and fun!
I visited Maui last year and was interested in a tattoo but ran out of time. When I went back I scheduled an appointment when I arrived. The tattoo turned out great. Siobhan did a great job and had no hesitation when I asked her to add color to it. Would highly recommend the shop. Of I go back to Maui and need another tattoo will not hesitate to reach out to Adam or Siobhan.
Adam and his family/staff were amazing! I felt like I was with my own family. They made my SIL and daughter feel right at home. Since it was my daughter’s first tattoo they made the experience so memorable and very comfortable. I would definitely recommend Sweet Trade Tattoo to anyone. So nice and accommodating. They are the best! Thanks Adam and family/Staff!
From the moment we walked in the door we knew that this was the place we wanted to have our tattoos done. Adam was amazing!!! He explained in great detail the process of having the tattoo inked. He was patient and kind. Our tattoos look great!! I would highly recommend Adam and his shop for tattoos.
I loved my tattoo experience at Sweet Trade. This is the tattoo after about 3 days of healing and its doing fabulous! I got this one done with Adam and my mother got a matching one. We will definitely be coming back to this shop in the future!
Adam and Siobhan are amazing. Adam is the one that tattooed me. I showed up the day before and we talked shop for a bit have him artistic freedom. Trust me Im not very trustful but Adam made me very comfortable with his knowledge and suggestions. He was very excited and i could tell this would be a great experience. The next day i showed up right on time he was set and ready to go. We went about 2 hours maybe a little less but he got it done quite swift but the tattoo came out amazing. Ill let you guys be the judge.Will definitely be going back to Hawaii mainly to get tatted by this talented artist. Dont worry Si i will get something done by you one day as well. Much love to both. Cant wait to be in your shop again!
The staff were easy going and very friendly! My artist was quick and light handed, really made the experience enjoyable. The line work on the tattoo was a little wobbly but nothing that a quick touch up wouldnt correct.
The owners were nice when helping setting an appointment and very candid which is refreshing. His daughter was the tattoo artist and she did an awesome job on the art and the tattoos and was fast but efficient!! Very happy with our tattoos!
From the moment, my wife and I walked in to Sweet Trade Tattoo-Maui. Adam his wife and their daughter welcome to us with friendly faces. Adam answered our questions. He was patient as we tried to figure out what my wife would like. I already knew what I was looking for.A Honu. A Sea Turtle with a fishhook. But I didn’t want a design that had been done before. Adam came up with two great original designs. Both amazing designs, but I had to choose one.Adam came up with a really great design for my wife also. But when it came down to it, she wasn’t ready. On our next trip to be continued for her.As for me, Adam made the experience very comfortable. He is great to talk to and share a couple good laughs. A generally great guy.My Recommendations if you are looking for a great tattoo, whether It be your design or theirsthey are more than happy to help you get what you want. Adam his wife and daughter are all amazing artist. Mahalo Adam for such an amazing tattoo.Aloha!
Just happened to walk by this tattoo shop while in Lahaina. Adam was super welcoming and a lot of fun to hang with. The shop was clean and I easily made an appointment for the following day. Tattoo turned out great and I will return next time I am on the beautiful island of Maui 🌺🏝️🌊🐢🤙🏼 MAHALO
Wanted a tattoo for a long time. Used to live on Maui for many years and asked friends/locals who they recommended and they all said Adam :) And they were right! He did an awesome tattoo, no dreaded itching, no discomfort, healed perfectly in less than 2 weeks! Love it! He told me I would get another one now that I had one, and he’s right :)) I will, but only by him!Spent the whole time when I got my tattoo talking about his amazing artwork that he painted and has some pieces hanging in his parlor-he’s an absolutely incredible accomplished artist! Check it out when you go!Thank you Adam! See you soon! Mahalo!
My Wife and I both got tattooed. Adam did a fantastic job on both tattoos. His ideas and suggestions all turned out amazing. The shop is very friendly, clean and comfortable.It was an overall great experience. Thank you Adam
My girlfriend and i went in to sweet trade while we were in maui to get matching tattoos. I told the owner of the shop that i wanted the tattoo lower on my leg just above my knee. He told me that based on his 29 years of experience i was wrong and where he placed it was right. I trusted him. But i wish my tattoo was lower. He was a little overbearing considering it should be my decision on where my tattoo gets placed. Other than that the tattoo looks great and the work is really clean.
By far the best tattoo experience Ive ever had. Adam is friendly, knowledgeable, and does outstanding work. Ill definitely be coming back to get more ink done here! Absolutely love how well he covered up an old tattoo I had and hated.
My boyfriend and I came in looking for tattoos to get before we left Maui. We came in a few day before and they were able to squeeze us in the day we left. The whole process was awesome. From the consultation to getting the actual tattoo. Adam did our tattoos and I’m so glad we picked this place because he was amazing. Very genuine guy. Amazing art works from both him and his daughter. My boyfriend got a Polynesian turtle and Adam really dove in to get to know him so he could get the right writing on him that suited him as a person. Very unique process. We both left with huge smiles on our face which is the best way to leave a place. Now we have beautiful tattoos to remember our time in Maui and Sweet Trade Tattoo. I would highly recommend to check this place out. Great tattoos and great people.
Adam and Siobhan were top professionals. I emailed them a few weeks before my Maui trip knowing what I wanted and they were able to tweak my idea to make it more unique. Prepped and ready to go upon arrival. 100% cant wait to go back for more! Make sure you eat before your session and tip them! Theyre worth it!
The adult males in my family wanted to go back to this tattoo shop to get some new tattoos when we were in Maui. 2 years ago they visited and had Halloween pineapples tattooed on their arms, based on a picture of a carved pineapple we designed on Halloween.This time they decided to go tribal design and our older son received a fish hook, our youngest son did a hammerhead shark tribal design and my husband received a tribal design shark, and had his soulmate design updated a bit because it had faded.Adam did an excellent job in taking care of most of these tattoos, and Siobhan also did the hammerhead shark design on our youngest son.Gina, our older sons GF, decided on a small hibiscus flower 🌺 that she had placed on her right back hip area. All designs came out well, and they were all happy with the final design outcome. Will definitely come back in the future when we visit Maui.
My sons and I wanted to mark our Maui vacation with something special. Adam was awesome! He took our ideas and and drew them up just the way we wanted them. We could not have been happier! And on top of it all he is a great guy! Thanks for the great memory Adam!Jeff, Darian, ChrisFrom Colorado
We had a good experience with Sweet Trade Tattoo. My Aunt and I were there on vacation and wanted to get a tattoo together for a memory. They worked with us and were able to schedule us on our last day there so we could enjoy our time there without worrying about messing up the tattoo. The only issue we have is my Aunt asked for water color and the artist said ok but the coloring that was done is not water color. It just seems to be random blops of color around the turtles. We both already have water color tattoos so we know how they should look. This tattoo was on the back of our calf so we werent able to see it as it was being done and we had to wait until it was fully healed to see the final outcome. Overall we are happy though, she just has to decide if she is going to get her color touched up at home. I was happy with Adams job on my turtles. I dont remember her name but it was Adams daughter who did my Aunts tattoo. Thank you!
Sweet Trade Tattoo is an amazing shop with oustanding artists. Adam got me in for a last minute tattoo during my trip in Maui and I am so happy he happened to have an opening. We had a short discussion about what I was looking for and he said I got you man and he did. His design was amazing and hope I can get back there for more work in the future.
I just got a tattoo yesterday. And the owner and his daughter ( the one that made me my tattoo ) were really nice and the tattoo was great. The studio seems really professional and clean.. They were able to accommodate me last minute and I really appreciate that. I was trying to have a lasting memory from Maui. And I’m happy I got it.Thanks again and I highly recommend this tattoo shops
On vacation in Maui, myself and a few other friends each wanted a small tattoo of our own to commemorate our time on the island. We found this shop near our resort online and were drawn to the artists styles and line work. We did a walk-in to inquire and were very pleased with the service we received from Adam, the owner. He was direct about his style and what he could do for us, but also friendly and accommodating. He agreed to fit us all in right before the end of our trip (which was only a fews days away) and collected our information and ideas so that he could be prepared. On the day of, we showed up at our scheduled time and Adam was ready to start. He got through all 4 of our tattoos within an hour, and we were all in love with our finished results. While waiting for each of us to get tattooed, we had also chatted with his wife Athena at the front desk who was lovely. We would absolutely recommend Sweet Trade Tattoo to anyone looking for a positive and efficient experience. Thanks again Adam!
We found Sweet Trade via Google and we are so happy we did! We went there as a family and the whole staff were so kind and thoughtful to deal with. Adam went above and beyond to make sure our mother/daughter tattoos were special. They turned out spectacularly! Siobhan did a turtle tatt for my husband that he is over the moon for! David is very sweet and also does outstanding work. Thank you Sweet Trade! You do Maui proud!Professionalism A+Artistry A+Cleanliness A+P.S. uterus/taurus tatt on calf was done in OKC at Atomic Lotus
Absolutely fabulous experience. I came in with a somewhat clear idea but Siobhan really helped me as she designed and created a beautiful piece of art. The actual tattooing was flawless, fast, and pretty painless. I couldnt recommend Siobhan and the whole team more!
Adam was extremely accommodating in getting us booked in last minute. S did a top notch job on my tattoo and was surprisingly fast. I would definitely recommend her or Adam to anyone!!
My experience with Sweet Trade was exceptional. Siobhan did excellent work and quickly. Those two dont usually go together, but this was an exception. The quality of the work was amazing, and the family here were as well. Thank yall for helping us and being part of forming fond memories on this trip.
Was visiting the Island for our annual trip to Maui. Have been wanting to get new ink for a few years but timing never worked out.This year made the time booked the appointment. Asked for a family hook, showed up for my appointment and was given 3 options to look over. Licked the most custom out of the 3 that was different from all the others.Could not be happier with my choice. Even on the Island locals where that is a great choice.The healing is now 5 days and is clean with little flaking or anything.
Amazing return visit to Sweet Trade. Siobhan did an add on tattoo to something we started 2 years ago! She was able to tie my previous flowers with additional flower and leaves. I’m so happy! I can’t wait to go back next year!
Came to maui as a gift from my husband for my 50th .. we talked about getting tattoos while we were here but unsure about where to go and the quality of work wed be getting .. we walked into the shop and Adam the owner was very good about informing us about his standards quality n ethics.. we were truly pleased n satisfied that wed found a great shop .. 2 days later we returned to book an appt .. we both got tattooed and were both very happy with our little momentos of Maui .. for anyone looking for a good decent shop .. this is the one to goto ! Mahalo Adam and Siobhan 💜❤️
Love love love my tattoo! David did such a great job and was so kind. I was originally gonna see David at Blue Hawaii tattoo in Lahaina which David owned for 10 years! His shop was sadly affected in the Lahaina fire. So when you read the reviews about David just transfer that over to here. I also just loved that he still had his faith and kindness after all he has been through. Go see David! Such an amazing artist.
Girl trip to Maui called for a tattoo (duh) so we chose Sweet Trade to get our ink. I have quite a few tats from the same artist back home so I was skeptical about using a different artist. Adam was my a guy and I was very satisfied with him and his work. Clean lines, light hand and fast. I now have a little piece of Hawai’i with me forever. I’d definitely add more ink next time I visit Maui and Sweet Trade will definitely get my business. Clean shop and a great atmosphere. Go get inked if you’re in Maui and do it at Sweet Trade
Came to Maui for family Trip; wanted an local mom & pop shop. Looked at several close to where we were staying, came upon this one after reviews and knew it was the spot. Great staff! Super fun personalities and easy to deal with. Great artists. Had Siobhan Hammon do the work; she was awesome, this was my very tattoo and she made the experience amazing!! Highly recommend this shop!! They do all Custom and really listen to their clients ideas; w/ great input
Excellent experience! I was able to come in and talk to Adam and Dave prior to booking an appointment and talk about ideas. Very friendly and professional atmosphere. Would definitely come back if in Maui again.
Awesome experience! They were happy to be able to squeeze me in before I left to come home. They were so kind and did a really great job.
Adam was amazing! His work is impeccable and he is a true artist. Will definitely be back for another one! Highly recommend Sweet Trade Tatoo.
Everything about this place was incredible! I booked an appt in December, for March. Once we arrived on the island, we stopped in to get a consultation. The owner and his daughter are just the nicest people, the energy in the shop was great! At the end of our trip, we went for the tattoo; the owner had drawn out perfectly what we envisioned. The two of them got to work and were done in about 30 min! Wayyy quicker than I had expected. We laughed and held conversation the whole time. The tattoos look amazing, their attitudes were amazing, the shop was so clean, and Covid protocols followed. Thank you for the great experience!
Adam and Siobhan took great care of me and my friends start to finish. I emailed him a week before i got to maui to set up an appointment time and then met with him when i got to the island to go over what i was looking for. My buddy’s also wanted tattoos but aren’t as responsible as me and didn’t set up appointments but he was super cool and managed to get all three of us tattoos on the same day!!!!! Then the day of the tattoos we threw him a screwball and added a fourth member if our crew to get a tattoo and they made it happen. Super nice family tattoo shop you can really tell they enjoy the art of tattooing and its not just a money grab. I plan on coming back with my wife next year and i will definitely be letting Adam and Siobhan add more tattoos!!!! I will add mor pictures and another review as it heals. He knocked this one out of the park and i love it!!!
Adam is an extremely talented artist. He was patient with my ideas and brought them to life in a way that exceeded my expectations. The folks here are more that just tattooists; they treat you like friends and respect you for you. The shop puts safety first which made me comfortable and trust them more. Put simply, awesome pieces for the perfect price. I had a blast! Next time Im in the area, Im coming back!
Adam did a wonderful job on my mom and my tattoos. They were very friendly and awesome people to talk to. Thanks again for our tattoos.
Our family of 6 all wanted to get tattoos while on Maui and we happened to connect with David and the crew at Sweet Trade. They graciously and expertly handled all of us with our unique ideas and designs and we were pleased with the results. Siobahn did mine and it turned out great.
My partner and I went to Maui, and we looked everywhere for a tattoo parlor that speaks to us, and Sweet Trade did not disappoint at all! I got to consult with Adam for my tattoo, and the process was very smooth. Adam was able to come up with a design that encompasses all that the original photo expresses touched with his own creativity, and the best part was that everything was clearly communicated. The shop is very well lit and super clean too, so I felt super safe getting a tattoo there. My Airbnb was in Kihei and let me tell you: it is so worth the drive! I will definitely come back for another creation from the shop next time I am in Maui.10/10 for professionalism, artistry and cleanliness!
Love my Papa Turtle and the Grandturtle Tattoo from David! My wife loves her turtle Tattoo and all of the great detail David put into it! The place to get your Tattoo(s) while in Maui!!
My partner and I went in a few days before to schedule, pay the deposit, and talk ideas. My partner wanted a tribal whale and Adam spent the time getting to know who we were to customize the tribal markings on the whale for my partner and when custom designing my tattoo. He found out what I liked, what I’ve done while on the island, and I gave him full control to run with it. The design he articulated was what I wanted without even knowing so. If you’re thinking of getting a tattoo while in Maui call before you leave or as soon as you land and get on his books. He’s busy. Had three walk ins looking for appointments while I was on his chair. His personality and intelligence will keep you entertained and engaged while you’re tattooed. The shop is family owned and he cares about his work and what he’s putting on your body.
She did a great job! They took the time to do custom work and every tattoo is different. They were all easy going and great atmosphere. Very happy with my tattoo and my experience. Highly recommended.
Adam was amazing! We were on a family trip last month and made you feel calm and comfortable the entire time- and the shop was very clean! Would definitely recommend Sweet Trade Tattoo!
Overall experience was awesome! Came in with a vague idea of Joltik I wanted and David turned it into an awesome tattoo I LOVE!!! Everyone there was great to talk to in the meantime, definitely would go back if Im ever in the area again.
My husband and I cannot recommend this shop enough. Adam was peek professional, incredibly knowledgeable, and has a passion for art in general. The studio is colorful and clean, and sanitized between each session. The tattooing was quick and painless thanks to Adam’s soft touch. Loved every moment of being there, and hope to return again next year.
It was my first tattoo and I was a bit anxious. My wife had been to Sweet Trade Tattoos before and assured me I was in good hands. As soon as we entered the shop, I saw what she meant. Adam and Siobhan create a truly comfortable environment. Adam helped perfect my tattoo design (a tribute to my dogs) and then delivered beyond my expectations. My wife was equally pleased with her tattoo by Siobhan. We couldnt be happier with our tattoos and would come back and do it again in a heartbeat.
Wonderful experience get a tattoos at sweet trade tattoo. All the people inside are nice and friendly and help you with every single request. Highly recommended!!!
Researched the heck out of styles and designs for a new tattoo I was hoping to get while in Maui and found Sweet Trade Tattoo and Adam delivered on exactly what I was hoping for. I couldnt be happier! I met Adam and his daughter Siobhan and both are wonderful people. The shop is small, personable and clean. Adams fantastic art work and their tattoo designs paint the walls. I couldnt stop looking around. Adam puts you at ease, great conversation, relaxing, and fun. A fabulous experience all around, you cant go wrong going to them. Im already thinking of what to get next so I can have an excuse to go back.
My mom, girlfriend, and I all got some tattoos during our stay in Maui. HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND to go to these guys at Sweet Trade!! Adam and David did these pieces here. Both are extremely friendly, genuinely care about what you want on your body, and will give you the dopest pieces!
Super happy with my experience. First tatoo ever. Been thinking about a Polynesian turtle tatoo for a couple years and couldnt be happier with the finished product. So happy I stumbled across Adam and the shop.
Got an amazing tattoo from Siobhan! Came in and made an appointment while on vacation with family and the whole staff was really helpful and were able to squeeze us in before we left. Very talented, professional, and friendly. Can’t wait to come back for more!
A wonderful experience, and one we would repeat. Friendly family experience with people who take pride in their work, and make sure you as the customer feel respected and welcome. Thank you so much Adam, Siobhan,and Athena. You made our experience memorable!
Best Tattoo Shop on Maui!!!Adam and Siobhan are master artists, and their work is stunning. I told Adam to pick whatever he wanted, wherever he wanted and he delivered! I love my new flower and cant wait to come back for more!
I lost my son to suicide 5 years ago. We were in Maui on what would have been his 40th birthday. I wanted to do a memorial tattoo for him. David helped me design the perfect one that Im so very happy with. He has done work for me before and I cant think of anyone else that I could depend on to make this emotional experience so perfect. David, thank you. You are the best.
Adam was great and I love my tattoo! He was quick and communication was awesome. My tattoo turned out fantastic! I gave him my sample and he made it his own while staying true to the vision. I paid less than I anticipated as well! Great shop if youre looking to get new ink on Maui!
We wanted our 3rd trip to Maui to be special and Adam made it happen. We talked to Adam a couple weeks before we arrived on Maui and he explained the process of getting our tattoos. From first consultation when we arrived and getting our tattoos the day before we left the island. Thanks Adam we love our new tattoos.
Amazing tattoo shop in Maui. The atmosphere was great and the owner Adam very nice. There work is absolutely amazing and you wont be disappointed. I will definitely come back for another tattoo!!!
Closed out our Hawaiian vacation with Turtle tattoo on my arm. Adam did a hell of a job embellishing my design making it quite unique. It was a painless and enjoyable experience. Can’t wait to see what next Hawaiian vacation brings.
Chauvin (I’m not sure if I spelled her name correctly, I apologize if it’s wrong!) was my artist for my 4th tattoo. She was awesome! A little quiet, but still cracked some jokes, she was very respectful, very aware of where I was getting too tender/sore and was sure to be more gentle in those areas. My tattoo only took about an hour and a half, the lines look phenomenal! She made sure I was comfortable on the table before we started, very clean and sanitized area. When I wanted my tattoo a little bigger than planned, she fixed the stencil for me no problem! Extremely happy with how it turned out, definitely planning to get another tattoo here on our next vacation. Thank you so much Adam & Sweet Trade tattoo fam!
If you are looking for a great tattoo shop to visit in Maui, you HAVE to come here!! My husband and I came here on the last day of our Honeymoon as a walk in and are so thankful we were able to make an appointment. Adam sat down with my husband and I to really talk about the meaning of what my husband wanted in his tattoo. It was such an incredible experience. He wrote down words we were saying and when we came back later that day he had the most incredible sketch done. He labeled each piece for us to explain all the different meanings and where they corresponded on the tattoo within the turtle. We were able to take a copy home so we can have it forever..It was my first tattoo and he made me feel SO comfortable. I was really nervous and he kept me calm the whole time. I loved talking with him about his time on the island. His artwork is incredible. THANK YOU so much for the work you did!!!! We are obsessed with the pieces you created.
Dave was absolutely amazing. He squeaked us myself, husband and daughter in! We did a great job. Highly recommend!!
My husband and I were on our honeymoon in Hawaii and decided to get tattoos very last minute. I had read sweet trade tattoos reviews and they were all good so we stopped in right when they opened. We were immediately helped and minutes later we were in the chairs getting tattoos. Adam did my tattoo and Siobhan did my husbands and we absolutely love them. They were both really great to work with and we had a fantastic experience overall. We will definitely be coming back to Maui in the future and would 10/10 recommend this tattoo studio.
Artist was super sweet, fast and my tattoo looks great love the art work & the color. Definitely stop and check them out if your thinking of getting a tattoo in Maui. Her cost was less than others I checked out. Very happy. 🤩
Thank you Adam for my butterflies! I have always been afraid of larger tattoos but to get the detail, they needed to be bigger. Adam did a great job getting the detail while keeping them in a size I was more comfortable with and the shading is beautiful. I have also never had a tattoo heal so well/fast before! I’m super impressed! We were also thankful to walk-in to the shop and get appointments that worked with our schedule before our vacation ended. We appreciate you working with us on timing. The shop is nice, clean, and professional.Thanks again Adam for my beautiful butterflies in remembrance of my Grandma.Mahalo!Jessie
My first time meeting Adam at Sweet Trade was about a year ago. He tattooed a beautiful lotus scene on my shoulder- during this trip to Maui I made sure to see him again. We added to the original lotus design and bridged it to another existing tattoo. I absolutely love the results! Adam is an amazing artist and an even better person- when I was talking about a larger piece, he said he’d be happy to do it but also gave me a recommendation for another tattoo artist closer to where i live in California. Adam and his business truly abide by the aloha spirit! If you’re in the area and looking to have some work done this is Absolutely THE place to go! I know I will be coming back on my next trip!
Had a great experience with Adam, he made me very comfortable from the 1st time I spoke with him! Adam did a wonderful job incorporating writing done by my family with his beautiful artwork! Shop was very clean and everyone was very welcoming! I would highly recommend!
Decided to get another tattoo while in Maui. Adam was great to interact with. My 18 yo son also got his first professional tattoo and it was a great experience for him. Adam did his tattoo and he loves it. Siobhan did a turtle tattoo for me and I love it. Would highly recommend the business. We checked out their reviews before going, and they have very satisfied customers, which now includes my son and me. The photo was taken the 2nd morning after getting it.
Totally awesome shop to have stumbled upon on vacation! Everyone was super patient, friendly and just amazing. We walked in to see if we could get a last second tattoo a couple days away and they got us in with no issue. The line work is so clean, so detailed and I dont think Ive ever had such a quick tattoo. Literally pure skill, I could feel the smooth and steadiness during the tattoo, unparalleled. Thank you guys! 💕
Wonderful experience! Dave was exceptionally professional, he gave excellent customer service and he’s a very skilled and talented artist! Thank you so much and Steve and Marsha hope to see you again!!
Excellent all the way! I consulted with Adam my desires for new ink; he listened and delivered.The shop is clean. The work was the fastest healing of any tattoos I have. No swelling or fluid leaking.Check out the art on the walls too!Photos are day 1Wrapped day 3Bare day 3 almost completely healed!No scabbing !Two paws up!Mahalo
I got my first tattoo here, wanting to remember a beautiful trip with the initials of my husband and kids. They understood exactly what I was looking for and created it beautifully. No edits! Thank you for taking great care of a newbie!
Found these guys in a whim while visiting Maui, walked in and they were able to get myself and my wife in the same day. They stayed a little late to finish us up, had great conversations and just felt connected. Meeting some locals was extremely heartwarming and seeing how the people of Lahaina became even more of a family after the tragedy, was incredible to witness. Beautiful people and absolutely have my vote for amazing art and just good, honest, kind people. We will be back on our next visit to Maui!
Got a traditional turtle behind by ear. The attached image was the ink after 1 day. The healing process has been great and the people at the shop were super nice and fun to talk with. If I come back to Maui, Im coming back to Sweet Trade!
Great experience at Sweet Trade Tattoo! My decision was kind of last minute but Adam was so generous squeezing me into his busy schedule. My husband scheduled a consultation and I had been thinking about getting the tattoo I got for a while. When my husband told me that he was planning on getting a tattoo; basically I thought; I want one too! When in Maui…I booked the appointment right then and there when Adam said he could fit me in too; didn’t even give it a second thought. Adam explained the best spot for my tattoo on my hip and it it turned out beautifully! Definitely recommend Sweet Trade Tattoo!!
My husband and I were vacationing in Maui and decided to get tattoos of our sons name. I searched up tattoo shops near us and am so grateful I came across Sweet Trade Tattoo! Not only is Adam a terrific artist, but he was full of wonderful stories and has such a positive attitude. He made us feel comfortable and welcomed. The shop was well kept and clean! We hope to be back to beautiful Maui in the future and I already know I want to make another stop at Sweet Trade Tattoo! I love my tattoo.Thank you Adam!
My wife and I along with a close friend reached out while on vacation with semi short notice looking to get some small pieces done. Staff was fantastic and helpful with design and setting the appointment. We came back a few days later and each had a session with Adam. His work is phenomenal and his knowledge of the art of tattooing shows. We couldn’t recommend Sweet Trade enough to anyone looking for some great work!
Sweet trade tattoo is an amazing tattoo shop. Both Adam and his daughter are extremely kind and extremely talented at what they do. I got a tattoo from Adam during my trip, and my step mom got a tattoo from his daughter as well, and both turned out better than imagined. I will definitely be back in the future and definitely recommend sweet trade tattoo!
Stumbled upon this amazing interaction with Sweet Trade Tattoo and Adam. His emotion, spirit, and deep respect for family and people in general, plucked heart strings. I contacted the store email address to see if they were 1. open (due to the recent events in Lahaina) and 2. able to do a tattoo. I was leaving Hawaii the next day. Adam responded and we spoke on the phone. Even with the difficulties of movement on Maui and the instability at the time, he did his best to accommodate. He told me his story, he asked me mine, and allowed me to come in. The shop has such a clean, cool atmosphere, sterilization techniques mastered, and knowledge of tattooing is amazing. Highly recommend is going to Maui. Mahalo Adam and Sweet Trade Tattoo
I got a fine line tattoo from Adam and I must recommend his work. He was able to create and complete exactly what I was looking for, and from my friends and family alike I’ve received multiple compliments on the beauty of the tattoo and how much they love it. Go to Sweet Trade—they do incredible work!!
Part of our yearly trip to the island always includes a visit to Adam and the crew at Sweet Trade Tattoo. Talent is an understatement, I show up with an idea and Adam always brings it to light. Weve had multiple sessions adding to the previous work and it always comes together so seemlessly! Needless to say my husband and I willbe back! If your on Maui make the appointment to get some work done by Adam or one of his talented artists, you will be so glad you did !Mahalo Sweet Trade !
Most amazing group of people to get tattooed by. Made my dream tattoo come to life and absolutely recommend! Will definitely be back
Sweet Trade tattoo is an awesome shop. Adam and Siobhan are kind, warm, talented tattooers and I enjoyed my time there. My friend and I were met with professionalism and warm smiles, and I will definitely go back to that shop if I ever vacation to Maui again.
Went and got this back in September, I wanted to wait til it was healed to write a review and then I forgot so here it is, so happy with my tattoo this was a spontaneous choice and I am just so happy with how it came out. I am from AZ and came to Maui for my honeymoon I already have tattoos so I knew what I was getting into. I didn’t know what I was looking for other than I wanted a pineapple showed him a couple of examples and boom this is what he came up with. Very easy going artist who is very reasonable for price and very easy going in general. If I ever come back I’ll be getting another tattoo.
Absolutely fantastic experience! My whole family (5 of us) went in and discussed our tattoos with Siobhan ahead of time. When we arrived for our appointments she was completely ready to go. She was personable, professional and we all love our tattoos. When we come back to Maui (and we will be back) another visit here will be a required part of the trip.
One of the best tattoo shops ive ever been to, i got 2 sharks on my ribs and my artist adam coached me throught the pain and was amazing and it came out perfect
Spent several days in Kaanapali in November 2019 for a family vacation. Out of the blue I decided to get a tattoo in Maui. Its been 15 years since my last tattoo. I researched all the tattoo shops around the area and kept seeing great reviews about Adam. I decided to drop in to the shop and chat with Adam with the tattoo ideas I had in mind. He immediately took an interest in what I wanted done and gave me several great suggestions. I decided to let him design everything. The next day, he opened his shop up on his day off just to do my tattoo. His Titbetan Buddhist Phurba (dagger) design was so cool and authentic. It was more than I couldve imagined. He also designed a simple but yet cool meaningful turtle tattoo. I had great conversations with him and loved the music that he cranks up while he zones out and gets to work. He has a very even touch and the tattoo process did not hurt at all. I am very pleased with what he designed and the whole process. Adam is a very straight up cool guy and extremely talented artist. It is worth checking out his shop and considering him to ink you. I will definitely be back to get more tattoos from him each time I go to Maui. Thanks so much Adam. You rock!! \m/
This place was amazing, everywhere around. Adam is a amazing artist, got to know you, your interest to be able to understand what you wanted exactly. Very amazing talented artist, very outgoing. 10/10 if I come back to maui Ill get another tattoo from him. I loved my sting ray he did today, and it describes everything he asked.
Adam was so amazing. They are a small shop, so if you are thinking at all of getting a tattoo while you are staying in Maui, get in touch with them beforehand. He got us in on our last day so we could fully enjoy our time on the island, met with us to personalize our tattoos, and gave both of us the greatest thing to take back from our trip. He is extremely experienced, a great conversationalist, and an all around awesome human. Thank you, Adam!
My tattoo experience with the whole team at Sweet Trade was great from the first time I contacted them until Adam was finished with my art piece that he specifically designed for me after a conversation we had. Highly recommend this place.
The best tattoo experience I’ve had, hands down.Adam is an artist with an infectious passion for his craft that shows in his work. I absolutely love the design he created and, judging from the numerous compliments I’ve received, many others do as well.Stop inside, you won’t leave disappointed!
Highly recommend!! Please check them out if youre ever in West Maui! Will definitely return... Very pleased with my tattoo ☺️ The Island and the hospitality of this shop enhanced my experience and left a long lasting impression!
Adam Was one of the most knowledgeable personal customer service tattooers Ive ever been privileged to have inked me. from the get go, he was so helpful with size color placement time and Patient with my sister and I. He knows how to be direct and honest and so helpful!! one of the best artists I have ever met. Def will give a high rating and recommendation to anyone who has the time to get some ink!Thanks for making our ink special!!!!!
I highly recommend Sweet Trade Tattoo. Adam spent a lot of time during the consultation to get to know me and my story. As a result, my tattoo is a reflection of my soul. The shop is beautiful and clean. Adam and staff were professional and full of the Aloha spirit and tattoo is awesome I will definitely be back for another one ❤️🤙🏼
Amazing job. Got a tattoo and told what I wanted with a few reference pics and created a great tattoo. Adam even wrote out the meaning of each part of tattoo on page with picture. Small shop that requires you to come in to reserve appointment and always a little busy. Very upfront and honest. The art and speed of doing tattoo were awsome. Will be back again.
Adam did a fairly large size cover up tattoo for me. I had been talking with him on and off for almost 2 years. His communication is next to none. His creativity and dedication to customer satisfaction is next to none. I look forward to building a full sleeve and chest tattoo over the coming years. Mahalo Adam and Sweet Trade Tattoo!
Searched many tattoo shops on the island and chose this place. The shop was the cleanest tidiest tattoo shop I’ve ever seen. Both Siobhan and Adam were very professional. Great vibes all around. Adam was my artist and did took my simple idea and made it amazing. Was an absolute joy being ink by him. Really light handed to. If I ever come back to Maui I’ll definitely be swinging by again. May be my smallest tattoo but it’s definitely my favorite tattoo experience 11/10 recommend.
Adam did a phenomenal job. Took an idea and turned it into art! He was very knowledgeable and patient. We were able to schedule for next day. Highly recommend these artists!
Adam and the whole crew at Sweet Trade Tattoo are top notch and SO freaking talented! Adam has been tattooing for 29 years and it really shows through his light hand, eye for color, and stunning finished work (plus, he’s a pretty darn cool dude to chat with while you’re in the chair).The warm watercolors in the plumeria and Humuhumu complement my existing cool toned Honu so beautifully!Will definitely be back the next time I’m on Maui. Mahalo Sweet Trade!
Ink Artist Adam!! You are the Best! GREAT design & skillsVery sharp line works with fading skills. Thank you so MUCH!
Amazing work and such a chill guy! My wife and I both got matching turtles with pineapples and they turned out amazing! Will send updates when theyre all healed up.
Got my first tattoo here on our last day on Maui. The vibe was great and I’m super happy with the work done!
Adam is the best! I love my new tattoo! I was looking for a Polynesian tattoo design, showed him the idea I had and he designed it. I love it! Thank you Adam!
This was my 4th tattoo and it was a pleasantly different and wonderful experience from the moment you walked through the door. You were welcomed and there was never pressure only assistance and guidance in choosing what you wanted. I also found it very reasonably priced.I love what I had done.
A very comfortable shop ran by an exceedingly talented artist. All staff is very friendly and accommodating. Make an appointment early especially for anything large or custom. Ill be getting plenty of work done here in the future.
Decided on a whim to get a tattoo while vacationing in Maui and visited a couple of stores before deciding on Sweet Trade. Three reasons why I chose here. One: I loved the down to earth ness of the store and prices were exceedingly reasonable. Two: when I walked in, I overheard Adam chatting with another customer who I learned was a repeat customer. Good sign. Three: Adam. Personable and friendly tattoo artist, poet, philosopher and all around good guy who’s gonna make sure your tattoo is exactly how you like it.I made an appointment in person. The process was smooth. Plus, Adam is a great conversationalist. Don’t know when I’ll next be in Maui but I’d be back whenever that is!
I had at an amazing experience at Sweet Trade Tattoo!!! Shioban was a focused and at ease artist. Im so happy with how the ink turned out, I got a drawing of Stitch by Lilo by Shioban, I love it :) :) :) Adam and Shioban were relaxed and welcoming, and the shop was both cozy and organized. I love that they both seem to have a lot of fun taking their art seriously!!
Adam was super flexible and squeezed us into his schedule after we called fairly last minute. 4 of us got matching tattoos and they are better than expected and healing up great!
My family and I went to Maui on vacation and six of us wanted tattoos. We looked around and found great reviews for sweet trade tattoo and went there right away. Adam was up to doing the six of our tattoos early the next day. We were super excited to leave with a permanent memento from our trip. The work we all walked out with was great from the color work, traditional, fine line, and small tattoos. I would love to find myself back in Maui to get more tattoos here.Thank you for the time and care you gave us!Picture is from 4 days after tattoo was done.
Adam is fantastic! Too many shops prey on tourists; inking them with fast-food tattoos. Adam takes the time to talk through your ideas and develop just the right art for you and your body. Super happy with our souvenirs!
Honestly would give more than 5 stars if I could. Coming from the mainland, this shop made me feel at home and I was in great hands. My tattoo turned out more beautiful and spectacular than what I had thought of. Adam, thank you so much for an amazing experience and I look forward to coming back!This shop deserves more acknowledgement then a rating scale. Siobhan, thank you much for my first tattoo! My experience with you and Adam was spectacular! I will definitely be back!!!
Just want to say if in Maui and you are wanting a tattoo. Sweet trade is the best place. I had the best experience there sat down and talked with them gave them an idea. And they designed my tattoo in a couple of days. Very clean and super friendly. I am definitely going back to get more😁
Excellent tattoo shop. I had my father’s signature tattooed on my inner bicep. Wife had a wave tattoo done on her forearm. Met with Adam a few days ahead of our appointment to confirm what we wanted. Adam was ready to go at our appointment. He has tons of experience and is great to chat with while getting a tattoo. He made the whole experience a breeze. Highly recommend
My experience was amazing and when I get ready to add to my tattoo, Ill come back. I live in Idaho and I was in Maui filming a music video and this tattoo ties it all up. Thank you Adam.International SingerEntertainerKevin Sam
When I was on vacation in Maui back in Dec 2022, I had decided that I wanted a Polynesian turtle tattoo to commemorate my trip. I had looked up shops in Lahaina and Sweet Trade Tattoo popped up.I decided to go in to check out the shop and the artists. I met with Adam and discussed what I had wanted and booked my appointment with Siobhan.On the day of my appointment, Siobhan was ready and invited me in. She has a steady light hand and we shared a couple stories. Adam was working on painting a canvas and we chatted quite a bit as well. There was a couple points that I had almost forgotten that I was getting inked as the conversation was so great. I love my piece. Siobhan did a fantastic job. Thank you both for running such a great shop. I would recommend it to anyone in Maui to at least pay them a visit if getting ink is on your mind.
My friend and I went in for a last minute walk-in, and everyone was so lovely! David did such an amazing job on my tattoo, I couldnt be happier. He gave amazing suggestions and the shop was extremely welcoming!
Had a great experience at Sweet Trade. Adam was fantastic. He took my idea and created a design that exceeded my expectations. Super friendly and professional place.
My husband and I were vacationing on Maui and decided to each get a tattoo to honor the passing of our 17 year old dog last year. We reached out to Sweet Trade via their website messaging tool and received a response within a few hours with details on how to proceed. We met with Siobhan who listened to what we wanted and assured us that she would have art work ready for us on the day of our appointment. When we arrived for the appointment Siobhan helped us tweak the artwork to exactly what we wanted and she was very patient and sensitive to the reasoning behind our images. We each got an image of one of our dogs favorite toys and we could be happier with the finished result. Thank you Siobhan and Sweet Trade!
I have wanted a fine line turtle tattoo on my ankle for sometime now. My husband encouraged me to finally get it while we were in Maui. After a little research I landed on a couple different tattoo shops that we went to check out. I knew right away Sweet Trade Tattoo was my place. The vibe is very relaxed and he understood right away what I wanted. He was also able to get me in on my last day there which was what I was hoping for. I loved the designs he created and I was so surprised at how fast he was. I wasnt sure what to expect once it healed. Honestly, its only been a few weeks and it could not have turned out any better!! Clean dark beautiful lines all the way though!! Thanks so much!! I will be back one day for sure!!
Awesome place to receive some ink therapy! My wife and I were on vacation with some friends in Maui at the end of January and decided we wanted to get some ink to commemorate our time there. We searched for a place on the internet and found that Sweet Trade Tattoo had great reviews. Siobhan did an awesome job on all four of our tattoos! Very cool place to get some ink! So if you’re looking for a memory that will last a lifetime. I highly recommend Sweet Trade Tattoo!
Adam took care of my wife Cindy and I. Top notch customer service. He took the time to meet with us a few days before and helped us lock in the in our matching tattoos. Hearing his stories and just regular chit chat was awesome. Would recommend him without question. His daughter Siobhan was awesome to hang with during our visit.
Meeting Adam, the owner of Sweet Trade Tattoo is an all around cool experience. His talent is truly amazing and his spirit is 100% Aloha. He is the calmest and most focused tattoo artist we have ever met, for sure. You will not regret your decision if you come here. He cares about your vision and makes sure you are happy with the design before beginning. My husband got the most beautiful tattoo from Adam, while on our vacation and now he has it to remember Maui, every time he looks in the mirror. So special. Thank you Adam, all the way from Colorado!
I am so incredibly happy with my tattoos done by Siobhan- not only did she do my tattoo quickly but painless- she has been tattooing for years and the minute I met her I could tell I would be able to trust her fully in the work I wanted done! This tattoo shop 10000% is clean, well maintained, a fun atmosphere and great conversations were had- I was extremely comfortable and will definitely be back for future work! I did lots of research before choosing Sweet Trade Tattoo and couldn’t be happier with my decision! For anyone looking to get work done pls go see Siobhan and Adam! Mahalo ❤️
My daughter wanted to get matching tattoos with me while on vacation. She checked around and found Sweet Trade. We went in for an initial consultation on a Saturday with our design idea. my daughter’s tattoo was done on Monday by Siobhan. Adam did mine a few days later. The tattoos were fairly basic but they had a lot of meaning to us. We both were a little nervous but were put at ease during the process. We are both happy with the process and results.
First time in Hawaii, came to get a tattoo for a lasting souvenir. I got a small turtle on my wrist, done by Adam. He did amazing work. He was very experienced, and had a light hand, so it didnt hurt. He had great ideas making my tattoo even better. I will definitely come back to get another tattoo.
Aloha!! This is a nice local tattoo shop. Very clean, very knowledgeable, extremely friendly and overall amazing artists! I had David do a piece he had in his sketch book. It turned out truly beautiful! I believe art isnt just what we want but sometimes its letting the artist do what they want! I am so very happy with my piece and I am so glad I got a 1 ofakind drawing. Thank you so oooooo much!!Hollywood
Place was filled with good vibes the moment I stepped in the door! Being from Lubbock, Texas I was definitely be back and get more ink. Adam did my work and shared great stores. Highly recommend this place if youre ever down in the area!
Super fantastic piece by Siobhan, LOVE IT!!! Cant stop looking at it in the mirror. Mahalo Sweet Trade Tattoo for helping me tell my story and carry it no matter where I go. Until next time, Aloha!
Adam was unbelievable! He gave me the ultimate Hawai’i souvenir. Very personable en knowledgeable, he made the 90 minutes fly by. And just look at the pictures. Beautifully done. Thank you very much! I’ll spread the word in NYC for sure!
Adam did my tattoo!!! He is such an amazing artist!!!! Ahhh I teared up after it was done. I’m so so so in love with my tattoo & the way he wanted to get to know me before he tattooed me!!!! Such a great guy! Such a great shop! Definitely will be back so he can give me more tattoos ❤️
Adam and Siobhan rock. Plain and simple. My wife called to inquire about a tattoo while on vacation in Maui and Adam got her in same day for a consult, made a fantastic design and executed a crispy clean tattoo a few days later before we left town. Bonus: is he was able to fit me in for a quick banger on my leg as well on the day of her appointment despite the shop being busy. Friendly, easy to talk to, clean lines and quality work. Thanks so much!
Sweet Trade Tattoo gave us the best souvenir to top off our visit to Maui. We were able to set an appointment for the next day which happened to be our last morning in town. We were able to get a custom tattoo for myself and my young adult son in about an hour each. Our tattoos look great and we will definitely be returning customers next time we are in town.
My wife and I absolutely loved our experience with Adam! We went in the day before our last day here on Maui and he helped us design tattoos so they were absolutely perfect for us! He didn’t push any different style then what we wanted but helped us get what we were envisioning! We love our tattoos! Great guy to chat with too! Adam has tons of knowledge in his craft.
Adam is the best tattoo artist ever. He is truly a professional. I’ve never had any scarring, scabs or blood. I love sitting down over a coffee and collaborating on original designs that fit my personality and lifestyle. I get a new one from him every trip I make to Maui and I won’t get a tattoo anywhere else. His Polynesian inlays are rich in historical meaning, extremely detailed, and worth every penny. DO NOT pass up Sweet Trade. My recommendation is to do it right and make an appointment so you can get an original tattoo that you will absolutely love for the rest of you life rather than just settling for something you pick off the wall display (but he does those really well too ). And he has original oil painting. Looking to get one for my office.
I had an amazing experience at street trade tattoo. I was in Maui on a family vacation and decided to get a tattoo at the end of the trip, they took my idea and drew something up very personal and custom like no other tattoo so it was personal to me. They were 100% upfront about the time it would take the requirements of healing afterwards and also the price of the tattoo which was reasonably and fair compared to other shops in the area. with getting a custom drawing and design, I feel like it was 100% fair and equal. They had a clean studio, great customer service, and an awesome atmosphere that was very welcoming. Adam, the studio owner did my tattoo and it looks amazing. He Checked on my comfort level throughout the whole appointment and making sure everything was OK. A beautiful piece of artwork, with meaning behind it, I’m lucky I get to have forever. Will definitely be going back, if given the opportunity to come back to the island and would recommend to anyone looking to get a tattoo.
Fantastic experience from start to finish! This was my second tattoo, and I had some anxiety about getting it while on vacation. Adam was professional and quick and I felt relaxed and at ease the whole time. The cost was very reasonable. I love my bird of paradise, and looking forward to returning on my next trip to Maui. Highly recommend.
I would highly recommend these guys! Adam was an amazing artist and a super cool guy. I love that this place is family owned.
Adam, was extremely professional and kind, he took the time to answer all our questions. Although the tattoo was rather simple it was the first time my wife and I got one. I would absolutely go back to them for more. Great people.
What an awesome experience. Adam and his wife not only make you feel comfortable, but they’re super cool people and fun to talk to !! I took two of my kids in for their first tattoos and got a new one for myself. I checked all around Maui and his shop had the best reviews. That, and our initial meeting where he told me he spoke the proper languages to put my story into my tattoo was enough for me to give him my business. 10/5 stars. Will return next year !!
Siobahn did a great original piece based on my idea. I highly recommend her and the shop as a whole. The shop is very clean and comfortable.Id recommend stopping by with your idea so they can take it and make it more customized to your desires then set up an appointment or they possibly can do a walk in if time allows.If youre ever on the westside (or Maui in general) Sweet Trade is the place to go!
Mahalo for the most amazing tattoo! These are the most loving, genuine people! Siobahn is incredibly talented! I am blessed!
Stopped in and was lucky enough to find they had an open appointment first thing the next day. Siobhan was expertly helpful get everything set up. My husband and I were looking for a simple wave for our ring fingers. She did a great job! The shop was super clean! The owners are an awesome couple that really take pride in their work. They will take their time getting to know you so that they can give you the best experience possible!! They also sell some beautiful art and jewelry made by them in the shop.Im planning on coming back next time for a bigger tattoo next time Im in Maui which wont be soon enough!! Thanks Siobhan!!!
Adam was extremely professional and still lots of fun. The shop is very clean, they take that very seriously. My tattoo is exactly what I wanted and is perfect! Small business rocks! Highly recommend!
They were very accommodating with me only having three days left on the islands. I was able to get in with Siobhan and she did an awesome job with my tattoo and watercolor background that I wanted. This place is definitely a must to get your tattoos while visiting. Great people!
Adam, owner of Sweet Trade Tattoo, is as good as it gets! We met at the beginning of my trip to review what I wanted and why and went back at the end of my trip and got the best tattoo I could ask for. His steady hand, eye for detail, ability to work with a moving canvas (me!) and efficiency is 2nd to none. I cant say enough about him! He is truly an artist and is up for any challenge. I would highly recommend you talk to Adam. Go to his website to see some of his work.
My family & I wanted to get a tattoo as a memory for our trip to Hawaii. We stopped in at Sweet Trade Tattoo & spoke to Athena. She was very courteous, very knowledgeable and very patient. We went back a few days later and met Adam. He was very patient as well, really listens to what you say & creates the design you want and makes any changes you may request. He put me at ease right away. Explained everything to me in detail, asked if I had any questions. The shop was very clean, very organized. I highly recommend this shop to anyone & everyone who wants an exceptional, excellent tattoo. I was so impressed with Adam, I had two tattoos done that day!! I LOVE my tattoos!!!! It was a wonderful experience getting to know this husband and wife team. We will definitely be back. Thank you so much Adam & Athena Mahalo!!!!
Best experience!! I had a butterfly tattoo on my shoulder I got a long time ago and had been wanting to cover it up. I saw many people recommending Sweet Trade Tattoo in a Facebook group about Maui. So I reached out to Adam a month ahead of my trip. We exchanged a few emails and I felt comfortable with setting up an appointment. I stopped in my first day on the Island and met his sweet wife Athena and set up my tattoo to be completed on my last day. When I arrived Adam was very professional, had a few options drawn out for what I wanted and I picked the one that I loved. Adam was very efficient and experienced. I love, love my new tattoo and he did my cover up perfectly. I couldnt be happier and I highly recommend Sweet Trade if you are looking for a tattoo in Maui!
Adam and Siobhan are incredibly easygoing people. They were both so welcoming and fun to be around. Adam was easily one of the best artists I’ve been tattooed by and his hand is extremely steady. Their prices are absolutely more than fair, and I’m so happy I chose Sweet Trade during my time in Hawaii. Thank you!!!
My experience with Sweet Trade Tattoo was excellent. Adam was very professional and explained his process and my tattoo was simple and done in 10 minutes. I will definitely visit again when I come back to the island.
David and Adam were top notch! Both very detailed and personable. Not only did I get one but ended up with three new pieces from Adam!
Fantastic experience with Adam. Had a great consultation and then the work was done as requested and in a friendly and informative way. Really nice shop and environment the team have created and I’ll be there again next time I hit Maui (hopefully not too long!). There’s a lot of tattoo choices on the west side but boy did I get this this right.Thanks for everything Adam - it was great to meet you and maybe we’ll bump into each other in Japan next year!
So glad we did our research and found a great tattoo shop and artist. Sweet Trade Tattoo is definitely top notch. From the shop being super clean/sanitized, the environment super inviting, and the tattoo artist/owner Adam super funny and communicative… we had the best experience. We knew the Monogram tattoo we wanted so it was pretty straight forward. Overall, we would highly recommend this place!! :)
Just got tattooed at sweet trade by the owner Adam Considine. What a great tattoo shop and Adam is a great tattoo artist. He listened to what I wanted have done and because the tattoo was gonna fill my leg below the knee he got back to me in a few days with a hand drawn tattoo that was way better than I could have hoped for. He also was good conversation during the tattooing process. The shop itself was very clean and the vibe was very low key. Thanks Adam for working with me to give me a tattoo that I love and I’ll recommend you to anyone I know that’s coming to Maui.
Adam got me right in, worked fast and did an amazing job!! Everyone I met seemed so cool.Im so happy with my tattoo. I would definitely recommend Sweet Trade Tattoo and should I be back to visit again, I will definitely be booking another appointment.Mahalo..!
Adam was amazing to talk to. He made sure he fit us in for a newly wed tattoo before leaving for the airport. I highly recommend him. Very personable. Amazing chill energy. I already miss the experience of getting ink done in Maui! ty and aloha!
Very happy with my experience with Adam and Sweet Trade. I emailed during my vacation and we were able to communicate that way until I could make it into the shop. When I came in Adam knew who I was and we had a great conversation about the ideas of the tattoo as well as in general. He made me feel very comfortable with him and what was going to happen for next steps. We planned for my tattoo the last day of my vacation so that I could continue to enjoy the water and sun until the last minute basically. I texted him some of my ideas and photos so that he could draw my design up.Once at the shop, we didn’t have to make any adjustments to the design and we were able to get started. While we were getting ready another client came in to show his healing and to schedule next appointment and was super happy with his work too.Thanks Adam, you’re my new tattoo shop for my Maui vacations!
Adam was awesome! My spouse and I walked in last minute wanting matching tattoos to celebrate getting married in Maui last week and he was so accommodating. He was able to squeeze us in and we absolutely love our tattoos. Will definitely be back next time we’re in Maui!
Adam and his associate amazing. My wife and I have both received two awesome tattoos each. 2 of our adult grand children have received 1. All of our own designs they have modified them and sized them to our liking and placement and have expertly placed them on our bodies, with great attention to detail and always concerned about our comfort.We have several more adult grandchildren and their spouses who will soon be getting tattoos with grandma and grandpa.Thanks, Sweet Trade Tattoo, we will see you next year!
Adam is so great! We chatted so comfortably during my session, about so many things. I love when I have such a positive interaction with my artist because I will always remember it every time I see the tattoo. If you want an artist that really cares about the people he spends time with, Adam is your man! The art came out great and I love this piece of Hawaii I get to have with me!
We have been repeat customers for the last 4 years in a row, after searching the entire island for a specific design and the perfect tattoo shop, we finally met Adam and quickly discovered exactly what we were looking for. The knowledge and experience in Polynesian art was amazing, Adam took the time to discuss what we were looking for, took our ideas and created amazing pieces every time. Absolutely hooked on continuing to come back and having our current pieces added to, as well as new pieces. In January of this year we had matching, yet somewhat different Maui scenes and they are both amazing. Such a friendly atmosphere and ultra clean shop, Adam and Athena make you feel at home. Can’t wait to come back next year and continue this amazing journey, thanks again Adam, you rock!!!
Great studio and tattooists who provide responsive, professional service, creativity and collaboration for a variety of projects in a convenient and high standard studio. From my initial inquiry to a consultation and then application, they addressed my questions and needs, providing an efficient and pleasant experience. I highly recommend and have definite plans to return.
From the minute I walked through the door I was met with nothing but positive energy and excitement from Adam, the shops owner. He worked with me to put my ideas to paper and was able to schedule an appointment for me in a timely manner.I was lucky enough to have Siobhan create and ink my tattoo. She did a fantastic job capturing the likeness of my reference photos and adding an American traditional flare to the piece. The session lasted about 3 1/2 hours and the entire time I was comfortable and well taken care of.This is a family operated custom tattoo shop with nothing but good, professional, vibes. Next time Im back on Maui Ill be sure to stop by again!
I have gotten both of these tattoos done by Adam. He is really great at what he does. He takes your idea and runs with it. He will work around your schedule. I will definitely go back to him.
If you are someone visiting Maui and looking for a tattoo to commemorate your visit or just a tattoo in general, I HIGHLY recommend you come to Sweet Trade. Adam and Siobhan are an incredible father-daughter duo, both having their respective talents in the worlds of painting and tattooing.The vibes in the shop are immaculate, everything is clean and conversations are light and fun. You’re treated with respect and both artists work with you to find something that you’ll love for the rest of your life. Our group had a couple tattoo-virgins and both artists took the time to explain the process of tattooing, aftercare instructions, what they’ll experience beforehand and during, and to validate any fears the tattoo-ees may have. During our allotted times, a few walk-ins arrived and instead of turning them away, the artists made sure they would be seen at some point before they leave. Deposits and pricing is reasonable, I wouldn’t be upset if they charged more- their work is worth it and is done in a timely manner.Adam and Siobhan obviously care about and love their clients and what they do, I couldn’t recommend them enough.
Absolutely amazing! Adam did an awesome job on my tattoo. He is soft handed, fast and efficient. Quality is his main concern! Very fair process! He did my whole family. We will be back for sure!
My adult son decided to get a tattoo while we were on vacation. He had an idea of what he wanted, but needed some help bringing his vision to life. Adam, the owner, was easy to work with and collaborative; he made my son feel comfortable during the process. He was easy to talk to and provided an entertaining distraction during the tattooing process. His prices were reasonable, Adam was willing to work within our budget, and the tattoo turned out beautifully.In our research of tattoo shops, we learned that Sweet Trade is one of the only independently/locally owned shops in Maui; the rest are corporately operated. My son is already planning his next trip to Maui to have Adam give him another tattoo. Shop local, Mahalo Adam! 🌺
What an awesome place with awesome people. We had stopped in mid vacation to schedule and Adam had explained to us that it would be best to wait until the end of our vacation due to the possibility of infection in Hawaii (the island is covered in bacteria) the fact he looked out for us and wanted to make sure we stayed healthy and the tattoo quality would stay top notch! A shop that looks after clients and does awesome work, I highly recommend using sweet trade! They take time getting to know you listening to you and designing a piece that fits you! Quality of their work and hospitality is unbeatable!
I was in Maui and dropped in to Sweet Trade tattoo to see if they could fit me in before returning home. Siobhan was awesome! I showed her a rough idea of what I wanted and the finished product exceeded my expectations. It was the perfect ending to an amazing trip. I would definitely go back and highly recommend!
I had my very first tattoo done by Adam, who has done others with my partner. He was great and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. The outcome was a custom design based on “my story” that I shared with him. I’m ready to get my next upon my return to the island.
My husband and I wanted some tattoos to remind us of our honeymoon and our first time to Maui. We were able to talk with Adam about our ideas and he was able to draw up something that worked for us. We came in a couple of days later for our tattoos. They came out amazing, clean, and he took his time to make sure they turned out perfect. Had some great conversations and he made sure we were comfortable. Amazing work, fabulous details, and sharp lines. So in love with the tattoos and such a great way to remember our honeymoon.
Went to Maui with family and decided while I was there to get a tattoo honoring my cousin who had lived on the island. Looked up local tattoo shops near me and found Sweet Trade Tattoo. Went in and talked to Adam, the owner. He was really awesome in helping my vision come to life of what I wanted for my cousin. It was my first tattoo and he helped me through the process with ease and gave me careful instructions on after care. He really knows his stuff and is passionate about art and the art of tattoos. He makes his costumers feel comfortable and is excited to work with you on what you want done. Had a great experience and more than happy with the end results! 10/10 would recommend!
Went to sweet trade tattoo because of such great reviews from others, Adam exceeded our expectations. We told him what we had in mind and Adam knew what me and my friend were talking about and envisioned it beautifully for us. Highly recommend Adam because of his outstanding work and his hilarious personality! He’s so confident in his work which makes you feel comfortable with everything, I am beyond happy I got my tattoo done by Adam!
Getting a tattoo from Adam at Sweet Trade is the best tattoo experience Ive had. Adam listens to what you want and gives you honest feedback along with giving ideas. His artist talent and attention to detail really gave me the tattoo I wanted. For me scheduling time was easy since I live nearby. I did hear Adam work with visitors about when the best time would be for scheduling. Go and talk with Adam and see what he can do for you.
Amazing time me and my wife both got tattoos they are exactly what we wanted. Adam was great with tattooing and making us feel comfortable. Very friendly environmentWe will be getting more tattoos in the future from Sweet Trade
