Marlo is worth the wait! I was nervous to do a cover up, as my trust was a little lost with the last tattoo artist, and tattoos are for life. But Marlo absolutely killed it. She took my ideas and made them 1000x better. Her artistry took over and when I looked at every little detail, I was stunned. Im am so proud and honored to have this tattoo with me for life. I will not book with anyone else from here on out. And this time around I will have 100% trust in Marlo because she is honestly THE BEST. I must also add that the tattoo shop was very welcoming and smelled good. Marlo was welcoming as well and comforting. Extremely nice! I will be back!
I love this shop! Marlo is such an amazing artist, as are the other two artists Justin and Casper, and I couldnt be happier with my tattoo! Marlo worked with me to turn my original design into something truly unique and wonderful. I cant wait to go back to add onto my cap sleeve, and I know Ill be going back to her for all my tattoos as long as Im this part of Cali. I definitely recommend you stop in and see what kind of custom art any of these talented artists can come up with for you! A colleague of mine just got a custom traditional style lighthouse done by Justin and it looks crazy good!
We had a wonderful experience with Marlo. She is an amazing artist and a great all around person. We definitely recommend this shop if you want a calm, relaxed, environment that feels far more zen than most.
A few years ago when I was 21 I went here to get my second tattoo ever. I was really excited to get it done because I researched the owner, Marlo Lualemana, and thought she would be a fantastic artist to get tattooed by (I was wrong). I went to the shop and was told that I would be tattooed by someone else - an apprentice maybe. I wasnt sure but I trusted that she had the best people. He started tattooing me and I was a little nervous so I started laughing (obviously its hard to tattoo on someone moving). He tried a few more times but had to call Marlo to help. She very rudely grabbed my body and told me to stop moving and started tattooing. Once she completed a part of it she handed the pen back to him. When I saw the final result I was shocked to the the OBVIOUS handwriting difference - it was horrible. I waited a few days then wrote to Marlo explaining that the handwriting was off and that I wanted it touched up. She scheduled me to be touched up by the same guy for free. He did an ok job but in the end it was a botched job. A year after that I went to a fantastic cover up artist in Austin, Texas who made that whole mess disappear with his patience, grace and artistic talent. My only regret is that I wish I had written this review earlier to help others who maybe have had similar experiences.
The artists here are very welcoming and hospitable. Ive been going to Marlo for years! Interesting tidbit, she made the top 50 Polynesian tattoo artists in the world! Annnd the only female at that. Great place, great accomplishments, great people.
I got some work done here by Casper. The shop is small and cozy. All the people I interacted with were laid back and friendly. The work coming out of this shop is phenomenal. Thanks again Casper, youre a badass!!
Fantastic! Worked with Justin, and I cannot explain how great my experience was. So glad I got my first tattoo here. I Highly recommend, and I would definitely come here again.
The best custom tattoos ever. Best service and clean place. Marlo is so good at what she does and all of the artists there are legit.
Great artists, clean shop, and fun conversations. Justin did a phenomenal job on our couples compass tattoos. Looking forward to more art work in the future.
Im looking to get a few tattoos and be a permanent client. Due to covid-19 I have yet to visit. My review is based on friendliness and polite that I experienced contacting them.
LOVE this place and Marlo is beyond talented. Felt right at home. Good vibes and good people. Won’t go anywhere else. Ohana 🌺
