What else can I say but Amazing! The husband and I were in Oahu visiting family and celebrating our 25th Anniversary. He had been wanting a tattoo for a couple of years from home. Teva didn't disappoint, he actually blew our minds with his design, it was more than we were expecting with such short notice. He couldn't be happier and proud of his tattoo. Thank you so much Teva!! While waiting for the hubby, I decided to sneak one in as well and Nick did a great job on my plumeria flower. I've gotten so many compliments on it, everyone loves the colors and shading. Thank you so much Nick. You have customers for life!! read more

I'm so glad my friend suggested 808 Tattoo! Morgan was amazing! She is super sweet, knowledgeable and friendly! She not only did my nose piercing but I brought my daughter back to do hers as well. Morgan even squeezed me in for an emergency loss of my diamond stud. I highly recommend Morgan should you consider getting a pierce done! read more

Just went for my first session for tattoo removal with Nick. Super nice guy! Talked story to get me relaxed before and during the quick procedure. They charge depending on size so it's cheaper for smaller tattoos like mines. The place I went to prior to here charged a flat rate so it was a lot more expensive compared to 808 Tattoo. Had such a great experience, I booked to get a tattoo done in a couple weeks. read more

This place has great hospitality! Morgan did an awesome piercing job! Was thorough and treated with care.

I went for laser tattoo removal. What a great job Nick did! In a few sessions it was completely erased and he has such a caring touch that the sesh is over as quick as it began. He also answers all your questions which eases anxiety! Lol. Thanks 808 Tattoo! read more

My dog recently passed away, and it was absolutely heart-shattering. I wanted to get a tattoo to remember him...something done by an artist who specializes in black and grey realism. My previous tattoo artists moved to the mainland, so I turned to Yelp for help and came across 808 Tattoo. Shout out to whoever coordinated my appointment; you were awesome! I was assigned to Ronnie, and from the moment I walked into 808 Tattoo, everyone was warm and welcoming. The check-in process was quick and efficient, which I really appreciated. Ronnie is phenomenal. I already knew the placement and the photo I wanted, and he got to work right away. He captured every feature of my baby so beautifully. I still smile every time I look at the tattoo. This piece meant so much to me, and he did an incredible job. Thank you, Ronnie and 808 Tattoo, for making such a meaningful memory come to life :D read more

Gracie did an excellent job on my daughter's first tattoo. She has attention to detail and a pleasant personality. Pricing was very reasonable. Experience was better than expected. I will be back for services read more

Had my very 1st Tattoo done there about 3 years ago by Teva! He's amazing and was very supportive throughout my entire tattoo process! After getting my first one, Teva has been creating and working on my current sleeve (with Japanese Koi/Cherry Blossoms too). It looks amazing! I've also gotten many positive comments about it and I've referred them to give him a call. He's the best and always takes care of his clients! Amazing artist with a heart and love for his tattoo work! Recommend him to anyone! Love you Teva! read more

I've been going to Peggy since I was 18, and she's done the majority of my tattoos over the years. Her attention to detail is incredible, and she genuinely takes the time to understand exactly what you want. Every appointment feels collaborative, and she makes sure each piece is something you'll truly love. Not only is she extremely talented, but she's also kind, professional, and passionate about her work. You can tell she puts her heart into every tattoo she creates. I'm so grateful to have her as my artist, she's truly one of the best. The shop itself is just as impressive. The atmosphere is welcoming, and everyone there is kind and talented. I always feel comfortable walking in, and I couldn't recommend Peggy or this shop more. read more

I recently got my first tattoo done by Teva, this past Tuesday and Wednesday. I sent him what I wanted and he executed it perfectly, freehanded! The precision on his tribals and lines is so beautiful. His communication with me was very good and so was his ability to make me feel comfortable as it was my first time in a tattoo shop. Not only that, but his pricing is perfect and reasonable. Came out way cheaper than I expected! He also makes sure to think of his clients before thinking of himself, and that will stand out the most to me. read more

I have the highest praise for Nico and 808 tattoo. this is my third tattoo with him and as always it's amazing. he is so skilled and so much fun to work with. the shop has great vibes with lots of laughter. five star rating all the way! read more

Go see Lindsey! Me and a friend was at Ala Moana shopping around and we randomly decided to get our piercings that we've been wanting to do. Me and my earlobes and her helix. We walked in and Lindsey greeted us and we told her what we wanted. She had us fill out paper work and looked at and chose earrings that we wanted while she set up the room. She led us into her room and I decided to go first. She looked at my ears and showed me where she would be piercing, walked me through everything that would be happening, and I was pierced! It wasn't painful at all, it felt like a scratch. After that, my friend got her helix done and she informed us of the aftercare. After our visit Lindsey texted us and sent us a Piercing Aftercare pdf file and to let her know if we had any issues or questions. A month later we saw her again to let her look at our piercings and resize our earrings. Lindsey is amazing and I am happy I got my earlobes pierced by her. She is very professional, friendly, and very clean. I would definitely recommended her and I cannot wait to get more piercings read more

808 Tattoo - 1 month follow up with Lindsey - Tattoo Near Me - Kaneohe, Hawaii

I came here for an ear lobe re-piercing after my decades old piercing decided to close up on me. Initially when I came in, my lobe was rather angry at my attempts to force an earring through. So for that and other reasons, the piercer, Kylie, advised me to come back in a month or so. After about 2 months, my lobe was normal and soft and I finally had time to attend to a new piercing. I messaged Kylie on IG, as she gave me that contact during my previous visit. We set up an appointment for the next day. Upon arriving to the building, I snagged the last parking stall! They have free parking alongside the front of their building. It only took a few minutes for Kylie to get set up for my piercing. She was very thorough in her explanation of what was going to happen, what she was doing along the way, and what I should expect. Extremely professional and easy to talk to. After the piercing, which happened quickly and relatively painlessly, she detailed the aftercare instructions and also sent them to me via message. I would absolutely recommend Kylie for your ear and body piercing needs. She was very knowledgeable and I completely trusted her decisions. The pricing is very reasonable for the professional services you are getting. Don't get pierced at Claire's or similar shops! This place would be much safer, cleaner, and professional. read more

Mahalo Morgan & Staff!!! Wife and I were looking to get a couple of piercings done. It was already after 9:00p, but I decided to message their IG and within no time I got a reply. Thankfully we were able to get an appointment the very next day with Morgan who we met for the first time. My wife and I are older and haven't been pierced in a very long time, but Morgan was very welcoming and patient with us. We filled out our paperwork in a nice waiting area and then we were led to a piercing room. FYI the shop looks clean; piercing room too. Morgan took the time to explain everything to us and we very much appreciated that. Total cost came out a lot lower than we thought it would be. So, will we go back and see Morgan again? Yeppers! Mahalo! read more

Can't say enough how phenomenal of a job that Ronnie did. I had a tattoo that I had done over 25 years ago. It was faded and wasn't finished. He touched it up and added more artwork to my arm and I'm extremely happy with the finished product which turned into a full sleeve. Will definitely be going back to get more artwork done. read more

Thank you so much for the incredible tattoo 808! Your artistry and attention to detail truly exceeded my expectations for my first tattoo. I am absolutely thrilled with the result and can't wait to show it off. I appreciate your professionalism, talent, and amazing overall vibe in the shop. Absolutely love it, Peggy was my artist and did an amazing job. read more

Awesome place to get a tattoo. The 808 staff is very responsive and Peggy took the time to talk through what I wanted and creates beautiful florals and is great for the intricate details. If you are looking for a tribal tattoo I highly recommend Teva. He is so talented, does an incredible job and has such a kind soul. My experience with 808 was so positive and I would highly recommend Peggy and Teva. Both were exceptional! read more

My husband and daughter wanted to get tattoos while we were on O'ahu. My daughter wanted this as her HS graduation gift. She had major achievements this year and wanted a tattoo as another achievement lol. My daughter did some research and found 808 Tattoo on IG. She didn't need any further convincing as everything she saw and read about 808 Tattoo were nothing but great reviews and the pictures were amazing. The conversation was easy and responses were quick and in timely manner. My daughter wanted to do this with her dad and 808 Tattoo was able to accommodate this special request. Which made it even more special. My daughter made an appointment via text which was supah convenient. On their appointment date, we were greeted with friendly smiles and loads of aloha. Teva was my daughter's tattoo artist and Jordan was my husband's. Teva and Jordan immediately started working on their sketches. Jordan freehanded my husband's. My husband wanted to extend his existing tattoo and Jordan was amazing at creating an awesome Polynesian tribal tat. My daughter had something in mind and showed Teva and immediately, Teva says , "ok but I will make it even better". Loved that! Teva was confident and the result was beautiful! Both my husband and daughter's end result came out amazing! They loved their new tats! I also want to add that Jordan was friendly, focused and was a bruddah to my husband. They had an unreal connection through Tricia Allen who did my husband's tat in the past that Jordan extended. Jordan is such a great guy! Teva was also friendly and made my daughter feel welcomed and comfortable as this was her first tat. Both Jordan and Teva treated us ohana. The place was nice and clean. They were busy that day which is a good sign. If you're looking for a clean, safe, friendly place to get a tattoo on Oahu, look no further, 808 Tattoo is the place to be! My daughter is already talking about getting another tattoo with Teva! Mahalo bruddahs Jordan and Teva for making my ohana's dreams come true! read more

Another awesome experience! This time with Nick! Originally I had helped a friend to make an appointment for her very first tattoo which was scheduled on Super Bowl Sunday, was asked to come in earlier than the original scheduled time and ended up moving it to another day, decided to ask if I could be scheduled with her that day and it was no problem. Checked in on the day of our appointment with my friend and we were greeted by Myra, then our tattoo artist, mine being Nick (I apologize I can't recall the name of my friend's artist) .They were both very patient and took the time to explain the pros and cons of placement and sizing. The atmosphere was friendly, welcoming, meticulously clean and the other artists that were in that night are so supportive of each other. Nick made sure that I was comfortable throughout the whole process and was easy to talk to. Not only have I had the best experience with tattoos at this shop - I have taken both my of my daughters in for piercings with Myra! She is the sweetest and was also very patient with very great suggestions on placement of their piercings. I highly recommend coming to 808 Tattoo for your tattoo and piercing needs! read more

I recently went to 808 tattoo for a piercing. It's literally been around 20 years since the last time I was pierced. Morgan was so nice and made me feel super comfortable and at ease. She was thorough when going over the aftercare and told me to reach out if I had any questions. She also told me if I have trouble changing my jewelry that she'd do it free of charge. All in all it was a wonderful experience. I'd definitely recommend Morgan and this shop to anyone considering a new piercing. read more

I've been wanting this specific tattoo for years and felt impulsively like today was the day. They were generous to fit me in last minute with Holly. She was sweet, professional and super efficient.. she made this tattoo look elegant and feminine (it can be done different ways) and I am completely in love with it. I had also planned on doing it tinier and I'm so glad that she convinced me to go with the size that I went with. I wanted this more for the meaning of it, and didn't think I was going to be nearly as obsessed with the aesthetic of it, but I could not be happier, and I will definitely be coming back to her for more. read more

This was an excellent experience for me, and I was a little nervous going in. Teva knew and understood what I was going for both spiritually and aesthetically, and he executed my tribal tattoo with much care, detail and attention to authenticity. I learned a lot from him and I am very happy that I was able to trust his artistry and experience. His free-hand art is fantastic. The staff in general create a nice, friendly and fun vibe that helps you relax throughout the process. They seem to be artists with integrity and kindness. Truly thrilled with my tattoo! read more

I recently went to 808 Tattoo in Kaneohe, to get a plumeria tattoo on my forearm by Ama. I am still completely blown away by her attention to detail & fine lines. Ama's ability to create delicate, realistic flowers is out of this world. This was my first tattoo, & I was afraid it would be painful, but I had no problem sitting still for the entire duration of my tattoo. Ama was fast, but gentle. I love plumerias, & even though I live in a state that is cold & dry for half of the year, my husband & I have successfully cared for 27 plumeria trees for many years. They are a big part of our lives & 1 of my greatest passions. Ama listened to what I wanted, representing my children & the stage of life they're in, through the plumerias in my tattoo. She was very attentive. She wanted to know all about my plumerias, & asked me to send her as many pics as I had of my flowers, on my phone. She then used my actual plumeria flowers & leaves to create an absolutely breathtaking tattoo, with perfect shading & delicate line work. Looking at it makes my heart sing! Now, every time I look at my arm, I'm reminded of my wonderful kids & beautiful plumerias, & I can't help but smile. Thank you for the amazing tattoo, Ama! I will definitely be back! read more

Peggy just is one of the most skillful and creative artists out in Honolulu. I came to her looking to, at first cover up my tummy tuck scar. She gave me the low down about how healed it must be or it wouldn't look right may even look warped as time goes on. Well I decided to do the other project I've been itching to do. I have a lower back tattoo already from a long time ago and an arm tattoo that I got a cpl of years back so I wanted to connect it from my upper shoulder going down my back to my lower back but make it look like my lower back was meant to be part of my new tattoo. She suggested putting a bigger flower in the mix so I decided on a flower that grows in Germany (lilies) and the flower of Philippines (jasmine) as this is like my heritage type piece. She was patient with me and took the time to hear me out. We also had a good vibe with chit chat as she was working on my back too. After 4 sessions, my piece was finally done and I made a new friend. Go see Peggy, she will not disappoint. read more

From beginning to end, we had an awesome experience. If you have a child that wants to pierce their ears, I highly recommend Teah. She was professional, patient and kind. Teah ensured that my daughter was happy with placement and really encouraged her to take a really good look at how it was going to be placed before she did the piercing. Teah took her time & explained the procedure as she was working. Everything was sterilized and clean & I appreciated that she let me accompany my daughter during the procedure. Teah provided us with excellent aftercare instructions and made us feel like we could contact her if we had any questions. read more

After so much research, it was a toss up between Priestess Ink, 808 and 2 Thumbs. We went to 808, -but sadly they didn't win our hearts. I say this because their communication method (texting) was unclear. They need to clarify "town" means Honolulu location and not the other, maybe they thought I was local and automatically thought I'd know. I had to drive to the other location (it's almost an hour away). The other reason Im giving 808 only 3 stars is the payment method, they wanted me to Venmo the down payment ($100 per person) which is fine but the fact that you may never see your $ again, (what if they accidentally sent you the wrong handler???) it's quite unsettling especially if your booking for several people. The artist are Super Sweet tho, and I would give it another star if they didn't charge us on the higher end which I also get bc things are so expensive these days. But, I have to keep it honest, plain 3 black tats with hardly any shading and no color between 2-6 inches, -not for over $700. read more

I've had a tattoo consultation with Billy as well as a few sessions of laser removal as I prepare for my coverup. The staff has always been great to deal with and this shop is ALWAYS crowded. Although laser removal isn't a very enjoyable procedure, Tory makes it as pleasant as possible with her professionalism and good conversations. If you're wanting laser I would definitely recommend, as well as if you're wanting a good tattoo and you're on the island I'd definitely look into this spot but make sure you're planning ahead because many of the artists have waitlists. read more

Love love love this tattoo shop. Last year I found this gem and artist Megan Jones. I got a half sleeve last year and came back to get it finished this year. I live in Ohio and waited until I could travel across the country to get my piece by this amazing artist. Meeting this woman and talking with her is an inspirational and uplifting experience.
