Well let's just face facts here. The dude is brilliant. I come from Tattoo town Santa Cruz. My friends are artists and very judgemental. They all gave praise for his clean crisp lines and overall placement he suggested and the reasons why. I came with a list of questions from them since none of them would be doing the work themselves. Bro hit it out of the ballpark. I felt comfortable in his confidence through his line of questions and suggestions. He spent time getting the art right before the needle ever touched me. He understood what I wanted and made sure that our vision was executed precisely. He was comfortable to be around totally chill dude. passionate about his wife,art and life.not sure if it's in that order because it seems to be all the same to him. Loved that tattooing to him seemed as natural as breathing. I was impressed with his prices and quality I got more bang for my buck than expected. It was right next to an cool restaurant with live music I went to after the appointment was done turned out it was his in laws place. It was an overall great experience with Santiago and kick ass vibe to the location. VIVA LA VIDA!!! read more

During my vacation to Kauai, I decided to get a tattoo and found my way to Aloha Moon Tattoo. From the moment I walked in, Santiago, the owner and talented artist, provided an exceptional experience. He was transparent and efficient, offering a clear and reasonable quote immediately. Santiago quickly sketched out the design I had envisioned, perfectly capturing my idea with remarkable precision. The tattoo session itself was swift, yet the quality of his work was nothing short of extraordinary. I left the shop with a piece of art that exceeded my expectations and will always remind me of my time on the island. The shop's atmosphere added to the experience - from the great playlist (including a fantastic track from Santiago's own band!) to his adorable dog Moochi, who added a welcoming and personal touch. Aloha Moon Tattoo and Santiago delivered an unforgettable experience, and I couldn't recommend them more. If you're in Kauai and looking for top-notch artistry and a memorable tattoo session, this is the place to go. Thank you, Santiago! read more

I contacted Santiago a few days before to discuss my tattoo. I had just landed a Striped Marlin and wanted a tat to signify the once in a lifetime event. We went over details and collaborated on design and colors. We looked at numerous images and color schemes. When I arrived at the studio Santiago had the pattern we chose in multiple sizes and all the required colors to the ready. We chose the size and he went to work. All done and it came out beautiful. And,, it was painless!!! I am so glad I went to Aloha Moon, good vibes. Santiago and I hit it off and will be good friends for life. Next trip I will get the "Drop in Angel" we were collaborating on.... Aloha and Mahalo! Ken read more

I Had a great experience at Aloha Moon Tattoo! Sonny is a super professional & knowledgeable artist both in the realm of tattoo artistry & fine art as well. I know his oil painting work well & trusted i was in excellent hands with his long-time experience in the art & tattoo world. Sonny listened to my vision and was able to sketch out what i was imagining perfectly. I was nervous but i felt super calm in there- the tattoo space is comfortable, nice/ clean, mellow and inviting. The location is great - it's right in Kapaa by the north end of town, literally steps from the beach. Thanks Sonny for my awesome piece. I'll definitely be back for more! read more

I was wary of going somewhere that had no reviews, but my fears were unwarranted. The service was phenomenal. The artist worked with me to design an original tattoo and it turned out epic, the way he took my ideas and translated it into an artistic piece was truly remarkable. The tattoo process itself was great and Sonny was a really down to earth dude and made sure I was comfortable during the whole process. The shop itself is adorable and right next to the beach as well so it made for a very relaxing atmosphere. All in all 5/5! read more

Very talented artist and tattoo artist. Professional designs, very clean, comfortable environment. Small studio by appointment only,but will not be disappointed! He helped put my ideas on paper as well as added good feedback in the design for my back piece. Although not finished quite yet I'm extremely happy to how everything is tying together and look forward to our next design. Highly recommend. Just remember great work takes time and is worth paying for the right artist! read more

Had such a great experience at Alpha Moon Tattoo in Kapaʻa. Super chill vibe, really welcoming from the moment I walked in. The artist actually took time to listen and made sure the design felt right instead of rushing anything. Clean shop, good energy, and the tattoo came out even better than I imagined. Definitely a spot I'd go back to and recommend to anyone visiting or living on Kauai. read more

Holy cannoli! We lucked out booking tattoo time last minute and let me tell you.... he came through. Santiago is a artist at heart and worked passionately on my Hibiscus and frog tattoo. Before, during, and afterwards, he kept everything sterile! Highly recommend going to his spot in downtown Ka'paa! Also his wife is a sweetheart and has her own business as a massage therapist!!!! read more

My boyfriend and I each got tattoos here as forever souvenirs from our trip to Kauai! Sonny, was incredible. He was quick to respond, draw up our designs exactly to our liking, quote us a price, and fit us in just before our trip ended. The atmosphere of his shop is relaxing, quiet, and right near the beach. We would definitely return if we ever find ourselves in Kauai again! read more

With Sonny's artistic eye, excellent listening skills and gentle hand, receiving a tattoo from him was everything I could ask for. He took his time to be sure to capture my vision and once we had the design it was on my body in no time at all. I'm a baby when it comes to pain and I swear it barely hurt! I will definitely have Sonny tattoo more pretty art on my body. read more

I thought I'd follow up with you about the condition of my tattoo, I just removed the derma shield and cannot believe the quality of the healing after just four days. Why is this not a standard in the Tattoo community? Anyway, great job...as you know I have a lot of tattoos and this was my best overall experience when factoring in healing!! read more

My wife and I each got a small tattoo during our last day on the island, and Santiago was great. I scheduled the appointments the week prior which was extremely easy, and he did great work for both of us. The shop has a great vibe and it was an awesome experience all around. Thanks again. read more
