Walked In hoping to get something small and memorable last minute. We were greeted by an artist named Shawn, he was friendly and informed me on what was achievable and realistic instead of just going along with everything I wanted and I'm so happy he did. His input was valuable and I love how it turned out ! He was incredibly sanitary, fast, skilled and just an all around nice guy! read more

Btw, I left this review and didn't come back to check after the last update. But turns out the "business manager" had edited his initial comment which I'm assuming it was because his response was aggressive and narcissistic. Calling me a "Karen" for his company's lack of communication. Anyways, hope this helps people when looking for a tattoo shop. read more

I usually get my tattoos in Maui. But due to COVID, hard to get over there. So we yelped this place, and so glad I did. Actually, I didn't pull this up in a search. I requested an appointment at a different location and Yelp sent my request to several tattoo shops. Aloha Tattoo was the first to respond. So I went with them. Natalie hit me up via text. Very cool. Very personable. From the text conversation we had, she listened to every single thing I said I was looking for. We made the appointment and then she reached out again to confirm. Very professional. Upon arriving I was greeted very nicely. The shop is easy to find. Decent parking. The shop is clean. And the staff is is friendly. I used some numbing cream that wore off rather quickly. I am not a fan of pain. And Natalie was very understanding as well as accommodating my pathetic self. Lol. She let me break and breath when I needed to. She talked to me a little during the session to help ease my mind. She even rooted me on and motivated me to finish. Lol. I am very pleased with my tattoo. It looks great. I'll update with finished pics later after it heals. And as far as pricing, my tattoo was very reasonably priced. Next time I'm out this way, I'll def be getting my tattoo here again. And hopefully with Natalie. Mahalo! read more

Aloha Tattoo Company - Tattoo Near Me - Kailua, Hawaii

I have gotten 2 tattoos from here over four years. My cumulative experience is 5 stars. The experience itself was awesome. Artists and shop manager are all chill, put on good tunes to get the good vibes going, and the product itself turned out solid. I did have one snafu for my first one regarding my appointment (they hadn't logged me in so I actually had to wait until my next Hawaii visit to get my tat). That was back in 2015. It's 2019 now and had a 5-star experience, will definitely be back read more

Absolutely wonderful! Amazing artists and very friendly staff!! Needed a Hawaiian tattoo for our family vacation and my artist definitely killed it!!! Couldn't be happier! Thank you for such a beautiful, wonderful memory to keep with me forever!!! Won't ever forget my time here in Waikiki!!! read more

Aloha Tattoo Company - Tattoo Near Me - Kailua, Hawaii

I went in for a belly button piercing. They got the needle through but then we're unable to get the piercing through the second hole of my skin. After a couple minutes of her poking through my skin and unable to do it. She had to ask for help from another one of the piercers who spent another 5 minutes poking through my skin. After a lot of pain and no one talking me through what was happening, They finally got the piercing through my skin. It seemed extremely unprofessional. Would recommend elsewhere for piercing.

Good! Very accommodating! Just a bit pushy with tattoo sizing. I wanted smaller but they insisted it would be better bigger almost as if it wasn't possible smaller. I think it's just opinion though! Definitely ask for exactly what you want. They were great! Natalie was so nice and easy to work with! Also one of the very few tattoo places that take walk ins! Very happy with tattoo! read more

Came in for a walk in spur of the moment tattoo before leaving the island. The guy that did my tattoo was nice, clean and he finished quickly! $100 minimum seemed a lot for a small tattoo but wasn't upset about the price. Totally loved my tattoo until it healed and noticed that some of the tattoo is missing. Very sad that this happened since it is so noticeable now. read more

Honestly...this place sucked. Awful communication between the owner (who is not physically at the shop) and shop staff. Receptionist started an argument in the first 30 seconds of being there. Don't waste your time! *Update* As you can see by the response below- the staff are a real joy to work with! read more

Just received my first (2) tattoos today from Gabi. I'm super happy with how they turned out! When I called to set up an appointment, Tim was extremely nice and he gave me a good estimate on how expensive my tattoo would be. He also told me that I could just walk in since the tattoo that I wanted was so small. Tim drew up the design I had in mind, and although I didn't have him as my actual artist, the process went very smoothly. The pain was there, but it wasn't unbearable. I did sweat a lot though. After Gabi was done with the UFO on my ankle, I asked her if she could do a small semicolon on the back of my arm. She happily agreed, quickly getting it done freehand. Gabi was super nice, reassuring, and informative about the aftercare. I also got a great price for the two tattoos. No rip-offs here. I had a great first experience. I'll definitely be back sooner rather than later (sorry Dad). read more

Lovely shop, however none of the staff was wearing masks and I felt as if no Covid protocols were put in place to keep customers safe. Covid aside, I got a nose piercing and the process was super quick and easy. The staff did a fantastic job on making sure I knew what was happening at all times and I was in and out within 10 minutes! A little pricey but I cant complain since everything is more expensive in hawaii read more

Tim was great! My husband and I wanted to get matching tattoos on a whim while on vacation. Tim responded to me over Yelp within minutes. And we showed up to his shop within 2 hours. I let him know what I wanted, how big I wanted it and my budget. He worked with us and delivered everything we wanted. Everything was clean and comfortable. Thank you Tim! read more

Aloha Tattoo Company - Single needle 'ohana script by Tim. (Still has the steriderm on it) - Tattoo Near Me - Kailua, Hawaii

Me and my sister went in to get our septum's pierced and when we went in the guy was super confident so we felt comfortable, he pierced both of them super low and I think it went through my cartledge. He didn't give any care instructions and when we went to a more professional piercer they said the gage size of the jewelry was too small and we would need to stretch it for a regular size piercing so I just took it out and let it heal then got a new one. The experience of getting it done actually professionally was a lot different and it healed a lot faster. I should've done more research on the piercer before getting it I just wouldn't recommend that shop if you wanted a septum. read more

We found this place here on yelp. First time in Hawaii. Great reviews, amazing work. Decided to go in and see for ourselves. Staff was great.

Tim drew up the palm, and I wanted a little fuller so I dig added to it. Sorry if I spell his name wrong but isiah is who tatted us. He was great and it was exactly what we wanted. Thanks guys.

Aloha Tattoo Company - I was bleeding a lot. But it came out great. - Tattoo Near Me - Kailua, Hawaii

Went in as walk-in with two other friends. Initial reaction, very clean, spacious. Got to meet several of the artist and they were all friendly, and inviting. Place had a good vibe, felt comfortable, had a few laughs. Answered any questions we had without making us feel judged. They were able to create exactly what we were imagining for our tattoos. My tattoo artist was Gabe, there are no words for how amazingly talented she is. Her artwork left me in awe. My friend got a cover-up tattoo, her artist did an amazing job, exceeded what we imagined. Definitely recommend this place, and will be coming back for more. read more

We always come here to see Mike our friend and an excellent artist. He has known my hubs since CA and we are excited he is here in Hawaii. The shop is nice and clean and everyone is always friendly. Mike does an awesome job tattooing my hubs and I. He redid my hubs sleeve and he did my thigh peice and it came out amazing. I sent my friend there after hearing her say she wanted flowers and knew Mike would be perfect. Her tattoo came out amazing. We are still sending everyone down to see Mike there. read more

So far, super awesome. Walked in on Tuesday to get a floral tattoo on my arms and I got something drawn up that was beautiful super quickly! And they suggested better placement than I had in mind so I'm pretty pumped about that too. Because my tattoo was $300, I got 300 points in their system, which means I get two free piercings (they have other rewards too, but I'm into the piercing option). Today I walked in with a pile of pictures asking if someone could mesh them all into a super awesome skull and peony looking tattoo for my upper arm. They were all very nice and offered to draw something up and set up an appointment for tomorrow at 3. Perfect timing and I get my piercings too. Definitely a fan. Plus a burrito joint next door. Only thing that threw me off was cash only business, but hey, I ain't mad. UPDATE: I now have two new piercings, a new nose ring, and a baller tattoo. Couldn't be happier! read more

Came out in a hurricane to help me! Great shop! My first visit I got two body piercings repierced. The shop and piercing room were clean, the piercer was patient and professional. My second visit was during Hurricane Douglas. A ball came off of the barbell of one of my piercings. No one was at the shop but the shop's number forwards to the owner's (Tim) cell phone. I explained my situation and he came and met me at the shop. He changed my jewelry for me as I felt like my original barbell the shop gave me was too short for my body. So he gave me a new barbell and gave me extra balls for free (of course I tipped though, always tip). Tim saved my piercing form closing up and saved me from having to get pierced a third time! read more

I came in today after trying to change out my septum ring on my own and failing to do so. The staff were super friendly and were able to help me out very quickly even though they were having a busy day. Tim was able to get my new jewelry in and it was no easy task (he basically had to re-pierce me). He did all of this free of charge after I insisted that I pay him for his troubles. I highly recommend coming here for any piercing change outs. Thank you so much guys! read more
