    While in Kona we decided we wanted some new ink! Eastern classics was recommended by several locals. I called them and talked to Chris stopped by we discussed ideas and he was able to get my husband and I scheduled for our last day in Kona. We got exactly what we wanted and a very pleased with our additions. Prices very great also.

    If you're looking for a top quality tattoo artist in Kona, nickel is your girl. Quick response, very detail oriented- she made sure she knew exactly what I wanted before starting (I didn't know exactly what I wanted other than a turtle, she helped with all of the little details- color, placement etc.) , professional & caring (foot tattoos are painful!). She made sure I knew what to expect during healing and aftercare. Great pricing & offers free touch up. I will definitely be back for more ink! (I will post a pic after it heals for final result.) thanks nickel!!!

    Eastern Classics is THE place on the Big Island for tattoos. I went in with my ideas and Avery drew up an excellent design while I waited. And the quality of the tattooing is excellent. It was the shortest healing time I've ever had. I love my work and look forward to going back to getting another piece.

    Chris is the bomb.. come by and check him out. 4 of us came and each had a turtle to represent our trip together. I highly reccomend you vosot him, he is great with the customers and got skilz. Love my new tattoo!

    Anthony did an incredible job on my husband's tattoo. We came in with an idea, and he took the time…read moreto really understand the meaning behind it and elevated the design in a way that made it even more impactful. The line work is super clean, the shading is smooth, and everything is perfectly balanced--especially with the detail in the Ironman symbol and heartbeat line. It looks amazing on his calf and fits the space perfectly. Beyond the artistry, Anthony was professional, easy to talk to, and made the whole experience comfortable from start to finish. You can tell he genuinely cares about his work and his clients. If you're looking for someone who combines skill, creativity, and attention to detail, I can't recommend Anthony enough. We'll definitely be back.

    Joel met us day 1 and helped us fall in love with this shop. He was very friendly and…read moreprofessional. He seemed excited about my daughter's design and encouraged us to send more ideas over the next couple days until our appointment. Oh my goodness, our appointment was fantastic. My daughter asked Joel to put his spin on her angelfish and WOW, incredible. (She ended up getting many compliments everywhere we went as our trip continued.) I was a bit more unsure of my design. Gavinn designed something far better than I could've imagined. I love my fanciful little fish. His fins remind me of flowing material...which coincidentally was my profession. He must be part psychic! I also ended up getting the owner to give me a piercing and purchased some jewelry for existing piercings. This day ended up being a memorable moment with my daughter, that we both cherish. This is by far our favorite tattoo shop! We will return as we already have ideas swirling...

    Time for my first tattoo!! Mid life crisis, hmmm, who knows?!?! Ive always wanted a tattoo, but I…read morecould never think of anything that I'd want to have permanently embedded in my skin. Well now I have it. I know what I want to do. But it seems to me that the design, along with the personalization that I wanted my be a little complicated. I went in to the shop to have a little impromptu consultation. I met Rockwood and his wife Becky. They were both awesome. I brought my concerns to Rockwood's attention and he confidently told me that if he couldn't do it, it couldn't be done!!! The next thing I know, Rockwood has imported my artwork into his iPad, he re-drew (not just traced - redrew) the picture. While I stood there he embedded the writing into the artwork, which he then superimposed onto a picture of my arm so I could get a feel for how it would look on my arm. I was so impressed. He basically completely changed the design I brought him to something amazing and he incorporated the writing into the design. I came in for my appointment and Rockwood and Becky were amazing. Everything was kept clean and sanitary. Rockwood has lots of stories to tell and even had some friends come around to tell me stories about Rockwood. Once the tattoo was done I was so impressed with how clear the lines are and how detailed the design is. When I'm ready for my next tattoo I'm definitely going back to Big Island Tattoo to see Rockwood and Becky.

    Rockwood and Becky were excellent! Rockwood took my old tired tattoos and made them alive again…read more He fixed some mistakes made by a different tattooist and made them look so much better. Becky was great with her communication and scheduling. Choose better than I did at first. Choose Big Island Tattoo!

    Walked in here right after a terrible experience at Lost Coast tattoo and it was the best decision…read moreof the day. The gentlemen here were very friendly and helpful. The whole transaction was smooth and enjoyable. I was able to express my vision and they put it together for me perfectly. It was a simply request and with a little professional guidance and creativity from the artist at hand. I walked away with the biggest smile and the best story. My "Hapa" Cherry Blossom tattoo I am half Japanese and half "white". Hapa is the terminology used for such a mix and I am proud of my heritage. Cherry blossoms are an obvious symbolism for country and culture. Simplistic. Impactful with meaning. I love it. Mahalo!!!!!!

    Make sure to look at the pictures of the horrible job TC did…read more Please, stay away. I rarely write reviews, but I feel it is necessary. You be the judge. I'm working on a full sleeve and this was NOT my first tattoo. TC added ink to my forearm which already had flowers on it. Everything in color was already done. If it is in black TC did it. Hr COMPLETELY messed it up. Look, the lines are crooked and he didn't even keep the shading within the crooked outline. I swear he has never done this before. I don't know about the other artists, but stay away from TC. I tried to contact him about a refund. I live in phoenix and it is not practical for me to fly back to Kona to get it touched up. No, he will not offer me a refund for the amateur work he did. I got the work covered up...but you can see the difference in a quality tattoo and what TC did. Stay away!!!
