I do believe that the senior artist does amazing work from what was shown in books and portfolio and I admire that his son is taking in his foot prints but his son Isiahs work was less than satisfying. Really bummed that I decided to get my tattoo done there. Now I have to find another artist to fix up the mistakes. I'll post the pics of what we wanted and what we got... On another note I was told the derm film would protect my tattoo. Well it seems he forgot to put the moisture before the film so it ripped off a lot of my tattoo. Really bummed.

When we called to make an appointment they didn't take down our names (red flag number one) and when we got to the shop no one remembered taking our call of setting up the appointment with us. I was charged $100 for honestly the worst tattoo I've ever gotten, that the artist spent 3 minutes and 15 seconds on (the iPad connected to the tattoo gun counts how long they spend on the tattoo). I'll let the picture of my tattoo speak for itself. It's honestly super simple line work that an amateur could have done better and now I'm stuck with what looks like a janky prison tattoo. Lesson learned, we won't return. Also it's only been a little over two weeks and look how much ink has fallen out.

Ironbridge Tattoo is a newly-opened tattoo shop in Kapaa. Nestled at the foot of the mountains in a quiet and serene area, the shop has a comfortable, personable, and welcoming vibe. I checked out a couple other tattoo shops in the area but Matt's portfolio stood out to me. Before tattooing, he consulted with me and I showed him the design I wanted. It was my first tattoo, so naturally I was nervous but his attention for my design and his natural confidence put me at ease. The day of my appointment I walked in and he showed me his sketch, made a few tweaks based on my feedback, and then the tattooing began! I really appreciated Matt's attention for the design and making sure I got exactly what I wanted. Tattoos are permanent as we all know, so having a sensitive tattoo artist who actually cares means a lot. More than anything, I felt like Matt helped me relax. His touch was gentle and completely focused. I felt the pride he takes in his work and that he was not just doing a job that I wanted, but was creating art of his own too. The tattooing process itself felt like a co-creation, and that is part of what made it an enjoyable and memorable experience for me. Matt is a very focused and detailed artist. His energy is calm, warm, and relaxing, and he is someone I would recommend others to without hesitation. I will definitely be going here again to get my next tattoos. read more

I highly recommend Ironbridge Tattoo. The shop is clean, beautiful and in a good location with lots of parking. I've had tattoos by a couple of other shops on island and for various reasons would not want to go back to them. I will be visiting Matt quite a few more times in the future most definitely! After looking at a few pics of ideas I had and talking about what I wanted, Matt gave me a beautiful, unique design and I could not be any happier. Right from his first prompt email response, I could tell that Matt was very respectful and willing to work with me. He is kind, professional, enthusiastic and a talented artist, on paper and skin!! Some shops on island can be somewhat intimidating to walk into but Matt and Koby have created a peaceful space that is very welcoming to all. Both young men are genuinely nice and you can tell that they are putting their heart and soul into their business. So happy I found this awesome tattoo shop!! Big Mahalo's Matt!! read more

The boys at Ironbridge are incredible. Kobi does amazing Japanese-style and black & grey tattoos, Evan does the most beautiful realism, and Matt has a unique style and color palette that's iconic and all his own. If you give these guys a concept or prompt they will use their creativity and work with you to make something that exceeds your expectations, no matter how big or small the project is. In addition to their powerhouse of talent, they are the coolest dudes! They are both professional and lots of fun, giving you a comfortable and clean experience while offering great conversation and a constant laughs. The majority of the pieces in my collection are from Ironbridge and it's incredible how having tattoos you love given to you by people you respect can improve your self image and help you love yourself more! I can't recommend this place enough! read more

Got my tattoo done this morning by Kobi and honestly can't even put into words how great of an experience it was. It was my first tattoo, so I had no idea what to expect but from the moment we started chatting I knew Kobi was going to kill it. Safe to say, the art looked way better than I could imagine (he actually convinced me to go from doing just an outline to adding scenery and I'm so glad he did. Overall, the shop was SUPER CLEAN, it didn't even resemble your stereotypical tattoo parlor. Price was more than reasonable for the incredible experience. If you are ever in Kaua'i and looking to get a 10\10 experience, this is the place to go. read more

Had Koby add to my sleeve. He is a gifted artist! While getting tattooed always means some level of discomfort, Koby's ability and light hand makes the experience better. I consulted with Koby via phone and e-mail prior to my visit to the island. I found him to be attentive, responsive and he took his time to listen to my ideas. After exchanging phone calls and e-mails I scheduled a session and I'm happy with my newest addition. He is one of the best! read more

Matt Hoyme is a super nice guy and talented artist. He tattooed my husband and myself for commemorative island/anniversary tattoo. We showed up unannounced looking for an artist and a opening, and he fit us in before we left the island. He listened attentively to what we wanted and came up with a sweet design. Nice clean and comfortable shop too. read more

All I will say is he was incredibly shaky. It made me so nervous and uncomfortable. I was scared he was going to screw it up so badly. My tattoo consisted of multiple dots, and they aren't perfect or even circular. He had to stop right as he started because he needed water. I almost started crying because I was not comfortable with the process. I don't know how well he'd do on a more complicated design, but I would probably not come back given the chance, even if it was free. Just putting that out there.
