With a laid back atmosphere, you can tell they are in it for the art rather than just cranking out a ton of sea turtles for tourists (unless that's what you want in which case they can do that, too!)

I booked a time for one of the last days with Vayda about two months before my trip. Communication was always easy and she was reassuring that we would come up with something to memorialize my special pup that had recently passed. Once I was on the island, we met up for a consult to touch base and finalize some details. Vayda was super nice, great steady hand, and quick as well! She even spent time sharing a homemade oatmeal soap recipe to help with the irritation from the soap I had been using. She truly went above and beyond for me and I can't be more thankful. I obviously highly recommend Rise Above Ink. The owner, Shiloh and his daughter both were just as pleasant. This place is gold, come see for yourself!

Eek. I don't know how to leave this review because I feel bad…read more I came in to get a tattoo when I was on vacation. It was a very simple design that any experienced artist would do in a breeze. 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. I know a bad review can affect business, but I do not recommend :(

I got a hibiscus flower that Brian did awesome color work on and he took the time during the process to make suggestions and ask for my opinion about how I wanted the coloring done.

This was my 7th tattoo and my husbands 20th so we're well versed in what a good tattoo entails and both are extremely happy with the results! Great work at a very reasonable price! Highly recommended!!! Thanks Brian!!

This is a tattoo and piercing studio! You don't get that vibe walking by or peeking in. Although…read moreI live in the area I had never been here before. And frankly had never considered getting a tattoo from this business. A series of events (storm, cancelled flight, worries about bridge closure) put me in Hanalei when I should have been on Oahu. Not wanting to miss a Friday the 13 tattoo I decided to give The Libra Club a go. Everyone that works here is a gorgeous young woman. I mean stunning. I can only imagine the screening and hiring is a vigorous process. The vibe is way more upscale salon than tattoo. Especially the waiting area. No flash on the walls. A few nods to tattoo culture but it is very tastefully appointed. The actual tattooing and piercing are done in the back in a bright white space. Super clean. Not cramped. This was a special event so you first have to put your name on a list using a QR code. That was something new and a bit awkward. I was here first (20 minutes waiting outside before the next person showed up) but when the doors opened everyone on line could scan in. I was racing to get on the list and would have been very pissed if I hadn't been successful at rating first. Yes - it was a very organized way of doing things...but it has the potential of being unfair. Just saying. Most all of the flash was fine line stuff...mostly cute and dainty. Not particularly my style but I found something I liked. My tattooer, Shaula (apologies if I misspelled your name), was sweet and professional and the tattoo was practically done before I even knew it started. It was over all a really relaxing experience. I would return. The best part is I didn't break my streak of getting tattooed on every Friday the 13! Thank you Libra Club! Would have been 5 stars but the waitlist process gave me some nervous energy.
