    Traditional makini mask/helmet by tattoo artist Jimmy Mack.
    Crys A.

    My husband received a tattoo from Jimmy last night. The tattoo itself is all the way awesome, and will help tie the islands to him for the rest of his life. Extreme artistry and integrity went into Jimmy's work. It was very cool watching an artist so deeply in his element, inspired and activated. My husband was so lucky to be in his chair. His tattoo is EXCEPTIONAL. I was born and raised in Hawaii, so was my dad. I know what Aloha spirit is, and I also know that it seems to be more and more spare especially on Oahu, which is unfortunate. Ironic that the highest representation of Aloha for us came from Jimmy himself, not a native to Hawaii but SO pono and SO generous and a walking example of what makes Hawaii so great. He gave extra time, intense skill, wonderful background and a whole lot of heart. Jimmy, thank you for that: you remind me of the Hawaii of my youth, the humility, the hospitality, the harmony and the grace. You are a master in your craft; mahalo to you and your beautiful wife. We will never forget you.

    Custom tattoo by Jimmy Mack of Jimmy Mack Tattoos. This is on the right side of my rib cage, under my breast.

    I got my first tattoo about 5-6 years ago & swore I'd never get another one, that was enough for me. But someone said that tattoos are like potato chips, you can never have just one...and whoever that person was, was a very wise person because within the last few months I started to get that "I need a little more ink" itch. I did my research, looking for someone with a light hand, a master with fine line tattooing, black & grey art & good with organic portraiture since I wanted a photo-realistic dandelion with blowing seeds. In all my research I kept coming back to Jimmy Mack's work. He's an amazingly talented artist, in many media, not just tattooing. So I made my appointment, put down my deposit & came in for my art. Jimmy was the utmost in professionalism & artistry. He had various photos of what I wanted & then free-handed the artwork onto my skin to make sure it flowed with the curvature of my rib cage and breast. When I told him I wanted a bird, all he wanted to know was what kind and he sketched a sparrow straight onto my skin. I'm always deeply impressed at pure talent like that. No stencil, nothing stuck onto my skin, everything drawn by hand so it would fit the curve of my body perfectly. I'm still amazed. The tattooing itself went super smoothly. Jimmy has SUCH a light hand that I hardly bled at all. The only place it REALLY hurt & I wish I'd signed up for an epidural was when he went on the flesh on my "underboob". That hurt like a mother. Other than that, little pinches & scratches. I did most of the talking, mainly to distract myself. I noticed that if I asked him something he'd raise the gun off my skin to answer. I liked that. He didn't want to compromise the integrity of the tattoo by yammering on. I eventually shut up & just tried to look at all the great artwork around (he did it all, btw). So, if you're ever in Haleiwa & either want a memorial tatt, like mine, permanent proof of temporary insanity or a great souvenir of your trip to the North Shore, THIS is the tattoo shop to go to & Jimmy Mack is the artist to see.

    Thanks Jimmy!

    My cousin came down from the mainland and wanted to memoralize her visit with something that signified family so I told her the story of the Honu's (turtles). I had some friends that recommended Jimmy so off we went. Told him what we had in mind, but wanted each on differant, and no flash art! OMG! Genius! Love, love love his work, ink, shop, wife....the whole nine yards. I took all his business cards and passed every single one OUT! I definitely will have him do more!

    This is supposed to be a Plumeria colored in but looks like a bad version of the flower and bad job on the color too

    Im actually shocked from all the positive reviews because this is the first tattoo shop I had to give a negative review for. Maybe I got the wrong tattoo artist. Walked right in and was able to get serviced right away. In hindsight I guess I should be worried when a place isn't busy and there are no customers there because it might indicate that you shouldn't go there either. Anyhow.. My husband and I had just gotten married on the beach and wanted to get matching tattoos of our wedding date on our inner wrist. They're numbers on a wrist. It's cheap, simple, and how hard could it be? Boy was I wrong. I've been to several tattoo shops before and have quite a few tattoos so I know how the process goes and what to expect. James was really nice and talkative and the process was easy but the tattoo ended up horrible. I shouldve seen the signs but he was supposed to be a professional tattoo artist so I trusted him. First we chose the font and told him what date we wanted tattooed on our wrist. He freehanded the design on the paper and said, "Something like this?" which was literally just the date on a sheet of notebook paper. He didn't trace the font from the book or use tattoo paper which is what other shops have done. I thought he was just practicing or showing us an example of what it might look like but his freehand example ended up being what he used to transfer to the actual tattoo. Maybe for custom designs that might be ok to freehand but not for font tattoos because the font was uneven, some numbers were bigger than others and some lines weren't filled out completely. Initially, I could tell he laid his "stencil" down crooked because it was really obvious so he had to remove an redo a few times. It was upside down on my wrist so I couldn't really notice the other items until I looked at it after it was done and it was too late. As a professional tattoo artist, he should have been able to see these things and correct them instead of leaving me with a permanent mistake.

    Just wow!! Jimmy Mack is an AWESOME tattoo artist. My sister-in-law and I had a short amount of time to get our annual matching tattoos. He accommodated us and we now have our tattoos representing our trip to Hawaii. His prices are very reasonable and if we are ever in Hawaii again, we will surely go back.

    My beautiful plumeria by Jimmy.

    I am visiting Hawaii and wanted to get a plumeria tattoo while I'm here. I found Jimmy's shop online... Looked @ his work and saw that his reviews were all stellar. This was my 8th tattoo and I can honestly say that Jimmy has the lightest touch of any artist I've been to. More importantly, my tattoo is absolutely gorgeous! The line work is darn near perfect and the colors are totally vibrant. I love it!!! Plus the shop is clean and inviting and Jimmy is a very sweet and welcoming artist. I highly recommend him. Aloha!

    My Outline Jimmy Mack did today can't wait to see how it looks once it's all colored and finished :)

    First off I want to give Jimmy Mack 5 stars he is working on a half sleeve on my left arm. The first day I went in I was immediately greeted by him & his wife. The shop felt comfortable, clean & welcoming. With his help and me telling him what I wanted he came up with this beautiful design that just blew my mind, it was unique and out right just gorgeous. He has a great personality, easy to talk to, very light handed and you can tell right off that he passionately loves his job. I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting to get a tattoo done here in Hawaii.

    First tattoo and am thankful I came to Jimmy Mack for his amazing skill.

On top of his talent, he's super friendly and easy to talk to, which makes the whole experience that much better. If you're in Haleiwa and thinking about getting a tattoo, Will is definitely the artist to see. Pricing is reasonable and he takes walk ins!

I've had the pleasure of being poked and prodded by her twice and both times have been a pleasant experience, with minimal pain and a quick recovery. I am bummed that she is leaving the island but I am stoked for her new adventures ahead. As far as the shop itself goes, everyone that I have encountered there has chill vibes and are very welcoming and a fun loving bunch. Shop is nice and clean and is in a very convenient part of Haleiwa, across from the McD's and next to a food truck haven. It's unfortunate that it's a journey for me to get there by bus, but perhaps that's a good thing for my wallet LOL.

    I've been getting my eyebrows tattooed since I was 20. I'm 35 now and although I loooove my brows,…read moreI always get complemented on them, recently I stopped liking the shape--especially the ends, which felt too long. So, I decided to try laser tattoo removal. While randomly browsing on Groupon, I came across a deal from Freedom Laser Hair & Tattoo Removal. The reviews, both on Groupon and online, were really positive, so I went ahead and bought the deal for $45 (small area). I had to pay an extra $10 groupon booking fee, but the price itself was so affordable I didn't mind. At my appointment, the technician Emily mentioned I could purchase directly from her in the future, and she'd still honor the Groupon price, which was super kind of her. If you're interested, check if the deal is still available online. The Groupon covers small, medium, and large tattoo removal areas. For my next session, I'll be booking directly through her. This was my first experience with any type of tattoo removal, and I'll admit I was a bit nervous. I'd heard it can be more painful than getting a tattoo. Emily doesn't use numbing cream, but she has a cold air machine that blows over the area while the laser works. It helped a lot, less of a shock than I expected. Since the area was small, I was in and out in about 15 minutes. In terms of pain, I'd say it felt pretty similar to getting the original tattoo. If you've had your brows tattoo and touched up, you know what I mean. (The pain isn't the best) Even after just one session, I noticed a big difference. The pigment lifted way more than I thought it would. I'll probably need one more session since I've had multiple tattoo applications over the years, but I'm already really happy with the results. Huge thank you to Emily--she was amazing! Her online system is super efficient. It sends reminders, outlines policies and procedures, and includes everything you need to know before, during, and after your appointment. She's professional, thorough, and kind. I'll definitely be recommending her to my friends and family for any laser needs, especially tattoo removal. Highly recommend!
