Got my spine tattoo last week and it was a great experience! I did my research before going to Kamu to get it done. He reached out and we got a consultation scheduled within a couple of days (would've been sooner but I was a bit busy). He listened to my wants and sketched it out first. The thing is, if you don't like the sketch, then he can change some details or have you give suggestions or pic reference of what you want. I sent him an inspo pic of what I wanted, something somewhat dainty and cute without being too bulky and big, and he delivered exactly that! The pricing was great, it's really based on the tattoo details and how big the tattoo is. The placement of this tattoo hurt so frkn much, it's probably just my pain tolerance reducing over the years since it's been a good min since I got a tattoo. The music playlist was banging too! Great conversationalist, definitely recommend Kamu and his line work! read more

Kaydrey's Polynesian Tattoo - Tattoo Near Me - Fife, Washington

Kamu is a great artist all his work is free handed and legit definitely going back to get more work done

Kaydrey drew a beautiful hibiscus flower & outlined in in July. He told me to come back in 4 weeks for shading. That's when my problem started getting follow up. It would be nice if he Kept his appointments or did not overbook himself! I have been trying to get in for my tattoo to be shaded since Sept. finally I got an appointment in December. He canceled 1 hr before. Stating it will be done the next week. I continued to call weekly then last week he finally answered saying he'd lost my number & made apt for today February 4th I showed up to a locked door & another gentleman waiting outside we both had same time appointment. After a few calls & messages he responded that it wasn't going to happen today because he had hurt his arm last night. When do customers deserve a cancellation call/text? Good luck if you go here read more

Kaydrey's Polynesian Tattoo - Flower drawn & outlined by Kaydrey - Tattoo Near Me - Fife, Washington

First, Kamu is a good dude. After sitting with him for over 18 hours, I can attest to how genuine of a person he is. He cares about both the tattoo and the client. He is also agurably one of the best polynesian tattoo artist, anywhere. I follow Polynesian artists along the west coast, the islands, NZ, Aussies, even guys from Texas and Russia - I can't find someone who consistently puts out the extraordinary work like he does. Most of his tatau (tattoo) are freehand and never the same tattoo. He does excellent freehand tribal, color, shading, placement, flow, female tattoos... the guy is amazing at everything. His shop is clean and conveniently located. His prices are in line with every other established tattoo artists in the area. Don't plan on just dropping in for a tattoo, his wait time are weeks or even months. But, there is a reason for that, he is in such high demand people will wait months to get in.... I did and continue to do so. Just be patient, he is well worth the wait. Kamu has done two large tattoos for me over the last year. I plan to go back to him for my chest and leg pieces soon. My wife likes his work so much, she wants to get some ink too. read more

Went in for a traditional Hawaiian style tribal, and left with an amazing piece of art on my arm. Kamu is awesome, he makes you feel like your in your own living room. Not too mention his playlist is HIghly recommended to anyone looking for an awesome tribal tattoo and a great experience. read more

Very clean, friendly & pleasant environment to get tatted at! Love my tattoo & am definitely going back for another one:)

I got my first tattoo yesterday 3/10/17. After weeks of research on tattoos and tattoo artists, I elected to go with my man Kaydrey. That was the best decision ever. Kaydrey is very knowledgeable, has great artistic skills, great attention to detail and is a perfectionist; as well as professional. I would recommend him to anybody!!! They say once you get one, you can't stop. Not sure about that, but if and when I get another...I'll be going to Kaydrey's. read more

For a father's day gift, I wanted my hubby to get our children's name tattooed on his forearm. Through word of mouth (island style of CNN), we met Kamu the artist! He not only did an incredible job, he managed to work with our busy schedule. I know my hubby will definitely come back! Fine detailed, great customer service, and works in a timely manner! read more

I don't recommend this place to anyone unless you want some Polynesian tattoo on you. I went to kaydrey for some flowers tattoo and he ripped me off $300 for 20 Mins outline that he didn't finish and said the next time I come it'll be another $300 for the shading. He keeps telling me to come back and when that day come he would flake out. The tattoo I wanted didn't even look nothing like that the picture he was a piece of shit who was all words told me to come back again on feb 20 2018 and never even hit us up didn't even remind us or nothing! On top of that I even put down $100 deposit that I know for sure I won't get it back because he's a scammer! There's so much more I would say but I'll keep it short and simple kaydrey is a scammer artist who would take advantage of their customers and would rip your ass off if you don't know shit about tattoo! I learn my lesson read more

If you want an authentic Polynesian / Samoan tat in the Northwest, there's no one better than Kaydrey's. Kamu is a fantastic family guy, totally authentic to his craft, and takes excellent care of his customers. The studio specializes in Island art, so if that's your thing, find it in Fife (off I-5 near Tacoma) and get there... I found it worth it. I would really recommend that you let him loose on your skin after giving him an idea of what you want the tattoo to represent... ((vs providing flash art or pre-prepared stuff)... and he wont let you down :) what I liked: #1 The total precision with which he creates his art - including the uncomfortable sharping needle at the end.. just when you think its all over:) and looking at the tattoo later, I can see the thought and dedication he put into it. #2 The "flow" - this is a non-precise art which only a few artists get.. for me this is very important, and Kamu did a great job of translating my verbal instructions to real art... #3 loved the chilled out music, went perfectly well with the Island theme. A small improvement: pls change the overhead lights to 'warm white' fluorescent (2700K) .. more pleasant than 'bright white' when you're staring at the ceiling for a few hours :) I will be back soon :) read more

He did my first tattoo and absolutely killed it! I had been searching for an artist for about 6 months until I decided to go with Kaydrey. I showed him a few pictures of what I really liked and he got my custom hip piece done in about 3.5 hours. Best Polynesian Tattoo on the mainland for sure! Definitely worth the pricing as well! Check out his insta read more

Pure talent! Kamu did an awesome job with my husband's sleeve. I was a bit leary of paying so much money for a sleeve without seeing the artist's work in person but I did some research, read numerous reviews from different Polynesian artist's in the Seattle-Tacoma area and I'm glad I went with my instinct. Kamu is very passionate about his work and he takes the time to listen to the client without making the client feel rushed. My husband and I are highly satisfied with his work. read more

This was one of the Best Experiences that I have had in a long time! He was so nice polite and he treated me with a very high level of respect. Customer Service was 10stars! The art work is Muy Bonita! He is a rising star ! The work that I have is still not complete but I am already getting compliment's....check him out! You will be amazed. read more

Simply put, their isn't a better Polynesian Tattoo Artist that I have found, anywhere. I follow Polynesian artists along the west coast, the islands, NZ, Aussies, even guys from Texas and Russia - you will not find a better tattoo artist that can do it all. He does excellent freehand tribal, color, shading, placement, flow... the guy is amazing at everything. His shop is clean and conveniently located. His prices are in line with every other established tattoo artists in the area. Don't plan on just dropping in for a tattoo, his wait time are weeks or even months.

Custom tattoo work at a great price. After seeing the work Kaydrey did for a friend, I knew I wanted to hit him up. I drove down to his shop, we talked about a cover up piece and I put down a deposit. Kaydrey did an amazing job covering up the first tattoo I ever got. The 4 hours I spent in his shop he made me feel like family. I can't wait to go back for the add on pieces! read more

I went looking for a custom polynesian tribal design and went the route of looking at some of the usual shops when I came across Kaydrey's. I went in and talked to Kamu and was impressed with his approach, knowledge and in general his client service. I gave him a rough design I was looking for and he far exceeded my expectations. He talked me through the meaning of the design and was open to input, which I had little of as again, he far exceeded what I was hoping for, on top of that it's hard to offer any opinion of design to someone who obviously is a master in his craft. On a scale of 1-10 his originality is a 10. Also worth noting these designs are no stencils, these are free hand and well worth it.. On the topic of client service, which I also believe is key to any business getting repeat customers, Kamu is a natural. While I talked to a few other shops, that's all i did and rarely did I get any timely feedback or return calls. Kamu was absolutely great at checking in via text or phone and making sure not only all my questions were answered but I got what I was looking for. Far to often across all businesses, this art is lost however, Kamu is definitely ahead of the pact in this field as well. As for a sterile work environment, Kamu has this side covered. While he's opening a new shop he's only using completely sealed equipment which he physically shows prior to breaking the seals and prior to starting the process. While I can only speak to this piece (which you can see on his FB page dated over the last 2 weeks) I will say he will see me again in the future and I will highly recommend him to any of my friends interested in these designs. Kamu is second to none, master of his craft, great at customer service, and a great family man. read more

My husband and I went here and got a beautiful piece on my thigh. Not only was Kaydrey one of the most kindest people we have met but he truly has a gift! The tattoo is gorgeous and we are looking forward to doing more work both my husband and I . Not only is he professional but he also is very talented and made me feel comfortable as not many places know how to do real tribal. If your looking for top service and top quality tattoos then I would definitely go here ! I felt the real aloha spirit !! Mahalo ~Nanea read more

Kamu is an amazing artist and great to work with. my sister and I came in to get her first tattoo and a addition for myself. He was easy going and helped with tattoo placement of our design and ideas on how I could incorporate the design into my current tattoo. read more

I have had many compliments and friends I have shown say they will visit Kaydreys Polynesian Tattoo next time they want work done. read more
