So I got inked by Ronson and I was not disappointed. I had…read morecalled when they opened to see if they would take a walk-in and ronson was able to take me for a small to medium size tattoo. Ronson was friendly and honest. He finished a small part of my existing tribal work done. And I'd say I'm more happy and with the work he had done then my previous artist. He really knowledgeable about different styles of tribal art and even Filipino tribal. Just give him a call and schedule a appointment for your tribal. He did some snake skin pattern in between my bands and free-styled the rest of the blank spaces in my left sleeve. Also cash preferred. Mahalo plenty ronson!

All I have to say is WOW! This is my cousins first shop that he opened up in Hilo. It is located…read moredown the road from McDonalds and right next L&L. Can't miss it if your in Hilo. They have their own parking which has quite a few stalls. Definately love the set up inside and is shop is set up just like what he's known for TRIBAL TATTOOS! Pictures hanging on the walls etc. They have a good selection of talented artists here. Very warm and welcoming local style with a little twist. The shop is very clean and has its own bathroom inside of it. Mirros all around just how I like it. They also have up to date books with their artwork/tattoos in it from their various artists. They also have a piercer, I'm not sure if they have more than one but when I went they only had this one guy doing them. The prices vary with every artists and every piece of artwork that you want to put on your body but if your a hustlah do your thang boo boo. LOL &Even though my cousin did not tattoo me one of his other workers did I think his name was John? My bad I'm bad at names. He did an excellent job on me! He gave me a diamond on the middle of my chest and more than happy with it. I'm more of a on the whim type of chick, I didn't even see any of his work but my cousin reassured me so I was like duh give it to me! haha I love it here and definately will come back for more tattoos and good company when I go back to the Big Island. Not only because I'm related because they do give good service and their tattoos from all of their artists are amazing! 5 STARS! ;) & Drop my name if you like. LMAO they'll probally have a good laugh hahaha Oh ya and before I forget *Number one thing at tatoo places tho. TIP YOUR ARTIST! lol okay, now go get blasted! (^___^)

When we got to Tattoo Valor in the morning, Pak already had my tattoo drawn up for me, and was ready to go! He did an amazing job with the details of the flowers and the vines and got the colors and shading spot on to what I was asking for! I am so glad that Pak did my Hawaiian vacation tattoo! The experience was amazing and now I have a beautiful tattoo to remind me of these beautiful islands!

Artist was pleasant, and the work was very nice, but the price was waaaaaaay high…read more The piece I got was worth maybe $250 on the high end, tops...it only took 2 hours, was not super complicated, and was not color. Anywhere else, I think you're looking at $150-250. I say this from experience, I've been tattooed 12 times by some very talented artists. My bill at the end of the session? $500 + tax. I almost fell over. Again, nothing against the artist or the shop...the guy was chill, the work was good...but you will pay way higher prices for your ink here than you should.
