I have been going to Pride Ink for years now and Boze always blows my mind with his amazing work. He is also a great guy who never makes u feel rushed or unappreciated. I will be returning for years to come. He is definitely the best in Maui and in my opinion the best anywhere for the tattoo styles I like ! read more

I had amazing experiences with both of my tattoos by Boze. Today he added a Lokelani Rose to the hibiscus tattoo he did for me last year. From start to finish, Boze was incredibly professional and friendly. He took the time to listen to what I wanted, offered great suggestions, and made sure every detail was perfect. The final piece turned out even better than I imagined -- the shading and line work are absolutely stunning. If you're looking for an artist who's both talented and easy to work with, I highly recommend Boze. read more

Pride Ink Tattoo - Tattoo Near Me - Kahului, Hawaii

Boze is phenomenal. I've been coming to him every year for close to 10 years at this point when we come to Maui on vacation, and he's added more and more to the extensive free-hand Polynesian artwork I have throughout my body (he puts up with my constant neuroticism!). He's professional, fun to hang out with, and a true artist. As a plastic surgeon, I'm always attuned to aesthetics and technicality--he is truly gifted in these aspects. I've gone to several other artists before, and he is leagues above them! read more

Boze was awesome! Worked around our vacation schedule so we could enjoy the water as much as possible. He works fast, just a few hours for the 2 of us together. Freehand work was beyond our expectations. Wouldn't hesitate to schedule more time with him next time we're on the island. read more

Pride Ink Tattoo - Matching his and her manta tattoos - Tattoo Near Me - Kahului, Hawaii

My wife and I visited Maui a few weeks ago and got tattoos from Boze and we absolutely love them. We contacted him about a month before our trip after seeing his work and deciding his style matched what we wanted. He was able to accommodate the dates for our trip to get us in near the end. We gave him a few elements we wanted included and he was able to incorporate them better than I ever imagined. This was my first tattoo, but I would definitely go back and get another one from him! read more

Boze is a very talented artist! And a smart business man at that for moving from Kahului to Lahaina since Lahaina area is more busy and attracts more customers. Especially cause it's a tourist area as well. My boyfriend and I were in Maui for a week and he was able to accommodate us by having a quick consult and then locking a time for us the day before we leave. We told him our ideas and our price range and he was able to work with us and we love our pieces! The other gentleman that works here is good too! Didn't personally have him yet but at our visits I seen him do a couple tattoos for his clients and they looked great. Def recommend Pride Ink and I'll def be back to for next sessions! read more

This review is for the tattoo artist, Thomas. A very professional and talented artist that puts quality works of art on your skin. His knowledge for his craft and the consistency of his work will eventually propel him to be one of the best Polynesian tattoo artists in the world (he's still kind of young, haha). The intricacy, creativity, and attention to detail of the flow of lines are phenomenal. His work is a reflection of his teacher, & owner of this shop, Boze. He was very easy to contact, via text.. it only took a few days before each visit to schedule an appointment. Don't second guess yourself if you're looking for a quality tattoo shop. This is the best of the best! read more

Boze is the man. I can't imagine allowing anyone else to tattoo me or my wife. His line work is amazing. His tattoos are simple and clean while remaining complex. His tattoos WILL tell your story. We got married this weekend in Maui & I wanted a turtle tattoo that represented us. We normally use puzzle pieces that represents each other as the missing piece in the others life. I sent Boze a picture of what I "thought" I wanted. Boze took what I wanted and gave me way more than I asked for or even knew what I wanted in a piece. He took my idea and just ran with it. My tattoo from Boze is the best piece I have. He included the wedding lei in his design. He even made room for the wedding date in Roman numerals. My wife wanted a tattoo that represented our trip also. She wanted a foot tattoo. Again...Boze took her idea and made it way better. And the pain was NO WHERE NEAR what she thought it would be.l due to his light touch. If you are looking for a tattoo ARTIST who will actually CONSULT with you versus giving you a tattoo sticker, Boze is your guy. Don't waste your time bounce around from shop to shop, looking at books after books of tattoos. This dude kept us both from walking away with a mediocre tattoo at best. Don't take my word for it. Just look at my pics. read more

Boze Kapoi and Pride Ink are incredible. When my husband Tony and I were in Maui this past July, Tony decided that he wanted to have a large special tribute tattoo to my mother done on his upper arm. It needed to incorporate both my mother's namesake symbol (the crane) and traditional Polynesian design. Originally we had setup an appointment at another tattoo establishment on Front Street (across from the Banyan Tree) that Tony was familiar with, but the tattoo artist there completely flaked out on us at the last moment. It was late in the afternoon on our last day in Maui and Tony really wanted to have the tattoo done. What to do? We had noticed Pride Ink previously when we parked our car and walked into the studio to check out their portfolio and see if we could have the tattoo done. The tattoo artist there was busy doing some incredible Polynesian ink on a client and when we asked if they had any availability he told us the owner had left to go home (on the other side of the island), but that he could call and see if he might come back. We said "yes please!" It turned out that when he received the call, Boze had just pulled into his driveway at home, but made the 45 minute trip back to Lahaina to work on Tony's tattoo when he heard it was our last day, that the other studio had flaked out on us and the significance of the tattoo. When Boze arrived back at the studio we consulted with him and showed him a very simple pen and ink concept of what we wanted. Bose turned our "outline" into an amazingly beautiful piece of art. My mother would have been amazed and honored to see her namesake as the stunning Polynesian crane it materialized as under Boze's artisanship. And not only did Boze create a beautiful tattoo but he was able to completely camouflage a small old tattoo on Tony's arm. We were (and continue to be) ecstatic about the service we received and the beautiful outcome of the tattoo. In conclusion, we cannot recommend Boze and Pride Ink highly enough, and Tony is looking forward to having more work done when we return to Maui. read more

My wife and I made a last minute request for our tattoos and Boze made it happen. I could be happier with his meticulous work and detail. We walked around Lahaina and a couple of people couldn't believe the detail. Here's proof! If you want an artist who can deliver don't delay and go to Pride Ink! Thanks again Boze! See you again next year! read more

Pride Ink Tattoo - Tattoo Near Me - Kahului, Hawaii

My husband and I decided to get a tattoo on our honeymoon stay in Maui. The hotel we stayed recommend pride ink and more specifically Boze Kapoi. Knowing that the chance of us getting a tattoo from the owner of the shop was pretty slim, but we took a chance and walked into the shop. When we stepped foot into the shop, it had such a chill and welcoming feel. Boze was very friendly and humble. After looking at a few photos we asked Boze if it was possible to accommodate the tattoos that very moment.. Without hesitation, he said yeah! He incorporated everything that we wanted into our tattoos and was so down to earth, he made getting the tattoos so worth every penny! Truly honored to get inked by a person so passionate about his work and cares so much about his customers! I hope he decide to open up a shop somewhere in Cali! read more

My experience for Pride Ink was amazing! Glad that I went to this place over the other shops that are on this island. The person who tatted me was Jacob. He was excellent! He is a very talented professional and artist. He puts a lot of detail and time into his work. His lines and attention to detail are beyond amazing. His freehand flows and it truly shows in his work. You definitely won't be disappointed. The shop overall is clean and spacious. You can find Polynesian artwork posted all over the shop. Pride Ink, in my opinion is the best spot for all of your Polynesian needs! Don't hesitate to go!!! read more

My experience with Pride Ink and Boze Kapoi was absolutely fantastic, really doesn't get better than this. I wanted a traditional piece behind my ear and down my neck done and I put all my trust into Boze with only minimal input in the design; the results were 10x better than what I had imagined. His artistry is unparalleled and he nailed what I wanted, spot on and then some. I can't wait to get back to Maui to have him do more!! read more

Boze is an amazing artist - trust him to use the contours of your body to create a work of art you will love.

This is my second tattoo from David "Boze" Kapoi and I already can't wait to get another one. I emailed Boze about 1 month ago with a general Idea of the tattoo that I was hoping to get. I wanted a Koi fish, but with a polynesian twist to it. Boze sent me a few pictures of his sketches for the tattoo in the next few weeks. When I went in for my appointment and saw the final sketch I was beyond excited. Boze is extremely professional and made sure I was 100% sure with every detail and placement of the tattoo. The tattoo it self took just over 3 hours and Boze constantly checked to see if I was doing alright or if I needed to take a break. When he was done, I was completely blown away by the result!!! The tattoo came out better than I could have ever imagined. The intricate detail and shading is absolutely amazing!!! It is very apparent that Boze loves what he does and passion for tattooing is obvious through the detail and thought he puts in every tattoo. If you want to get an amazing polynesian style tattoo and happen to be on Maui, I would HIGHLY suggest going to Pride Ink and see Boze!!! read more
