    Darren was the person who did my back piece tattoo! Very professional and did what I wanted. He even gave me ideas along the way which I agreed on. I still have one more session to go but I'm already satisfied with what I got. I probably had to go 4 sessions to finish my whole back piece but it was well worth the pain. If you ever in the area and need a tattoo done. Check out Darren and tell him I sent you. He'll take good care of you I promise. I'll probably be back to finish my last session and maybe once I start itching I'll definitely see him again to start a chest piece.

    I highly recommend South Side Ink for a professional and fun easy-going experience. Benz and his crew love what they do and Benz has 25 years of experience. The studio is clean and equipment is all state of the art. It had been a long time since I had a tattoo and things have really changed for the better. My tattoo was done in two sessions and I felt practically no pain. The healing protocol was easy and trouble-free. I realize that there are many competitors in the Ewa Beach area, but you will do yourself a favor if you choose South Side Ink. I couldn't be happier with the result.

    Walked to piece my other ear, Tragus. No long wait and was done professionally and quickly. Paid by Venmo and was out the door in less than 30 minutes. Reasonably priced and clean shop.

    I got a small plumeria added to my turtle I got in Maui...

    my tattoos are memories of wonderful Hawaii trips. We went in here with no reservation but we were greeted and went right into consultation and got tattoos on two of us. Very great customer service, friendly and tattoos were perfect! Highly recommended, it's a bit of drive from Waikiki but it was well worth it.

    Made a same day appt with Yahvet. Everything was done through text. I texted him a photo of what I wanted. It was so convenient. He's super nice made me feel really comfortable. I had to take a few breaks and he was so patient with me.. I love my new tattoo with all the intricate details. I highly recommend him. Thank you!

    I live in Kapolei and I passed by this place just off random going to my friends house, she lives in Ewa. It's in the back roads behind of the hospital. You can't miss it. It definitely looks like a cool shop from the outside and you aren't dissapointed when you inside as well. The staff are very professional and I love that their books are displayed as soon as you walk in. My friend wanted to get a fast tattoo and I accompanied her. They charged her $60 for a small piece of lettering. -air conditioning -free parking -atm inside -massage chair -licensed -cute artists -good work -mostly poly, so it looks like -give certificates available -They have a piercer now, lol Yup, all in all I'm rating them 5 stars. :)

    Was on Oahu for the weekend only. Thankfully Yahvet had an opening on our last day of our trip. He was nice enough to come in to work an hour early just so we make it in time for our flight. We love our tattoo. Definitely recommend him.

    Cost about $63. I'm absolutely in LOVE with it!!

    I HIGHLY recommend this place! I came in knowing exactly what I wanted. I didn't make an appointment either but came in thinking I was going to. When we went in we were greeted right away and then my future tattoo artist approached me, sorry I forgot your name :( I told him what I wanted and he said he could do it that day! I was like "woohoo!" And about an hour later, I got my tattoo done! He did exactly what I wanted and where I wanted! I'm absolutely in love with my tattoo! Thanks again!

    it's been a week since i've gotten my nose piercing and its healing up great. I LOVE it.

    Got a nose piercing here couple days ago by Paul super cool guy and very helpful. He's also very patient. The vibes in the shop were great. Hope to get a tattoo as well from here

    I'll admit it: I was a LITTLE wary when my Uber driver dropped me off in the middle of nowhere and walked into what seemed to be a tiny place. But, Darren came up with a big smile on his face and was so gracious, I felt at ease. This is my third tattoo, first one here and it was the best experience! Darren does GREAT work: the line work is superb. Very nice guy...everyone was really nice. Very clean place and Darren was meticulous about keeping everything pristine. Also there was NO REDNESS which my friend says he was very tender with my skin (she's a nurse). If you're on Oahu and want a tattoo, make your way to Ewa Beach and find this place. I'm sure glad I did!!

    Slick Vision Tattoo and Laser Removal

    Laser tattoo removal review - heard about this place on someone's post asking for place…read morerecommendations for laser tattoo removal and slick vision was most recommended, so here we are for laser tattoo removal. Well, first time we went in to go inquire, we just wanted a quote, so the girl at the front helped us. She had to be the messenger and actually text the laser tattoo removal technician. Having the wife remove her exes names off her body lol yeppp, on more than one spot of her body, each side of her neck, big one across her chest, back of her right arm, back of her left calf, and back of left hand. So the girl had to take pictures of all the tattoos, send it over, and got our quote and appointment scheduled. Slick vision is located in Aiea. I went spock em coming down from Aiea heights drive, after eating at Aiea bowl, so it's straight ahead at the bottom of Aiea Heights drive. Parking is in the back where Sushi spot and El Miriachi is. Day of appointment came. We scheduled on a Saturday evening at 5PM. Wife went in, they went in the back. And she came back out in pain. Shout out to Heidi (I think that's her name) for being patient, nice, understanding, and professional. Wife said that she turned in to a cockroach laying on the table. Lol The laser treatment burns. It's basically burning off the tattoos. And still got more sessions to go. You have to let Heidi know if you just trying to lighten it, or completely off. Wife said that it felt worser than getting the tattoo, but faster than getting a tattoo. That's the experience. Got 2, 3, 10 more sessions to go! If you looking for laser tattoo removal, this is the place! Will post pictures of sessions/treatment in updated posts.

    Artist: Richard Corpuz IG: tattoosbycorpuz…read more Requested to do a full right sleeve. Traditional Japanese with requested 3 certain birth flowers and a kabuki mask. Upper half had a design of flowers already but did not like it from another artist. Richard was able to fix it up and look so much better now. Shop very clean and well maintained. Everyone super nice and have good vibes there.
