    Neil (mistercleantat)
    Celso M.

    Second tattoo here and Neil is a bad ass. Shop is clean, a little hidden but definitely worth finding. He sketched out the idea and was open to any input I had but I had full trust in him. He does great work and definitely was affordable for being in Waikīkī and cheaper than a lot of Vegas places where I live. I recommend and will Definitely be back

    While visiting Waikīkī, I decided that I needed to get a tattoo before I went back to the mainland. My friend decided she wanted to get her first one too. I looked at reviews on Yelp and this place had great results. Was able to schedule an appointment for the day before we left. Sent a couple inspiration photo's, came in for our appointment with some additional details (colors, size, location). Sammi drew us some samples, we decided on size and he got to work. I absolutely love my new tattoo!

    Neil was so kind and easy to work with! He listened to my questions and concerns and was able to give me knowledgeable recommendations. I absolutely loved my time here and I look forward to coming back!

    A legit measuring tape tattoo!

    Neil was so fast, accommodating, flexible, strives for perfection, and most of all fun to spend my 7 hours with even while he's inflicting pain. Haha He did my scar coverup beautifully. I am so in love with my not 1 but 2 pieces today, I will definitely be back!

    Amazing quality and service!!! I reached out to get a quote for a tattoo my nieces wanted in memory of their mother. They were so nice and accommodating to us. Niece 1's tattoo took about 7 hours. She got a half sleeve tribal. Just look at the quality! Niece 2 got a tribal band on her thigh. Both girls felt safe, welcome, and heard. Neil took the time and care to make sure the tribal design represented their Samoan culture, even incorporating the 'Malu' design. Can't wait to come back and get some more!!

    I found Suite Dreamz tattoo via Yelp and IG and so glad I came in. I initially reached out on IG, but made the smart choice to come in a book a tattoo appt since I wanted it on my last day before flying back home. Sammie greeted me and explained everything clearly. I ended up choosing Neil for my tattoo and he introduced himself too after wrapping up a session. I showed him what I was looking for and he gave me an estimate. I put down a deposit to book the appointment. Do note they are CASH ONLY! Day of the appointment I went in the shop and Neil sat down with me on drawing out the tattoo. He freehanded my ankle/foot wrap and incorporated all the ideas I wanted it to represent perfectly! Neil even took the time to explain the symbols and meanings to me, which I really appreciated. I went with a Marquesan/Polynesian look since I didn't want it too bold, and Neil even threw in some Filipino tribal to honor my culture. During the session, they played all the DJ Noiz jams haha I also asked if they knew any shops with Saniderm to buy, and he went ahead and wrapped me up with it after our appointment. Definitely come to Suite Dreamz for your tattoo, you won't regret it! I know I'll be back :-)

    Absolutely love this tattoo shop! Neil was the most accommodating tattoo artist I have ever been to. The tribal piece he gave me on my forearm was super sick and it didn't stop there. After he heard my lady and I haven't been to zippy's he not only took us and bought us dinner but gave us a ride back to our hotel! Kuya Neil is literally the sickest dude ever and his shop is an exact representation of how amazing of a person he is! 100/10 recommend going to his shop if you find yourself on Oahu!

    Went to the location on JBPH and Ben was AWESOME! His line work is super good as I wanted thin lines but without it disappearing after it peeled and he delivered!! Going to go back and have him do a floral half sleeve piece on me!

    I got my second tattoo here while visiting in hawaii and it was one of the best experiences ever! My artist was sam and he was amazing very easy to talk to and made sure my tattoo was just how I liked it. 10/10 would go here again. So if you are visiting in hawaii or even live there this is the place to go. The environment was so nice great music and very clean. They have a great size studio as well. No doubt in my mind if I am ever back in the area I would come again. Also I contacted them through their instagram and they were amazing on all the details and setting up an appointment. I couldn't be happier with the experience and the work that was provided! -Riley Del Toro

    5 years later I have travelled back to Hawaii and had my tattoo done by Neil again. This time fixing up my original tattoo, and covering up my first armband. (done by other artists) I highly recommend Neil. He went above and beyond my expectations. Especially with the cover up of the arm band. The shop is in a great location in Waikiki. The 8 hour sitting went extremely quickly with great conversations about Hawaii living. Neil was also super accomodating, allowing my wife and two sons to sit in for a few hours. If any one in Hawaii is looking for a Tattoo. Then Suite Dreamz Tattoo is where you should go!!!!

    Book with Neil!
    Nini M.

    3rd time with Neil!!! Every year we visit the island and want to get a tattoo and the past three times we started a new tradition to get a small tattoo with Neil! We didn't come last year because we were with family but this year we scheduled to get one a month in advanced. Paid a $50 deposit for each person. When we arrived, Neil remembered us i think that's so cool because he sees a million people a year I'm sure. He makes sure we love the placement of our tattoos before starting. He makes us feel like regulars; talks about life, family, news, sports, etc. he's such a cool person and we always recommend to come here! Can't wait to see you next year!!

    Final product
    Michael C.

    Neil is an awesome artist! He first drew the outline on my shoulder and made adjustments as I asked, then checked in with me on some specific designs I wanted. I am very happy with how it turned out and especially love how he shades to make it look 3-D. I will definitely come back!

    Amazing service at the newest location on hickam Air Force base. Very friendly people once we walked in. The environment was fun and inviting for anyone who was coming In to check out the place. The tattoo itself as a last minute walk in request turned out better than I had expected. My artist @mistercleantat2 was clean with his work and made the whole process fun and super enjoyable. I actually plan to rebook with him in the next month to get a couple more pieces done by him. I definitely recommend to anyone who is new to island or looking a new change in tattoo artist or shop and has base access definitely make this place your first stop. Thank you again to suite dreamz for adding a new piece of art to my collection!!

    What is the best way to book an appointment?

    I just called their phone and spoke to them about what I was looking for and made the appointment over the phone.

    I will be in town for week (next week) and was wondering if you take walk ins or do I have to schedule an appointment? I want to get a small tattoo.

    You can always walk in but better to make an appointment first so you have your spot saved.

    What would the cost range look like for a small tattoo?

    Hey Elena, I got a small anklet tattoo (‘string’ and three little Buddha’s all around) done here in February and it only cost $150, if I remember correctly.. Max $200… Read more

    Do they have female artists that work here?

    They do, but only for smaller pieces.

    Can you pay with cash?

    Yes you can. It's cash only

    "I'm wearing short sleeves, I don't want to expose my tattoos."…read more-Jerry Seinfeld Well now I DO wanna wear short sleeves to let my new honu peek out a bit! Been wanting to get a honu ink'd to remind me of where I came from... where home really is. Everytime I go back, I run out of time or just didn't want to give up the beach day. This time the whole fam was IN... when I explained my design concept, both my wife and daughter wanted their own version, still honu themed. da Scene: Determined to get this done done during the 16 day visit back home on Oahu, I did my research early and narrowed it down to 3 spots initially. After some dm's, email exchanges and finally some voice calls, it was Lai @ Tattoo Hawaii who I connected with most, so we scheduled an in-person consult and then our sessions, with 2 days left on our trip - only lost 1 beach day (it was a perfect one too). da Service: Every contact before our session was courteous and replied to promptly. I did have to be insistent on Lai doing our work, even if it meant spanning multiple days. His work on social media and Yelp! most connected with me. At our consult he explained how he would approach my design concept and adapt it to my wife and daughter. Lai was confident he could get us all done in one afternoon/evening session. The shop is tucked away on the 2nd floor of a little building on the corner of Kapiolani and Piikoi... parking is a challenge, so arrive early to wait out a spot. The shop is comfortable and can accommodate 3-4 artists working, with friends looking on in support. da Work: Kai was up 1st as hers would be the least complicated. She went with 3 petroglyph style honu, each about 3.5" diameter, ink'd fairly heavy - vertically on her upper arm, pretty classic design. She has several tattoos already and was surprised that Lai didn't work with a stencil... he simply free-handed the design with several pens, directly on your body. He's a very cool, confident cat, laid back and within minutes has you chatting it up like you went to high school together. I went next as my wife wanted to see how mine's worked out to help solidify her concept. Lai drew a honu/dragon/shark tooth design on my upper arm and I said "go for it". 2.5 hours later I was stunned at the fine details he added to the shark's teeth encircling the honu shell, as well as tribal accents in the honu, while incorporating the dragon profile. It really was satisfying to see my concept executed closely, while adding style and depth, bringing it to life. Carla was last up and really wanted to stick close to what I had done... just smaller and wanted the dragon to "pop" more. As you can see, Lai nailed it... however subtle, the dragon does appear more prominent on her piece. da Wrap: Really happy all-around, already thinking about how to add to it, maybe add color, grow it further down my arm, how to add to the story. It's a very personal thing and I really suggest you take your time to research and find the right artist. I'm confident that you'll find the right one at Tattoo Hawaii. We were there most of the day and saw several folks and artists' work, there was actually one guy there the whole time getting a large whole body piece worked on with a manual tattoo tool, that's an investment! HUGE shout out to Lai for making our sessions so enjoyable and comfortable... When he found out it was my and my wife's 1st work, he said he was honored to be 1st... such a humble guy, great disposition. We'll see you soon brother!

    Many things have changed since my 2018 visit so the information in this review can stay relevant…read more I visited last week for a fairly large piece and Lai took care of it like he did with my two other ones. When you arrive remember to fill out the paperwork provided. This could probably be streamlined if it were made available online. Regardless, you can reach out to the shop via social media or even the shop's webpage too. We took multiple breaks on my last visit. What started out as a request for a pueo turned into a session to catch up since pre-pandemic and get back in the chair. Lai free handed the entire piece. I wanted a poly style piece with Lai's style and that's what I got. Very much appreciated for attention to detail. Reach out to the shop via social media and if you want specifics like cost and time, you better be specific about your request too. (i.e. size, color, design, etc). There are so many shops on Oahu and Tattoo Hawaii was the only one that gave me an accurate cost and time frame, not to mention some awesome conversation. Highly recommended and thoroughly enjoyed!

You have got to be kidding me, but I always wanted to go to Lisa the only reason why I call other places in the first place is because they open it on the little bit later side and I wanted to get it done as soon as possible but long story short EVERYWHERE else has crazy inflation prices... Lisa is seriously the only person that I remember it being the same amount from 10 years ago that is so crazy honestly I feel like she should make everything at least $10 more That's how good her services, she ain't even answered all my questions that I have about why my industrial fill out before and all that this is literally my first good review normally I only review places when it's like extremely bad not just a little bad I can handle that but if it's like the worst place I've ever been to then I have to write something to one others but Lisa is my first good review and I'm very thankful that she took me in as a walk-in and had me out within 10 minutes maybe even 5 minutes at the most thanks again Lisa :) PS she even exited the tipping screen and said to not worry about tipping her but of course I want to~she already has her prices ridiculously cheap.. I have literally never seen anyone say no need to tip (especially in the service industry) If you need any piercings done please go to Lisa she's the best and honestly I'll never go to anyone else ^^

It was super odd, i've never had a piercer ever be so unfriendly. a few months later i went to my usual piercing place to get new jewelry and kinda talked about the Ink Pit to her. she knew who i was talking about because i guess Lisa "botches" her clients and has a reputation of it in the piercing world. my flat jewelry from the Ink Pit was so long but i thought it was okay, and my usual piercer said she was surprised it healed because it was too long to safely heal. i usually don't have trouble with my piercings, but this was so painful and hard to heal. as soon as i got a shorter piece, it stopped hurting and looks great now. their starting jewelry is terrible. this place is cheap and quick and im sure Lisa was just having a bad day when i was in there, but there are much better places to go. and remember, there's a reason why it's so cheap.

I ultimately chose this shop because the artists here are so talented. It was actually quite hard to narrow it down and choose which artist I wanted to do my ink - they're all crazy talented. But then I fell in love with a design I saw and I selected Brian and sent him an email to begin correspondence. When I arrived in Oahu I went by and we discussed what I wanted and I made and appointment and put down a deposit. My appointment was for Friday 2/9 at noon. Brian had drawn up the design for me that included the elements I asked for and it was even more beautiful than anything I had pictured. He managed to incorporate the ocean sunset design I loved, altered it to include flowers instead of leaves and he worked in the Polynesian element I wanted. He massively exceeded my expectations. The appointment was great. Brian is a skilled tattoo artist, he is very personable and I enjoyed talking with him as he used his 6-7 colors of black and grey to create my tattoo. I am very pleased with the result. Everything he used was new/disposable and he was meticulous in his care of keeping everything as clean and sterile as possible. I highly recommend this shop and Brian.

We decided to return for another tattoo this trip. My daughter got a beautiful red flower (we knew red ink tends to fade faster), and I got a beach scene with palm trees. Both tattoos came out lovely, truly 5-star-worthy work. The reason for my 3-star review isn't about the artwork but the experience afterward. While my daughter was in the lobby, the staff were admiring her tattoo, which was nice to hear, but then the conversation turned to comments about how the red ink wouldn't last and other remarks that weren't so positive. We completely understand the nature of red ink and appreciate honesty, but it's not great to overhear that kind of discussion right after getting a tattoo. For many people, including us, tattoos often hold sentimental meaning, they represent moments, memories, and people close to our hearts, even if we don't always share that story out loud. So, a little extra sensitivity goes a long way. Overall, the artistry and quality of the work are top-notch, but I'd just recommend being mindful of conversations when clients are still around to hear them.
