Once I arrived Jerry worked on the design and tweaked it until we came up with something that we both thought was a good fit. We chatted throughout the procedure and I felt extremely comfortable with him. The pain was minimal during the tattoo, and here it is 3 days later and I still don't have any pain or discomfort. I highly recommend Vagabond Tattoo.

The team at Imia Tattoo was great to work with. I had contacted them via Instagram to let them know…read moreI wanted to walk in the next day, they filled me in. We spoke about the design and what I was looking for and Justin was great and came up with a drawing in less than 30 minutes. This was my first tattoo so there was lots of anxiety going into it. I let them know what spots on my body I was looking to get it at and they mentioned the forearm would be the last painful, which it really was. I think it really depends on where your pain tolerance is. If I ever visit Maui again, i'll be sure to add more work or get another tattoo from the Imua team!

I got my first tattoo at almost 60. It was when my daughter asked for one, and I was thinking to…read moremyself, why not go do it with her. That was five years ago. For our 30th anniversary, my wife and I went to Maui for a week. The best vacation we've ever had. When it was almost time to pack our suitcases and leave Maui, we were thinking why not get a tattoo to commemorate the vacation, as well as the anniversary. We looked up several tattoo parlors. While at Paia we paid a visit to one, but it needed a booking in advance. Another one in Kihei, we encountered a rude tattooist who (almost) practically threw us out because we weren't so sure what tattoo we wanted to get... and then, when we were close to giving up, we found Zen Tattoo. Greg was free, and said he would love to help. We looked up several images, and picked one. And then the magic happened. But not before we were watching in awe how Greg was preparing. He put on a pair of surgical gloves and started sterilizing EVERYTHING. The trays, the machine, and everything that could get in touch with us. Better yet, he wrapped EVERYTHING in Saran wrap. And I mean everything. Then he took of the gloves, threw them away, and put on a new pair. Only then he started to prepare the candidate skin for the tattoo we selected. At the end, he cleaned the area well, and applied "Second Skin", a modern aftercare method that keeps a new tattoo consistently hydrated using ointment or medical-grade wraps. This approach prevents hard scabbing, reduces fading, and accelerates healing, though it requires strict cleanliness to avoid bacterial growth in the moist environment. In retrospect - a good choice to make when considering a tattoo. He worked meticulously, and the results were spectacular. When he finished with my wife and it was my turn, we were amazed to see that Greg went through the entire set of rigorous sterilization, again, not skipping one step, including two sets of surgical gloves. Then he did mine. So three comments: 1. Greg is excellent at tattooing. Outstanding work. 2. Greg is extremely obsessed with cleanliness and sterilization. 3. Greg was the nicest person. He reassured us throughout the process. Bottom line: considering the preparation, the professionalism, the personality, and the outcome - when in Maui considering a tattoo - choose Greg 100%.

I had left a message to inquire about an appointment, and John called me back shortly after, letting me know I could come in right away. I showed him the design I had in mind, and he quickly sketched it out, made the small changes I requested, and before I knew it, we were getting started. He made me feel completely comfortable throughout the entire process. With over 12 years of experience, I knew I was in good hands. The final result is perfect and exactly what I wanted! It was such a smooth, positive experience from start to finish. If I ever decide to get another tattoo, I'll absolutely make a special trip back to Maui just to see John again at Pacific Rootz Tattoo.
