    I'm more than blessed & lucky to have met mark awhile back before he started tattooing. After losing my dad, I just needed to get this honoring him & what a better person to get my tattoo done other than Mark. He's super chill, down-to-earth and just the right person to go to & makes you feel at ease. From beginning to end of my session, he outdid himself. In just one session with precision & creativity, I went home with a bittersweet feeling of joy & happiness knowing that I have this tattoo to remember and honor the man who raised me/us for eternity. Thank you mark! For your tattoo needs make sure to visit him & book your next tattoo session with him.

    I was referred to Mark here at Trigger Happy from family in Cali... We set a consultation appt... At the appt I just told him kinda what I wanted done and told him to just shoot it from the hip...I told him I was told he was the man...he said ok... Then we set my appt. Tattoo day as you can see by the picture, i am very happy with the work... Thanks Mark! When I come back I will most definently have to get more work done... I highly recommend Mark and the shop to all!

    leaving this review for Oscar (@oc_tatt)! he did such a beautiful job on this memorial piece for my grandma back in december and took great care in doing such. he does a great job at creating a calm, safe space and dedicated a lot of time and attention to detail to the piece. his books fill up almost instantly so i recommend keeping his post notifications on if you want a piece done by him. :3

    in progress...

    Joe Garcia is the best tattoo artist I have ever seen. He is very artistic and very sterile. He is absolutely a genius at what he does. He has a background in autobody and painting... specialized in graphix too i believe. If you can spray graphix and details on an automobile, you are already in a "different" category from the rest. He is the best and no one else will ever compare! you wont be disappointed!! Joe also has a light hand in tattooing which is a plus for suckers like me who cant handle pain very well. Joe has done my full back, right shoulder and my left collar bone.

    The look and presentation of the shop itself speaks volumes about the artists in the shop. Joe is amazing with his artistic ability and attention to detail is fantastic. You can always trust he knows what he is doing. Overall, I had a great experience and Trigger Happy Tattoo is my go to shop! I have had many tattoos here and every-time Joe knocks it out of the park. Honestly, I couldn't be happier! He is a great artist and the shop is a laid back with a friendly environment. I definitely would recommend for anyone looking to get a tattoo and definitely will be back for many more!

    Small, but not too small. Perfect & just enough space needed, I mean it's open 'by appointment's only' so the space is great. Hella' clean, like spotless it's impressive. Neat & organized. Hella' portfolio's put together of pieces for ideas of a tattoo interested to get. The seats in the waiting area are so sick! Haha. So 80's! Loved it.

    Top of the line artist and amazing people. One of the only shops I would go to again and again... and I will. True professionals

    What can I say? Joe is amazing! He's done majority of my work and I wouldn't go anywhere else or trust anyone else either. I get compliments ALL the time, even from strangers and old people. Lol! He is very professional and an outstanding artist. He just renovated the shop himself and I can't wait to see it when I go back for my next piece!! 3 tattoos ago I said it was my last one... Oh well... He turned me into an addict.

    So I called one evening because I had wanted to get the snake bite piercing for a long time and I…read morehad the $ to be able to do it right then. So I called, although they were closed they stayed open and when I got there they were so awesome! Right away they were very personable and fun to talk with and interesting. They make your experience unbelievably easy and any concerns you have will be addressed or answered. I think they have the Aloha spirit; where you almost feel like you're Ohana when you walk in there. When you do, your going to possibly love all the interesting collectibles! I got my snake bite and then I took my daughter to get her nose pierced her septum and she said very minimal pain even for the area and my daughter cannot handle pain she is a very sensitive person. Even she was surprised and happy! Her piercing is doing great! She did what she was told on how to take care of it and she's asking to get more!! When I give in there is nowhere else I would go except here!

    Saw their booth at the Hawaii Tattoo Expo and they had great prices for what I wanted to get so I…read moredecided to get my third lobes and mid helix done. First off, EXTREMELY unorganized. All of their jewelry was stored in plastic containers where the employees were just digging through, without gloves (SO unsanitary), to find the jewelry that the customers wanted. I wanted titanium flat backs because I'm allergic to sterling silver and I don't heal well if it is pierced with steel. The girl who pierced me looked through all the containers before finding 3 gold colored titanium flat backs with silver colored titanium ball toppers. The piercing process started out okay, she cleaned off the area, although not very thoroughly, and marked where she was going to pierce and let me see before she started the process. I don't think they sterilized the jewelry before they pierced me either, even though different, ungloved, employees were digging around in the jewelry boxes just before. She opened a new needle and started on my lobes, these were pretty smooth. The biggest issue came when she started on my mid helix. Told me take a deep breath and she pushed the needle through, then went to guide the jewelry in, but could only get it HALFWAY. I heard her whisper "oh shoot" under her breath before proceeding to try multiple times to push the jewelry all the way through. She asked the other guy, Jay, for help and they both stood there pushing my ear around for a solid 3 minutes before the jewelry was fully through. It was a while before the piercing was done, I could feel the blood on my ear slipping around while he essentially tried to repierce it with the jewelry. Neither of them used a clamp, or even a tube to catch the needle as it went through to the other side, just used their hands which I could feel were slipping off my ear. To top it all off, my mom told me after that they used the same needle for all three of my piercings, super unsanitary! I've gotten thick cartilage piercings done before this (rook, nostril, helix) and I have NEVER had an experience like this. I will not be coming back here, not even for my jewelry changes. The only good thing I would say about this experience was that the lady at the front was polite and friendly, and the girl who pierced me was also nice, I just wish the process of the actual piercing was a bit cleaner and smoother. I hope nobody else has an experience like this, and I hope my piercings don't get infected.
