Hibiscus
Aubrey W.

We walked in on the first day of our Maui leg of the trip knowing we wanted tattoos. We gave them an idea of what we wanted, booked, and paid our deposits. We returned for our appointments, actually a bit early, and Cole had drawn up my husbands and was working on mine. He gave us EXACTLY what we wanted. They were extremely professional, extremely knowledgeable and drew up exactly what we wanted. The vibe was exactly that of a tattoo shop. Clean, professional, friendly, and very knowledgeable!!!! Tori did my mother in laws and she had the exact same experience. We will island hop again just to have them do their work on us!!! Thank you Cole and Tori and shop for being amazing!!!!

Dog tattoo

Great little shop and super laid back artists and chill vibes all around. Our last day in Maui I wanted to get a souvenir tattoo and my sister in law wanted her first. This place had the most reviews and I liked the tattoos I was seeing. We called in the morning and they said they could take us in as walk-ins at 4pm. We arrived and were promptly greeted by tori! We filled out our paperwork on the iPad and air dropped the photos we wanted to her and Cole. I had cole and he was awesome - very chill and friendly. He drew up the sea turtle for me to match the stamp outline and I love it! Goes really well. He has a very light hand and it was smooth sailing. I didn't bleed at all and still haven't with my new skin on. I'm not sure the name of the artist my SIL had but she wore a hat with a headlamp and she was super awesome! Friendly and talking with her about all our dogs. Loved her energy and was very sweet to my SIL since it was her first tattoo. Again, light handed so no bleeding either for her. Thanks so much for hooking us up with some great souvenirs!! Mahalo~

Great tattoos! Friendly staff, helps talk you through the tattoo and how to care for it properly, they use second skin at the end which is great. Vibe is amazing as far as tattoo parlors go. Our artist Jerry!

Cartilage piercing
Traci F.

I've been wanting to get a traditional Okinawan women's hand tattoo (hajichi) for a while now. When my daughter asked me to take her to get her ear cartilage pierced, I figured this was a good time to check this off my bucket list. I made an appointment for my tattoo. Piercings are on a walk-in basis. Stacey did my daughter's piercing and she was awesome! My daughter felt at ease and the piercing was exactly how she wanted it. Jerry did my hand tattoo. He was so laid back and made me feel completely comfortable. He tried his best to distract me by sharing some jokes. The pain wasn't as bad as I thought it would be and it only took about 30 minutes. I need to go back in a month for a touch up (which is included in the price), but I'm already happy with how it turned out. Now I'm thinking about adding to my tattoo!

Squirt with a plumeria
Stacy J.

It was super easy to get an appointment! Cole was my tattoo artist and he was amazing!!!! I sent a couple of pics for examples of what I wanted and he nailed it!!!!! I'm so happy with my new tattoo from start to finish.

My new favorite tattoo absolutely love this place! Bryan did an amazing job!

Tattoo is beautiful and is better than I imagined!! Bryan did a great job. The details in all the decor in the shop are so cool. My favorite tattoo yet.

The hubby and I came here for matching tattoos. Jerry was a pro and created a lovely hibiscus tattoo from a photo. It came out better than I imagined and I will carry it with me forever. Jerry is a philosophical artist with a light sure hand. He made our tattoo experience was memorable and as painless as possible. I loved the humor and stories that live within Vagabond Tattoo. These special souls capture life in ink. The light in me bows to the light in all of you.

Stacey was amazing in every single way. I instantly felt a comfort feeling from her. I haven't been to many piercings shops but she was my favorite by far. Me and my mother had gone to get a few lobe piercings and ended up with 25 piercings between the 2 of us in 6 days. She is amazing and I would recommend everyone to go to her for their piercings needs. You won't be disappointed. In fact you way end up with more than you thought you needed due to her creativity and genuine soul. The shop was extremely clean and all of the other staff were very friendly. Minimal pain because of her wonderful technique.

Memento Mori tattoo from vagabond by Bryan. Such great work.

Ask the Community - Vagabond Tattoo

Are appointments needed for tattoos?

We take walk ins on a first come first served basis if we have availability. We do recommend an appointment because we do book up and if you have a specific day and time you want to get in that’s the best way to do it. Mahalo!

Do you guys still do $25 piercings on every 4th friday?, if so does this include rook piercings?

We do not. That special ended several years ago and I am still removing references to it as I find them.

I walked in to get my nose piercing jewelry changed from the stud I got pierced with to a rose gold hoop. I was wondering if you're able to tell me the size of gauge it was? TIA!

Aloha Mika! Call the z studio and Stacey can tell ya, I don’t have that info here :)

Hi! I was wondering how much ear lobe piercings are?

Most piercings run 80$ and that includes the jewelry, there are so many options though that we have quite a few that are different just depending on what it is. A set of ear… 

How much would it cost to get a rook piercing?

For a rook piercing we charge 80$ and that includes the jewelry in the price. We look forward working with you :) Aloha and mahalo!

Hi! Was hoping to find out if you had any pretty 00g double flare plugs in stock? Thanks!

Aloha! We carry jewelry ranging from 18g all the way up to two to three inch plugs. We have both organics as well as surgical steel deep saddle plugs (for the surfer folks)… 

Do you tattoo minors?

Provided that the parent and child can prove their relationship as required by the State of Hawaii we do

What is the pricing for tattoos?

Our minimum sitting fee is one hundred dollars; from there smaller pieces we estimate the time and assign a price. For larger hourly work we actually time the session. Our hourly rates run between one hundred and fifty and two hundred dollars per…

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%.

Piercings are permanent, and something I believe should be one area you invest in! I frequented Maria Tash & boutique piercing studios in Manhattan, and have been waiting for that level of service here - and Kenna is IT & beyond! Look no further, I do not have enough positive feedback on my experience. Vibe was top notch, calm, aesthetic - and Kenna's calming & warm energy just adds to the experience. If you're someone who is perfectionist for those high quality, investable, dainty but high-end curated ear (and other!) pieces & materials - run don't walk! I'll be back Kenna, thanks again!
