Tattoolicious Tattoo Waikiki

Fantastic experience: Had a great experience as a michigander visiting the island, would highly recommend this spot

Fantastic experience: Last day on the Island for my vacation and decided to get a tattoo. I am so happy I found this place. David does such amazing work. I absolutely love my new tattoo. I would definitely recommend this place for your next tattoo. ☺️❤️

Positive experience: I got a tattoo from Adriaan about a week ago, and it was a meh experience. As a person he was super nice and chill. But my first red flag was that he automatically used numbing cream (which is known to mess with needle depth and healing..not always but often), he didn't check in before applying it, if he had asked I would have said no, but with this being my 2nd and being fairly young I was scared to bring it up. As we went on everything was fine, lines were a teeny bit wiggly but I expected them to thicken out as they healed. Then when we got to filling in the black areas, they were spotty. Some gaps in the filling, and he didn't notice. Said he was finished. I told him no and that he missed spots (gave him the benefit of the doubt), so he filled them in a bit more and said he thought it looked finished. A week later and the peeling stage is finished. I've been washing twice a day with gentle unscented soap and lotion as recommended. And it still looks a bit uneven and patchy. Overall not a great experience, definitely could've been way worse. But nonetheless experiencing some tattoo let down. And since I don't live on the islands, I won't be able to get touchups unless someone else miraculously agrees, or I wait several years to go back. TLDR: Maybe consider somewhere else, unless you aren't as picky as me when it comes to tattoo quality. I will add a picture when fully healed (Side note: the receptionists are some of the nicest people ever)

Fantastic experience: Tina was awsome in helping me get booked and the right artist for what I was looking for. Keith drew an amazing hook design and the whole thing was painless. Very nice shop. Clean and friendly. Definitely consider these folks if wanting a tattoo on Oahu.

Fantastic experience: Super great experience. 10 out of 10 would recommend

Fantastic experience: I traveled here from Chicago for a appointment with Zee. After she was done, I asked her to do the rest of what I wanted, I'll just come back. There are tattoo shops everywhere at home so I don't think I need to say more. What a nice sweet kid. So talented!!!! .

Fantastic experience: If you're looking for a tattoo shop in Honolulu, hit up Huevo at Tattoo Licious! He nailed it! Super nice and talkative guy. He made me feel so comfortable and even talked to my 8 yr old son a lot too! He made sure to check on me and make sure I was as comfy and taken care of as possible! Next time I go to Oahu, another tattoo by Huevo will be on my agenda!

Fantastic experience: Just got a tattoo done here amazing customer service everyone was super nice the artist did an amazing job 10/10 would recommend

Fantastic experience: What a great place to get my 1st tattoo. Staff was so friendly and accommodating. I dropped in on a Friday with no appointment, I met Keith and went over some options, then went home with some homework. I set up an appointment to come back. On the day of my appointment I arrived a little early, and hung out in the waiting area. Keith came out and went over what I wanted, then he got set up and we started. What great work, the whole experience was fantastic. Keith was great and we had a lot to talk about while he worked. If you want a tattoo this is the place to go.

Fantastic experience: We went to this studio one day before we were leaving Hawaii and it was such a fun and nice experience. We got matching family tattoos from Keith and they came out so beautiful! Everybody there was so kind and we had a lot of fun!

Positive experience: I had a mixed experience with Heuvo. My appointment on Oct 13 didn’t happen — I was told there’d been a death in the family, which I completely understood. When we spoke the next day, he said it was just an emergency, and by Oct 20 he didn’t remember it at all, which left me a bit confused about what had really happened. My actual tattoo appointment was on Oct 20. He arrived over 30 minutes late and was pulled away during my shin tattoo to fix work on another person. The tattoo itself took under an hour, but I was charged for nearly two. The work looks good, but the experience felt a bit disorganized and he seemed like he didn’t want to be there. A little more communication and focus would really improve the client experience.

Positive experience: I wish when I was reading reviews someone had posted this. I hate to do this but this place is just super over priced. This was not my first tattoo and I honestly wish I had gone elsewhere. I have paid $200/hr which I am fine with. But it has never included just sitting there waiting time. When paying by the hour you pay for tattoo time. Not waiting time. My appointment was at 12:30. But we didn’t start for over an hour. Still I was charged for that time. So for a smaller tattoo. I literally paid the same as my left sleeve. I planned this way in advance. Now the art is fine tho there was little to no creativity. With all the places to get a tattoo here. Even several good places within walking distance of Tattoolicious. I just would shop around. I won’t be back which is sad as I’m local. And I would not advise anyone to go there.

Fantastic experience: Had the best experience ever at this place!! My friends and I wanted to get our first tattoos while all on vacation together. We called during our last day and we were lucky enough to get Lai to do all of our tattoos. He did an amazing job and got all of us done within a very timely matter! The tattoo shop is so cool and everyone is so nice and helpful!! 10/10 recommend this place!!!!

Fantastic experience: Huevo is amazing. One of the best tattoo experiences I’ve ever had. I love my butterflies

Fantastic experience: Great tattoo studio. The whole staff is friendly, great vibe, super clean. Highly recommend Huevo if you are looking for fine line work

Fantastic experience: Keith did such an amazing job. He was professional, and the staff are very friendly. Looking forward to my next visit to get my next tattoo. Thanks guy, you were the cherry on top of my vacation.

Negative experience: I gave TattooLicious plenty of time to resolve the issue and now that I'll never be back to Hawaii here is the review. I was threatened and almost assaulted during my tattoo session with Libra. Libra did 2.5 hours of work and tried charging me an additional $700 after I had placed a $600 deposit for an all day session. Libra showed up to our appointment time 30 minutes late. We didn't start until after I sat in the waiting room for 45 minutes. I made small talk with Libra about the weight room etc. and then he prompted to tell me to stop talking and and that he needed to concentrate. Another 45 minutes into the session he took a break. We went for another 30 minutes and then he decided to call it quits as he was too tired. I immediately went to the front desk to complain and was approached by Libra. I asked him how much I owed him and he stated $700 for the 2.5 hours of work. After telling Libra that I had an issue about how the appointment went, he immediately got in my face and started yelling, threatening to "end my life". The guy is probably 6-2 and 230-240lbs. He then proceeded to block the exit and then yelled at me and told me "we should take this outside". Thankfully another tattoo artist came and helped calm Libra down, not before I left without any of my money that I had already paid. The entire situation was captured on camera as it took place right at the front desk. I immediately called the front desk after leaving the building requesting to have my address taken off the digital consent form. To my surprise, the front desk worker was crying as she was so shaken up from what had happened. Sean, the owner of the shop, called me apologizing stating that he would give me a free tattoo session and that I would get my money back. Why I'm writing this review is that Libra still works there, I was never given my money back, and Sean really didn't pull through on his word. He gave me a free tattoo session on a Sunday in which the tattoo shop was closed. Upon arriving at 3PM, I again sat around for an hour while he was working at the coffee shop. Sean stated that Libra had previous violent and racists tendencies in the past. I appreciate him trying to make amends but it really was a little too late for continuing to employ a guy who assaults customers. I'd highly recommend taking your business else where.

Fantastic experience: I wanted a tattoo coverup as well as a special piece since it was my first trip to Hawaii! Me husband and I both wanted something so we started the process about 1-2 months before our trip. We chose tattoolicious based on TONS of solid reviews. We were in contact with Melissa and we told her what we wanted and she hooked us up with the tattoo artists that matched what we wanted. I was paired with Huevo and I could not be any happier with how everything turned out! The coverup is perfect and the piece fits me perfectly. He was funny and easy to talk to! I LOVE THE END RESULT! Everything from the planning stage, the consultation, to the actual session was smooth and easy. The shop was clean and gorgeous as well! I 100% recommended Tattoolicious. ASK FOR HUEVO!!!!

Fantastic experience: I recently got a tattoo by Dave. I sent him a picture of what I wanted a koi fish , and it turned out amazing. The shop is very clean, and has a good vibe! If anyone is looking for a good tattoo shop visit Tattoolicious.

Positive experience: Great experience meeting the guys at Tattoolicious Waikiki. The front staff were very welcoming for a walkin.

Fantastic experience: Outstanding experience from start to finish! Some of the nicest people I’ve ever met and I can’t wait to come back! I love my new custom art from David and appreciate the thoughtful attention to detail in everything you do here.

Fantastic experience: We are so happy that we choose this shop to get tattoos at to commemorate our Hawaii vacation . The front desk girl was so welcoming and friendly , she made us feel like we were regulars coming into the shop! The shop feels like if an art gallery married a tattoo shop ! The tattoo area is so open and spacious unlike some of the other cramped shops we visited . Huevo was our artist and was so accommodating with staying after hours to complete our tattoos . He is a true artist ! My fine line turtle is so much more than I could have ever hoped for ! My hubbies hammer head Polynesian tribal has so much detail ! We definitely recommend this shop and Huevo for your artist ! We will be back our next trip to the island for sure !

Fantastic experience: This place is super flexible!! they were able to get us in right when we showed up so we wouldn’t miss our flight home. The staff is super friendly! Chad did my tattoo and he was super nice and I really liked how my tattoo turned out!! Definitely would recommend this place!

Fantastic experience: Had a wonderful experience here! The staff were friendly, professional, and the shop was very clean and welcoming. They were flexible fitting me & my cousin into the schedule as walk-ins on the same day. Our artist, Danny nailed the design perfectly! He was attentive to details, worked quickly but with care and did an amazing job! 10/10 highly recommended ❤️

Negative experience: Got this gem done in March visiting Hawaii, three of us went in on a walk in basis and I wanted a tiny knuckle violin. The guy who did this (I don’t remember his name but I would put him on blast if I did) encouraged me to get it bigger. I am easily influenced and trusting when it comes to dealing with “professionals” and I seemed to have fallen into the illusion that the person who has you in their hands knows best. This experience has been a great lesson regarding illusions and titles and the pedestals we place others up onto when the reality is that if I had given my dog a tattoo gun, he would have done a better job. Look closely at the middle finger and the gnarly details. Look at where his hand slipped and he stuck me where he shouldn’t have. Then imagine being such an empathetic human being that you feel bad for him and how embarrassing it must have been for him to have done that. And you just want to keep the vibes higher, so you pretend not to notice it. And when tipping time came at check out, you still feel bad for HIM and so you tip him as normal. And he walks past you to smoke a cig and says nothing. No markdown, no apology, no sign of self awareness. I put myself in his shoes and imagine it was him putting his image amongst his fellow tattooers above saying/doing the right thing. Anyone would have been mortified and embarrassed being responsible for this tattoo I think. And the balls to say “hand tattoos are a little bit more expensive because they require more fine motor skill” and I’m like “yeah totally…that makes perfect sense” and I come out with this abomination. I am now in the process of getting laser removal. Thanks for your skills, and your self awareness and humility..your selflessness after doodling on my hand with your “rare tattoo gun” then taking the full price and tip with palpable cowardice because you likely did not want the veterans around you who COULD tattoo to witness what you did to my hand/finger. May this memory give you self cringe in your loneliest hours.

Positive experience: Went to Andy after rec from Rethink-your-ink which was working out of the same shop. (Got 3 sessions to lighten my tattoo) With goal of making the original more feminine and pretty, I met with Andy to discuss broad goals for the existing tattoo, and a first draft was made. (He is super sweet and kind and great artist). After several requests for changes to the piece (that would be on my body forever), it was stated that he might not want to do my tattoo so I decided not to pursue anymore changes to the template and just go with it for the most part since my deposit had been placed. My mistake, no fault to him, I should have listened. Long story short it turned out that I shouldn't have paid for the tattoo removal sessions since the tattoo turned out exactly like the old piece just darker and bigger (exactly what I was hoping to avoid). See pics for understanding. Summary: Place is clean and nice! The male artists I met are kinda pushy and if you ask questions they will treat you like you are stupid, so don't go unless you know exactly what you want and can get in and out!

Fantastic experience: I’m just beyond thrilled with my new ink! Lai created this beautiful piece of art for me this afternoon! Took about 2.5 hours once he started. Definitely my favorite ink, out of the 10 I have. Everyone was so friendly and the gals I spoke with, concerning my appointment were an absolute delight. Super cool they validate parking for the garage across McCully & Ala Wai, nice surprise! The shop was super easy to find and does have a short flight of stairs to reach the entrance, so be aware of that if you have mobility issues. Shop has several places to sit, while waiting to start including some private, separate rooms. Beverages were offered, but we brought our own water. Must stay hydrated.

Fantastic experience: David did an amazing job on my tattoo!! Was profesuonal and the shop was super clean and had a great vibe!!! Will definitely go back if i am ever in Honolulu again!!!!!

Fantastic experience: Recurring customer for the last several years and I cannot express how much I recommend Tattoolicious! Both Sam and Enson exceeded my expectations in both quality of work and atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful tattoo by Molina. This artist is detail oriented, artistic and pretty quick. I have ten tattoos and he’s the only tattoo artist that I’ve ever let do two, I highly recommend Molina.

Fantastic experience: I’m so impressed with Dave! He really listened to what I wanted!! Went above and beyond taking care of me!! Olga was amazing setting up my appointment!! I had an amazing experience. Will definitely come back next time I’m in Hawaii

Fantastic experience: First class service and atmosphere. The studio is spacious and immaculate. The tattoo area is separated from the rest of the studio giving privacy to guests. The artists were all nice. My artist was Huevo and he is amazing. Had great conversations with him about life while he dud his thing. I would highly recommend this studio and this artist if you can get him.

Fantastic experience: MAY THE 4th BE WITH YOU! Star Wars event was AMAZING! Thanks Lai for the epic flash tattoos! Until next time!

Fantastic experience: Been here twice for some decent-sized tattoos. The entire process was great from start to finish. Great people, very talented artest and clean facility. Definitely my favorite spot on island to get some ink.

Fantastic experience: I recently got a tattoo at tattoolicious with molina and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The atmosphere was welcoming and clean they offered free latte making me feel comfortable right away. The artist took the time to understand my vision and offered great suggestions to enhance the design and make it perfect! The attention to detail was more than impressive and everything and more I could have ever wanted the final result exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this shop and molinatattoos to anyone looking for quality work and a professional experience! I've ember had anything more beautiful and stunning on my body and I'd go to him again and again! Flawless work that I will proudly wear and smile about forever!

Fantastic experience: Great shop from the front desk staff to the artists! Never been to a place that had SO MANY artists in one place. Definitely a go-to spot for everything from a small first tattoo, to a big project piece. Reasonable prices and great flexibility as well. Scheduling is seamless too and everyone is so accommodating. The atmosphere when you walk in is inviting. Very chill place and I highly recommend getting some work done here!!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend if you’re looking for an amazing experience from booking to completed work!! Huevo has such a positive energy and his style can’t be beat! I gave him an idea and he personalized it!! Mahalo for my sea turtle!! You rock!!

Fantastic experience: Great work from Dave, very considerate, cleanly and relatively pleasant experience! Will definitely be back for more!!

Fantastic experience: My fiancé and I were lucky enough to come to Oahu for a few days for work and decided to get a tattoo together. I had the honor to be able to work with David and he was absolutely perfect!! I gave him my vision and he exceeded my expectations by FAR! He listened, he made sure I was comfortable and he executed exactly what I wanted. Would go back for sure to see him. Don’t be misled by just his portfolio, he can do it all!!

Fantastic experience: I was inspired by all the roosters on the beaches and I got the best chicken / rooster tattoo from here. People were hella chill and non pretentious. Just real cool talented people. A-plus, and many thanks.

Fantastic experience: First off, this studio is so cool, clean, and is 100% immaculate. The entire staff is cool and welcoming. Molina is an absolute genius. Just started a sleeve with him and he’s so open to ideas while also maintaining his style. He has such an amazing grasp of contrast, I will adore my tatttoo forever. If you’re looking for realism, Molina is the man.

Fantastic experience: Was in Hawaii for vacation and googled "best tattoo shop". Tattoolicious was the first to pop up. Was able to get a walk in appointment with Michael Russell. Michael is a solid dude down to earth and upfront. I couldn't be happier. Very clean shop and everybody was super friendly. Tattoo turned out amazing. Thanks Michael!

Fantastic experience: Got my first tattoo from Chad. From the beginning the receptionist was courteous and professional filled out paperwork and took me to the back. Beautiful location and amazing artwork everywhere. Chad was great to work and collab with. Listened to my desires, executed flawlessly and professionally with great skill. He went above and beyond to explain the process and what to expect. When we were done, I had minor swelling and irritation. This picture is about 15 minutes after the work was done. Thanks Chad!

Fantastic experience: My husband and I made appointments a couple months in advance of our North Shore visit, and I chose Dave for my tattoo idea based on his portfolio. He designed exactly what I envisioned. We spent some time collaborating on the design and watercolor pattern. Mine took about 3.5 hours. The final piece is beautiful and just what I wanted. Dave is one of those people you like and are comfortable around from the very beginning. He’s very talented. The lines are super crisp and the colors meld really nicely. The shop was also able to squeeze my BIL, SIL and their son in for tattoos at the same time, which was awesome for them since it was his first tattoo. I picked Tattoolicious based on their high Google ratings, and I chose right ✅ Definitely recommend!!

Fantastic experience: Great place. Everybody is so friendly. Nice decor. Very clean. Adriaan was super nice. Understand what I wanted. Very friendly, very focused. Wonderful job. So happy with the tattoo. Super clean lines

Fantastic experience: Great staff, and groups of artists. Very clean and inviting atmosphere. I’d definitely come back for another piece further down the line. A lot of work and care put into each piece. Art done by Lai. Mahalo!

Fantastic experience: My artist was Lai, he’s so professional and kind! Got a small scallop shell above my elbow and it came out so cute. Thanks again, Lai!

Fantastic experience: Exactly what I wanted! I was ecstatic with the hospitality in the shop and with my tattoo artist! Molina gave me everything I wanted and more, we communicated and he continuously checked in with me during the tattoo. He was amazing and I absolutely love the work he put into the tattoo! I’d highly recommend the shop and most definitely the artist, Molina!

Fantastic experience: There is a magical energy about this place. The Artists are all very talented and the company is professional, warm and kind. So happy with the tattoo Heuvo gave me! He made it even better than my own vision. Highly recommend TattooLicious for your next tattoo while your visiting the islands.

Fantastic experience: My wife and a couple of friends have gotten tattoos here and I really liked how theirs turned out so when the time came for my first tattoo Tattoolicious was my first choice and I was not disappointed! The staff are very welcoming and professional and the shop has a great vibe and is very clean. Enson did my tattoo and is truly awesome at what he does! He found the perfect balance between what I had in mind and his artistic vision and my piece turned out better than I thought possible! I will definitely be going back for my future tattoos!

Fantastic experience: My Wife and I gotta our first tattoo here while on vacation. From first contact to completion tattoolicious hit it out of the park. Andy and Dave did amazing work. Both were very professional. Explained the process as we went through it. Now we are both back in Canada we couldn't be happier with our tattoos. Thank you again and I'm sure we will see you again soon

Fantastic experience: The customer service was great! Keith did an awesome job and even fit my husband in at last minute also. We had special designs and he was able to do exactly what we wanted. Definitely will come back when I visit my family again!

Negative experience: Very unprofessional! First filled out long detailed form with multiple inspiration photos. Then had to do a 20 min phone consultation that was mostly me repeating the same answers already on the detailed form. They asked me to come for a final consultation when I arrived on island. I arrive at 10:25 for a 10:30 apt to a locked building. Knocked and banged on door with no response. At 10:40 still no one has arrived so I reached out to my contact (not the artist I was assigned. I have never talked to them.) Was told he was almost there at 11 am he arrives, has no idea that he even has an appointment with me, and then proceeds to tell me he hasn’t even started drawing the design! Why did I fill out the long form and have 20 min phone call just for me to start from scratch when I arrived. I always get travel tattoos and have never had this much disrespect for the customer and their time. Also the artists on there site are not who is available. I chose the location based on work but the two artist I wanted were no longer there, they convinced me to go with someone unlisted but that should have been my red flag. High turnover is always a red flag! Find somewhere who cares about their clients.

Fantastic experience: Had the pleasure of getting tattooed by Michael Russell. We had texted back and fourth on Instagram and he always replies fast. Love his traditional work and works super efficient and fast which is always a plus. Definitely will be going back again soon.

Fantastic experience: Lai was my artist and he did an amazing job! He added way more detail than the reference photo I provided and it turned out beautifully. The studio was super clean as well and was very cozy

Fantastic experience: I was referred by a few people to tattoolicious & I was not disappointed! Super helpful & friendly staff, best customer service & very clean environment. The tattoo artist Mike Russell did an amazing job on both my tattoos!! I will definitely be back for more!!

Fantastic experience: I felt very welcoming I had great customer service from "Tina" I believe her name front desk, she greet me with such beautiful smile as I came in The atmosphere of that shop is very good and I love the artist Michael, who did my tattoo he did a phenomenal job, when I come back to Hawaii will get more tattoos!! This made my vacation a vacation I love it!!!

Fantastic experience: I had an excellent experience at Tattoolicious. The shop was clean, professional, and had a welcoming atmosphere. My artist, Huevo, was incredible—helpful, talented, and very fast. He brought my tattoo idea to life perfectly, scaling it to fit the time frame I needed without compromising the design. I couldn’t be happier with the result. If you’re looking for a top-tier tattoo experience, I highly recommend Huevo and the team at Tattoolicious!

Fantastic experience: Huevo is awesome! I have two tattoos from him, and I love them both. I'll definitely be back again. Thanks so much!

Fantastic experience: Recently took a trip to Honolulu with my husband and last minute decided we wanted to take a piece of Hawaii home with us. It was a bucket list item and we had the best experience. The lady at the front was the best, she didn’t just set us up with a random artist. She understood what we were wanting and our vibes, set us up with artist that were skilled and matched our personalities. For me, the artist she knew would match was off and they worked out him coming back in. My artist was Lai, look him up on insta tattooist_lai, and he free sketched the design on me. He stayed after hours just to make sure my dream came true! No regrets at all! This was also super affordable. If anyone is thinking about getting their first tattoo, another new piece or touch up’s, DO IT! You won’t regret this location. Also want to add, as a gay man, I don’t always find shops to feel safe, however this shop passes the vibe! We both felt so comfortable/ no judgement zone.

Fantastic experience: In a mere 3 hours Keith worked his incredible magic and I left with the most beautiful elephant tattoo. His attention to detail is second to none and he works efficiently to minimize your table time. Truly a master, I am so grateful to have found him. The studio itself is the most impressive tattoo parlor I have ever been in and everyone is so gracious and welcoming. Thank you, I’ll be back!

Fantastic experience: Every member of the Tattoolicious team was friendly, kind and professional. The studio was clean, spacious and comfortable. Andy King did a fabulous job of giving my old tattoo new life, making the color even more beautiful than the original. I would highly recommend this studio to anyone looking for high quality art.

Fantastic experience: I got tattooed by Mike while in town and I’d highly recommend him. He’s not heavy handed and he works fast yet so efficient. He was as excited to do this piece as I was to receive it which made for a professional and joyful experience. Will travel back to get tattooed again.

Fantastic experience: Adriaan spoke with me in a consult prior to the process. This was my first tattoo which I was hesitant in going forward with. He was gentle, kind and honest in what he could achieve on my older skin. I couldn't be happier with the result. The ambience of the salon was quiet, clean, tattoo artists working on 4 other people, giving me the confidence I needed through this process. A big, thank you to Adriaan for his patience and kindness and creativity .

Fantastic experience: Tommy was PHENOMENAL at bringing our idea to life. He worked us in between our tight schedule and had us out in time to make it to our next event, all the while maintaining the high quality of his work. We are leaving Hawai’i with a token of our memories that we will cherish forever!

Fantastic experience: We got our first tattoo here, and it was an excellent experience. We are very happy with the results. The atmosphere was comfy, and the place was clean and hygienic. Andy did an amazing job! Thank you—we can definitely recommend this place!!!

Fantastic experience: This is my second tattoo, and given that my first tattoo was when I was 19 and now I'm 31 it has been many a moon so I was a little worried. The experience was smooth from scheduling up until the day I got inked. My artist was Chad, and hr was very kind. He changed what I wanted changed on his sketch, he even had an additional idea that I loved. He was accommodating with my schedule when I suddenly was on a time crunch. When I come back to Honolulu, I will definitely be coming back to see Chad. Thank you so much for everything! Aloha!

Fantastic experience: Great experience. They were able to get us in with only 2 days notice. Easy to chat with over the text app on website. Gave very clear instructions on how to get there and where to park. Parking was essentially free minus a couple bucks. Had safe covered garage parking across the street. Front desk staff was kind and inviting. Clean fun shop. 2 thumbs up.

Fantastic experience: I had an amazing experience at tattoolicious! I came in without an appointment and luckily was able to meet with an artist right away. Everyone was super friendly and welcoming and my tattoo artist came up with a design that I absolutely loved!

Fantastic experience: Tattoolicious is my favorite tattoo shop I’ve ever been to. We came upon it on our last trip to Honolulu in 2022, and my sister and I both were able to get tattoos done sort of last minute. The staff worked with us to schedule appointments with artists we liked that also fit our schedule. My tattoo done by Keith is my favorite one I have on my body. I felt safe and comfortable in this shop and everything is exceptionally clean. I’ve been waiting for the opportunity to come back and get more work done since then, and will be getting more work done by Keith this week. I am also flying back to Honolulu in 2 weeks to get additional work done by Bronson. This is the type of shop and the high quality artists you should travel for. If anyone I know is ever in Honolulu and is looking to get a tattoo, I always recommend Tattoolicious. Everyone who works here is incredible - both friendly and talented. If you’re wanting work done, this is the only place to go!

Fantastic experience: Tattoolicious Mel Devin Keith Vacation planned a couple of month ago to visit Oahu for the first time. Also, have been looking for a quality artist for my next piece; a tribute to my mother who passed last year. I found Tattoolicious online and read some reviews then made a phone call. Mel was the first to pickup and was there along the way through making an introduction to Devin, helping with last minute questions I had before I arrived and even being available when I couldn’t find the parking garage that they validate for. Devin listened to my thoughts about my piece and recommended an artist named Keith; who’s been in the game for over 25 years. Keith and I met the day before our scheduled time to discuss a couple of details and then it was on! Keith got to work and laid out my most meaningful piece so far and did it with such a light hand that my wife; who was watching, is now thinking about getting one from Keith next year when we come back! Ty to the entire Tattoolicious Team and Ty to Keith for staying awake! Hahaha inside joke

Fantastic experience: Booked in with Tommy for tonight he did a small flower for me last year as a walk in. I was so happy he was still there. I sent him a picture of what I wanted to add to the original one he did last year. WOW! I even got emotional when he finished. Way better than the picture I sent him. His attention to detail is incredible! I will be back again next year when we visit Hawaii. Tommy from the bottom of my heart Thank You! Thank You! Your an amazing artist!

Fantastic experience: If you visit Hawaii and have $200 and skin, get a tattoo and take the memory of Hawaii home with you!

Fantastic experience: I recently booked with Keith at Tattoolicious. I love what he has created for others, especially his traditional work. I told him the gist of what I wanted in consultation a few weeks earlier, and he designed a beautiful piece. I could not have asked for a better experience. I’m already booked with Keith for my next tattoo. Fairly priced, especially when you account for the professional facilities and location. Tina and Mel, at front desk, are super friendly and squared away.

Positive experience: I did a consultation weeks in advance, but the artist swapped me to another artist last minute without any time for me to adjust what work needed to be done or the prep to get the art I wanted. I was happy with the final result, but it felt rushed and isn't exactly the art design I was hoping for.

Fantastic experience: Andy did an outstanding job! Devin made it so easy to plan out my appt, considering I wasn't sure when exactly I would be available due to work. The way they do business is perfect and stream-lined! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Traveled from Illinois, and was not disappointed. The staff was great at working with me via email prior to my trip. Once we got there, we were greeted by Tina at front desk. She was super nice and helpful. My artist ,Mike, was very easygoing and professional. The tattoo came out beautifully. I highly recommend Tattoolicious if you're looking to get tattooed while in Hawaii.

Fantastic experience: Tattoo is beautiful. When I called to see if they could take me as a walk in they let me know and called me multiple times to give me updates on availability. Tattoo was painless and over in less that 30mins. Update:I wanted to wait a few years (5yrs to be exact) before really giving an honest review. For a first tattoo I couldnt have gone anywhere better. The shop was extremely open and clean, both tattoos I got and the matching hooves my mom got that day healed wonderfully considering location of them (wrist and top of foot) with only minor ink rejection to the one on my wrist. The tattoo artist I had (forgot his name, but hes from peru) was extremely nice and non judgmental to the tattoo I was asking for. Not to mention how nice and personable the other artists there were! If I lived closer this would 100% be a regular shop for me. 100/10 would be back again!

Fantastic experience: I have been here twice to work with Andy King, first time in 2020 and the second just yesterday (june 2024) and I can’t recommend him enough! Pays close attention to detail, quick, friendly, creative, everything you look for in an artist. The shop is super cool, very clean, the set up is neat, they play GREAT music, has a coffee shop attached, and the entire staff is super friendly, as I said I can’t recommend Andy enough but any artist you choose to go to at this shop will be superb. Shout out to to the front women, Tina and Mel, for your help setting everything up! Can’t wait for next time!

Fantastic experience: I went to this place yesterday as walk in, i felt a bit nervous but all staff ,are so friendly ,they let me making appointment smoothly and the tatoo artist named Adriaan,he gave me a perfect tatoo design and his skill was amazing :) He is super professional,and super nice person. It was beyond my expectations. I'll definitely come back to get another tatoo from him again.

Fantastic experience: Great Shop! Lai, Tony, and Huevo are awesome artists! Make your Vacation more memorable and stop in we had appointments but they do walk-ins.

Negative experience: I did not enjoy writing this review because I love my tattoo artist and I really love all of my tattoos which make me want to keep coming back. I love recommending this shop to others because I am so happy with my tattoos! My tattoo artist is also very kind and I enjoy all my sessions. I definitely rate my tattoos and my artist a 5/5. I have been to Tattoolicious three times. All three times, my tattoo artist has been at least 45 mins late to my appointment. I try my best to give the benefit of the doubt because life happens. Unfortunately this is the 3rd time my artist was very late. I got a confirmation yesterday to confirm my appointment was at 11am. I got in later at 11:30 am because I had a feeling my artist would be late again and I would just have to wait an hour for my appt. My artist still was not there when I showed up and I was already late… then the receptionist told me that the artist mistaken my appointment for 1pm. I was confused on how this could have happened especially since I did receive a confirmation for my appointment via voicemail the day before for 11am. This shows my appointment was in the Tattoolicious schedule system. Either there is a lack of communication between the receptionist and artist or something else is going on. I went to the front to check if my artist was there at 12:50pm and she still was not. I was hoping there would be at least some urgency to come in a little earlier since my artist had made a mistake for the timing of my appointment. I decided to leave because I was very upset, and her not being there at 12:50 means I would have to wait again(past 1pm) for her to setup her equipment. This was such a waste of time and money since I drove back and forth from Kapolei. The least I got was validation for my parking which I still had to pay since the validation was not enough. Customer service rating: 1/5 It is honestly inconsiderate of my time and schedule. What makes me even more disappointed is that the tattoo shop keeps letting this happen and only apologizes for it. Apologizing and not doing anything for customers is not sincere. As a paying customer, I should not be the only one on time for my appointment, my tattoo artist should be ready. If this is something that keeps happening, I should at least be compensated or at least receive a discount which I have not received what so ever. This saddens me because again, I love the tattoos I have gotten from this place.

Fantastic experience: Everyone here is incredibly friendly, professional, and capable of providing you with the ideal tattoo experience. My artist was Z and she worked with me on designing an amazing and gorgeous piece that blew my expectations out of the water with some of the most intricate line work I've ever seen.

Fantastic experience: I was struck by the beauty of Hawaii. I hadn't gotten a tattoo since 2018, but I really wanted to get one to signify this trip and the beauty and happiness I experienced. After doing some research, I found Andy at Tattoolicious. We had a "meet and greet" where I showed him what I liked and what style I did not like. I left it with him, and he said he would send me some premlimary drawings. After he sent me the drawings, he was very easy to work with and to adjust any input I had. Once I decided on a final drawing, Andy got to work. He was so focused and invested in his work. I could tell that his work was so important to him and he was completely in a zone. The term is cliche, but Andy " understood the assignment." During the 5.5 hour process, I felt completely comfortable and if I had any desire to change positions or take a break, he would have been more then happy to do so. I'm beyond excited with the final product!!!!! He is beyond talented and his work shows that!!!

Fantastic experience: Loved it here for the 1 hour I was there. Got a small plumeria flower to commemorate my trip to Hawaii. I have a number of tattoos and feel somewhat qualified to say that Huevo is an awesome artist. As for Tattoolicious, the place was clean and the building was nice inside. The shop felt welcoming too. The receptionist was really kind as well.

Fantastic experience: Was visiting Oahu on vacation and was looking to add to my mountain tattoo I already had. Communication between their consulting team and the front desk for scheduling was easy and prompt. They helped match with me an artist (Tommy) for the style I was looking for. We had a consult about a week before my appt. On appt day he had a drawing of what we talked about ready and was open to my suggestions and questions before we finalized the design. My new tattoo is beautiful and so happy I got to work with Tommy.

Fantastic experience: Worked with Andy on my tattoo. He's such a calm presence, worked so well collaboratively, and made sure that I knew he was willing to take the time to make changes to the piece he created for me. I have 4 tattoos so far, and the lotus he did is my favorite. The whole experience was amazing. The atmosphere and other artists and staff truly make you feel welcome. I can't wait to go back to expand on another piece I already have.

Fantastic experience: Beyond satisfied! About a month ago, when our pet rabbit Dewey died, I reached out to Tattoolicious because we had a trip to Hawaii coming up, and I desperately wanted to get a memorial tattoo while I was here. Jenna was absolutely lovely to deal with by email from abroad and got us both booked in for appointments. Molina, an amazing guest artist, did this tattoo, and the work speaks for itself. It's absolutely phenomenal and worth every penny. I can't stop looking at it and crying about the symbology. I trusted that the reviews were so high for a reason, and you should too. I feel honored and lucky to have been worked on by you, Molina. Thank you, Jenna. You really pulled through for us and didn't disappoint. 6-star!

Fantastic experience: The shop was extremely well kept and beautiful. I didn't get any pictures but it was a dark industrial theme. Loved it. Our tattoo artist was Andy and he did a great job. He was great at explaining the process and talking if you wanted to during the tattoo. I would recommend this shop. We went while on vacation and I would go again if we go on vacation to Honolulu again.

Fantastic experience: LOVE my tattoo done by Chad. He was very patient with me, made a few awesome suggestions, and made sure I liked the placement. He was also soft handed so not much pain! I took a nap while being tattooed! This establishment is clean! AC blowing and enjoyable!

Fantastic experience: I couldn't say enough about my experience at Tattoolicious. Michael Russell (@Mistahrussell) did an amazing job on my tattoo. If you have any doubt about getting a tattoo at this place, don't. They are good, knowledgeable, and friendly. If I get another tattoo in the future, I will be back! Remember, cheap tattoos aren't good, and good tattoos aren't cheap. FYI, they really aren't bad on their prices. Thank you again for a great experience!

Fantastic experience: Huevo was amazing and did such a phenomenal job with our tattoos! Very reasonably priced and did a great job bringing our vision to life. Huevo was such a shining light of a personality too, we had such a fun experience during our session. We will definitely be back!

Fantastic experience: I posted in a facebook group I’m in about tattoo places on the island, and this one got raving reviews!! Someone said she had Keith do her tattoo which was very similar to the one I wanted. I booked the consultation, got a call, confirmed what I wanted and booked with Keith. I gave him a general idea and Keith did a truly amazing job!! IMy piece is in memory of my mom (who passed a year ago on Oct 5th) and celebrating her was why we chose to come to Hawaii. I wanted a destination piece with a sea turtle that had her birth stone colors in it that also represented her and I couldn’t be happier! It truly came out better than I envisioned. I will not stop recommending this place! The image on paper was what I sent them, but I wanted it to be done however he interpreted it! Get the tattoo and you won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: My husband and I wanted matching tattoos and Thank God we found Tommy at this shop. Super easy to schedule an get our appointment set. We got a Beautiful set of matching rose tattoos with our wedding date in Roman numerals what an amazing way to end our vacation we would literally travel back to Oahu to have Tommy do our tattoos again! We Loved our experience with Tommy God bless him

Fantastic experience: My wife and I got matching roses with our wedding date by Tommy and we LOVE THEM. Couldn’t be happier with how they turned out! Tommy is a great guy to talk to super down to earth ! We will 100 percent be back to see Tommy and get more work done. Best artist in Hawaii no doubt! God bless Tommy!

Fantastic experience: Amazing shot with friendly staff and amazing artists. Best tattoo I've ever gotten. The studio is clean and very well organized with ample room for each artist.

Fantastic experience: While on our honeymoon, my wife and I decided to stop by and get a souvenir to last a lifetime; matching tattoos. Mike aka mistahrussel made us feel at home and did an amazing job on our pieces. Comfortable and up to date environment and fair prices. Kudos to the whole shop! If we’re ever back in Hawaii we plan to go back.

Positive experience: Went here to get a matching tattoo with my mom and sister for our vacation. Very grateful they were able to get us on the schedule with about a 2 week notice. Sebastian huevo was our artist and deserves a 5 star, it was such a comfortable experience. He was also such a naturally funny guy and his work is clean and well detailed! The only problem I had with the shop was the lack of communication. When scheduling with Devin he had suggested Dr Will for a fine line tattoo knowing our budget was $100-150. When scheduling I was under the impression this was the artist doing the tattoo, but when we got there I found out his minimum was $300 and that he wasn’t there. I am still grateful for who we we’re scheduled with, but in the future I think their communication needs to be more thought through. Overall thank you so much huevo! My mom hasn’t gotten a tattoo in a long time and you made our experience so much fun together :)

Fantastic experience: Making an appointment was easy and the help to find the right assist for my tattoo idea was great! Devin was very helpful. Huevo did my tattoo and he was amazing! Fun to talk to and kind. Incredibly talented. I’m excited for my next appointment with him to finish my sleeve.

Fantastic experience: My experience with Tattoo Lucious was amazing and awesome, but it started before I even took my first step into the shop! I emailed a month before my appointment and Devon did a great job pairing me up with a suitable artist for my preferred style. Devon was thorough with my tattoo requests, consultation and sitting times and dates...he also had great followup to reconfirm my appointments were set. The entire booking was stress-free with no issues. My artist, Andy was incredible. During the consult, he listened to my requests. The following day for my tattoo, he presented me with an authentic and beautiful rendition...an original piece of art! Mahalo nui!
