I had the luxury of having Kevin tattoo me. He went above and beyond my expectations and I would recommend him 10/10 times. I actually contacted him via yelp as I wanted to get something to commemorate this trip. I contacted him just a few days before and he went out of his way to get me in. I was ecstatic once I realized he himself had taken the time to draw something up based on a few thoughts I had. The shop was clean, professional and a great atmosphere all around. In witnessed 3 pieces being done by 3 different artists I'd be happy to go to any of them!Don't go anywhere else if on Oahu unless it's Kevin's other shop on the other side of the island! Read Less

Will get a tattoo here every time I visit Hawaii! We were visiting and wanted to get tattoos on the trip and scheduled appointments to come in same day and everyone was so nice! The prices aren't bad and we were all happy with our tattoos! You so have to pay a $40 deposit to hold the appointment which does go towards the cost of your tattoo. Read Less

Kevin did an amazing job on my hibiscus and plumeria tattoo on my right foot!  He was a pleasure to talk to and very gentle with his work!  Not my first tattoo but I was so nervous about getting it done on top of my foot because I heard it is so painful.  Kevin was very experienced and took his time to make sure it was how I wanted it.  I may come back for future work to be down with him when I'm Honolulu area again.  Thanks Kevin!!

My sister in law and i were on a quick girls only trip. This was my 1st time in Hawaii and since we only had 1 day left i started checking out tattoo shops on yelp. This place stood to me for some reason so we go in. I've had a tatt of a flower on my back tht was never finished. Daniel is the artist tht helped me and I'm SUPER HAPPY it was him. I went in telling myself I was just going to see what kind of vibe I would get frm a artist to determine if I was actually gonna go for it. I WENT FOR IT!!!  DANIEL is amazing! I LOVE MY NEW TATTOO the detail is on point. I look forward to coming back to get more work frm him. I WILL be back Read Less

I was in Hawaii visiting a friend and got the spontaneous idea to get a tattoo to wrap up my trip. I stumbled upon this shop through yelp and after a quick visit, I had set up an appointment for the following day (deposit is needed to make appointment, cash only). I came in with an idea and picture in mind, and my tattoo artist, George, transformed it and made it even better. I absolutely loved the way my tattoo came out! George was super friendly and very professional as well. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience. Will definitely stop by again if I am visiting and looking to get a tattoo. Read Less

I came here for my VERY FIRST tattoo for my 18th birthday while on vacation with my best friends. I looked up this place on yelp and they had amazing reviews. I booked an appointment through the phone and they were very accommodating to our schedule!! I came here for my tattoo at around 8PM. When walking in the store, it was very small and homey! They employees made us super comfortable and cracked many jokes LOL. They took the time to listen to our ideas and personalized a tattoo just for us!! SHOUTOUT TO DANIEL for being an amazing tattoo artist!!!! I got it on my ribs which is one of the most painful spots to get a tattoo but IT WAS LITERALLY PAINLESS!!!!!! He used a silencer on the tattoo gun as well so I couldn't hear a sound! I definitely recommend this spot to anyone on vacation in Hawai'i that is looking for a spontaneous tattoo!!!! 5/5 Read Less

Got my first tattoo done here 6 months ago. It healed really well and I'm so happy with the results. They confused me with another client and so they weren't prepared for me, but it was so last minute that it's understandable. They can work with you and are accommodating with the schedule. My tattoo and the sketching took roughly 2 hours to complete, I got a flower that I'm in love with. The guy I was with, can't remember who, didn't talk to me and basically ignored me through the whole process. He also didn't provide me with any aftercare information. It was pricier than expected for a medium sized black and white piece. Am very happy with the results but would have gone either with someone else here or a different shop if I had known this would have been my reception. Read Less

Me and my friend both got 2 tattoos each this afternoon with Mike Davis. For me, it was tattoos 3 and 4 and I couldn't have asked for a better experience from booking the appointment to actually getting the tattoo. When we arrived at the shop Mike greeted us and we showed him what we wanted. He was prompt, friendly, and made us both feel very comfortable throughout the whole process. The shop is clean, in a great location, and all equipment was sterile. I would highly recommend this shop to anyone who is looking to get a tattoo while visiting Oahu. My only note is to bring cash as they prefer you pay in cash (there is an atm at the shop) and the shop minimum is actually $80 their website hasn't been changed in awhile I guess. Read Less

By far the worse tattoo shop experience I've EVER had.  I decided to walk in and get a quote for a tattoo I had in mind. The guy there in which I don't remember his name (light skinned, colored eyes and a flipped up mustache)was so rude and not helpful at all. Not only did I think he was rude but my son who was with me thought the exact same thing. I'm not from the area and thought, leaving with a tattoo would be nice. Wow, was I wrong.

My husband and I stopped in on a whim and were initially turned off by the day staff. They seemed dismissive of our wanting work done and quoted us double what the artist actually charged us. I have ink, so I knew the quote was super high and as such we left. I KNEW based on reviews that this experience was unique so we came back at night when new artists would likey be there and we are super glad we did. First, if you check in on Yelp you receive 10% Off. I don't know if that's specific to this shop, but it was a nice gesture. Daniel was our artist and not only is he talented as heck, he's friendly, has great conversation and was more than deserving of being the artist he is. The other artist, Mike I believe, was also in working and was great too. While there both tourists and locals came in and were treated great. As a matter of fact, a lady who happened to be getting work the first time we came in had to come back because what she wanted wasn't what she got. Daniel fixed it as well. Note: cash only; there are two ATMs nearby. One on the shop, one right outside. If you want to secure an appointment its a $40 charge. Read Less

Let me start by saying Vince is amazing. I wanted to have an 5-year old tattoo on my shoulder expanded with a 'Polynesian turtle' motif. After a few text messages exchanged with Daniel, I booked an appointment with Vince. First off, the atmosphere in the shop is relaxed and friendly. Both Daniel and Vince are super cool. Vince immediately got what I wanted from him, and he started sketching a design with marker. I have to say, he pretty much nailed it on the first try. Afterwards, the actual tattoo session was relaxed and time flew by. I am very happy with my new and improved tattoo. Would highly recommend Vince, and Sacred Art Tattoo in general. Read Less

We definitely got more than we were expecting when we called in late on a Sunday and needed some custom artwork done! They got us in and out with exactly what we were after! Jake and Mike took care of my boyfriend and I on our impromptu "date night" tattoo. Jake captured the essence of the "Queen Bee" look we were hoping for, with the perfect amount of detail and personalizations! Mike hooked me up with the a silhouette Trex, with sharp teeth, talons, and tail ridges! It came out absolutely perfect! MAHALO Sacred Art Tattoo! We will be back ;) Read Less

I was in Makaha on vacation and looked around all over Oahu for a parlor. I found this one online and it had great reviews and a lot of artists. I insta-stalked all the artists and fell in love with Daniel's work. He and I went back and forth via text (which was SUPER convenient), I sent pictures of what I wanted and we chatted a bit about dates. Once settled, I paid my deposit and was all set. The parlor is small but clean and has a fun atmosphere. Daniel's work was thorough, relaxed, and one of the best tattoo experiences I've had. His art is amazing, his technique is on point and I would fly back to Oahu just to have him do my next pieces. You won't be disappointed and my new tattoo is AMAZING!!!!!!! Obsessed. Read Less

I literally get stopped with so many compliments on my work that it can be annoying at times, but the detail and shading on my pieces are so AMAZING that it's truly a show stopper. Could not be happier. Tattoos hurt and the process sucks, but having an artist like Chris who helped me plan my sleeve, custom designed each piece based on exactly what I wanted, and was super cool to talk to the entire time made the experience awesome over all. I cannot recommend him enough.The only thing that sucks is that this Waikiki location does not have good parking options, but sometimes I got lucky with street parking nearby. Either way, it was 100% worth it for my tattoos that I will love for life. Little Chris is the man!!!!! Read Less

i got my very first piercing here and it went bye so quickly. I got a belly button piercing and it was very fast and let me say the dude who pierced me told me to breath in and out and it really helped. I just knew i was gonna cry lol or even pass out... i am that dramatic hahaha but it was super easy. I would say the pain is about a 3 maybe and i hate needles so i was surprised. The piercer even told me how to take of my piercing and even talked me into thinking about getting a tattoo in the future. Believe it or not he even said he hates needles but is covered in tattoos lol definitely recommend Read Less

Got my first tattoo at Sacred Art with Tomo and am so happy I did!  The guys in the shop were so friendly and helpful, which really made me so much more secure with my decision to get my first tattoo. Tomo is an extremely talented artist, he sketched a beautiful design for my tattoo off the top of his head, and was very patient with my requests for sizing changes and design tweaks to make it really mine. I never felt rushed or pressured by anyone who worked in the shop, and everyone seemed genuinely invested in making sure I was happy with my tattoo. After all, a tattoo is a lifelong commitment! Thank you Sacred Art and Tomo!!!! Read Less

Okay so this tattoo shop is the shit! I'm here in Oahu for partially a vacation and partially just coming back to where I was born. I wanted to get a tattoo and I found this shop the first night I got in! It was meant to be. I spoke to Mike and then came back 3 days later which is today. Mike did my tattoo and he is just the nicest most chill guy ever. I showed him a reference pic of what I wanted which was a turtle ( he is the turtle king) and from there he started doing a rough draft of the tat and then I gave him the okay to do whatever he wanted with it. He made it look more realistic then he reference pic, added some white in it and a few bubbles. I love the damn tattoo! I got the piece on my foot so obviously it hurt like a bitch BUT Mike has very gentle hands so you are safe. Please go to this shop! The music, the artist,the everything is great. P.S. we even named the turtle but that is between Mike and I!! Read Less

I wanted a permanent reminder of my visit to Hawaii and the staff was really quick to return my yelp inquiry. The answers were straightforward and I was offered a consultation even if they were booked. My consultation helped me decide on a totally custom and symbolic tattoo that perfectly summed up my trip (as well as how I got to this point in my life). They told me an ankle band would be painful but it wasn't quite as bad as I expected. The staff joked and had fun even though my "ankle jerk" reflex wanted to continually show up. Three hours later and after closing time I was completely satisfied. And, the tattoo cost less than I budgeted!Highly, highly recommend based on quality, creativity and price. I had work done from 4 Texas studios so there's a legitimate basis of comparison. Read Less

My best friends and I came in here the same day for 3 (different) tattoos to take home from our vacation in Oahu. I am always a nervous wreck when it comes to needles, especially tattoos. I got blessed with Mike Hatfield as my artist and I wouldn't have had it any other way. He took the idea I had and ran with it. I was unsure about placement and was very set on having it on a certain side of my body. Mike took all the extra time and even went to the neighboring ABC store to get me some water since it was clear that I was very nervous. As I laid on the table, he wasn't a heavy handed artist, and was very fast. Accurate and beautiful & fast. Hard to find in an artist, especially one who is in a tourist city and would (I assume), treat customers like another fast sale. No. I felt so special and taken care of, and made sure I was nothing short of 1000% satisfied. Even replaced the stencil 5 times because I wasn't sure, and took numerous breaks just to make the process less nerve wracking and painful for me. As I'm writing my review, I wish I was a resident here because I would see Mike for more pieces, nervous or not. Very highly recommended! Thank you, Mike! Pics to come soon!- Nicole from California.

They confused me with another client and so they weren't prepared for me, but it was so last minute that it's understandable. They can work with you and are accommodating with the schedule.

The guy I was with, can't remember who, didn't talk to me and basically ignored me through the whole process. He also didn't provide me with any aftercare information. It was pricier than expected for a medium sized black and white piece. Am very happy with the results but would have gone either with someone else here or a different shop if I had known this would have been my reception. Read Less

I showed up pretty last minute looking for an appointment for the day that I was leaving, they had no problem squeezing me in. Daniel did a hibiscus flower on my upper arm and I have to say it's my favourite piece I have on my body. The entire staff in the shop were all around great. I didn't have any plans for coming back to Honolulu but after my appointment at sacred art, now I know I'll definitely be back. Thanks for the positive experience guys! Read Less

Me and my friend both got 2 tattoos each this afternoon with Mike Davis. For me, it was tattoos 3 and 4 and I couldn't have asked for a better experience from booking the appointment to actually getting the tattoo. When we arrived at the shop Mike greeted us and we showed him what we wanted. He was prompt, friendly, and made us both feel very comfortable throughout the whole process. The shop is clean, in a great location, and all equipment was sterile. I would highly recommend this shop to anyone who is looking to get a tattoo while visiting Oahu. My only note is to bring cash as they prefer you pay in cash (there is an atm at the shop) and the shop minimum is actually $80 their website hasn't been changed in awhile I guess. Read Less

By far the worse tattoo shop experience I've EVER had.  I decided to walk in and get a quote for a tattoo I had in mind. The guy there in which I don't remember his name (light skinned, colored eyes and a flipped up mustache)was so rude and not helpful at all.

My husband and I stopped in on a whim and were initially turned off by the day staff. They seemed dismissive of our wanting work done and quoted us double what the artist actually charged us. I have ink, so I knew the quote was super high and as such we left. I KNEW based on reviews that this experience was unique so we came back at night when new artists would likey be there and we are super glad we did. First, if you check in on Yelp you receive 10% Off. I don't know if that's specific to this shop, but it was a nice gesture. Daniel was our artist and not only is he talented as heck, he's friendly, has great conversation and was more than deserving of being the artist he is. The other artist, Mike I believe, was also in working and was great too. While there both tourists and locals came in and were treated great. As a matter of fact, a lady who happened to be getting work the first time we came in had to come back because what she wanted wasn't what she got. Daniel fixed it as well. Note: cash only; there are two ATMs nearby. One on the shop, one right outside. If you want to secure an appointment its a $40 charge. Read Less

Let me start by saying Vince is amazing. I wanted to have an 5-year old tattoo on my shoulder expanded with a 'Polynesian turtle' motif. After a few text messages exchanged with Daniel, I booked an appointment with Vince. First off, the atmosphere in the shop is relaxed and friendly. Both Daniel and Vince are super cool. Vince immediately got what I wanted from him, and he started sketching a design with marker. I have to say, he pretty much nailed it on the first try. Afterwards, the actual tattoo session was relaxed and time flew by. I am very happy with my new and improved tattoo. Would highly recommend Vince, and Sacred Art Tattoo in general. Read Less

I insta-stalked all the artists and fell in love with Daniel's work. He and I went back and forth via text (which was SUPER convenient), I sent pictures of what I wanted and we chatted a bit about dates. Once settled, I paid my deposit and was all set. The parlor is small but clean and has a fun atmosphere. Daniel's work was thorough, relaxed, and one of the best tattoo experiences I've had.

Sacred Art is a great shop, but this review is really about one of their artists, Little Chris. He is truly the best tattoo artist on Oahu. His work is so phenomenal and his talent is absolutely unreal, plus he's such a nice and humble guy. I did SIX sessions with him to complete the sleeve on my arm and he did such an awesome job. I literally get stopped with so many compliments on my work that it can be annoying at times, but the detail and shading on my pieces are so AMAZING that it's truly a show stopper. Could not be happier. Tattoos hurt and the process sucks, but having an artist like Chris who helped me plan my sleeve, custom designed each piece based on exactly what I wanted, and was super cool to talk to the entire time made the experience awesome over all. I cannot recommend him enough.The only thing that sucks is that this Waikiki location does not have good parking options, but sometimes I got lucky with street parking nearby. Either way, it was 100% worth it for my tattoos that I will love for life. Little Chris is the man!!!!! Read Less

I've wanted a Tahitian tattoo for years now, and wanted to make sure I got one while in Hawaii. After some confusion at the shop, Tomo took care of me and helped me design my tattoo. I'm so happy with the final outcome. He helped me understand why things would look good where. He's also made sure to keep in touch while the tattoo is healing. Everyone was friendly while I was there and very helpful. Next time I'm in Hawaii I'd definitely go back for another. Tomo is great! Thanks so much again! I'm in love with my new ink Read Less

Okay so this tattoo shop is the shit! I'm here in Oahu for partially a vacation and partially just coming back to where I was born. I wanted to get a tattoo and I found this shop the first night I got in! It was meant to be. I spoke to Mike and then came back 3 days later which is today. Mike did my tattoo and he is just the nicest most chill guy ever. I showed him a reference pic of what I wanted which was a turtle ( he is the turtle king) and from there he started doing a rough draft of the tat and then I gave him the okay to do whatever he wanted with it. He made it look more realistic then he reference pic, added some white in it and a few bubbles. I love the damn tattoo! I got the piece on my foot so obviously it hurt like a bitch BUT Mike has very gentle hands so you are safe. Please go to this shop! The music, the artist,the everything is great. P.S. we even named the turtle but that is between Mike and I!! Read Less

Stopped in to get a 10th anniversary tattoo with my husband. The staff here were extremely kind and welcoming. Kevin M did my tattoo and he was quick and efficient. He is everything I look for in a tattoo artist. (I wish he could do all my tattoos!) I got an ankle tattoo and he made it pretty painless. I would give 100 stars if I could. I couldn't recommend this place enough! Thank you! Read Less

Just recently got a tattoo done by Daniel and it came out amazing! I like his style and great personality, the vibe in the shop got me feeling like i was a local in Hawaii. I had a busy schedule all week with wedding preparation and family bonding but Daniel was able to work with my schedule great flexibility! I recommend this shop if you're here for vacation and want a tattoo asap. It was so close to my hotel it couldn't be more convenient for me. And pricing was very reasonable and affordable. They all do great work and have nothing but good vibes to offer. Thank you very much again Daniel for squeezing me in and working with my schedule and your work is dope bro! Mahalo Read Less

I wanted a permanent reminder of my visit to Hawaii and the staff was really quick to return my yelp inquiry. The answers were straightforward and I was offered a consultation even if they were booked. My consultation helped me decide on a totally custom and symbolic tattoo that perfectly summed up my trip (as well as how I got to this point in my life). They told me an ankle band would be painful but it wasn't quite as bad as I expected. The staff joked and had fun even though my "ankle jerk" reflex wanted to continually show up. Three hours later and after closing time I was completely satisfied. And, the tattoo cost less than I budgeted!Highly, highly recommend based on quality, creativity and price. I had work done from 4 Texas studios so there's a legitimate basis of comparison. Read Less

My best friends and I came in here the same day for 3 (different) tattoos to take home from our vacation in Oahu. I am always a nervous wreck when it comes to needles, especially tattoos. I got blessed with Mike Hatfield as my artist and I wouldn't have had it any other way. He took the idea I had and ran with it. I was unsure about placement and was very set on having it on a certain side of my body. Mike took all the extra time and even went to the neighboring ABC store to get me some water since it was clear that I was very nervous. As I laid on the table, he wasn't a heavy handed artist, and was very fast. Accurate and beautiful & fast. Hard to find in an artist, especially one who is in a tourist city and would (I assume), treat customers like another fast sale. No. I felt so special and taken care of, and made sure I was nothing short of 1000% satisfied. Even replaced the stencil 5 times because I wasn't sure, and took numerous breaks just to make the process less nerve wracking and painful for me. As I'm writing my review, I wish I was a resident here because I would see Mike for more pieces, nervous or not. Very highly recommended! Thank you, Mike! Pics to come soon!- Nicole from California.

I wouldn't trust anyone else. Daniel has done my first two, and I couldn't be happier. I have a third one planned next. He was very professional and guided me through the process, since I didn't really know how it all works. You can't really put a price on art, so whatever I paid was worth every penny.

I'm really disappointed, I did a tattoo in August 2016 and only two months later, part of the tattoo was erased. I contacted them and I had a person who was sorry for me and offered to refund me $ 50. Since no news we have made various exchanges in writing and it is nobody there ever done anything for me so do not go. It was that I was really important to me as well as where it was made (hawaii). Response to Kevin : I give you four times ,the number of credit card ,and what you asking me ( on Facebook messenger) Doesn't matter now. I return on a tattoo shop for the erase part. Read Less

My boyfriend and I were on vacation and this shop was recommended by a coworker(from cali), so we decided to spontaneously walk in to check out some art work. Tomo was the only one in the shop (1/8/17) when we've arrived, with a couple of in and out customers making appointments. Lucky, Tomo wasn't busy when I decided to get a tattoo on the spot.I've been insecure with my scar right under my bellybutton so where else would I want it?This scar cover up is one of the best decisions I've made and I'm glad I was able to work with Tomo.  He is very passionate with his art and takes his time to perfectly line and shade the proper places. Bravo and Thank you, Tomo.You and your crew are wonderful! Read Less

I have always wanted to add to my collection for years now. I decided to get two Japanese symbols. I got Power and Spirit which represents who I am.I forgot the young man's name who did my tatto. I am bad with names but he did an excellent job.it took him only an hour to do both of them. His technique was not painful at all.
