Did Hajichi Okinawan tattoo with Bee, recommended by a friend. She is one of the few here who does Hajichi. Highly recommend Bee! She is so nice and very knowledgeable and made sure I was satisfied with placement and details. Made me and my friend I brought, very relaxed and talked story with us, she is friendly and open to your ideas, let me know what she was doing and going through the processes, explained and assured me of results and aftercare. She shared her stories with us and very relatable. Her tattoo area is small but cozy, clean and I am def going to get my next tat with her! I like her style! Check out her IG @beehappytattoos she's awesome. She validates parking in the Samsung plaza across the street from Walmart. Take the stairs above kickin Cajun and across from a nail salon. read more

Few things from my experience: -Lee is incredibly talented, professional, humble, and a good-hearted family man. -Military friendly and well-priced -Runs a beautiful shop and you can tell his staff are like family to him, just shows the kind of respect he has. -Never felt uncomfortable once, also, the healing process on the tattoo went beautifully. -If you have a hard time trusting new people, you won't have to worry about that too much here. I felt welcomed and at ease the whole time. -Can't wait to finish my full-sleeve! read more

Chris aka Pinzy is literally doing my tat as we speak. I've always liked his artwork and needed someone I can trust. Plus the funny personalities of everyone there makes for great jokes to distract me from the tat. I like the location and parking is validated at the shop so I didn't have to hustle for a place to park. The shop is small but clean and minimal which is a plus. I was even offered snacks and that's a double plus in my book because I'm a McFatAss. give this place a shot. read more

Pinzy is the bomb, walked into the shop being open to any artist since all the reviews were pretty high up there but I'm glad I got him. Very easy to talk to and detailed with his work! Came with an idea that I sketched on myself and he brought it to life with a touch of cute lil trinkets. Been dying to find a consistent and reliable tattoo shop that brings in quality without a ridiculous cost like one of the tattoo artist in the expo...... think I've finally found the holy grail of tattoo shops though. Check out their ig, I don't think the yelp photos does any of the artists work justice. Or pop into their shop to get a quote just as I did! I parked in ala Moana as it's a short walk since it's hard to make a left turn if you're driving towards alas during the busy hours. Can't wait to go back again when I get more ideas. read more

I got a watercolor/sketch style rendition of Icarus by Karly. She did an absolutely phenomenal job! She took my vague concept and came up with something absolutely beautiful! She puts thought and care into making the art work with the shape of your body and flow nicely. She's so kind and considerate and truly alleviated a somewhat painful spot to have done. I'm so glad I found this artist and would go back to her in a heartbeat! read more

I got a beautiful tattoo done by Amber. I originally had a rose on my arm but I wasn't too fond of it and wanted to add more around it. I sent a picture to Amber and she sketched a beautiful bouquet for me. Day of my appointment, I came in and Amber showed me her sketch- it was so beautiful! Amber and Pinzy shared a room together and Pinzy is absolutely hilarious! I had so much fun and the laughing took away from the pain. I plan on coming back soon because it was so much fun and I felt like I could be myself there. "10/10 would recommend" read more

Finally got to finish my sleeve that I started a while ago with Lee. I booked an appointment with Lee very short notice because I was coming home for leave. He scheduled me the day after I arrived for a consultation, and actual appointment than following Tuesday. Like the last time I just gave him an idea of what I wanted and he blew my expectations out of the water. Going to Lee I'm never disappointed. That guy is an amazing tattoo artist and comes up with ideas off the top of his head in no time. Lee agreed to do my whole tattoo in one session being that I was only home for a few days. We did the outline and shading in about 6 hours with one break. I'm so thankful to have had the chance to have him finish my tattoo. If you're looking for an amazing artist this is your guy! He's very professional and comfortable to be around. Always grade A work. read more

I gotten referred to go here by a friend as I walk in the atmosphere and art work inside the shop is pretty cool. We get together discussing what I want done pretty soon within a week of scheduling everything out and piecing together what the final picture would be. The customization and drawings were on point.

Super comfy, professional, clean atmosphere. Just what I'd hope for my very first tattoo! Lee somehow already has a vision of what you want in his head. It really only took one description and some reference pictures. I was so nervous the day of but once I saw the design, all doubt dissipated. His work is quick, clean, precise. His customer service is accommodating, comfortable, and he's just straight up awesome. He just knows his shit!! Besides the perfection that is Lee's work, the other artists are friendly and fun. Awesome small space on the second floor above Raging Crab, in the Samsung Plaza on Koreamoku - er, Keeaumoku. Highly highly recommend! read more

It was my first tattoo and the environment in the place was very relaxed and welcoming. I called earlier in the week and ask a good amount of questions and they answered them with patience and ease. I was in contact with Chris aka Pinzy. Got to the shop yesterday and met Chris in person, hes a radical dude! I love him and Lee's vibe, very humorous and makes you feel comfortable. Looking forward to heading back to the shop as long as I'm still on island. Thank you Chris for this awesome tattoo! You really made my birthday celebration one to remember! read more

Awesome shop. Great guys and wicked custom art. I was referred by a friend to Lee Maxwell for a coverup tattoo I wanted to get done. I was looking for a design that was meaningful, beautiful and unique. Undecided on the type of tattoo I wanted, I went to Bespoke with a lot of questions and a lot of different ideas. (Somewhat of a nightmare for artists, I believe.) Throughout the consultation, Lee listened and offered suggestions while being respectful and attentive to the tattoo I was hoping for. He was still consistent even in making sure we were both on the same page when he began drawing out the design. It's been about a month since I've gotten it, and I love my tattoo. Calling my own tattoo awesome is a little odd for me, but I will say that I receive compliments on it every day. Many people comment on the detail. A lot of people love the angle it's at on my arm. The people who have tattoos as well are really impressed that it's a cover-up. There is not one ounce of buyer's remorse with this tattoo. I am completely satisfied with the art and the experience. I would recommend any of my friends to this shop with the knowledge that they will be taken care of and that their self-expression is a priority. There really isn't much online about this new shop, but it's definitely worth stopping by. read more

Came here wanting to get a new tattoo. My old artist closed Down her shop. After reviewing their site and reviews i knew this was the place for me. They thankfully took me in as a walk in right away and i was consulted with Steph. She knew the character i was wanting to get and right away i could tell she couldn't wait to make it awesome! After getting the sketches, made by Steph, transferred i was met by the artist/owner Lee. He couldn't have been any nicer!! He admitted the style i wanted wasnt his forte and wasn't too proud to ask for opinions from Steph. They talked about how to do my tattoo and threw ideas around throughout the entire process which comforted me because I knew what was gonna happen the whole time. Though very painful, i was kept well distracted by hiliarious conversation going between the workers here. They didnt care that i didnt know them they just talked about what they seemed they would regardless. Which was nice because it made me feel less like a stranger. Every person was very laid back and open here. I am SOOOOOO loving my new tatt and i can't wait to be back here for more!!! It came out exactly how he said it would- a more temporary tattoo look. It gives it a cool dynamic to a traditional tatt. Thanks guys!!!! read more

This time the whole fam was IN... when I explained my design concept, both my wife and daughter wanted their own version, still honu themed. da Scene: Determined to get this done done during the 16 day visit back home on Oahu, I did my research early and narrowed it down to 3 spots initially. After some dm's, email exchanges and finally some voice calls, it was Lai @ Tattoo Hawaii who I connected with most, so we scheduled an in-person consult and then our sessions, with 2 days left on our trip - only lost 1 beach day (it was a perfect one too). da Service: Every contact before our session was courteous and replied to promptly. I did have to be insistent on Lai doing our work, even if it meant spanning multiple days. His work on social media and Yelp! most connected with me. At our consult he explained how he would approach my design concept and adapt it to my wife and daughter. Lai was confident he could get us all done in one afternoon/evening session. The shop is tucked away on the 2nd floor of a little building on the corner of Kapiolani and Piikoi... parking is a challenge, so arrive early to wait out a spot. The shop is comfortable and can accommodate 3-4 artists working, with friends looking on in support. da Work: Kai was up 1st as hers would be the least complicated. She went with 3 petroglyph style honu, each about 3.5" diameter, ink'd fairly heavy - vertically on her upper arm, pretty classic design. She has several tattoos already and was surprised that Lai didn't work with a stencil... he simply free-handed the design with several pens, directly on your body. He's a very cool, confident cat, laid back and within minutes has you chatting it up like you went to high school together. I went next as my wife wanted to see how mine's worked out to help solidify her concept. Lai drew a honu/dragon/shark tooth design on my upper arm and I said "go for it". 2.5 hours later I was stunned at the fine details he added to the shark's teeth encircling the honu shell, as well as tribal accents in the honu, while incorporating the dragon profile. It really was satisfying to see my concept executed closely, while adding style and depth, bringing it to life. Carla was last up and really wanted to stick close to what I had done... just smaller and wanted the dragon to "pop" more. As you can see, Lai nailed it... however subtle, the dragon does appear more prominent on her piece. da Wrap: Really happy all-around, already thinking about how to add to it, maybe add color, grow it further down my arm, how to add to the story. It's a very personal thing and I really suggest you take your time to research and find the right artist. I'm confident that you'll find the right one at Tattoo Hawaii. We were there most of the day and saw several folks and artists' work, there was actually one guy there the whole time getting a large whole body piece worked on with a manual tattoo tool, that's an investment! HUGE shout out to Lai for making our sessions so enjoyable and comfortable... When he found out it was my and my wife's 1st work, he said he was honored to be 1st... such a humble guy, great disposition. We'll see you soon brother!

Many things have changed since my 2018 visit so the information in this review can stay relevant…read more I visited last week for a fairly large piece and Lai took care of it like he did with my two other ones. When you arrive remember to fill out the paperwork provided. This could probably be streamlined if it were made available online. Regardless, you can reach out to the shop via social media or even the shop's webpage too. We took multiple breaks on my last visit. What started out as a request for a pueo turned into a session to catch up since pre-pandemic and get back in the chair. Lai free handed the entire piece. I wanted a poly style piece with Lai's style and that's what I got. Very much appreciated for attention to detail. Reach out to the shop via social media and if you want specifics like cost and time, you better be specific about your request too. (i.e. size, color, design, etc). There are so many shops on Oahu and Tattoo Hawaii was the only one that gave me an accurate cost and time frame, not to mention some awesome conversation. Highly recommended and thoroughly enjoyed!

During covid times it was by appointment only but I discovered now in 2025 she does walk ins and appointments via call/text/dm (her IG @lisa_pierce_r) Her business hours of piercing is from Monday to Saturday 12pm-6pm but I still recommend to text her so she knows you're coming in, you can find her number on her Instagram bio or call the tattoo studio. Here's my years of what I got pierced with prices: 2020- Top navel $30 2021- Daith $20 each ear (left & right) 2023- Earlobes for both $40 2025- Rook $20 each ear (left & right) Here's how the session goes. She will ask you for your ID, make you sign a wavier, she will bring you back to the room, cleans the area of your choice, marks the spot where she will pierce and will ask you if you like it or change it. Then she will have you sit or lay on the chair bed, and then she will do her piercing magic. Very quick and smooth experience! Pain level for each piercing: Top Navel 8/10 Earlobes 1/10 Daith 6/10 Rook 6/10 There's no body jewelry there for you to buy, she usually defaults with the plain surgical steel ball and bar. She will give you a paper that has aftercare instructions and it says how long the pain lasts, how long you wait till you can replace the jewelry. They have saline ready for purchase for $5 if you need to clean your piercings! 10/10 recommend this place!

Easy to find, Black Palette is an absolute spotless parlor that screams "We keep an organized, spotless and efficient operation here and you are in great hands."

Not thinking about the size, he matched it to my other leg tattoo perfectly and the line work was absolutely incredible.

I ultimately chose this shop because the artists here are so talented. It was actually quite hard to narrow it down and choose which artist I wanted to do my ink - they're all crazy talented. But then I fell in love with a design I saw and I selected Brian and sent him an email to begin correspondence. When I arrived in Oahu I went by and we discussed what I wanted and I made and appointment and put down a deposit. My appointment was for Friday 2/9 at noon. Brian had drawn up the design for me that included the elements I asked for and it was even more beautiful than anything I had pictured. He managed to incorporate the ocean sunset design I loved, altered it to include flowers instead of leaves and he worked in the Polynesian element I wanted. He massively exceeded my expectations. The appointment was great. Brian is a skilled tattoo artist, he is very personable and I enjoyed talking with him as he used his 6-7 colors of black and grey to create my tattoo. I am very pleased with the result. Everything he used was new/disposable and he was meticulous in his care of keeping everything as clean and sterile as possible. I highly recommend this shop and Brian.

Q: How much do pirates charge to pierce someone's ears? A:…read more A buccaneer (a buck an ear)! I yanked my hidden helix piercing out on accident while washing my hair at the hotel. I didn't have the needle to put the piercing back in and since it was still relatively new, I knew the chances of it closing were high, especially since the same thing of my hair yanking the piercing out in the shower had just happened to me the month prior. It was half-closed in less than twelve hours! I had originally wanted to stop off at another spot but their piercer wasn't in. What? So I opened Yelp and found this place a short distance away. I came here and saw Krista and it was amazing. She got me cleaned and my piercing placed back in fast for the low price of $10 (plus tax). She's amazing. Mad love for this cool tattoo and piercing salon in Waikiki. Service is insanely friendly, place is clean, and the vibes are vibing. Five stars!
