I scheduled to get a tattoo for each of my daughters (9 & 6 y/o) as a valentines gift. I messaged on IG and got a quick response and appointment. Unfortunately I had to make a lot of changes - day, time, location - and she was super understanding and accommodating. We did the session at my moms house by Ala Moana Shopping center. She explained everything she was doing, the process of how to treat and how it would look after. My mom and me ended up getting tattoos too! I would definitely recommend! Great prices and customer service! PS - my daughters were rock stars when their classmates saw the tattoos

Carolyn of Honolulu Henna is amazing. I fly to O'ahu every 6 to 8 weeks (live part-time) from Los Angeles to be with my mom and to get Carolyn's Jagua artwork on my body! My kids get their Jagua every year they come out with me. She creates her art free hand. I tell her a few elements I want to include then she is free to express herself. Love her.. if yo've always wanted a tattoo but have not quite determined what you want yet.. contact Carolyn! It last between 1-2.5 weeks. It was a month ago I saw Carolyn. I'm on a plane to O'ahu as I type to get another fabulous sleeve. Here are a few of them.

She was GREAT. Her art is amazing and I enjoyed every minute of our conversation. She went into detail about henna and jengua, care instructions, what to expect while it was drying/ peeling. I really appreciated how specific she was and showed me pictures. These pictures are taken a week after being done (the fish is a bit faded due to pre shave exfoliation& everything shower). Such an easy going person with impressive art skills

Amazing was an understatement for Carolyn! We had her on our last day in Hawaii and we felt so blessed and thankful that we stumbled upon her. She made us feel so at ease and her customer service skills were so great. Moreover, her attention to detail was AMAZING! (I got the forearm tattoo) and she gave me exactly what I wanted. The conversations that came along with it was an amazing added bonus. My husband got the chest and arm tattoo and he told her what he wanted without actual visual representation, afterwards, it completely exceeded our expectations! If you're looking to get henna done, definitely do not pass up on getting it with her. I'd give her 10stars if I could!

I've been getting Carolyn's (Honolulu Henna) beautiful henna for over 6 years. It's amazing how she can listen to want you want and create amazing body art so fast! She even helped me create the design for my permanent half sleeve tattoo which I get compliments on everyday! What makes her even more fun to work with is her super cool personality. If you plan on getting henna, Honolulu Henna is THE BEST IN HONOLULU!

Carolyn is the best her vibe and artistry is so unique...it was a girl group of 4 ...and we all loved the experience

If you're looking for an awesome Henna + Jagua artist in Oahu, check out Honolulu Henna! Carolyn is such a cool, down to earth person and made it such a nice experience. It's easy to make an appointment via her website or messaging her directly if you have questions. She doesn't have a shop currently, but she travels around to meet clients at hotels, etc for the session. I got the sun + moon design and incorporated the Chinese character "明" into it as well (since its in my Chinese name) and I love how it turned out! My friends got a really sick looking turtle and floral + mystical design for theirs. Overall we love how intricate and detailed the designs are and how she was able to captivate and bring our visions to life through her work. She was super helpful as well with explaining how to care for the Jagua and how the process works. Definitely recommend booking your next Henna + Jagua session with Carolyn the next time you're in Oahu

Wow! We had a great time getting henna tattoos from Carolyn. Professional and fun!! We loved them , Thank you

Amazing experience with no complaints. Carolyn is very warm and inviting and I appreciate her for traveling to my hotel. She's super good at what she does, artwork 10/10

Look at this masterpiece! This is my first experience with Jagua and Carolyn made it such a memorable one. I sent her a rough draft of what I was looking to get, and she made it so much better. I message her through text and she gave me an estimate. So then we finalize an appointment date and met the following day. She is a traveling artist so that's pretty cool. After meeting, we discuss more in detail and finalize a price. During the process, we chatted and she told me some great info on what I should do and should avoid while I'm here. She is a perfectionist and I love all the details she had put in this design. She'll go over the aftercare process pretty throughly, so we know what to expect. The design came out beautiful and not going to lie, I wasn't sitting as still as I should be... but it still looks great! I definitely would come back and have her do more amazing designs on me. If you're here in the area, y'all should check her out for reals!

Love my henna tattoo! Carolyn was very friendly, social, and a great artist. She informed us well on the overall process. Easy to book and great communication. If you're thinking of getting a temp tattoo, the jagua (black blue ink) is a great idea. Highly recommend it :))

I love the Hena Tattoo Carlolyn did, I let her design it for me and couldn't be happier with it. It was a great Birthday gift.

Carolyn was amazing to work with, she is so talented and through. She walked me through the process, and I let her design my tattoo and it exceeded my expectations. If you are looking for a temporary tattoo look no further! She is extremely easy to work with meeting you at your hotel, which is so convenient while on vacation. She will also be doing traditional tattoo's soon so keep that in mind while you consider making your temporary tattoo a permanent one :).

Later that evening (5hours later and no water) peeling and easily comes off. Notice the lighter image under the dry henna.

Carolyn is so talented and sweet. She is quick with her designs and amazing art is transformed before your eyes. (Not pictured is Maui hook) our son was so happy to have it placed in his leg. She texted me after I requested an appt and quote. She meet us at our hotel, so our family of 5 took turns, we were able to nap and have brunch. Please remember no water activities the day you get the henna placed AND it takes 24 hours for it to be dark and beautiful. Our henna tatoos lasted almost 2 weeks. My tatoo created a lovely reverse print from where it tanned on my upper arm so now I have a beautiful reminder of our trip.

Carolyn is a traveling/mobile henna and jagua artist who really is leaps and bounds beyond the rest. I showed her a picture of a tattoo and a photograph of my bunny and she was able to put a large thigh piece on my thigh as a tattoo trial in no time at all! The jagua will stain like a tattoo and people have been complimenting it thinking that it's real ink. I am super impressed that she was able to take my request and make something custom for me in less than an hour. It looks just like my precious little bun too! The appointment itself was super fun and Carolyn was lovely to chat with. If you're in the area and you're looking for an artist for a party or a personal appointment, I would 100% recommend! read more

I'm such an indecisive person, i'm also a perfectionist but I don't care what others think. I always wanted a tattoo and I didn't want others opinion or bashing. I knew what I liked and what I wanted and usually I just do it. Tattoos tho were something I'm scared of... "NEEDLES" eek! When I saw someone with henna tattoo with the jagua ink, I was amazed how nice it looked. I had to make an appointment to get a temporary tattoo of the real one I wanted. This way I could see the placement and the henna artist Carolyn is amazing at drawing what I envisioned. There's some things on the tattoo I wanted changes on but I'm so glad I tested it out and realized... there's lots of tweaks that needs to be done on the image I want. The placement I love tho... Others have seen the henna and thought it's real but it looks more blue in person. They've asked why I didn't want it higher on my thigh and so close to my knee. I had to tell them... I don't have kids, if I ever decided to... the closer towards my butt will cause stretch marks and changing the tattoo. I thought out well the place and the image... If you want to test out something before getting permanent. Henna is perfect. The studio can be a little hard to find but it's quite homey feel. I would definitely come back! read more

An unbelievable experience! Honestly, if I could give more stars I would. I was on vacation in Hawaii and was looking for a place to get henna when I stumbled upon Honolulu Henna. Carolyn was absolutely amazing! Unfortunately she had to close her shop because of COVID, but that hasn't stopped the passion and love for what she does and it shows in her art. Whether you are looking for a way to test out some tattoo ideas or just want something fun and cool, Honolulu Henna is the place to go. Since her shop has closed, she is now coming to you!! Whether you are at your hotel or hanging out at the beach she is extremely accommodating and tries her best to make sure that you get a memorable experience wherever that may be. If my words haven't persuaded you enough, just let her amazing and talented work of art speak for itself. Thank you Carolyn! read more

"I'm wearing short sleeves, I don't want to expose my tattoos."…read more-Jerry Seinfeld Well now I DO wanna wear short sleeves to let my new honu peek out a bit! Been wanting to get a honu ink'd to remind me of where I came from... where home really is. Everytime I go back, I run out of time or just didn't want to give up the beach day. 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!

You have got to be kidding me, but I always wanted to go to Lisa the only reason why I call other places in the first place is because they open it on the little bit later side and I wanted to get it done as soon as possible but long story short EVERYWHERE else has crazy inflation prices... Lisa is seriously the only person that I remember it being the same amount from 10 years ago that is so crazy honestly I feel like she should make everything at least $10 more That's how good her services, she ain't even answered all my questions that I have about why my industrial fill out before and all that this is literally my first good review normally I only review places when it's like extremely bad not just a little bad I can handle that but if it's like the worst place I've ever been to then I have to write something to one others but Lisa is my first good review and I'm very thankful that she took me in as a walk-in and had me out within 10 minutes maybe even 5 minutes at the most thanks again Lisa :) PS she even exited the tipping screen and said to not worry about tipping her but of course I want to~she already has her prices ridiculously cheap.. I have literally never seen anyone say no need to tip (especially in the service industry) If you need any piercings done please go to Lisa she's the best and honestly I'll never go to anyone else ^^

It was super odd, i've never had a piercer ever be so unfriendly. a few months later i went to my usual piercing place to get new jewelry and kinda talked about the Ink Pit to her. she knew who i was talking about because i guess Lisa "botches" her clients and has a reputation of it in the piercing world. my flat jewelry from the Ink Pit was so long but i thought it was okay, and my usual piercer said she was surprised it healed because it was too long to safely heal. i usually don't have trouble with my piercings, but this was so painful and hard to heal. as soon as i got a shorter piece, it stopped hurting and looks great now. their starting jewelry is terrible. this place is cheap and quick and im sure Lisa was just having a bad day when i was in there, but there are much better places to go. and remember, there's a reason why it's so cheap.

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 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.

My daughter got a beautiful red flower (we knew red ink tends to fade faster), and I got a beach scene with palm trees. Both tattoos came out lovely, truly 5-star-worthy work. The reason for my 3-star review isn't about the artwork but the experience afterward. While my daughter was in the lobby, the staff were admiring her tattoo, which was nice to hear, but then the conversation turned to comments about how the red ink wouldn't last and other remarks that weren't so positive. We completely understand the nature of red ink and appreciate honesty, but it's not great to overhear that kind of discussion right after getting a tattoo. For many people, including us, tattoos often hold sentimental meaning, they represent moments, memories, and people close to our hearts, even if we don't always share that story out loud. So, a little extra sensitivity goes a long way. Overall, the artistry and quality of the work are top-notch, but I'd just recommend being mindful of conversations when clients are still around to hear them.

Supporting small business in Honolulu's Chinatown…read more.. Taking a leisurely stroll around Maunakea Marketplace (because I had free street parking on a Sunday) my friend and I paused in front of Instyle Hair & Nails because the place didn't look busy and I had some time. There were a couple of staff sitting outside, taking a break, so, I approached slowly and said, "Pedicure?" I was cheerfully greeted and shown to a massage chair. The nice gal, Deb, placed a new plastic liner in the basin and started the warm water. She asked if it was too hot and adjusted the temperature. She started to help me (telling me the difference in price between regular polish for $30 and gel polish which lasts longer for $45), but another customer asked for her, so she switched me off to someone else. It's okay because the new gal (didn't get her name) was very careful and thorough. She took her time and did a good job! I sat for a couple of hours because I haven't paid attention to my feet for months. Haha! (I'm kind of a last minute, busy person and will get moving if I can't stand it anymore.) Anyway, here are my observations: Greeting regular customers is a good sign! The four female workers were cheerful and kind to everyone, especially kupuna! The hair stylist asked (in a nice tone of voice) how a certain customer wanted her hair cut and told her that next time - don't cut your hair yourself because you can't see behind your head (she cut her hair to her scalp!). The hairstylist explained politely to the customer about her unique needs and showed her options on how to style her own hair! That's good service! Another example: A little girl came in with her mom. The staff treated them really well. The mom asked for gel polish for the daughter and the staff said they cannot do it because it might burn her daughter's young skin - plus, her fingers and nails are still growing, so, it's not a good idea to put strong chemicals on the area. Wow! That's being responsible and honest! I think I spent over two hours here because the technician paid attention to my dry cuticles, cracked nail, and other issues. She verified the color of gel polish two times before application. Thank you! I was just going to give four stars, but after hours of hard work, the worker still gave me a mini leg/foot massage and brief hot towel to wipe off excess lotion on my legs! She didn't use pumice stone on me (maybe I didn't need it), but she did repeat the acetone/cotton/foil treatment to the stubborn nails several times - instead of using the electric file technique. I appreciate the gentle approach and will most likely return on a future Sunday!

Since we both have very wavy hair, they took the time to straighten our hair to make sure it was even which took a lot of time for them. I only paid $70 for both of us, considering how much attention they paid to us I do think that is a very fair price. Will be back in a year when I get tired of my hair again lol!

What an artist! Carolyn was in Minneapolis this past March and brought the magic of Hawaii with her. I knew I wanted her to do a black feather (raven medicine) but I didn't care what else she did- I trusted her talent. Simply put, she has a knack for intuition. Carolyn is down-to-earth and the essence of fun. Because of our kinship, I've asked her to decorate me for my wedding this August! After checking out her Instagram, I'm pretty sure white henna is the way to go. I'm going to have her henna-up the whole bridal party and then have her set up outside to do henna during our reception. Everyone is going to love it- I can't wait.

Carolyn is an amazing artist and a very sweet person. She came to our hotel and not only touched up the henna my son had earlier in the week but gave him a tribal sea turtle too. She explained the process of taking care of it but also educated us on where henna and jagua come from, how to properly preserve it. We unfortunately got a henna from a hotel vendor and after speaking with Carolyn, it was clear the hotel vendor was using poorly stored product. The results are great and my son can't wait to show his friends at school his new ink! read more

Honestly, i'm insanely glad we went to Honolulu Henna rather than that Rainbow place. The artist here knows what she's doing, she understands the henna material she's using, and she is just the most down to earth artist i've ever met. This place is not your typical touristy henna stand. She has a passion in her art, and it shows fourth. If you're visiting Honolulu or Waikiki, and want a Henna Tattoo, this is where to go- no other shop (even in the continental US) compares. read more

Carolyn is by far the best and most unique henna artist I've ever been to. I went once and was hooked. She free-hands no matter the size and complexity of the piece, and takes into account everything from your bone structure to body movement. No matter if I come with a set idea or just a hunch of what I'd like, I always leave with something I love.

She's also so talented when it comes to the designs. Her freehanded hennas are gorgeous and she's amazing a replicating an image you give her. read more

I really loved her work. Super clean and it was pretty fast. She did an amazing job with mine and was super nice. She told me all the instructions what to do after and how to take care of it. Plus the pricing is reasonable. Definitely worth it and will be doing this again when coming back to Hawaii. read more

Carolyn is so awesome and an amazing artist! It was my first time getting a (temporary) tattoo ever, and Carolyn walked me through the process step by step. I chose to get a jagua tattoo, and the end result is amazing! People at work have been commenting on how awesome and real the tattoo looks. read more

I love my henna from Honolulu Henna! Carolyn has perfected her own henna recipe that allows her to do beautiful and intricate work. I had a great time chatting with her and she recommended some amazing sights away from the typical tourist locations. I can't wait to see her again on my next visit! read more

Carolyn is the best! She came and met us on the beach, gave us beautiful tattoos and sold us a tube of henna too. She found out I was into henna and gave me recommendations of which to buy online. Her Instagram has tons of pictures of her work as well, check it out: @honoluluhenna read more
