I got my first tattoo at almost 60. It was when my daughter asked for one, and I was thinking to…read moremyself, why not go do it with her. That was five years ago. For our 30th anniversary, my wife and I went to Maui for a week. The best vacation we've ever had. When it was almost time to pack our suitcases and leave Maui, we were thinking why not get a tattoo to commemorate the vacation, as well as the anniversary. We looked up several tattoo parlors. While at Paia we paid a visit to one, but it needed a booking in advance. Another one in Kihei, we encountered a rude tattooist who (almost) practically threw us out because we weren't so sure what tattoo we wanted to get... and then, when we were close to giving up, we found Zen Tattoo. Greg was free, and said he would love to help. We looked up several images, and picked one. And then the magic happened. But not before we were watching in awe how Greg was preparing. He put on a pair of surgical gloves and started sterilizing EVERYTHING. The trays, the machine, and everything that could get in touch with us. Better yet, he wrapped EVERYTHING in Saran wrap. And I mean everything. Then he took of the gloves, threw them away, and put on a new pair. Only then he started to prepare the candidate skin for the tattoo we selected. At the end, he cleaned the area well, and applied "Second Skin", a modern aftercare method that keeps a new tattoo consistently hydrated using ointment or medical-grade wraps. This approach prevents hard scabbing, reduces fading, and accelerates healing, though it requires strict cleanliness to avoid bacterial growth in the moist environment. In retrospect - a good choice to make when considering a tattoo. He worked meticulously, and the results were spectacular. When he finished with my wife and it was my turn, we were amazed to see that Greg went through the entire set of rigorous sterilization, again, not skipping one step, including two sets of surgical gloves. Then he did mine. So three comments: 1. Greg is excellent at tattooing. Outstanding work. 2. Greg is extremely obsessed with cleanliness and sterilization. 3. Greg was the nicest person. He reassured us throughout the process. Bottom line: considering the preparation, the professionalism, the personality, and the outcome - when in Maui considering a tattoo - choose Greg 100%.

My understanding is that Adam has been tattooing for 30+ years. His wife runs the front desk, and his daughter, Siobhan Hammon, is also one of the artists. I worked with Siobhan on a Hawaiian islands tattoo on my bicep. She was polite, professional, and ready to get to work. They were also great about working with my schedule. I was able to put a deposit down the day before, and everything was smooth and straightforward. They provided very detailed aftercare instructions and even shared some helpful information I didn't know about numbing options and the healing process. I followed the instructions exactly, and the tattoo healed quickly. I also want to give a special shoutout to Adam. Whether he's the sole owner or part of the ownership team, I don't want to misspeak, but his presence alone made the visit feel worth it. He clearly cares about his clients and represents the industry in a really positive way. Thank you for a great experience and for an awesome birthday gift from my wife. Until next time. MAHALO!!!

If you're looking for an artist who truly cares about their work and their clients, we highly recommend Syd and the whole team. Thank you for making such an important milestone so special!

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

I had been planning on getting a tattoo in Maui for my first time there. I didn't know when or…read morewhere. I did some research days before and finally made it happen to walk in and make an appointment. Picture it: Saturday of Spring break, the last day of our vacation, Lahaina, and I walked in right when they opened. They made a push to get us in for the absolute last spot to get both my boyfriend and I tattooed. Not to mention it would be his first and my 15th. I had an exact reference from Eric's Instagram, and my bf had a few from the internet. We walked in right on time and Dani was just finishing up my bfs design while I signed the paperwork. I cannot express how grateful I was to have her taking care of him. He's very analytical and dissects everything because of how his brain works. She was so unbelievably patient and worded everything so he understood what he was getting. Eric had my design pretty much done because he had done it before. Dani sat my man down and got to work. I was very relaxed knowing she was able to keep him busy and make easy conversation with him. The first tattoo experience can change if someone ever gets another, so she knocked it out of the park. Eric got to mine after a quick dinner and double-checking my placement. Inner upper arm was probably the hardest place to get a tattoo considering I was sunburned on the entire front of my body... wear your damn sunscreen!!! Anyways, Eric was super artistic in how he was tattooing me even so that Amanda, the super adorable receptionist was complimenting it. He made great conversation with me and made sure to check in on how I was feeling and doing, plus letting me get up to stretch with my body cramping up from laying down for so long. It has the be the best tattoo experience I've ever had, and I have now 15! I don't believe anyone could've gotten close to the realism he achieved with my tattoo. It's my favorite and most timeless piece that I will treasure and show off forever. Their rates were reasonable and nothing outrageous (and that's coming from a Californian). Eric, Dani, and Amanda are incredible people who are doing what they love where they love. I will be going back for another tattoo next time we go to Hawaii, even if it means island hopping. (Pictures of reference and stencil included) Mahalo guys!

He made our experience and designed our tattoos better than what we had imagined. If you are on the island and wanting a tattoo I would highly recommend this place. We made a reservation for our last day of the trip so we could still enjoy the ocean up until the tattoo!! 12/10!!!
