    Visiting after 20+ years. Why not get my first tattoo?! Made an appt very easily and we had Acacia do my first, my daughters and husband's tattoos. Great atmosphere, view, music and company! We love them!

    3rd session with Acacia in December of 2020(Japanese style waves)......I absolutely recommend coming to Little Tsunami if you live or visiting the island and want a permanent souvenir.

    I had an appointment with Sabrina while on the island for vacation this week, and let me tell you, the entire process from beginning to end was amazing! Sabrina got back to me quickly upon my email to her with my request for an appointment. After a couple of emails back and forth, we set up a consult once I was in town. I'm sure I was frustrating when I walked in to my consult and literally just said I wanted something floral with a Hawaiian influence. But Sabrina was able to make my dreams come true! She even ended up amending her schedule slightly to accommodate a last minute change to my schedule. During my actual appointment, the studio was impeccably clean, welcoming, and very relaxed! I cannot recommend these girls enough and will definitely be hitting Sabrina up for another tattoo on my next trip!

    Little Tsunami came recommended from family on the island. So we Called in ahead for an appointment with my wife for our anniversary vacation they actually got back to us right away. I had a consult & gave some ideas of what I wanted & some details about myself for Acacia to design my 1st Tattoo! Absolutely loved the design & the piece & was pleased to hear how it's much more than a piece but a story that has true meaning. Just over 3 hours I felt comfortable the whole time & left feeling like both Acacia, & Chanel are now part of my family....great experience I will always remember Acacia as my first! Lol thanks Acacia

    I recently visited Kauai for the first time and wanted a unique souvenir. I'd been kicking around the idea of getting a tattoo forever and figured it was time to take the plunge. So I researched some of of the tattoo places on the island and looked at artists' portfolios and decided that Little Tsunami was for me. Chanel was quick to respond to my inquiry about setting up a initial meet up and worked with me on some ideas I had and then booked an appointment for last full day I would be in Kauai. When I came in I loved the design so I decided to go for it. Being my first tattoo, I didn't know what to expect but Chanel was very patient, warm and professional. The studio is a bit hard to find being on the second floor (above the Eastside bar and grill) but it is clean and well kept. Tips: Schedule an appointment as earliest as possible on your trip. The design should be discussed and not rushed. A tattoo of moderate size can take hours depending on many factors. Take a look at their profiles and if you like their work, hesitate no further and go for it!

    I came back here again and guess what a got another amazing piece of art!!!! Some super sweet Sugar skulls( I posted a pic) but this time i got it on my right leg. These girls rock and can put out some darn fine work. I just went to the tattoo convention in seattle and these gals are as good if not better than some of the best I saw at the show. The gals here are still great one year later!!! It sure is nice to be able to walk into a tat shop and have someone greet you with a smile and not have that whole chip on the shoulder of being a tattoo shop thing. So if you are looking to get inked on your vaction then call a head and set a appt. this place get busy quick it is well worth the time and money.

    I highly recommend Little Tsunami Tattoo! Acacia made us so comfortable from the moment we met. She was able to capture exactly what we envisioned for our tattoos and they came out perfectly. I cannot express my gratitude to Acacia for our beautiful Hawaiian keepsakes.

    My Plumeria flower on my inner right ankle! I love it! Simple and beautiful!

    Customer service was awesome! They went out of their way to accommodate my schedule while there on vacation! Matt was my artist and he came in early just to hook me up! Much appreciate because I wanted to get a tattoo SO bad! It's kind of my thang, to get tattoos during my travels. I got a Plumeria flower, simply, sexy and it covers an ugly scar that I hated looking at! Matt Was professional, sweet, and fast! I was so happy with my flower! Next time in on vacation here, I'm coming back for another!

    Just came back from vacation and we wanted to get a tattoo as a memory for our awesome vacation…read more Although the shop was clean, and people seemed very knowledgeable and nice I was not impressed with the work. I do believe that the senior artist does amazing work from what was shown in books and portfolio and I admire that his son is taking in his foot prints but his son Isiahs work was less than satisfying. Really bummed that I decided to get my tattoo done there. Now I have to find another artist to fix up the mistakes. I'll post the pics of what we wanted and what we got... On another note I was told the derm film would protect my tattoo. Well it seems he forgot to put the moisture before the film so it ripped off a lot of my tattoo. Really bummed. My aunt lives in the Bay Area and is hoping to get a portrait of her fur baby very soon but it will be from the father. Hopefully he can fix what his son did.

    The only reason I went here was because it was the last day of our vacation and I honestly thought…read morethe tattoo I wanted was impossible to mess up. I was wrong. When we called to make an appointment they didn't take down our names (red flag number one) and when we got to the shop no one remembered taking our call of setting up the appointment with us. I was charged $100 for honestly the worst tattoo I've ever gotten, that the artist spent 3 minutes and 15 seconds on (the iPad connected to the tattoo gun counts how long they spend on the tattoo). I'll let the picture of my tattoo speak for itself. It's honestly super simple line work that an amateur could have done better and now I'm stuck with what looks like a janky prison tattoo. Lesson learned, we won't return. Also it's only been a little over two weeks and look how much ink has fallen out.
