I have the distinct pleasure of saying I've had more ink from this shop than any other shop, or artist. Eddie, the owner, is THAT good. He's known for his portrait work, and his reservation book proves that! And trust me when I say, he's absolutely worth the wait. Currently he's doing a Japanese piece on me. I've had at least 15 sessions with Eddie (and counting) and he's amazing. Here's what to expect from Eddie: He'll welcome you with open arms. You meet him once, and it's easy to call him a friend. He's warm, friendly, hilarious, has an infectious laugh. He's on time! I'm telling you - not all tattoo artists are on time. It's terrible when you've waited months for an appointment and the artist is an hour late for their own appointment! Not Eddie. He's there before you are every time. He's prepared! He's ready to go when you arrive. He's safe! He's always using brand new needles, and keeps his equipment clean and in tip top shape. And there's never a dull moment. Let's be real, getting tattooed isn't "fun". Afterwards it's great to see the art come to life, but during? Nah. But Eddie keeps you relaxed, calm, dying laughing even. I've read some of the reviews, and while to each their own... some of the reviews seem more like hurt feelings than objective reviews on the establishment and service that one can expect. Nonetheless, I'm glad to see so many OUTSTANDING reviews because it's well deserved! Keep up the great work. read more

Eddie Diaz is the best portrait artist in Hawaii, but he can do any type of tattoo. Super efficient and thorough so he gets it done way faster than other artists without deluding the quality. I referred a bunch of guys and they loved his work. The location has a beautiful view, clean and has plenty of space. Will definitely return for more work while in Hawaii. read more

Odyssey Tattoo Gallery - Pineapple Skull by Eddie Diaz - Tattoo Near Me - Kaneohe, Hawaii

Okay, okay, okay. Eddie, when you see this, I told you, I am a woman of my WORD. Anywaysssss.. I have to start out by saying, if I could rate this man, his art, and his AURA a million out of a million, you better believe I would. As someone who has gotten only one other tattoo done before, I know first-hand that there is MANY tattoo artists who can be a d*ck!.. But man, the second I walked into Eddie's shop, he made me feel at EASE. He smiled bright, and the rest was HISTORY! His personality, his vibe, and like I said, that aura of his is UNMATCHED. I mean does it get any better? His talent within tattooing is already out of this world, but to have such a good time WHILE getting some kick a** art done... I could never ask for more! Now, onto this man's art.. the proof is in the pudding. I don't have the words to express how amazing his work is. The detail he takes, from the eyelashes, to the beauty marks (on a portrait of course) is unbelievable. He truly takes thee' most pride in his work, and that definitely goes to show. I recommend everyone that walks this earth, HAS to get a tattoo done by this man, at LEAST one! You will not regret it. Thank you, Eddie, for making it possible to take my brother with me everywhere I go.. I am already counting down the days until I get to see you and your too tier work again! FAAAAAHget about it! read more

Eddie is amazing! Great guy, amazing photo realism. My seahorse healed up beautifully and I'll be back for my honu soon.

Where do I begin? Went to Odyssey to get a tattoo with my daughter to signify Kaneohe being our home as she was born there and I went to Castle High as a kid. First off, this review doesn't reflect anything negative towards Eddie, I'm just bummed he didn't do the tattoo and Chris did. Eddie is a cool dude and I think was being overly nice as he knew Chris lacked the ability. Hell he threw me a couple grams just because and twisted one up as a gift. I could list a few complaints about Chris, from estimating it'll take a couple hours when it took 6, or just not providing me any care instructions after other than "wash with anti bacterial soap for 3 days". What bothered me more was his underestimating of time to keep me in the chair as long as he could as if he was afraid I'll leave half way through. My daughter, who has much more experience than I did, said he had a very heavy hand. Her tattoo (Hawaiian islands) also needs touch up. Anyway look at the pictures, these were taken exactly 3 weeks from the time it was done. As you can see it's faded af. Will have to go get it redone now and pay more than the $550 I was charged for the tattoo. I was going to leave 1 star, but the owner does look like he's very talented so if you're going to go there, stick with Eddie. read more

I gotta say Eddie exceeded my expectations on this portrait tatt that Ive waited 3 yrs to do. Ive been following Eddies work for a couple years as I have someone else thats doing my back piece. Eddie does AMAZING portrait work and I knew when the time was right, I messaged him thru his IG page n instantly got a response back. Showed him what I wanted and where it was going n we went from there. Due to my work schedule I needed to reschedule once and Eddie was so accommodating to that! Fast forward to my appointment. Got there 15mins before scheduled and was immediately assisted as I was his very first morning appointment. The assistant did a temp ck, they were wearing their mask and had hand sanitizer readily available for you. The shop was clean. Normally my husbabe comes with me to my tatt appointments but couldnt make it :( I was a little nervous being the placement of the tatt but I gotta say, Eddie's style of tattooing and how detailed he is couldnt have made me any happier that I choose to have him do such a MEANINGFUL piece. Im dedicating this start of a sleeve for Eddie's pieces. I promise you wont regret it... Much Mahalo's again Eddie!!! read more

If you wanna honor a loved one with a tattoo or just want amazing photorealism he is your guy!!!!! read more

Highly recommend Eddie Diaz Arts!! My sweet Ancestor mama chose Eddie as her artist. That's a huge compliment and testament to the healing & spiritual power of a memorial tattoo session with him. I stalked his IG while on the mainland and booked 6 month in advance - highly recommend to reserve your appointment ASAP! We are sooooooo elated about the tattoo vessel and it's more than we ever imagined. To the negative reviews that made comments about the weed smells, Eddie's past, and reporting his business to the BBB - just know those were all wyt Karens who were mad about non-refundable deposits or something that didn't quite go their way! Everyone has a past - it's about what we do with today to make sure our families are taken care of tomorrow. It's a low ball to bring up people's past & accuse them of crap that has no validity. Eddie, keep shining! Your art and presence speaks for itself. I have a spot reserved for my daddy that will be blessed by Eddie. read more

If you want piercings, STACY is the woman to see!! She is so friendly, knowledgeable, quick, real and down to earth that you will really feel like she's just your girl who's hooking you up!

She's also genuinely cared about my after piercing care and gave me some great insight and tips for healthy and smooth healing! I am a woman of my word and Stacy is legit. read more

Where do I even start so many good things about this place. Eddie has done all of my tattoos and I am always very satisfied. I got my first portrait ever from him of my dearest friend and I'm so blown away at the details. Looks identical to the photo and he nailed it. I am beyond grateful that I went to him. He truly is the best portrait artist. The shop is very professional and make you feel comfortable. The whole vibe all in all was a very good experience && I strongly believe when getting a tattoo that's important. I totally recommend anyone getting a tattoo to go to odyssey && see Eddie he is the best read more

I have a soft spot for my father and always wanted a portrait of him and I must say, Eddie, captured my father in his best years. Portrait and tattoo quality is unmatched. My father is always with me now. Thank you for such a beautiful and sentimental piece. read more

I came here and got my ears pierced in Jan 2017 ... 4 months later one of my piercings was not healed properly ( it was painful to take the jewelry out and it hurt too much to put it back in myself ) I called for advice about what to do ( I was wondering if I should have the jewelry put back in or let it heal and repierce later) and the person at the shop said. .... something like .... I don't know - do whatever you want In my opinion that is an excellent example of poor customer service. If you have trouble with your piercing from this place you better look on Google for help or advice because the man at the shop that I spoke to did not seem to care. I still have more piercings that I want to get... and I'll go get them done someplace else. Hopefully this buisness can work on improving their customer service skills. Thankfully there are many different places to go get pierced on Oahu. read more

Eddie is the man! Came in for a memorial tattoo of my frenchie and he absolutely killed it! His hospitality and vibes were amazing the whole time there and he got finished way earlier then I had expected. If you want the best I would definitely go to Eddie. read more

Eddie Diaz is AMAZING! My husband and I both went to him for our tattoos. My husband got an entire sleeve, and I got 2 flowers on my thigh. He made us feel so comfortable and by the time we moved, Eddie became family. We were going to him for 2+ years, and even though we moved we will be flying back to the island to get more tattoos by him. He specializes in portraits, photo realism, and any black&gray. The entire shop is very inviting and they are the best people to be around! Honestly, I'd I could give him more than 5 stars I would!!! You will NOT regret going to him! read more

Went in and saw Eddie Diaz and let me be straight, this shop is comfortable, professional, clean, and will work with you. I can't speak to everyone's pricing but the quality for what I paid is top notch. Libra is another artist there who I got to see work while I was there and was awesome. This shop is one to visit. If you want something for people to admire this is the place to go. read more

Odyssey Tattoo Gallery - Eddie Diaz tattooed my nephew.. - Tattoo Near Me - Kaneohe, Hawaii

We traveled to Oahu, and made an appointment with Eddie. Not only did he squeeze us into his jam-packed schedule, but he CRUSHED the piece he did. He is very talented, detail-oriented, and worth the trip out. He valued our time, our requests, and our experience at Odyssey could not have been better. We will 100% be going to Odyssey, and particularly, coming out to see Eddie for any future pieces. He's awesome and made the end of our trip THAT much more memorable! read more

Eddie Diaz at Odyssey tattoo has tattooed over 40 tattoos on me. 7 of them were portraits and one of them won 1st Place at the Long Beach, WA tattoo festival last year... He is one of, if not the best Portrait Artist on Island! But it doesn't stop there, he also does amazing art on everything from American Traditional through Japanese proved by his 2nd place win at last year's Pacific Ink and Art Festival on Oahu, that's a huge deal with all the Japanese pieces that were there from Japan and all over the world! I moved off Island 8 months ago and I haven't found an artist anywhere that has better versatility, I will be flying back from the mainland just so I can get some work done by Eddie again and to get that work done in his shop with it's awesome feel and friendly staff! Eddie man, keep it up! read more

Odyssey Tattoo Gallery - Bad photo I know, but you can still see his amazing work! Willie isn't finished in this pic. Great Work by Eddie Diaz - Tattoo Near Me - Kaneohe, Hawaii

Eddie is an amazing artist. I am in the process of getting an entire Disney sleeve done by him. The pieces look amazing. Just like I wanted. He is great at taking your own ideas and adding to them and making them better than you could think of yourself. My husband is also in the process of getting an entire musician portrait sleeve. All of the portraits are spot on. I don't think there is a better portrait artist on the island. We both get a ton of compliments on our tattoos and many people have asked where we get them done because they want some that look as good as ours! Eddie is definitely who you should get to do your tattoos. Especially if you have large pieces that require a lot of artisitic input and have room for interpretation. read more

Eddie is portrait God. He is amazing and anyone who says otherwise needs a cape #portraitgang

Me and Libra have plenty of history, that man sleeved my arm. His work is the best I've seen and he had my loyalty until today. Anyways I payed my deposit of $150 and that is to go to my last session, understandable. I came down with a sinus infection and had to cancel my second appointment. I told him I'd reschedule for another day, didn't get a response. About a week later he texts me to come in, I explain I can come for an hour to continue the piece we started. I end up there for 2 hours and he worked on me for a total 1 hour and 40 minutes. He charges $160 per hour, which by those standards I'd be paying $256 for time spent plus gratuity. I ask what the damage is and his assistant shows me a paper and it shows $440. So I question it, His assistant tells me I need to re-deposit and that is an extra $100 today. I asked him what happened to my first deposit, He laughingly shaking his hands, oh that deposit is gone. So I look at my artist who is right next the both of us trying to figure out why he can't talk to me. So I ask him and he replied, You canceled on me earlier this week so that's gonna cost you and you're being charged $340 because there's a convenience fee since you walked in...... I looked at him and said you texted me to come in today, why would you charge me a $80 convenience fee? He replied, "I'm 5 seconds away from sending your head through that F***ing window. Now this man has spent over 15 plus hours on me. I saw him as a friend, but I was so shocked that he would talk down to me like that and humiliate me in front of all the people at the shop. I paid him $340 and told him he lost me as his client. read more

Awful I put a deposit down on a tattoo and when I came in 15 mins early Libra was rude and not friendly as he was going out to smoke a joint and said he was having a day....well fuck that, 1st I don't want someone high inking my skin (I don't care what u do on ur free time) 2nd he's having a day really what are u going to heavy hand it. This isn't my first tattoo bro have proper etticate. I don't know if Libra is a good tattoo artist I didn't get that far his bad fucking attitude killed it for me. He wanted $160 for each hour forget that he's not worth an 1 hour of my life. read more

It was a bad experience trying to get a simple tattoo. The owner was rude and he seemed drunk but the girl was polite.

I got my nipples pierced here by Stacy, and she was amazing! She has a special for it every Tuesday if you mention her IG post on "titty Tuesdays" you get them for $50 no tax.. the process was quick and painless for me, made me feel comfortable. I would definitely come back here for her "facial fridays" special, half off any facial or ear piercings! She's great! read more

Eddie does amazing work! I'm very pleased with my tattoos. The environment is very relaxing and everyone is very friendly!

My rating is the lowest...lowest of all. I did'nt even want to put 1 star, but it made me. Eddie Diaz is a total rip off. My sister wanted to have a portrait done and Eddie had given me his hourly rate of what he charges. So I sent him a pic to go on my sisters forearm and asked him if it was going to take 1 hour. His response was "YUP" all in text messaging. We then went to the shop and confirmed it will be an hour and he said yes one hour because he needed to leave to go and stay at the Aulani Hotel. We then proceeded with the portrait and during that time he said he will give an even better deal. So when he was actually done I asked...ok how much? He then gave me a price that was almost triple what we had agreed on. Then I questioned it and he started yelling that I'm on crack and he did'nt give me the other price (Which is all in text) and I don't know what I'm talking about and calling me all kinds of names. YES...poor customer service. During our visit Eddie Diaz had made about 10 smoke breaks...and not cigarettes, it's Marijuana breaks. And another note there were 3 children under the age of 6 in his shop. This is a warning about his honesty...which he has none obviously. He is a total rip off. Actually, I could have given him the price he text me on my phone and did'nt need to give him what he asked for because I have proof of it. The BBB have been notified. read more

I cannot say enough how talented Eddie Diaz is as an artist, but what a terrific person as well. To be able to take a portrait and duplicate it exactly and then with passion bring it to life on skin.....AMAZING! Eddie Diaz is the man to go to to get your portrait done. read more
