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.

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've got a whole vision for what I wish I would have done for my tattoos originally. I had a consultation with Kristine at the Kailua location back in February 2019 for my half sleeve, and ended up putting off starting the process entirely. She was accommodating and understanding for my personal needs to hold off. Today, scheduled the day-of (maybe I got lucky), I returned and Kristine removed basically my entire "half sleeve", plus another one on my leg. Most of them were done in just *seconds. Kristine and my experience with her has been amazing all the way through. She kept me posted from February thru now about discounts and/or COVID stuff, was thorough and realistic thru consultation regarding pricing, gave me guidance on all the questions you'd want to ask (without me having to ask them) and made me feel SO comfortable thru the removal. They had stress balls, she was flexible and patience to allow quick-second breaks as needed, and talked me thru it when I (very obviously) needed to breathe more :-) Professional, thorough, friendly, reasonable with pricing, overall made me feel I was very well taken care of. Thanks so much again Kristine! See you in August! read more

I can't say enough about how scalp micropigmentation completely transformed my appearance and boosted my confidence. Before the procedure, I was constantly self-conscious about my thinning hair and receding hairline. Hats and hairstyles became tools to hide rather than express myself. But everything changed after SMP. From the consultation to the final session, the experience was smooth, professional, and reassuring. The precision and detail of the pigmentation were beyond my expectations--it looks so natural that even close friends didn't realize it was a treatment. They just kept telling me how fresh and youthful I looked! What I love most is how low-maintenance it is. No more expensive products or worrying about my hair in the mirror. Just a clean, sharp look every single day. SMP didn't just restore my hairline--it restored my self-esteem. If you're considering it, don't hesitate. This procedure didn't just change my look--it changed how I feel about myself. I also have been getting laser by Kristine for a couple of years for complete removal on a tattoo! She's the most affordable and knowledgeable when it comes to laser! read more

One of the best shops on Oahu, upscale place that is professional from the moment you walk in. Yvonne has done upwards of 30 hours on me and has turned all of my ideas into well placed and designed tattoos. Her knowledge set me at ease when I got my first piece and has helped me construct a sleeve that I have been happy with for the past 3 years. She is great at working with your ideas and puts your comfort above everything else. I met Rob when I started my sleeve and has always been super friendly with me and everyone else in the shop. He has never failed to say hello and start up conversation and has taken time to explain concepts to me I had questions about. Brilliant artist all around! Simon is the best geometric artist on the island hands down. Three of my friends have all gone through him for a variety of pieces and they always turn out spectacular. All in all, this shop is a must visit if you are considering getting a tattoo. With diverse artists in a great location its well worth the drive from anywhere on the island. read more

I have done 8 tattoo removal sessions on a partial sleeve tattoo with Kristine at the Kailua studio now and I very enthusiastically recommend this shop and her services. Kristine and all her co-workers are all extremely friendly, and she will give you a straight answer for how many sessions she will expect it to take in your consultation. The sessions themselves are very easily scheduled, and Kristine is extremely talented at making sure the sessions go by as quickly and painlessly as possible. I have verbally recommended this shop to everyone I work with that I've spoken to about both tattoos and their removal. I hope if your taking the time to read this you take the time to check it out, you'd be doing yourself a disservice if you don't, you won't be disappointed! read more

Absolutely fantastic. I got my first tattoo here from Yvonne, and she did an incredible job. Kristine helped me through the process and made sure I knew everything that was going on legally and what they were and what they were not responsible for. The shop itself is very clean and very courteous about your feelings! I got a sternum tattoo, and was right by the door, but they made sure nobody stared or made me feel uncomfortable. The artists in the shop are friendly and make you forget you're being tattooed by a mostly stranger. Once the tattoo on my sternum got too painful for me to handle, they were able to give me numbing stuff so I could sit and finish without being too uncomfortable! If I get another tattoo I'm definitely going to try to come back. read more

My wife and I try to make Hawaii every 3 or 4 years. Covid interfered with that. 6 years ago I met artist Josh Flinn who did an incredible piece of work on my right arm. Flash forward to this past May and I hooked up with Josh again, this time at One Point in Kailua. This is the most incredible, inviting and comfortable tattoo shop I have been to. A great team of people that support each other. Simon and Christeen make it roll. The work done by every artist is off the charts. And I highly recommend everyone of them. But of course Josh Flinn is not only my unbelievable artist but a lifelong friend. So whether you are making your first trip or your returning head for Kailua and One Point Tattoo and tell them Boz from Arkansas sent you. read more

Check him out on IG and see for yourself. The most important factor to me was the talent of the artist. I found that in Robert. My tattoo is a work in progress, and I love it. The detail, the colors, the design; I can go on and on. Not only is he an amazing artist, he is also very personable. Having a personable artist, IMO, is extremely important.

Josh Flinn created and tattooed a Polynesian watercolor jellyfish for me and I have nothing but great things to say about my entire experience. Everyone at the shop was professional and friendly. Josh worked 7 hours on my piece with minimal breaks to make the piece perfect with beautiful watercolor details. I enjoyed that he was both focused and friendly, chatting a bit but also letting me read/watch Netflix/listen to music throughout the appointment. He also walked me through the process of using saniderm, which I hadn't used with previous tattoos. The shop is bright and clean, very welcoming vibe. I would highly recommend and would get another tattoo from the shop without hesitation. read more

This shop is one the best tattoo shops I have been too. The owner has an amazing motto that really holds true to the shop. "Building relationships through art.'' Very honest, upfront, & passionate tattooers who really take the time to get to know exactly what the customer wants! They spend a lot of time drawing up your tattoos to make sure it's truly what you want & sometimes that can change several times. They are very patient when it comes to making up your mind in how you want the tattoo to look which is a big deal when it's about to be on your body permanently. Hands down I will continue to go to this tattoo shop for more tattoos! read more

I saw Kristine at 1 Point Tattoo for Scalp Micro-Pigmentation and eyebrow laser tattoo removal, and she delivered incredible results. I was very self-conscious about visible thinning, and her micro-pigmentation work added natural-looking fullness without any harsh ink. She chose the perfect shade and took her time to make everything blend seamlessly. Kristine also removed my outdated brow tattoos, which were the wrong color and shape. After just one session, about 85% of the pigment was gone, and my face already looks more natural. Kristine is skilled, honest, and meticulous. I highly recommend her for both SMP and laser removal. read more

I also have gotten laser tattoo removal from Nikki (owner) who is extremely talented, intuitive, and caring. She knew which areas needed more attention and purposely spent more time and used a higher intensity on those areas.

Freedom Laser Hair and Tattoo Removal

I've been getting my eyebrows tattooed since I was 20. I'm 35 now and although I loooove my brows,…read moreI always get complemented on them, recently I stopped liking the shape--especially the ends, which felt too long. So, I decided to try laser tattoo removal. While randomly browsing on Groupon, I came across a deal from Freedom Laser Hair & Tattoo Removal. The reviews, both on Groupon and online, were really positive, so I went ahead and bought the deal for $45 (small area). I had to pay an extra $10 groupon booking fee, but the price itself was so affordable I didn't mind. At my appointment, the technician Emily mentioned I could purchase directly from her in the future, and she'd still honor the Groupon price, which was super kind of her. If you're interested, check if the deal is still available online. The Groupon covers small, medium, and large tattoo removal areas. For my next session, I'll be booking directly through her. This was my first experience with any type of tattoo removal, and I'll admit I was a bit nervous. I'd heard it can be more painful than getting a tattoo. Emily doesn't use numbing cream, but she has a cold air machine that blows over the area while the laser works. It helped a lot, less of a shock than I expected. Since the area was small, I was in and out in about 15 minutes. In terms of pain, I'd say it felt pretty similar to getting the original tattoo. If you've had your brows tattoo and touched up, you know what I mean. (The pain isn't the best) Even after just one session, I noticed a big difference. The pigment lifted way more than I thought it would. I'll probably need one more session since I've had multiple tattoo applications over the years, but I'm already really happy with the results. Huge thank you to Emily--she was amazing! Her online system is super efficient. It sends reminders, outlines policies and procedures, and includes everything you need to know before, during, and after your appointment. She's professional, thorough, and kind. I'll definitely be recommending her to my friends and family for any laser needs, especially tattoo removal. Highly recommend!

I just recently got the 2 very fine hairs in my left pit zapped after Emily checked because I didn't even know they were there. I continue to go for their laser facials and microneedling. I've had treatments all over the world and these laser facials give the results of treatments that have major downtime. My skin is tightened and glass! I was motivated to write this review after a twenty something couldn't believe I am almost 50 and asked what I do to my skin. As a dentist, I've had a soft and hard tissue laser and trained in lasers in Arizona, so I really appreciate Emily and Joseph's commitment to education, using and maintaining high quality lasers. Committed to their craft to bring the best and safest results. Thank you thank you thank you Freedom Laser!

Everyone was really friendly and accommodating, and we were both really happy with our new tattoos. Space is clean and lots of flash/painting options to choose from. My extra tattoo was from their Halloween flash sheet that they were coincidentally running that day. I ended up liking it without any shading (see pic), but I may go back to get it shaded in one day ;) especially since they have a stamp card which, after five tattoos there, enables you to get a sixth one free!
