Great first experience getting my tattoo done by Adam! He was very patient and super friendly. I would come back here and I highly recommend him as an artist! I'm also really glad I was able to be his customer and get my first tattoo by him. :)

Just an hour ago I did a walk-in with Michael at 434 Custom Tattoing. His skills as an artist were amazing and he took his time just trying to understand what I wanted, and he just delivered very well. I recommend him 100%.

Searched for a great place to get a henna tattoo. Adam was nice enough to accommodate me last minute! He is very nice and performs great work! If anyone looking for a tattoo place in the Honolulu area that does henna tattoos I would recommend this shop!

Went in for a walk-in yesterday. Jeremy gave me a good price and worked clean, fast, and precise. Out of the shop in no time with a piece that looked like it took twice as long as it did. Highly recommend.
