I got a fantastic tattoo from Aaron Kia. The shop was clean, and the artists are talented. I would definitely go back again for another tattoo!

Above and beyond expectations! Aaron and Mike tattooed my husband and myself with the most beautiful artwork. (2 each in 1 week) This shop is extremely clean, professional and all are very talented. Whether it's a re-do or want a fresh idea, this is the place to go!

Ashley Moore

I had tattoo done by Mike and am so beyond happy with the results. I have since moved to Tennessee and I have people tell me almost every time I am in public how amazing the work is with the detail and lines being so clean! The shop itself is very clean and professional. I had a very small window of time and he was able to work with me and draw up a tattoo and do it the same day. I totally recommend them! His wife and the other 2 guys working in the shop also do amazing, unmatched work that they take great pride In!

Aaron and Rick were super friendly and welcoming. Pricing was perfect; tattoos were even better. Definitely go if you have the chance.

I went to Laura at Monarch tattoo and she was amazing. You have to put a deposit down for your piece, but it goes to your tattoo. It can only be paid in cash. The day of your tattoo you can pay the remaining balance by card if you wanted. She's beyond skilled and every piece I've seen I am blown away. I highly reccomend her and her shop to anyone on or coming to Oahu wanting work done.

Aaron is an amazing artist! My son and I came in for a consultation and were able to get in quickly for our sessions. Very clean and professional, with the Aloha vibe all around the shop. Aaron was so patient in creating just the right design for me to fit in a very challenging spot and was very gentle and kind to my son (this was his first tattoo). I will definitely be back and will recommend Monarch Tattoo Studio to all my friends and family. Thank you, Aaron!

I'm from California. My husband and I both got tattoos here ,I was a bit nervous since it was my first tattoo. when I show the tattoo I wanted they made it happen.

Mike was awesome for us and did great artwork. Will definently be back for more! Everyone was friendly and nice.

Perry Howell

Mike was great from the minute I walked in to see if I wanted another tattoo. Looked at his art, we talked about a couple things he could do. He did a sketch up and two hours later I had the best tattoo I've ever had. Great skill and great work.

Great place Great artists

Great place to get a tattoo. Clean, good music, and now have air conditioning! Aaron gave me my first tattoo last year when I was vacationing in Oahu. I came back and asked him to add a hummingbird. His design was excellent and he blended the hummingbird in with the hibiscus that you wouldn't know they were done a year apart. What a great artist. This is his passion and I am so glad I found him Mahalo :)

Aaron Kia is one of the best artists I've ever encountered. His lines are crisp, his ideas are original, and he knows how to interpret what you want into a beautiful piece of art. If you ever get the chance, go see Aaron and the rest of the Monarch Tattoo crew!

Benjamin Sherman

We had an awesome experience here. Mike did a wonderful flower on my wife's hand and Rick did a traditional father tattoo on the back of my arm. The shop is very clean the staff was great. Easy location to get to. We will be planning another trip to the island probably just to come here again. Loved it guys thank you.

My husband and I were on our Honeymoon last week and stumbled across this studio thanks to Google :) Aaron Kia did AMAZING work on both of us, and I can’t believe how even more beautiful our tattoos get everyday. He is a great person and was super fun to talk to. He also had some cool jams playing while we were there. Didn’t recognize any of the songs but loved every one!! I’m not sure I’d let anyone else tattoo me after seeing what Aaron is capable of. We are forever grateful for Aaron and his talent! Thanks for working with our busy schedule while were were in Oahu and exceeding our expectations!! Mahalo!! - Shawn & Robert

Aaron Kia is an amazing artist. I wanted something to represent my Mom, who had just passed, and we brought her ashes home. Aaron was so kind and gentle with his one of a kind tattoo designed just for me.

Debbie Melton

Clean and great ARTIST, Aaron Kia!

Ariana Luciano

Amazing work by amazing artists! This is my most recent piece done by Laura!

jared j

Great vibe in the shop. Looking forward to finishing up my ink!

Vance Ohana

My husband and I have both gotten tattoos from Aaron and Rick at Monarch. Our experiences has been great. Easy artists to talk to, reasonably priced for the quality of work, and we get many compliments on our tattoos.

Justin Oles

These guys were great. Got us in on our honeymoon and worked with my difficult wife and I to give us exactly what we wanted. Highly recommend.

Valerio Cosio

Best Hawaiian tattoo for our honey moon :-)

Kristin Bode

Awesome vibes and great first tattoo experience. Couldn't be happier with the wrist tat from Mikey Monarch.

Robert Stride, Jr.

Mike and his staff were very accommodating. With the little time, 5 of us had, on Oahu, Mike was able to get us in and create personalized & custom works of art that we proudly show off to our families and friends in WA. What a tribute to my mom/Aunty/grandma whose love for the ocean and others still resonates in the True Spirit of Aloha. I call mine “Umi-Honu,” Sea Turtle, vibrant in color with the waves and calming sea to bring peace to mind, body, and soul. God’s Blessing & Much Aloha

Mystie Foote

Both my husband and I got tattoos. Aaron did amazing work! He's a true artist.

Richard Lee

I showed up at 3:45, to get a quote, the door was locked and the guys inside looked at me then ignored me. Hours showed they were open. Very disappointed, customer service is kind of lacking.

Charles Burrell

Nancy Davies

My husband and I have had great experiences with Monarch.. the artists are amazing.

Karen Condict

Awesome, amazing, outstanding, clean place to get a tattoo!

Tonya Miller

This place is clean, professional, and highly skilled. Every single artist in there. They are fairly priced in their work. Played great music, had AC, easy location to get to. We were happy with our results. If I lived there, I would get more work done again, by any one of them.

Tammie Vance

Awesome shop

Jesse B

This place is legit. Rick is one of a kind.I couldn't have asked for anything more, he did a killer job on my piece. If you want to get tattooed by a professional then go here. Whether you want color, or black and grey this shop does it all extremely well. Thanks Rick!!

Very clean, all the artist are very talented, they are all very funny i enjoyed my time there and if i get to come back to Hawaii that will be the first place i will be stopping!! Rick I love my tattoo so much! Thank you! From WI

The artists here do quality work, seating is comfortable, and the artists are great people. The store is small so be careful about when you go because without a deposit/appointment it is first come first serve. The after care products require cash only buy their smallest tin is only $5 and that can take care of a good size tattoo (bigger than the size of most person's hands). Great place to get custom work done, and very clean.

sarah Benningfield

We were thoroughly impressed! We were in town on vacation and they were able to get us in right away! Not to mention the artist was able to deal with my twitchy-ness!

Jake Etzel

Great accommodation they were able to get me in at the end of our trip Aaron was awesome.
