Every time I go in for a tattoos or just to visit I am always greeted with awesome aloha. Everyone is friendly and everyone treats you like their ohana. Very clean very entertaining and always take pride and care in everything they do. And Kainoa is the best body art artist I have ever experienced. Fantastic experience every time. God bless Packing Ink.

Kainoa is an amazing artist and designed a beautiful piece for me that has alot of meaning for me and the symbolism behind the work shows his dedication and love for what he does thanks again will see you guys again in the future

The best shop, really chill atmosphere nice and quiet. Perfect for anyone looking to add to their ink, or for someone who's looking for their very first tat. The staff are all super passionate about their craft and super talented as well. Make sure to ask for Braddah Justin, he has done most of my tats and they have all been killer. If you go here YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED

Went to get tatted by brotha Justin Maldonado. His light hands and clean lines made me feel right at home. Checked on me throughout the session if I was comfortable or to see if I needed to take a break. His vision to see the tatt before it’s even put on the body is mind blowing. I told him what I wanted and it came out even better than I could ever imagine! Make sure to book your next appointment with him at Packing Ink in Kona!

Really awesome shop. I did 4 different tattoos over there and I plan on getting many more. Kainoa is super cool, makes me as well as who ever I bring feel really comfortable I never feel rushed Nd jus an overall great experience. And the most important thing is his artwork, crisp solid lines, perfect locations, has great vision of what he feels would look best. The work he does is way better than what I see in my head, every time, 4 for 4 with my tattoos. Highly recommend booking your next appointment here.

I loved this place because of the awesome work that my husband and I got while in Kona on vacation. The setting up process was easy and fast. Setting up the appointment was a breeze. We paid a small deposit to get in for one day. We were there all day getting large tattoo work. My husband's took longer and came out exactly how we wanted. Then mine was done freehand and was a cover up that came out just amazing! We were very happy with the work Kainoa did as well as the hospitality we received on a quick trip by before our appointment, by Lindsey, both owners. The shop was clean and focus was very professional. The tattoos were all excellent work and we recommend getting a little work done here for sure..

Justin Hough

This was an absolutely amazing experience for both my wife and myself. Kainoa is an amazing artist and extremely courteous. Him and his wife fit us in while we were on vacation from Nebraska we couldnt reccomend a better artist for any of your needs hes absolutely amazing from his line work ti his freehand straight on your skin from the time we walked into the shop they made us feel like family. We will definitely be finding time to return to the big island of Hawaii to continue getting work from him!! 100 percent recommend Packing ink tattoo for anyone looking for amazing work in the Kona area and beyond. Its definitely an experience you will never forget.

Kainoa who is the owner did my husband's first tattoo and will forever be his tattoo artist. Everything is amazing down to Kainoa's wife and children. My husband is so beyond happy with every single tattoo that Kainoa did. He will be back for more.

Andrew Kapur

Professional and highly skilled artists. Yet fun and friendly environment. Did a great job on my wife's tattoo. I could see three artists they're all working year around tattooing everyday. I could see decades of experience culminating in their work. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to get a tattoo. Blessings and Mahalo

Had a tattoo done on my arm only the outline. Since I moved here, I wanted to get it filled in. That is were I found Packing Ink in Kailua-Kona. Kaiona did an awesome job on it. But I will be coming in soon to get the rest finished up. The best tattoo shop in Kailua-Kona.

On my first trip to the Big Island I visited Packing Ink and met Joel and his family. I have been wanting to add Polynesian to an existing piece. The next day I gave Joel my arm and let him go with his own creativity. I cannot be happier with his work!!! The whole shop acts as a family and made me feel totally comfortable! I truly can’t say enough. I will return for the next one! Thank you to everyone at Packing Ink! Live Aloha Chris

Joshua Figueroa

Amazing artist

Michelle Browder

Justin is my go to. He has done a couple of mine and I can't say enough about how great he is. He truly takes pride in making sure you get exactly what you want. If you're not sure, allow him to deisgn something for you. You won't be disappointed. He is an amazing artist with an ability to connect with you. Light handed and caring. He can even work with jumpy nerves. And the atmosphere at Packing Ink is spectacular. Aloha is alive and well here. Lots of fun to be had.
