Reviews of Sacred Art Tattoo Waikiki (Tattoo Shop)

Bella Clark

Very disappointing, went in for my first tattoo. Paid $90 for a tattoo that took less then 10 minutes, and it turned out bad. Daniel did my tattoo and he was pressing so hard that it actually scarred and it does not look good at all. Very disappointed and will not be ever returning.

Good shop. Good artists. Good times.

Had my second tattoo done in 2 years here. The guys are all very friendly, non intimidating and professional. My tattoo is just one of Peanuts Snoopy not a fancy tribal one or a typical Hawaiian one , but I love it!!! Thanks Mike

Susan Morris

Friendly artists that are happy to work with you to ensure that you get exactly what you want.

Cooles Tattoo Studio nähe Waikiki Beach. Termine sind vor Ort machbar. Hatte mir im Vorfeld über die Website einen Tattoowierer rausgesucht und kontaktiert. Hatte mein Date mit Mike D und bin sehr zufrieden.

Went with my Aunt to get her tattoo fixed and add to. Jay did an amazing job. Professional, clean, great art. If you're looking for a good shop, go there. Also saw Daniel work and he was very meticulous and understanding with a newbie to ink. Explained everything and even though the guy chickened out, Daniel was good about it and the customer still left on great terms.

Elsie Savoie

What a awesome and great experience I had. Everyone was so friendly and nice. Every time I come to here this is the only place I get tattoos. Shane did my purple poppies and they turned out wonderful and I liked that they where reasonably priced. Definitely will be back next time iam here again.☺

Frank Orton

Very professional.

Tillie Field

Friendly team and easy to deal with. Honest about what will work, and experienced enough to give you sound advice to make your ideas come to life. My tattoo came out great

Kristie Holman

Jake helped design a custom tattoo and did a great job. Fun environment!

Leslie Ostrer

Love my new tattoo! Great job and great patience. Thank you

Jess Louise

Awesome place. Mike was an absolute pleasure and made the whole experience so fun. Highly recommend here for your next tattoo.

Dustin Gudgel

This place is great! My wife & I got tattoos the last day of our vacation and they look awesome! The guys are all very nice & laid back, very comfortable environment. Thanks for the great ink!

Josh Smith

Daniel is the man! Got my first tattoo here a week ago and the experience was awesome. This shop has a great vibe and awesome people who work there. If you're thinking about going in for some work, do it - you won't regret it. I spent a little over 5 hours in the chair and Daniel was great. He made sure we took breaks, even if I didn't think I needed them, kept asking to make sure I was doing alright and had some good conversation. Couldn't be happier with the end result and will definitely be back for more next time I visit Oahu.

Charles Parker

Brandon thank you for the great tattoo. 6-7 hours on the table and your professionalism never failed, your work never suffered. Your a great artist.

Kasey Eckelbecker

I have gotten three tattoos here. They can do pretty much any style and are all really nice guys. Daniel is my favorite artist. Only downside is they can get crowded because of walk ins especially in tourist season.

Michele Torres

My daughter and I came in to get our navels pierced, and it was Awesome! Very clean, very professional and overall great vibe from all that work there. Next time we are visiting...I will be getting a tattoo :) Thanks for the souvenir!

Karen Downton

Absolutely brilliant service and great value for money

We had Kevin M tattoo myself my husband and daughter today and we couldn’t be happier. Kevin did an amazing job and was very friendly with such a great sense of humour. If we ever visit Hawaii again I will be getting another tattoo from Kevin :)

Adam Gandolfi

Great place, talented artists. My daughter was very happy with her tatto.

Matthew palmquist

Incredible honest and knowledgeable from start to finish. Great guys with a true passion about the industry. Good tattoos aren’t cheap Cheap tattoos aren’t good! Truly top notch

Heidi Padilla

Enjoyed my experience recently at Sacred Art Tattoo. The shop is very clean and inviting. Shorty my tattoo artist was very professional, clean and very funny. My friend and I spent a whole day at the shop and enjoyed the experience. We both love our tattoos and will definitely be back!! We already have our next tattoos planned! Mahalo Shorty we will definitely tell all our friends!!

Ken Spellman

Great place to go for a tattoo. Got one while on vacation. Chris was awesome in designing a great tattoo. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to have a tattoo done. Great service and a very clean environment.

Chris LeBrescu

Got my first tattoo at Sacred Tattoo while on vacation in Waikiki! So happy with Chris and the work he did! Very professional and clean environment. Chris worked with me on every detail to insure I got what I wanted. Would definitely recommend this place!

Mary Guyton

Nice shop. Mike was very welcoming. Chill atmosphere. Nice work!

Wio Double you

I'm really disappointed, I did a tattoo in August 2016 and only two months later, part of the tattoo was erased. I contacted them and I had a person who was sorry for me and offered to refund me $ 50. Since no news we have made various exchanges in writing and it is nobody there ever done anything for me so do not go. It was that I was really important to me as well as where it was made (hawaii). Response to Kevin : I give you four times ,the number of credit card ,and what you asking me ( on Facebook messenger) Doesn't matter now. I return on a tattoo shop for the erase part.

Tristan Cabalar

Great spot great artists. Be sure to schedule an appt cause it can get busy.

Paul Clark

Great place, great price, great service

so i went to this place to get my first tattoo, first mistake. the guy that was working on me was rude and it just seem to be judging me for what i asked him to do on me. he pretty much told me my tattoo was dumb and he knew i was just going to end up covering up later on. the tattoo was so simple yet he ended up messing it up. then when i told him that he had a mistake (that was my second mistake) he was trying to sell me the idea that my skin somehow managed to twist so it was my fault. i paid 60 dollars on a 10 min work and it came out wrong. weeks later i decided to go back to tell him to fix his "art" (third mistake) and he was busy, so i asked him if i needed an appointment he said NO. just drop by anytime, well i did.... two other times and he either was out for lunch or busy... so the third time i get there he was upset with me, treating me in a rude way, with a "let's just get done with this so you can stfu" and after covering the first tattoo, he still managed to mess up the new one. the symmetry of the work was off, he free handed it. he didnt took his time to do it. i wouldn't go to this place unless you dont care what they do on your skin you're rich and like to be talked like a inmature little kid. Well at least that was my experience in this place.

Kiss Àgoston

The place looks great the other day I got a tattoo from Danial he is the best!

Charles Trull

Good artist, good work.

Simon George

Great work love my tattoo Thanks heaps for a awesome tattoo Mike Davis

Faye-Louise Gräfe

If we could, we'd give 2 stars for the appointment/organization and 5 stars for the tattoo artists. We made an appointment 3 days before with Mark for 6pm. On the day we arrived five minutes early, but Mark wasn't there?! In addition another tattoo artist had called in sick, leaving poor Tomo (who actually had his day off) and a colleague of his from SFA (who was helping out and didn't actually work there) alone with all the work. When we got there, they were obviously behind schedule and asked us to wait. After 45 minutes we were just about to leave - slightly annoyed as this was our treat on our last night in Honolulu - when the lady from SFA (sorry we forgot you name) was ready to start on my husbands tattoo. Right after that Tomo was ready for mine as well. So much for the appointment/organization... Now to do good part: Tomo and the lady from SFA did a brilliant job on drawing our tattoos just the way we wanted them and really took there time. The results are even better and we couldn't have asked gor two other tattoo artist!!! Thanks for your great work, but please get the organization sorted ;-)

George Wilder

Great work, experienced artists. Good vibe.

Edward W. Davidson

My family was so pleased with our experience in getting my daughter a tattoo! Everyone was extremely friendly and made her feel welcome. Super clean environment, Adam did great work, they have honest prices, and best of all my daughter is happy so I am happy!!!

Travis Morrison

SHAWN owes me $4000 i would recomend not going due to the fact that you will be dealing with amatuers and unprofessionals. They do have good art work and actual tats but if you like the front attendant chillin on the sofa while you are looking for work and using unexplained vulgarty at you than yes this is your unsanitized and unethical place to be!!!!

Siri Pype

Love the palm tree and three little turtles I got it from Mike

Ramona Ubaldo

While on vacation for spring break 2016 in Wikkii let my daughter get her first tattoo. Mark was awesome and he did a fantastic job!!! Plan to go back next year for a mother daughter tattoo :-) definitely recommend the trip!!! Thanks Mark. xoxo Sami xoxo.

Anne Minard

My boyfriend and I both wanted sea-themed tattoos to commemorate our first-ever visit to Hawaii. We booked our appointments well in advance and were looking forward to them. We had a great experience! Daniel did my sea turtles and Kawika did my boyfriend’s stingray. They were skilled, professional and fun. We’d definitely go back!

Jamie Dibble

James did an amazing job im definitely going back when i get a chance great design price and treated awesomely as soon as i walked one of the other artists even went to the trubble of getting me a water durring the sesh.

Jennifer Gallagher

Tattoo itself is good but the atmosphere in the shop is terrible. I felt uncomfortable and that I was being mocked for being a tourist. Also I feel it was overpriced When I spoke to a guy in the shop a few days previous and told him what I wanted he quoted me 80 to 100 dollars , final tattoo was 220 dollars Because of all of this I wouldn’t recommend this place. Absolutely no customer service what so ever , actually ... the opposite. **update Oct 2019** Following Kevin’s reply below I emailed him twice and have had no response. My tattoo is completely faded now and looks like it was scribbled on. This is an absolute disgrace.

Tyler Nelson

Kawika was awesome. First time tattoo and he absolutely killed it. Took a favorite picture of mine and silhouette it into a beautiful scene. Highly recommend, awesome place!

Dana Martin

Mark does great work. Straight lines good shading, fast.

Michael LeBeau

This place is the shop to go to if you want to be treated right and taken care of, MIKE is the man and knows what is doing and is here to screw your over like skin deep and victoria, those places will treat you like you don’t matter. Go see Mike!

stephanie Evans

Daniel was awesome and we were super happy with our tattoos

William Alonso

Awesome work and a great atmosphere! The people make you feel welcome and at home!

Mike Swizzy

Fricken Cherry bruh

Nina

Got my belly pierced by Chris and he was awesome!

Mathew Kudlica

Great people work there

Jessica Morrow

I am so pleased with my experience here! I went to get my first tattoo, and I'm literally the biggest baby so I was super nervous. Everyone was friendly and made me feel welcome. People react to getting a tattoo differently and I'm unfortunately a poor soul that was able to tough through it enough to get it finished. After Vince finished, I didn't feel so good and everyone was kind and made sure I was better before I left. If I can ever get the courage to get another tattoo, I will definitely be coming back here.

Izzy Isbell

Great place to get a quality piece of art done in a clean and professional environment with a great selection of artist and Hawaiian influenced art along side many traditional and modern pieces as well. As a Google guide I rate this place an easy 10/10.

missy terveen

Very nice guy that did mine.

Christy Herron Herron

George created and tattooed a plumeria flower design behind my left ear. He did a great job.

Jenny Kerr

I had my first ever tattoo here . I wanted a memory from my time in Hawaii. Love my tattoo and my experience with this shop.

Charlene Mariner

My husband got a Polynesian shoulder tattoo, it came out fabolous. Daniel did exactly what he wanted. My husband has over 30 tatttos & been to multiple different shops/artists. Daniel is by far his favorite & the best he’s ever seen. He free handed & very talented. Definitely need to see Daniel! My hubby will wait till we go back to Hawaii next year to get more work done with Daniel.

Eric Gamez

My first tattoo!!! Like a lot of tourist we got matching tattoos with the group we travelled with. We all got sea turtles with different designs and we are all very happy with the results. Even though we were walk ins they were able to help two of us with tattoos one night and we got appointments for the other two a couple of nights later. We appreciate the accommodations and the lovely work. Thanks guys great work! We love it!

Tracey Herbert

Walked in today and got my first tattoo ever.... Kevin was fantastic, working from a design that my husband had drawn for me after being diagnosed with MS. Could not be happier and cannot say thank you enough

Steven Broadwell

This is definitely a GREAT place to get tattooed, probably my favorite. The prices are more than reasonable, the staff is extremely friendly and fun, and their art is incredible. I gave my artist, Daniel, an idea, and so far he's blown my expectations out of the water. They do walk-ins, some simple piercings, and of course appointments. Parking is pretty easy, a small walk to a parking lot that's only a dollar per hour and you're setup. The talent here, atmosphere, and pricing are all exceptional.

Christina reed

This place is incredible. thank you for the best tattoo that I have. I'm in love. It's so good it looks like a sticker. Even 4 months later . Thanks Mike d .

Daniel White

Loved it there, was a walk in for my first tattoo an hour before closing on a sunday, despite all of this the service was quick, they seemed happy to have me and I couldn't be happier. if I'm ever in the area again looking for another tattoo I'm definitely returning here

michael sheaffer

Been there twice on vacation. Had good work done and loved the atmosphere.

Brandon Mason

Fantastic place to have work done. Had Mr Siichi do a fantastic hula girl on my leg. It’s been 2 weeks and looks fantastic. Have nothing but good things to say about him. Went above and beyond for a customer. While being there all the other artists were doing fantastic work too. Do recommend.

Suzi Kasemeyer

Fantastic place and awesome artist.

Mike Bass

Great place... Great people... Great atmosphere. I've been tattooed all over the world. This is one of the best shops I've encountered.

Makayla Stone

I got my first tattoo on vacation at sacred art while in Hawaii. I went in nervous not knowing if I was going to be able to get inked because i'm 17, and I don't have the same last name as my mother. This wasn't a problem and I got my tattoo quick and easy. Sean drew up exactly what I wanted and I was done in less then 10 minutes. I would definitely recommend sacred art if you want to get a tattoo while on vacation. I am very pleased with the tattoo that I have! I'm will definitely be back there next vacation.

Terry Ford

Kevin M was an absolutely professional and friendly. He made my first tattoo a fun and pleasent experience. Ask for him and you won't be disappointed.

Ren Panda

Great tattoo shop. Staff is friendly and clean. Mike H. did our tattoos. We are a group of four that got matching tribal-style turtle tattoos. Unlike other shops we were quoted at, Mike took the time to really talk to us and give us great and honest advice before he even knew we would be his clients. Very easy going and calm experience and it was all of our very first tattoo. Couldn’t recommend more! Great and clean work!

Julia Yank

Mike did an awesome job, was quick and as painless as possible! I am very plesded with my plumeria! What a great way to commemorate our Hawaiian island vacation!

Stephanie Pfleger

I was recommended to Sacred Art by a friend. I went to Shawn. This was my 4th tattoo and I left there the happiest I have been. He was professional and very helpful. His work was beautiful and I loved his attitude. He has been doing this since 1997 and it definitely shows! I will be going back to him next time I am in Waikiki and recommend him to everyone.

Miss Porsche J

Daniel is amazing. And very professional!!

Jaidyn Fisher

GO SEE MIKE! Dude is super cool. He doesnt want to take your money. He will tell you if it's a stupid idea or not straight up. His priority is the customer and money is 2nd unlike most tattoo shops. Reasonable prices (we got tats in Vegas for the same price range) and they look AMAZING. Definitely go here and get Mike.

Jackie Balliot

Had a great experience getting a small wrist tattoo from Vince! It looks perfect!

Benjie Benjamin

I NEVER give 5 stars hahahaha but here I am giving 5 stars to Mike Davis... I had a tattoo that I mostly liked but it had faded and become flat so I was looking for a tattoo artist who would touch it up and add a few things... without changing it up too much. Mike did just that. I didn't need an great personality... Just a great tattoo artist... But really what a cool guy. If I was looking for someone to hang out with he would be on the short list but actually I had to come home and bring with me a great memory of a perfect day with a really amazing guy... AND a tattoo that I love love love!

He Xiaoyu

If you can find a better tattoo place with better price and nicer artists

Shaun Tidman

Got a great tattoo here whilst on holiday at the Hilton Hawaii Village resort July 2015, They are right next door, great place cool people.Its an unforgettable place Hawaii. What better Souvenir could you take back home ;-)

Florie Hiatt

Awesome and funny guys amazing work!!!!

M Brandt

Daniel did my tattoos & I totally love them! When I'm back on the island I will be back for another! Thanks again!

Carol Kuykendall

Awesome guys. Beautiful work

Deena Roman

Great shop and great group of tattoo artist! I love the work that Neil did on arm. My mom also had work some there and it was also done great. I will for sure go there again if ever in Hawaii. If I’m In Waikiki and looking for a place to get a tattoo I highly refer you to them.

codeh d

One of the best tattoo shops ive ever gone too. Very professional but relaxed atmosphere. I get my work done by Daniel who I couldn't recommend more. Every artist can do Polynesian style and various other styles of inkwork. 10/10 would let them stab again.

Carissa Millan

Wanted my first tattoo while on vacation last month so headed to Sacred Art. I was a walk in and was helped immediately by Tomo who helped me view any options that resembled what I described. Pulled out a beautiful draw up he had done and I was sold. Great service. Tomo was great and the tattoo is beautiful. Everybody at home loves it and I get compliments daily.

Bianca Marton

It was my first tattoo, I was super nervous but Mike H did an amazing job, all the artists who were there were super nice. Mike was funny and made sure I felt comfortable. 10/10 experience I would definitely go back again. Thank you so much!

David Yurevich

The reasons I give this tattoo shop a one star is because 1. the final result of the tattoo came out poor quality in my opinion 2. The tattoo artist was pressing down to hard because he was saying it would make it more dark when really it only made it scab from what another tattoo artist told me I have had to go somewhere else for my touch up even tho they offered a free touch up but I would rather have you do it one time and done right

Jennifer R.

Great place, real fun and easy going. Will tell you how it is and welcome walk ins. $80 on a small tat and a free touch up went perfect. Had Mark Claunch a real sweet and awesome artist. Need to ask for him! Thanks Mr. Claunch for the touch up and new tattoo, absolutely love it!

Brittani Dawson

Great place. Everyone one is friendly and decently priced. Making this my go to tatto parlor!
