Reviews of Soul Signature Tattoo (Tattoo Shop)

Shane O'Toole

After talking to Lelani several months out I went and got a hand tapped tatau by Sua Aisea. Lelani, Aisea, and every one in the shop made my wife and I not only feel at home but part of a family. We loved the entire experience with Aisea and look forward to coming back upon our return. Truly an incredible artist and experience an something I will never forget for the rest of my life!

Had the traditional tapping done. Absolutely thrilled with the outcome. Aisea nailed the design and he was so nice to deal with.

Great artists that know what they're doing

Great experience and the staff were really helpful when I was really indecisive. I felt like I was in good hands and they know what they're talking about. Would highly recommend

Sehr kompetente, saubere Arbeit. DANKE Kyle! Ich habe mich sehr sicher und wohl gefühlt bei Dir. Außerdem sehr nett unterhalten und von allen Mitarbeitern und Künstlern sehr freundlich aufgenommen worden.

Andre Barbosa

Great experience! First tattoo for my wife and I. Friends recommended Lopeti. He is an amazing artist! His portfolio shows how genuine he work is. Soul signature was very accomodating and easy to work with. My session went past closing hours, but Lopeti was machine! He kept going! Mahalo nui Lopeti!

Went in with 1 idea came out with another not bad but not great either. Was an ok experience. Everyone was nice and welcoming.

I got my first tattoo here last week and am so happy that I got it at Soul Signature Tattoo! I was really nervous waiting for my consultation but as soon as I saw Aisea my anxiety went away. Vinnette was a great help in getting the appointment set and helping me feel prepared for my tattoo. I got my tattoo tapped and thought the whole experience was amazing! Aisea and I talked about why I wanted a tattoo and he came up with the design. I am so in love with my tattoo, what it represents, and the experience I went through to get it. Couldn't recommend Soul Signature Tattoo and Aisea enough!

My son got a tat for his 18 birthday. Wanted something to Express his coming of age and graduation from high school. Told him we wanted to do it in 3 phases. Arm, pec, n back or should blade as he reaches his accomplishments n stages in his life. So this tat would be a tattoo in progress n would have meaning to him and us as a family. Too many just start tats for no reason as a fad. But polys as a culture had meaning to their tattoos. W e trusted Aisea and wanted a polynesian tat that would reflect the 1st stage of his life as a hawaiian but giving respect to all polynesian cultures n embracing it. We trusted Aisea with coming up with a design. He sat and talked with him and spent quite a bit of time just building off of his "mana". Then drew it out on his arm. A beautiful reflection of polynesian roots n culture. They will not duplicate someone else's tat. I saw that first hand when a guy wanted the rocks tat done. He was told no. What they did was a version of his own. Respect. Don't copy tattoos. Not cool. Thankful we got Aisea Toetuu. He's the real deal. Good man inside n out. Now my son completed his 2nd phase of his life. He graduated from college. Its been 5 years. He plans to get his peck done by Aisea.

Brian Le

Amazing studio with nothing but positive vibes. All talented and respectable artist. Got a tatau by the traditional tapping method by the one and only Aisea and it was a once in a lifetime experience. I highly recommend this shop especially if you want something tribal. They also do more than tribal too of course.

Kelsie Pao

Best artist's around!! Overall best experience ever! Family type vibe.

Ricardo Bodkin

If you want top notch quality work, go here. They are talented and in magazines and are very well known! Call ahead to work out the details of your appointment and you can leave Hawaii with an awesome souvenir. We've been there 4 times already!

Sharon Williams

Love Soul Signature. Was in Hawaii for the first time 2 weeks ago. Waited til the last night before we left to get a tattoo. We went in to get my husband's first tattoo and was met by Popetti. He listened to what he wanted and did a hand drawing on his shoulder Polynesian style. Beautiful piece of art!!! I myself had Kyle and he did a hybiscus on my ankle which is beautiful also. Le lani was very accommodating & friendly too. She assured my husband he would get a nice piece that he would be proud of. It definitely boosted his confidence since he was a little nervous. I would highly recommend Soul Signature to anyone. Now back in Houston, Tx & can't find anyone that can do the Polynesian style tatoo's. Thank you..Popetti, Le lani and Kyle for making this such a memorable & wonderful experience!!

Kamryne Maae

Got an incredible tattoo done by Lopeti, he is an amazing artist!! I will definitely be back to add on. The whole shop is super friendly and worked well with scheduling my appointment.

Tommy Mueller

Very friendly artists. Very professional. They make sure they have your exact design how you want it. I have gotten 2 tattoos from here and will continue to get any other pieces done here. They will redraw your design till its the way you like it and will ask the other artists in the shop to make sure lines are straight, the design looks right, and if the placement is perfect.

Thomas Cadena

Awesome place. Had my first tattoo done here. Come here you won't be disappointed

Nathan Sanchez

Quality work and good prices. Clean and knowledgeable staff. Great hand tapped tattoos and Polynesian designs. Mahalo

marieve allard

I visited the place on a friend's recommendation and got hooked. Super friendly, easy to find, the place is extremely clean and welcoming. I had a quick consultation with Lopeti and was scheduled for 2 days later as I was going back home shortly after. Lopeti is an amazing artist, I couldn't love my tattoo more than I do! I only told him a few things about myself and what I was very vaguely looking for and let him work his magic. He has a very gentle touch and was encouraging when things got more painful. I will definitely go back and add to my already stunning leg piece!! I would give the place 10 stars if I could! Mahalo!

R. Sette

I had the honour of receiving a traditional tattoo by the legend Aisea. It was a once in a lifetime experience, I am forever grateful and thankful. The tattoo is absolutely beautiful. I highly recommend Soul Signature Tattoo, all artists, staff were amazing and professional. Aloha!

Marko Joannou

Amazing experience! I came in for a consultation after having researched the history behind Suluape Aisea and his passion for this art. I believe as many do that the person creating the images on your soul are as important as the tattoo's themselves. I didn't allow enough time to book with Suluape Aisea however I had the pleasure of meeting his student Kyle, who ended up doing my tattoo. This is my third piece and a substantial area to be worked on. Kyle is one of the most creative and artistic individuals I've ever met. I shared my thoughts, what things have the greatest meaning in my life and how I wanted it represented. Kyle's work is nothing less than immaculate. While I was getting my tattoo done, I had the pleasure of meeting and chatting Suluape Aisea. He is a caring and gentle soul, passionate about his art and a genuine gentleman. Kyle gives credit to his teacher Suluape Aisea for the art he has learned and this is not just a tattoo shop, this is a spiritual place where the body's creation is a reflection of your inner soul. Thank you for your care and look forward to seeing you again for the next chapter.

Geo Lono

Great place, good people. Very friendly and helpful. I have returned many times and my artist makes sure everything is okay. Would definitely recommend people to go here and see what these professionals can do.

Diouron Olivier

My name is Oliver and I've just got tattoo by Lopeti with a polynesian tattoo on my back. First, normaly i don't let any review but since getting a tattoo is a great step for some people, like me, i feel like i have to do it. Because I'm really really really glad i chose Soul Signature. I'm so proud of my tattoo now. It's all I wanted, it's meaningful, unique and beautiful. Second of all, since i don't know any other tattoo shop, i can only relate my own experience and so i don't say 'these guys are the best', but what i know from what i observed is that you can go and get tattoo with closed eyes at Soul Signature Tattoo. So, I arrived at Soul Signature with the main meaning, the kind of tattoo and a picture of something really close of what I wanted. Lopeti looked at the picture for a long period of time. Actually, he was already memorising the picture and visualizing how to appropriate the tattoo to make my tattoo unique. In fact, in contrary to others, when it was my time to get tattooed, he didn't look a single time at the picture when he drew the first part. Inside of me, i was a little scared. but then I looked at the draw in the mirror and I was astonished, amazed. My girlfriend who attended at all time said to me that he was completely absorded by what he was doing. He was in a high state of concentration. The result is just fantastic to me. Lopeti is really à great artist. And as said in others reviews, he is nice, steady and very humble. That's the man for the job. Furthermore, the atmosphere inside the shop is really perfect. It makes you at ease and releases the stress you can have. and all the artists are really interested by the work of the other. If they feel so, they give their point of view to the artist. So you can feel that they are all concerned about you. Maybe That's not the case for all tattoos but That's the feeling I have for mine.

Lisa Schuh

Felt scammed. Told them the tattoo I wanted and they quoted me a price. When they were 1/2 way done all of sudden the price went up because it was so complicated. What was I going to do say no and leave with it 1/2 done?

(Translated by Google) Excellent tattoo artist and very good atmosphere! (Original) Excellent tatoueur et très bonne ambiance!

Excellent tattoo great work

Emily Schulz

I contacted Soul Signature to have a traditional tap tattoo done. Tattooing is very important to me and when I met with Aisea, he was very interested in my planned tattoos and designed my tattoo to harmonize. I had the tattoo done yesterday and it was fantastic. He was kind and Leilani was also wonderful. I have a beautiful, important to me and gorgeous contemporary Polynesian tattoo. My husband had a gorgeous lighthouse tattoo completed by Mike. The tattoo is extremely well done, arranged and completed. We're visiting from the Midwest and have a number of tattoos - I would highly recommend this shop. They put their heart into their work and it shows.

Michael Wister

Mike at soul signature and the rest of the guys and gals are truly awesome. I would fly back to their shop to have another tattoo and skip the beach. He took my idea of to lion cubs to a total work of art.

Adam Kolodin

Last week I was in Hawaii on business and wanted to finish a tattoo that was only a word fro many years earlier. I walked into the shop not knowing what to expect. To my surprise Mike and the team were happy to help walk me through the options and make an appointment that was convenient. I couldn’t be happier with my tattoo and the staff at Soul Signature. I would use them again any time!!!

Robbie Cavender

the best traditional tattoo you can get on the island

sandy Tautua

Their Sincere & positive attitude is genuine to each individual. They set you up so you are fully satisfied No Doubt

Jenny Ojerio

I live on the mainland now and I've been coming back here for about 5 years- That's how good they are. They do amazing work and really listen to you and guide, not tell, you towards the best possible options. The shop is always clean as well. My first tattoo here years ago took almost 6 hours and the entire time they were so kind, funny, professional, and constantly offered to get me a drink or snack to make sure I was as comfortable as possible. I get all my tattoos done by Eugene (he's the man) but all the artists here are amazing. They really help each other out and you can tell it's like a family atmosphere. I ALWAYS recommend soul signature to my friends and family.

Rebecca Ford

Got ink done by Lopeti. Talented and sincere artist who did everything free hand. Will definitely be coming back next time I'm home on Oahu! Also, their address has CHANGED: 1750 Kalakaua Ave #110, Honolulu, HI 96826.

Ryan Lindig

Two hours of hand-tapped art from Sua; It was expensive but well worth the price, I have absolutely zero complaints. I didn't even choose the peice, but I'm extremely happy with it

Larry Fennell

Best on the island

Zarley Soda

Great people amazing talent and one of a kind ink.

Michael Ammann

Awesome tattoo studio in Honolulu. Aisea had made my tattoo, i love it!

Janet Johansson

Super friendly, professional and helpful! Great work! I highly recommend Soul Signature Tattoo!

Valerie Luce

Wish I could give zero stars, but it's not an option so 1 it is. Made an appointment, put down a $60 deposit. It states on their appointment slips if you cancel before 24 hours of the appointment you can get your deposit back. I had to cancel the appointment and did so before the 24 limit and they refused to give me back my deposit. Justin, who I had the appointment with was rude and disrespectful over the phone, basically telling.ke Oh well, too bad so sad you're not getting your money back. Go at your own risk.

Great price, especially for the amount of work that they put in. Shout-out to Lopeti for the design that he came up with. All of the artists seem to be friends and chat, giving the place a friendly atmosphere. They even stayed open two hours late for me to finish up a four hour tattoo and even used the piece I had on my chest to work with the one I got on my shoulder. I highly recommend checking this place out.

David leon

Got a great piece from them. If you want good tatau then this is the place!

Qendres Bushati

Me and my friend got our first tattoo by Justin and we loved it! The studio has soul and the people have been lovely at first side. Hopefully one day going back! :)

Heidi Schell

My husband and I got some really great artwork done at Soul Signature in Feb. 2016, Kyle was the tattoo artist and he did a great job. The shop was very clean and the atmosphere was great.. All the tattoo artist in the shop are very polite, have a great sense of humor and are really great tattoo artists, I can't wait to go back for more art work next year.. Thank you Soul Signature for making us feel at home in your shop, in my book you should get 10 STARS!!!!

Nathan L

Quality work! I can't say enough about the piece I got from Aisea, masterfully blended an old piece I had with the new; using both machine and tapping. This place does look a bit out of sorts from the outside. I did have the advantage of observing quite a few interactions in my very long appointment. The staff was very polite and respectful to everyone that came through the door. Negative vibes were kept to a low. I was impressed to see the number of return customers coming in, who had just come back to the island. I was even more impressed how well he remembered their clients even some from as far as three years back. As I said before, not enough positive things can be said about the shop. I would highly recommend it to anybody looking to get a good piece done.

NEET MAR

This is the best place in Oahu to get a tattoo! The artist's are very professional and humble. Lopeti is the man! He done a beautiful job on my tatt. Thank you so much for looking after us from start to finish!!
