The YAK
My experience with Rachel at Exotic Eye Tattoo was nothing short of amazing!
My wife and I were excited at the possibility of getting very meaningful matching tattoos while on a recent AKation down to Homer but after trying to lock down a 3-hour slot a day before our arrival, we didn't think it was going to happen as she was booked...
But, after sharing our story and what these tattoos meant to us and our family, I immediately sensed an unexpected compassion which soon turned into a desire to try and fit us in, in some way or another, even if it fell outside of the typical open hours of her business!
Amazingly, after a day or so, after hearing of a recent cancellation, we were thankful to hear that we were in! You must understand that at this point I would have been happy with the matching tattoos, regardless of Rachel's bedside manner or detail quality of the tattoos. What took this experience to another level was the enjoyment I had while Rachel inflicted a solid hour of pain onto my arm, followed by an awesome tattoo that is extremely detailed and better than I could have hoped for! I get daily compliments about Rachel's art and skill with the pen!
In addition to all of this, my wife almost passed out during the final stages of her tattoo and Rachel was amazing! She went next door and bought her a sugary tea, donated her own Brazil nuts, cooled her down with cold rags, and patiently and compassionately waited for 15-20 minutes until she came back to reality, all while her next appointment waited! While she could have rushed the whole process, she stayed extremely calm and collected!
Top the whole thing off with a family picture (now with beautiful matching tattoos) on the peer in Homer...BOOM! Rachel is awesome! Exotic Eye Tattoo is awesome! The whole experience was awesome! I can now understand why people have personal tattoo artists as I have just got one myself! I'll be back!!!
Do yourself a favor and skip the local tattoo joint, book a trip up or down to Homer, and get your money worth at Exotic Eye Tattoo! You will thank me (and Rachel) for it later!

Got a great tattoo with my sister. Becca hooked us up with a piece to commemorate our dad's time in AK. Super cool and talented artists at Exotic Eye. Thanks Becca for the great work and thanks Rachel for creating ohana vibe. Aloha

I wandered in to Exotic Eye Tattoo on the forth of July weekend. I had been thinking about getting my first tattoo. Talked to Rachel about what I had in mind. She was busy but she always is. She took the time to see what I wanted. She set me up with a time that really worked for me. I was super impressed. So tattoo day came she took me in and made me a cup of tea and I felt right at home and she went to work. 4 1/2 hrs.later we were done .
What a great lady and amazing artist
I am so glad I wandered in her shop!!
She took my drawing and put it on my arm and it was even more beautiful when she was done.

I can't wait to go back to Exotic Eye for my next tattoo! I have been thinking about this tattoo for 6 years and Rachel exceeded my expectations with how it turned out! She was quick, thorough, and everything was very clean in the shop! Plus that view! Wow! Homer is lucky to have such talented tattoo artists!

Exotic Eye Tattoo is an amazing place to get a tattoo. The atmosphere was laid back, relaxed, and inviting and the ladies were very sweet, knowledgeable, and amazing artists. Sara is an awesome artist with a great perspective and an eye for individuality and imagination. I will be going back for more.

I got a tattoo from Sarah. I had a few a ideas but mostly asked her to design it. It was beautiful on paper and I love it even more on my skin! Working with Sarah was by far the best tatoo experience I've ever had. These ladies are so talented and all around awesome people!

Rachel did an amazing job on my shoulder piece!! She took her time in making sure everything was the way I wanted it. The shop is in a beautiful location with an amazing view.

Awesome experience, small shop so a very personal/personable experience with the artists. Rachel did a fantastic cover up for me and worked wonders with design adjustments. 10/10 will be going here in the future.
