I've been getting tattooed by Kevin for almost 8 years. He's done one 3/4 sleeve and most of my other. His work, ideas and company has been the reason why I continue to seek him out. I left for the mainland in 2010 and lost contact until I found him here at Hale Nui early this year. It was well worth the wait and work to find him to get another amazing piece. He once again took my vision and made it so much better, not to mention the great shading, coloring and line work. I'll be back to get more as soon as I can.

First tattoo, Kujo was patient, spent time talking to me to make sure what I was looking for. Place was very hygienic. Everyone in the place was friendly and helpful. Would definately recommend.

I had a small turtle tattoo'd on my foot on my very first visit to Oahu. That was my first tattoo and I had it done at a shop that was VERY tourist friendly and once I had more tattoos I figured out that it was a pretty mediocre shop (Not Hale Nui!!) I now own a home in Oahu and was looking to have my turtle added to/covered up on a recent visit to the island. I went into every tattoo shop that I could find in the Waikiki area and asked about cover up tattoos, timing and appointments (it was important to me to have it done just a few days before leaving the island so that I didn't get too much sand and sun on it!!)
Hale Nui is small... but it is bright (not dark like some of the other shops I visited) and it is clean, and the staff are all COMPLETELY covered in their artwork and SUPER friendly and helpful!!! Little Chris asked me a few questions about what I was looking for, time frame, and then asked if he could take some pictures of my current turtle tattoo and then text me with some ideas he had. I LOVED the personal touch and we texted back and forth a few ideas and things that I liked that I found on the web. Little Chris drew me a unique and beautiful sea turtle with tribal tattoos on it!!
On the night that we had agreed upon Little Chris did an amazing job with his artistry and work on my foot. I love my turtle tattoo sooo much more now that it has the color and style that Little Chris was able to do just for me.
If you are looking for a picture off a poster board or something simple, they can definitely do it. If you are looking for something hard core, beautiful, unique and artistic this is the ONLY tattoo shop to go to!!!

Awesome experience. My first tattoo. Emiko was supper supportive and provided lots of valuable info. Huevo did the piece. Huevo listened to what I liked, hell I wasn't even sure of exactly what I wanted, Huevo delivered big time designing this on the go. Love it!!!

Was looking to get some ink done while visiting. Went to a few different places to find they were either closed or didn't have appointment availabilities for the time I was going to be there. Figured no biggie, would just wait to get back mainland to get it done. Went to have some Udon and they exit out the back of the place. Saw Hale Nui, right as I walked out so figured I'd give it a last shot.Little Chris was cool, he talked to me for a few minutes then said he didn't have time that night but if I wanted to come back the next morning he could hook me up. I arrived at the time we agreed on and he was already there just setting up the shop. Took his time and chatted with me while he worked. Great place to get some last minute 'island' ink done. Would recommend to anyone in Honolulu, looking to get some ink. :)

Kai was great. He wasn’t in it for just the money. He get to know you and does great work. First time to Hawaii and last minute he fit me in to get me what I wanted. Turned out great. When we come back we will visiting Kai for another one. Thank you.

Bluez is definitely a very skilled artist. The quality of this man's work is unbelievable. It was a pleasure and I'm beyond ecstatic to be able to wear a piece of your artwork.

Paid $200 for a tattoo for the wife. They messed it up completely and blamed her for it. The staff is unprofessional and has an attitude. They tried to fix the tattoo and messed it up even more. Do not go to this place.
