Great Experience Patient Artist Fun Shop

My daughter's 1st tattoo (flowers), and Chris was fantastic about it! He was patient, started her off simply, and checked in with her frequently.

My daughter, sister, and I all got tattoos that day and it was a great experience.

The shop was fun to be around too.

Great Experience Professional Clean Line Work Accommodating

Really great experience getting tattooed on my trip in Hawaii at Ancient Mariner Tattoo. Andrew set up our appointments and was very accommodating with our group, over multiple days and times. A few of us (me and my mom) have a lot of tattoos and some of us had none. He was beyond professional and walked everyone through pre-appointment scheduling, the appointment itself, after appointment chats and after care as if we had never gotten tattoos. I appreciated this. He is a solid tattoo artist that has clientele in the San Francisco area of California and of course Hawaii. Kona is very very lucky to have him. I opted for some smaller pieces and a medium sized moth on my right arm. I will say he is incredibly quick, his line work is steady and clean and not very deep as to not scar (I have darker skin and it's happen before). Overall he was just very pleasant, sarcastic and funny and is capable of a variety of different work and sizes. Check out his @andrewjosephivtattoos and the rest of the shop. Everyone was lovely. We will be back! Thanks again AMT.

Amazing Work Great Experience Talented Artist

I am thrilled to have my first big work done at Ancient Mariner Tattoo. Thank you Chris! I am so happy I let you work your magic. I just gave Chris (26+ years of experience) my ideas and he produced a masterpiece. Thanks for making Kona amazing! I'll be back...

Love this tattoo shop Chris is a great artist. My tattoos typically don't scab up after he is done with them.

Great Experience Talented Artist Compassionate

After getting stood up by a different tattoo shop, I walked in and spoke with Chris the day before we were heading back to the mainland. I had a limited amount of time and he was able to fit me in immediately and came up with a better layout than the other shop. The tattoo I wanted was in remembrance of my mother who recently passed away, so I was a bit nervous to do a walk-in without much preparation. Chris has a calming, confident, yet laid back way about him and put me at ease. He drew up what I wanted and it was perfect! We talked about his old skateboarding days and it was a great experience! I am very pleased with his work! Oh yeah, it was also a coverup of an old bulldog tattoo.

Amazing Artist Beautiful Tattoo Worth the Trip

Joe was amazing and did a beautiful job giving me a tattoo of the Hawaii state flower on my 40th birthday. I am so happy with my new ink and is totally worth the trip!
