Easy to book our appt and had a great experience. Rockwood hand sketched our tattoos and they were better than we expected! Fast and amazing fine line work.

Thieves! There are plenty of tattoo shops on the island where you can avoid this place.
- I asked for the tattoo artist to avoid certain offensive topics. He included both offensive aspects inside his first draft
- he agreed to finish work at a certain date. I paid a fee to start the work under that assumption. He did not accomplish anything in time and therefore did not meet the end of his deal. He still kept the money under the pretence that he did work. Work that was offensive and done too fast to justify anything more than an hour of work.
I rarely give bad reviews. But stealing is a ground that I deem valuable to provide feedback.

Becky scheduled us and was flexible and kind with changes we made prior to our appointment. Greg, our artist, was fun, interesting, and helped my daughter's first tat experience be a good one. Thank you both, we will be back and if Greg is back in the Northwest for a visit we have more ink requests for him!

Super great experience! Rockwood was awesome and made me feel so comfortable during my tattoo. Would recommend him to anyone looking for a tattoo on Big Island!

Went to this shop last year in the end of march while on vacation. Me and a friend went to get tattoos done while we were out there. The vibes were amazing from the moment we walked in and the prices were awesome as well! I brought a design i liked with a dolphin and manta ray but to make it original, he redid the art with his style and the end product was just what i wanted. I'm going back to kona in may so definitely going to this shop again! Amazing place!

This was a fantastic experience that capped off a wonderful first trip to Hawaii. Rockwood was able to come up with a beautiful design and cover up a tattoo I've regretted for a long time and replaced it with something I want to show off. This is 3 hours after the tattoo. Was definitely recommend for anyone looking for an amazing tattoo and and a fun experience listening to his stories. I'll be back.

Wow! Wow! Great experience this is my third large tattoo and while the other guys did really great work on oahu and Kauai, rockwood truly is one of a kind. I got a beautiful custom cofffee bean plant tattoo in a private studio covered with beautiful art and music memorabilia. His wife/receptionist was so sweet and friendly. He is truly himself and loved hearing his stories. I have a low pain tolerance and started to shake. When i apologized rockwood told me not to because it wasn't something i could control. Very empathetic. I gave him a big hug when i was done and am honored to have his art on me for life. Late post tattoo done may 2021

What a great guy! I was amazed by his artistic skills. Never had an artist doodle out the piece in front of me and ask for my input! Well definitely be back!

Rockwood and Becky are amazing professionals. This was my first tattoo,and they took my vague concept and made it a beautiful reality that has everyone talking about how cool it is! I can't wait to go back for my next one
Rick Price
Rockwood is awesome! He has selections of pre-designsd artwork to do, but give him something custom and he delivers like a champ! He's a character, very funny, very positive, very accepting guy. He'll do whatever art you want (so it seems). Check into his other art works as well. This guy has great talent. If you're considering a tattoo while you're in the Kona area, this is the place.
