K Town Tattoo

Not a great experience. Called and emailed for a tattoo and was given the green light. Once we arrived the guy was rude and told us he didn’t have time for us and he was going home soon. Later on texted and said he was free but we took our business elsewhere. Need to have better communication between staff and better customer service.

I lucked out when the tattoo shop that I thought I was looking for turned out to be closed and the ladies at K Town were right there and happy to help. Presley was great - friendly, easy, professional. She gave me a color mock-up of my tattoo ahead of time. She was fast and efficient. The color is so good that my husband didn't even think it was real at first! My little addition to my tattoo collection was the perfect end to a great week in Hawaii. Thank you!!!!

I was visiting the Big Island for the 3rd time with friends, and had decided I wanted a more permanent souvenir from this trip. I knew I wanted to get a tattoo and had received a referral from a local shop employee. I went to K Town to set up an appointment for the end of my trip, and as soon as I walked in the shop, everyone was very helpful and friendly. Sandy listened to what I wanted and told me about the shop, making me feel very comfortable with my decision. This was my first tattoo, and Josh was the artist that took care of me the day I got it. He has a very light touch, and does beautiful work. My tattoo turned better than I had hoped! My experience with K Town was excellent!

Had a great experience at K Town with Josh, excellent artist and did amazing work. Next time I am in Hawaii I will be coming back to the shop for my next piece. It's all about family OHANA

Ryan did a fantastic job on my piece ! He was very nice and professional. I will definitely go back to this shop if I am ever visiting the area again 😊

Fabulous tattoo shop! So impressed with our artist Gus and the owner Erica. My sister and I came in wanting matching tattoos while vacationing for a family reunion . We basically walked in unannounced as we had accidentally made an appointment for a different shop on another island. Even my daughter wanted one , so 3 people last minute ( near closing time)They were like " No problem "! Erica the owner whipped up a design for the idea we had like it was so easy , even better than what we had in mind ! Gus did our tattoos, his line work is Amazing!!! He has an extremely light hand, never hurt once! So impressed with this young man ! He's got a very successful career ahead of him. Erica the owner just hung out and chatted while were there. Even had other family come hang out. Most fun I've ever had getting ink.

I regret this tattoo. Reviews looked great I just walked in and chose off the owner’s wall this turtle. Look at the crooked lines of the legs of the turtle. Not to mention how it’s already fading terrible. Look at it next to tattoos I’ve had for years - this one is only 3 months old and it looks ancient compared to the others. I have to get it covered up. My friend got a manta ray before me and it came out much better. She put all her energy into his I guess. . . Very upset too much money for something on my arm I have to get covered up.

I had an amazing tattoo done today at K Town Tattoo. SEAN was the tattoo artist that helped me. He was very nice and very helpful. I showed him what I wanted and gave him free range on the flowers around the turtle. I was blown away at how absolutely gorgeous it turned out. I highly recommend him and K Town to anyone looking to get work done.

Great tattoo shop. Erika was amazing. Very patient with us and did an amazing job on my wife's tattoo. Gus did mine and also did an amazing job. I was worried cause Gus is new, but his line work......wow. Kid is only 20 and working at this level. Very impressed. When we go back, I will be asking for either Erika or Gus to do my next one.

I walked into K-Town Tattoo in late June looking for an artist who would bring my original tattoo of a sea turtle to life. It took me months to find a shop I felt comfortable enough in to ask about getting my sea turtle redone (my experience in the shop I got my sea turtle done originally at back in California was not the best so I had some anxiety about tattoo shops). I also have a genetic disorder that causes my skin to be more dry than most people's, so I was also nervous about how the tattoo artist would react to that since the original one back home seemed really apprehensive when he first met me which also made me very uncomfortable. My experience at K-Town was completely different than the one I had at the shop back home though. Both the receptionist Sandie and the artist Josh at K-Town were very friendly and made me feel comfortable the instant I met each of them. Sandie quoted me a very fair price for the amount of work Josh did on my sea turtle. He went over the whole tattoo including outlining and shading. When I first walked in, Sandie told me that Josh was very light-handed and that people sometimes fell asleep while he tattooed them (one of my concerns was the pain from the outline since last time I had an outline done it hurt like hell!) which I found out to be true later that week when Josh did my tattoo. He truly is very light-handed and he does what is comfortable for the person getting the tattoo positioning-wise. I had my tattoo on my lower back, but off to the right side so what was comfortable for me was to lie on my stomach. He is very skilled at what he does and if I end up getting another tattoo I would go back to Josh at K-Town in a heartbeat once I'm back in Hawaii. Completely worth the trip! :)
