K Town Tattoo

I was on vacation and wanted a tattoo to remember my experience visiting Hawaii. I chose a shop that had the best reviews online and it paid off. Everyone there was really nice. Max did a great job with the tattoo. He was able to take an idea I had in my head, and with some visual reference, he was able to draw out exactly what I was envisioning. Highly recommended if you’re in the area.

While on vacation for our 10th anniversary my wife surprised me with getting me the next piece I've been wanting. I searched reviews and decided to give K Town a look. I am glad I did! Not only are they reviewed high but they live up to every great review.

Erica greeted me as soon as I walked in. We discussed what I was thinking of having done and she even made it happen in the budget I was working with.

Steve (from Oregon) was recommended to me due to his work in black and grey. We discussed the idea, looked at a picture and set a time for me to come back in a few hours.

I left to grab some food before my appointment and while eating had some thoughts about modifications to my piece. Much to my surprise, Steve texts me asking about the same modifications! It's as if he was reading my mind.

The new tattoo turned out great! I couldn't be happier. The entire experience was one you rarely get anymore. Impeccable customer service. The entire shop, Erica, Steve, Army Steve, and Josh treated us like life long friends.

If you go anywhere else to get a tattoo, you are a fool.

Loved them! They were super accommodating and had artist come in early for my friend and I to get our tattoo before our flight home. They had a very clean shop and I felt confident in their professionalism and skill as soon as I walked in. Presley did an amazing job on my tattoo even doing the stencil multiple times to get it just right on my back. Her attention to detail was awesome. She should be called "Painless Presley". Love my tatt. #7 tattoo was a perfect souvenir.

I just got my 4th tattoo the other day and wanted to write a review. K Town was awesome. I recently moved to the BI and wanted a tattoo and this place sort of jumped out at me. Presley did my tattoo and she did an amazing job. She's super good at color tattoos and also has a wonderful personality that made me feel comfortable. So I recommend her completely. I also watched my best friend get a tattoo by Todd and WOW... it turned out spectacular. I also met other artists in the shop and they were all so friendly.. including Sandee. I really enjoyed the experience.. I felt really welcomed and the prices weren't bad at all. I'm a broke college student so they really worked with me. The place was super clean and tidy. I would absolutely recommend K Town Tattoos.

You are seriously doing yourself an injustice if you don't ask the artists here to see the flash they've drawn up in their spare time. I saw some of Rebecca's art - an artist who works here- and found an octopus she had sketched was exactly what I wanted. My octopus turned out gorgeous, and Steve-another artist- did my boyfriend's tattoo and that was amazing as well.
If you are looking for a quality tattoo in a clean shop well maintained by professional yet open, and laid back artists, this is where you want to go. They work with you and are incredibly friendly. Shout out to Emily the piercer and apprentice who was incredibly friendly and approachable throughout the whole process. Color or black and grey, I would recommend this shop very highly!

Wonderful staff....great location in old town. Gentle and talented artists.....love my tatt.

Just returned from the big island. Wanted to put in a good word for K Town. I had a great experience getting my first tattoo. I would recommend K Town to anyone wanting a tattoo. I was very pleased with my tattoo. The big thing is K Town is very clean and hygienic. They were very helpful in picking the design since I had only an idea of what I wanted. Now, I have a piece of art on my arm that I can enjoy for the rest of my life. Great Job Ericka.

One of the cleanest shops I’ve ever been in. Staff is friendly and extremely professional. I sat with Josh for a 5-hour thigh piece and have never had a better tattoo experience.
Josh is VERY talented and it’s clear how much he cares about his profession and the pieces he creates. He made sure I was comfortable throughout the process and worked with me to make sure the piece was just what I wanted.
I won’t go anywhere else in Kona for tattoos. If you want someone who knows what they’re doing and cares about their work, go see Josh Customs at K Town.

While on vacation last week, my fiance and her mother and sister all went to get tattoos from K-Town as part of a Mothers Day gift. We asked around Kona and checked out a half dozen tattoo parlors, and from what we saw and heard they were the best in town. We set an appointment for the day before we left so that we could enjoy the sun and ocean as much as possible while we were there.

When our appointment rolled around, they stayed long past close to make sure to get all the work done. Due to an unfortunate series of events, the last tattoo, my fiance's, was in need of some touch-up work. I sent an email that night explaining the situation, and I was contacted by the owner and head artist first thing the next morning (literally dawn) explaining that they guarantee their work and that if we had the time to come in that morning they'd do the touch up. So we met them at 6 a.m. and Erika did a fantastic job touching up and improving my fiance's tattoo.

The staff there was incredibly helpful, and Sophia was an absolute pleasure to talk with. Despite there being some miscommunications, we had an incredibly positive experience and ended up with some very nice tattoos. Erika and Chelsea both have great designs and great work, and Erika in particular was knowledgeable, steady, fast, and had a light touch. They even gave my fiance a free set of gauged plugs to make up for the extra bit of trouble we had to go through, and coffee for all of us when we came in for the touch up.

I would recommend them to anyone who is looking to get some ink done while they are on the big island, you won't find anyone better:)

Great place! Visited on vacation and just got my first tattoo here, Steve was fantastic to work with and made every accommodation to make sure I got my appointment when I needed it. He walked me through the entire process, and showed me how to care for the tattoo after. The tattoo came out amazing and is a fantastic work of art and a memento of my time in Hawaii. Would highly recommend!
