The Collective * Tattoo * Cafe * Gallery

I followed Josh from 1-Point Tattoo over to The Collective, and I’ll follow him wherever!
What can I say that his artistry and talent do not? I can tell you that Josh is one of the coolest guys you will ever meet, and he makes the entire process comfortable and meaningful. We went to Josh for a consult and quickly realized that there was no one better at the craft and artistry we were looking for; which is precision, attention to detail, and originality. Josh puts all his effort into designing and tattooing the perfect piece for each person. I have never had an artist do more than one tattoo in the 20 years I’ve gotten tattoos, and Josh has now done 3 pieces… he’s the artist you will return to every time. He’s worth the wait.
I can’t speak highly enough about his character, his skills, and his personality. Take him a good “dad joke” for me! 😆
Thank you, Josh for the memories, the entertainment, encouragement, and the amazing artwork I’ll carry forever.

I went to Josh Flinn for a tattoo in memory of my dog. He has a ton of experience with color, banding and pet related tattoos. I had a pretty specific request for my dog's colorful collar to be scaled to fit as a band around my wrist. Josh was patient and worked to get the lines perfect. The colors are amazing. I'm so happy I have something beautiful to remember my sweet dog. I recommend Josh and will go back for the next one.

Great shop with friendly staff and incredible artists! One of the best on the island if I can be so bold! Shop has a great asthetic with an excellent coffee shop/Cafe attached for your longer sessions.

Great shop and great artists. I had a wonderful experience and would definitely go back if I visit the island again. I received a one of a kind tattoo that I'm over the moon happy for! Thank you Jimmy Mack for this amazing piece of art!

I had Josh do a tattoo for me (big Poly-tribal shoulder piece). Came out really awesome! Josh's line and detail work is second-to-none! Sharp points, crisp lines, really amazing work! I liked sitting with him so much I asked him to touch up and older tattoo I had and he really helped me out by making it pop again! Phenomenal artist! Overall great space, clean environment, really nice people in the shop!

I worked with tattoo artist Joshua Flinn. I chose Josh because he does Polynesian tattoos with color and his attention to detail was on point. I love my tattoo and its colors as well as the fine line details!!! I also really liked Josh as a person, he’s got the island vibe and is just a cool person to talk to while you’re getting tattooed. He took his time, did a great job and was reasonably priced. I can’t thank you enough for a great tattoo and all around great experience!!

I have been looking for the right tattoo studio and artist for a while and I finally found it here in Kailua. The collective has a great vibe and the artists seem to truly synergize. I worked with Jen Godfrey. She did an amazing job and took my ideas and created the most perfect embodiment of my desires. She was easy to work with and confident in her art. I am over the moon happy and would recommend this studio and artist for sure!! I am sure many more tattoos will appear on my body from here!

Had a great experience here. Beautiful tattoo and artist. Great vibe. Very relaxed.

Travis of Li'ili'i Donuts makes the tastiest little donuts! We ordered some Christmas ones for our Christmas in July party. They were a success!

Great experience at this place. The doughnuts are delicious, everyone was friendly and inviting. My tattooist Jimmy did an AMAZING job! He has great hands for this ....my mother and i were very comfortable and it was my least painful tatt (collar bone) HIGHLY RECOMMENDED if you're in the area 😊 Aloha 🌺
