K Town Tattoo

Went to the island with my gal, pals, who recommended K town tattoo from a previous trip that she had came on. I went in, and Hanna came up to help me. I told her that I had been swimming with the manta rays, and I wanted to memorialize that and my trip to Hawaii. Talked about the different ones that she had on display for Mantarays. Told her that I wanted something a little abstract with watercolors. Because she had shown me some water colors that she had done and they were gorgeous. So I went back to my hotel, and that evening she told me to look on Pinterest, I sent her ideas that I had from Pinterest probably sent her way too many lol. so when I came in for my appointments the next day she had drawn out a beautiful manta Ray and I said I’d like it to follow my leg down with some sort of sea ocean scene. She put fish and bubbles and kelp finished project is my most favorite of my tattoos and it is beautiful. Her color choices right on her fine line as well as the thicker lines are all straight and perfect.. I pride myself on not being jumpy or moving when getting a tat. She had a gentle hand. It was easy.. I couldn’t be more happy everybody that seen it has fallen in love with It . !!! Going back next year taking my family and hoping Hanna will do all of us a little mama Momento of our trip as a family there. She also does design work, we are in the process of looking for a logo for our company. Going to send her our ideas and I’m sure she’s going to come up with something perfect. So if you don’t know what you want, give your ideas to Hanna at Ktown tattoo and she’ll put it together for you. It will be perfect. 😎😎😎😎❤️❤️

Ryan and Co. at K-Town Tattoo have a clean, quite shop in central Kona. The whole team is kind, and accommodating. Ryan is incredibly talented as an artist and made me feel at home. I can’t recommend K-town tattoo enough!!

Hannah did mine and my husband's tattos! We got pirate ships and they look wonderful! Thank you, Hannah again!!

Wow wow wow. I think I’ve written maybe two or three negative reviews in my life. But man I feel like I need to warn people about this place. From the moment I walked in I felt like my presence was annoying. There was no, hi, hello how are you? What are you looking for or any type of friendliness. I should have read the room and left at that point, but I didn’t. The person who pierced me was very rude throughout the process and when it came time to perform the piercing there was no “one two three pierce.” Or “ take a deep breathe and I’ll pierce on the exhale.” My body wasn’t ready and it felt violating in a way. Like I felt with the bad greeting (lack there of one) I felt like they wanted to hurt me. I cannot recommend this place to anyone and I hope you protect your body and do not come here. At least for a piercing.

Apparently they deleted my review, but never use this place. My wife was nearly in tears on the way home, because her tattoo was so bad. Waited 30+ minutes after our appointment time for Hannah to get done eating her Starbucks sandwich and coffee. On top of that, she completely butchered my wife’s very simple “A.” tattoo and it took her over an hour even though it was very small (about the size of a quarter). Mine turned out decent at best - a simple “S.”. Your institution will be receiving papers regarding the legal action associated with covering the cost of removal of my wife’s tattoo. To add to that, Hannah mentioned during my tattoo (to another artist that was closely inspecting her tattooing me) that during my wife’s tattoo she “got a weird needle and it messed it up”. You can practice on pig skin, not my wife. It’s not even shaded correctly.

Got my first tattoo here with Ryan and he did amazing! Did exactly what I wanted, I would definitely recommend him to anybody wanting an amazing, good quality tattoo!

Ryan knocked my very first tattoo out of the park. He is an amazing artist! I highly recommend his work.

Visited K Town this past Saturday with my wife and best friends before leaving Kona. Absolutely loved the vibe and tattoos we got from Katarina & Ryan. My wife and Katarina basically became best friends and will be cage diving with great whites in no time. 10/10 would recommend!

Ryan was awesome! He did a tattoo for me at the end of my time on the Big Island. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. His work is beautiful and he was very time efficient as well. Can't recommend him and this shop enough - it was a great experience.

Ryan did a great job on me and my wife's tattoos. I will definitely be looking for him on my next trip to the big island! 🤙🏽🤙🏽

Ryan was amazing! He took his time and did amazing work. The colors on this tattoo are stunning! I would recommend Ryan to anyone wanting a quality tattoo!

Ryan was overbooked but still managed to get me and my wife matching tattoos. While juggling with other customers and and helping us figure out what we wanted and doing the work. He did a jam up job! We are very pleased with his work and the time it took for him to do it. Just amazing!

Erica, the owner set up a 4pm appointment for my husband and myself 2 days out. Said Todd for him and she'd do mine. Olde she keeps the phone losted amd can text jer a photo ofy idea. I did but when we showed up, she blew it off with a half laugh and asked me about it. The person she finished up with was a tad nervous. She tolde sje jad to semd her daughter out to get cash, she wasnt accepting her card. News to us. Business posts all cc accepted. We asked amd she saod ya cash. We said but we habe cash for tip but rest wpuld be bank card. We troed 3 ATMS, all out per market happening. Todd said cash always preferred but card is okay. Then sje gets fidgety and bailed on us leaving both of us with Todd which also increased the total tat time. She didn’t say anything to us. Just didn’t deal with us, speaktoy husband and I at all. Oh she was around sporadically, popping in chatting gossip to Todd who remained focussed and professional. He had to stop 3 times on mine to assist and try to reach her to help customers. I'd habe guessed Tood was the owner nased on her behavior. Very unprofessional to do, to us but also to him. It was very anxious-like behavior. Todd was great with back to back tattoo work that we were both happy with. Slight color factor issue on the stamen of my red hibiscus flower but it's still beautifully done.

Great place to get a tattoo. Todd did a great job with the tattoo. I brought in my own drawing and he did a great job transforming it into a tattoo that I'm more than happy with. The shading he did I think is a great addition that I didn't have in the original drawing. He put a lot of effort into making sure he was prepared and that I was happy and comfortable the entire time. I would recommend Todd to anyone who is looking to get a 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 was extremely lucky to get a walk in appointment first of all, and secondly my artist Todd was absolutely amazing, he is extremely talented, creative, and there is passion behind his work and every one of his tattoos. He tailored my tattoo specifically to me, my energy, and my life which makes this a one of a kind. I couldn't have asked for a better artist, and I'm in LOVE with my new addition! Todd Mahalo ❤🤙🌈🙏

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.

My husband and I got tattoos from K-Town while on vacation. Erika, created a fantastic design and was amazing, professional and personable. Ryan did my husband’s traditional sea turtle free hand and it’s perfect! Thank you for this memorable experience.

Ryan is AMAZING! He completely blew this out of the park for me and I can't wait to to go back!

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