I called in the morning time to see if I could walk in & get my tongue pierced they were so awesome about it. They told me "yeah just come on by before we close, our piercer is in today" so I came in around 3PM and once I walked in I was helped and filled out the from & before I knew it, he was ready & it was go time. The whole process took way less than 30 minutes which was great!!! The piercer had an observer on the side & she was so sweet & helped me to be comfortable & even asked if I was okay with her being there (so professional I love it). The piercer had such great communication with me so I knew what was going on, felt comfortable, & know how to properly handle/care for my new piercing & he was also such an amazing teacher to his observer as well to make sure she fully understands the piercing process also. The price was great, the tattooers/piercers were really nice, the studio location and cleanliness is prime, & I was in and out in basically a flash. Thank you so much again you guys! i'll be back for more REAL soon!!! (:

Great spot! We walked right in with an idea we have had for years. Simple and small but slightly detailed. Josh was patient with us and we are very happy with our tattoos

Josh did a great job on my first tattoo. I reviewed several local tattoo parlors and chose the right one. If you want a lasting memory check them out.

Robert did an amazing job on my tattoo! I had even requested a design change one day before my appointment and he absolutely delivered. This was such a great experience and I plan to go back for another the next time I vacation in Hawai’i.

Josh was AMAZING! My friends and I wanted spontaneous tattoos (after having our tattoo appointment cancelled at another location) and we walked into the shop and Josh was super friendly and very accommodating. Made our experience very memorable and love our tattoos! Highly recommend!

Robert was very nice and inviting, me and my wife are visiting and wanted to get a tattoo. He sketched it up right when we got there and did an amazing job. He had a very steady hand and set us up with an alcohol wipe and a waterproofing cover since we could wait around for my wife’s tattoo to be ready for the covering. Highly recommend!

My boyfriend and I stopped in on vacation hoping to get small tattoos to remember our trip. When I walked in, I was excited to see artwork that was in the style I wanted and we decided to look through the flash options. The guy working the shop that day did not seem at least a little bit interested that we were even standing there, wearing headphones and scrolling his phone. He would barely look up at me when answering any of my questions. He left a very bad impression. I felt as if I got a tattoo here it would be done with minimal care because they wouldn’t have to worry about me coming back. We did not return. Their flash drawings and wall art were really cool and they had a lot to choose from but they did not have a welcoming environment.

A friend of mine was visiting and wanted a lei tattoo in black with purple plumeria flowers connected with a black shaka. I recommended Lost Coast because Rob did a couple of tattoo’s for me, and he did a good job and a reasonable price, together they took about 45 minutes and he charged me $180. We got to the parlor as lunch was being serviced, so after brief conversation, Josh took a $50.00 deposit and set a date (10/5), and gave my friend his card with the date and deposit amount written down. Tattoo day, Josh does not understand what she wants, but Rob does, so he explains it, and I left and told her to meet me at the restaurant down the street when she is done. She shows up a hour later, bleeding with paper towels covering the tattoo, no care instructions and ink on her foot. She tells me that Josh charged her $340, I asked if he deducted the $50 deposit and she said no, so $390! I was shocked, even the most experienced tattoo artists charged between $200 and $300 per hour, only the very popular artists to the “Stars” charge $400 or more per hour and Josh most defiantly is not that, please google it. I called him and raised my concerns and he ask me what I thought it was worth, so I told him, $200, he said come back and I’ll refund some of your money. When we got back there was a black couple talking with him, so we just waited patiently, but Josh immediately turns his attention us and asks “why should I give you any money back?”. My reaction was, first you told us you would, second did you deduct the deposit? He said “Oh I forgot and did not write it down”, uh, Josh, yes you did, on your card. I’m local, I showed him the tattoos that Rob did and told him what he charged, I showed him a tattoo that Voodoo did and what they charged, and told him he was ripping off my friend because she was a “tourist” and I would spread the word to everyone I know in town and through social media reviews. He then throws $100 at my friend and told us with lots of expl

I got my very first tattoo here and Robert worked with me to create exactly what I wanted and responded to my messages very quickly! Josh did an amazing job and was very personable! I would rate the pain a 1 out of 10. I would definitely recommend them! I am absolutely in love with my tattoo and will cherish it forever!💙🌺🌸

I had a septum piercing done here yesterday and the whole experience was juuust awful. The piercer was very rushed, he didn’t take his time to make sure the piercing was in the right spot, and was fairly rude the whole time towards me. My piercing came out crooked and in the wrong spot. I went and got it removed later that day at a different studio because I just couldn’t go back in there! Bad vibes, unprofessional, and generally not a good time. I wouldn’t recommend this shop for piercings at all. They did have cute dogs in the studio though which was the only good thing !!

So I really wanted a tattoo that reminds me the great time that I had in Hawaii, so I decided to do the hibiscus flower and I gave them a picture and the work that they did was a little similar but much low quality unfortunately... and the price for the tattoo that they made for me was too high specially that the work took only less than 30 minutes

Small little shop but they took me when I walked in. I got an amazing tattoo from here and it wasn't over priced. If anyone asks I highly recommend this place. If I do come back to the island I will definitely be stopping by.
