HAMAKUA COAST TATTOO COMPANY

This place deserves all of the stars. Absolutely the best tattoo experience I have ever had and I am so grateful to carry around Justin's art for the rest of my life. It's hard to describe the experience I felt but I definitely got emotional when I left. Justin is such a great guy and a phenomenal artist. I hope I am lucky enough to get tattooed by him again. Thank you Justin for sharing your art with me.

Originally went in to do a cover up piece on my right hand that most said they could just black it out but Bradda Justin did such an amazing job that I ended going back and doing a full sleeve. Awesome work with great conversations. Service was nothing less but A1. Definitely be returning soon

I want to see if I could get a tattoo for my 21st birthday the next day and before I could even go into the storesomeone with a tattoo on his face was yelling at me to get out, and their store was open, well wrong place. Wrong time I guess. Definitely won’t be giving these guys business because of their problematic attitude and good luck, finding customers with that kind of attitude looks like I’ll be giving the other side of the street sevice

These guys are G to a Tee! From real conversations to life insight I had a blast spending time on the board and Vibing with Justin and his crew.( sorry I kept laughing for the rib Tats) but this dude is a humble badass so I knew I was in good hands. Every tat I have was from a different country, state & artist but these guys are by far the best experience iv had yet soo I’m sure they’ll be seeing me again real soon with the new works. Much luv n respect man 🤙 Hope to see ya in Co. for July too ma dude!

I got my tattoo on December 10th and it was the best experience I could have had. I absolutely love it and the whole process was quick and I had the best tattoo artist; Justin. The healing process has been swift and easy. I couldn’t be more happy with the way this has turned out. The atmosphere was positive and conversation was easy and light. I recommend this business to anyone looking for a tattoo!

Went into the shop a year and a half ago to cover up my arm, every other tattoo shop I went to said they could only make what I had nicer BUT Justin was the only tattoo artist that said “If you can book and be patient I know I can cover that up for you” so I booked and was patient for my appointment and put all my trust into Justin and he blew it out of the park! Since then I have covered up my chest, and working on my back! Every single session has been nothing but good vibes, and amazing progress! I leave the shop feeling happy and proud of what was done, never once was disappointed. Justin is a great artist and I will keep going back to him for any tattoo work I do.

came in from out of state and justin squeezed me in so i could get a tattoo before i leave. could not be HAPPIER with the tattoo itself and the experience! thank you for adding to my lil collection. i know where to come when i come back to the island!

Great experience. Friendly, knowledgeable, great artwork. Would highly recommend, and will be informing my friends.

I went in for two simple tattoos. From beginning to end Justin made sure I was comfortable and happy with the designs. He has a serious eye for detail and a real passion for his work, which is exactly what you want in a tattoo artist. I enjoyed getting my tattoos done here and will definitely be coming back for more. Good vibes all around! Can't wait to update this review with photos once my tattoos fully heal! Seriously if you're ever in the area and looking for a tattoo Justin is your guy.

Literally best tattoo experience I’ve ever had. Visited the big island on a large girls trip and 4 of us wanted tattoos. We messaged Justin short notice and he got us in 2 days later. We wanted small girly tattoos that all meant something to us and he helped design them with his artistic eye and was a total teddy bear. All four tattoos came out GORGEOUS. His line work is incredible and he truly cares about each tattoo and person he works with. It was such a great finish to our Hawaiian vacation and we are so happy to have met Justin and his wife.

The stars aligned for us to be able to go to Hamakua Coast tattoo while on vacation- Justin and his wife were incredibly kind and squeezed us in on their day off- Justin is PASSIONATE about his work and it showed through from designing to placement of the tattoo. He not only wants you to be happy with the work but he prides himself knowing that his work will be on someone forever and he insists on perfection! We just met these people and they were truly welcoming and felt like old friends -

will definitely be going back! Justin was so amazing! He really makes you feel the most comfortable that you can be while getting a tattoo. He's such an amazing artist and a wonderful human being all around:)

Mahi was awesome ! There on the Big Island for a few weeks and decided on a whim to get a small tattoo !! Mahi was very responsive to messages left! Kind and courteous! Made us feel at ease! Highly recommend!!! A++++

Always a 5 star experience

My daughters and I were visiting from the mainland and on a whim decided to get tattoos. I called and got an appointment the next day with Bronson. Upon meeting him, he put me at ease since it was my first. He did an amazing job on all three of our shark tattoos. If and when I get another one, I will happily make the trip back to Waimea.

Justin hooked it up! 5 hours on the table today, and couldn't be happier! This guy is awesome, down to earth, and an amazing artist. Will definitely be back for more! Mahalo, braddah!

Just got matching tattoos done by Hailey. Such an awesome experience for a first tattoo, great atmosphere in the shop, clean, professional and all around awesome. We’ll be back for more next time we visit!

Justin took me in last minute to get this tattoo, he was super cool and did a great job. Highly recommend.

There is no way I could describe how blessed I am to know Justin! Considering how passionate he is about what he does, he is an excellent artist I recommend to anyone and everyone. It's hard not to be enthused by the vibes, the energy, and the quality he produces. He definitely has a customer and FRIEND for life! You won't find a tattoo experience like this anywhere else, so if he's booked, your wait will definitely be worth it!

We were able to make a last min appointment for my daughter’s 1st tattoo.. we ended up with 2!! Bronson was awesome.. he drew up my daughters vision, left the final decision to her on placement and design. They are all so friendly and very welcoming! May they business be blessed abundantly!
