The Best Tattoo Artist
in Waikīkī.
Most Waikīkī shops employ artists with 2–5 years of experience. Spade has been tattooing for over two decades — since before most flash-shop artists started.
Every design is built from scratch around your story, your body, your vision. No pre-drawn sheets. No copy-paste designs. No two pieces are ever the same.
One of the highest-rated fine art tattoo artists in Honolulu. Not because of volume — because every client leaves with something they're proud to carry for life.
Easy access for tourists and locals alike. No sketchy side streets. Park at the Hilton, walk in. The only fine art tattoo studio on the Waikīkī beachfront.
