Book a Tattoo Appointment in Waikiki

Booking a tattoo appointment at Spade's Waikiki studio is straightforward. Fill out the consultation form at spade.tattoo/booking with:

• —Your concept or design idea (describe it, or attach reference images)
• —The placement you're considering
• —Approximate size (palm-sized? forearm-length? larger?)
• —Your style preference (black and grey, color, specific style)
• —Your timeline — when are you in Hawaii, or when are you available?

Spade reviews inquiries promptly and responds with availability, questions, and preliminary pricing. The booking process is a conversation, not a form-fill transaction.

Book an appointment if: - Your concept requires custom design preparation - Your piece is larger than palm-sized - You want a guaranteed time slot (especially important for visitors with fixed itineraries) - You're planning a multi-session project - Your trip has specific dates and you want to plan around them

Walk in if: - You want flash or a simple custom piece - You're flexible on timing and can come in during open windows - You're in Waikiki and want to see if same-day availability exists - You're local and have an unscheduled afternoon

Both paths lead to the same quality. The appointment just removes uncertainty from the equation.

Sleeves, back pieces, large realism portraits, and multi-session projects get priority handling in the booking process. These are the projects that require the most planning — timeline across multiple sessions, design development across the full canvas, session scheduling that accounts for healing time between visits.

For larger projects, contact Spade as early as possible — especially if you have a specific timeline in mind. Hawaii visitors planning sleeve sessions across a trip need to coordinate quickly; local clients building long-term pieces benefit from early relationship establishment.

After confirming your appointment:

• —Spade will begin or continue design development based on your concept and reference
• —He'll confirm any design questions before your session so you arrive knowing what to expect
• —The day of your appointment: arrive on time, having eaten and hydrated
• —Review the stencil placement and approve the design before the session begins
• —Tattoo, wrap, aftercare instructions

Post-session, Spade is available for aftercare questions and healing check-ins. Send a healed photo when you're through — it closes the loop and helps him assess the work for future reference.

Ready? Book at spade.tattoo/booking or walk in any day 10AM–10PM.
