808 Tattoo

As a first timer, I was a little nervous about the process of getting a tattoo.  After asking around, the clear choice was Jennifer Harden from 808 Tattoo.  I showed up on a Saturday hoping to get a walk-in appointment.  Jennifer was not only super friendly, but gave me some good advice as to the size of the tattoo I wanted and its placement.  She patiently answered all my questions, then took me in for an appointment right away.

The process took about an hour to tattoo a Sanskrit prayer on my left side.  The area over my ribs was the worst, but Jennifer was as gentle and meticulous as possible.  It's been two weeks now, and the tattoo is healing very nicely, especially given her detailed after-care instructions.  

I probably won't be getting another tattoo myself, but I would highly recommend her and 808 Tattoo to anyone!  Thank you!

Updates- Added on to my Pueo tattoo  (2 1/2 hours) and got 2nd one on
left arm- Mano (hammerhead) about 3 plus hours, not including drawing.
Megan Jones rocks and is an amazing artist!!!  This tattoo shop is great as

I came here about 2 and half weeks ago while visiting Honolulu. I wanted to get tatted in Hawaii and I had a tattoo I wanted done special for the occasion. I walked in to make an appointment for the last day I was going to be there because I wanted to do all my Hawaii activities first before I got tatted. The first thing I noticed was that the shop was very clean, and that's a must when getting a tattoo. The girl at the front desk was very friendly and helpful, although I don't remember her name. I didn't have a specific artist in mind, so she paired me up with Jennifer. Jennifer is very warm, friendly and is very talented. My tattoo came out great, and I couldn't be happier! If I ever have the desire to get tattooed in Oahu again, I will be more than happy to return to here.
