Koi Tattoo

Ask for Lisa!  Not only did she fix a blotched tattoo I previously had from elsewhere, she's very talented and fast.  Book early because her schedule fills up fast; she's worth the wait and every penny.  Will be coming back for more!

I am so late writing this - but Dodge at Koi tattoo deserves a rave review.

Dodge isn't the type to do touristy tats - so you better be serious and have a thoughtful idea of what you want.  He is a local artist and takes a lot of pride in that.
I was able to chat with him with what I wanted and two days later came back to an awesome sketch. I loved it so much I changed my mind from it going on my back to my bicep.

That area is known for being so painful that macho of men have told me they cried like a baby getting a tat there - but I gotta say - Dodge has such a light hand it wasn't bad at all.  I have five other  tattoos so I know what to expect - and it was not any where near as painful as I expected.

Even before we got started he let me take as long as I needed to make sure I had it in the perfect place on my arm - while giving me his honest feedback.

The whole process was great and Dodge is a fun artist to shoot the shit with while you are trying to ignore the crazy pain. He's fun, nice and chatty.

As someone who was a total tourist - I am so lucky to have gotten work done my Dodge. I am pretty sure while this is not my biggest tattoo - it's my most expensive.  And every time I look at I know it is worth every damn penny.

Dodge and Lisa do great work.  My younger brother went to Dodge and he did superb work.  I had back work done about two years ago with Lisa. She recreated my vision superbly.

Recently I went to Dodge as I could only get tatts on a certain day and Dodge was available. Dodge is very chill and cool. I highly suggest both Lisa and Dodge.

Know that they do not accept credit cards. Cash only. The quality of their work is very high and they listen to you and what you want. They are both easy going and they do not make you feel intimidated. I like that.

I highly suggest both of them. Both of them are masters at what they do. I drive all the way from the East Si' to Kailua just get work done at Koi Tattoo. They are that good. I'm very pleased. I highly suggest!

I will be back again :)
