Pacific Soul Tattoo

Pacific Soul Tattoo is where it is at! I was first tattoo'd by Steve 10years ago when my family moved to Oahu. I was referred to him by a local guy whose tattoo I admired from a far. I get so many compliments on that tattoo. When I found out we were moving back to the mainland, I wanted to get another tattoo to remember the time my family spent on Oahu. So, I tracked down Steve, and let him do his thing. If you want an original, one-of-a-kind, Polynesian tattoo, you need to stop into Pacific Soul Tattoo! Love my new shoulder piece which will carry my memories of the islands forever!

Hands Down the BEST tattoo shop I've ever been too... The entire experience was fantastic from start to finish. I don't know how they managed to squeeze me in on such short notice for the piece I wanted (this place came HIGHLY recommended by my buddy who is a regular both in Hawaii as well as during conventions on the mainland) & everything that I've heard about them is 100% true. Everyone was so down to earth, friendly, great music, state of the art gear, etc... I'm looking forward to my next visit (Andy, you are a master at what you do & I am truly honored to have been inked by you). Bryan, thank you so much for the beautiful piece that you crafted on my wife's arm. Steve, looking forward to a one of a kind piece from you next as well & great to have finally met the one and only Suluape Steve that I've heard so much about. True Aloha spirit & the highlight of my visit...

Everyone contemplating where to get your tat, look no further because these guys are the REAL DEAL... If you're on the Island visiting, don't risk getting a tourist tramp stamp that you'll end up regretting forever at some random shop. May as well get a true work of art that will outshine anything you have or set the bar for anything else you may get in the future... 5 Stars is just not enough...

I knew I wanted to get a polynesian tattoo during my trip to Honolulu. I did some yelping and I had two parlors suggested. I looked more into Pacific Soul and decided on this place based on the yelp reviews and portfolios posted on their site. I had an idea of what I wanted, I saw a certain design posted on Tahitian artist, Manu's site and brought that image into Pacific Soul. I was initially looking for Steven to do my piece but he was off and I was directed to Paulo. I showed Paulo the photo of what I wanted, and lo and behold, the photo I had was an actual work he did himself! Doh! Why didn't I read the credit on the photo lol he's associated with Manu! So I got super lucky to have Paulo do my piece!

Paulo is hands down the best tattoo artist I've had the privilege to work on me, I have had 4 other tattoos prior to Paulo. He freehanded my tattoo and it was beyond what I had envisioned. I super duper love the work! His skills are ridiculous! His sketch and technique are both perfect. The shading is AMAZING. Although it hurt like a major b&**^%, I absolutely love the work. Very satisfied!! I would seriously go back and get more work done by him! I'm also surprised by how much I was charged, I really think his tattooing skills should have cost a lot more, but I guess I can't complain lol he's very humble by his works as well.

Everyone who works at this parlor were super chill and cool. Located inside a business plaza on the 2nd floor. Very clean shop. Seems like all the other artist are very good at what they do as well. Def should stop by Pacific Soul if you're in Honolulu and looking to get a tattoo! :)
