Bad experience! Super rude tattoo artist! After reading good reviews and that walk-in's were welcome we headed in to Paia tattoo parlor on our anniversary to get ring tattoos. The guy working at the desk was cool and quite helpful but the only artist working that afternoon was an older red headed woman who not only refused to look our way even though we were mere feet from her, but very curtly informed the guy working the desk that she didn't do ring tattoo's and certainly "not on people who don't even live on island." Not that it should matter but we've been living just down the street from the shop for a few years now lol. While I respect an artists right to decline a job she isn't interested in it would have been nice if she had just been, well, nice! That being said I'm sure we would have had a better experience with a different artist on a different day. We were definitely bummed to be treated so rudely. I work in sales and cannot imagine being so unpleasant to a visitor or a local. Â Disappointing to say the least. I come from a family of small business owners and cannot fathom why she would feel that it was appropriate to be that unpleasant to people who had just walked in with money in hand. Talk about discriminatory and lack of aloha. Skip this one folks. From now on we will drive clear across the island for our tats, customer service has to count for something!
Review Source:While in Maui was looking for a good tattoo artist/parlor as the one I had visited in prior years was gone. While in Paia for lunch, asked around and was told that this place was the best. Â My friend and I went in, and immediately felt a good vibe. Â The place was clean and had a great atmosphere! The guy that greeted us was cool, asked us what we were looking for and suggested Sadie. Â She was great! Â I had a small tattoo on my ankle. Â I wanted to add one to my foot and connect them. Â She is an awesome artist! Â I was nervous since it was my foot and I heard how painful it was. Â But, it wasn't that bad at all! Â She also did a beautiful job on my friends foot as well! Â I would recommend her to anyone and on my next trip will be back to have more work done on my back! Â Mahalo!
Review Source:I recently (3 years ago) got a tattoo at Habitat Tattoo in Hilo, loved Maui and wanted something special from my trip to Hawaii. Something permanent! Billy did a great job on my turtle and Hawaiian islands and was very nice even through my yammering away on how great the place was. We will be back for more ink!
Review Source:This place was amazing!! Â Its nickname should be "the friendliest tattoo parlor." Â They were so sweet to fit myself and my friends in for walk in tattoos and they were such a pleasure to deal with. Â Billy was my tattoo artist and I couldn't be happier! Â The result was just what I wanted, his traditional style was perfect. Â It was so reasonably priced especially for such an amazing tattoo. Â The lady at the front desk was also exceptionally sweet. Â We love Paia Tattoo Parlor and will go back for more next time we are in Maui!!
Review Source:Yesterday I went down and got my 5th tattoo. Every time I visit the Island of maui I always seem to leave with new inc. I found this shop because the guy who normally does my work is tattooing there now. Unfortunatly he was booked out which worked good for me because I got to have some work done by justin the owner. He is a toatolly rad dude who does solid work for a good rate. I went in with a vauge idea of what I wanted on my arm but it turned into a whole leg piece now. I will be going back in nov 2011 to finish up. If you are on the island of maui I highly recomend this shop you can't go wrong with any of the artist!!
