Skin Deep Tattooing-Waikiki Beach

My husband got his tattoo at Skin Deep after reading reviews decided it was the best and had been on the island the longest.
Anna Paige was the tattoo artist and she was totally awesome. Drew went in wanting a "band" on his arm at the bottom of another tattoo he had. Anna said we are all out of "bands" today....in other words that is NOT going to work with what you have.  She said I will draw something on your arm and you can have a think about it.  Anna drew an awesome tattoo which blended the other tattoos together making it look like one.  Drew tried to make a couple of suggestions but got told to "shut the f... up" and was slapped a few times.....deservedly so .... and all in good humour as he had no idea and Anna is the expert!!!!!!  She took photos and said come back tomorrow if you are happy. Drew booked in for the following day.
I went and did a skydive (dumbest thing i have ever done btw) and when I got back went down to see how they were going and she had changed the design again as she had been dreaming about it that night!!! The new design looked totally awesome and we were both so happy with it!!!
Anna thanks so much. Hope you got the pics I emailed of you two!! We will look up your friend in Sydney at Illustrated Man as love your idea of "never again" tattoo with a parachute!!!

DO NOT GO HERE!!!!!!  Scratch shop.  Lazy and unprofessional artists. Go here only if you prefer jail art from the 90s. I  have lots of tattoos and this is the most unclean, poorly run chop-shop that caters to bubblegummers on vacation.  If you DO go here expect to end up on <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2FFailblog.com&s=b07c1feb08c7ed54c9fb9393c96e2a4e5f590e097d8d456c7a046ac66cf72ba0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://Failblog.com</a>-worst tattoos.   Shop located between a Tiffany & Co. and Vietnamese Strip Club!

I am too embarrassed to upload a photo. Looking forward to laser surgery:(

Brian, Thanks for taking me on even though you were at the end of your shift. I appreciate the care, detail, creativity, and professionalism you showed to me. I love my artwork! I'll wear it proudly.

Also, please share my appreciation for Stolfi, Anna, Rachel, and your other colleagues. The positive energy, fun, professionalism, and customer service they have is outstanding and must be acknowledged. The whole experience was great and one I'll always fondly remember.

I checked out a couple other places but none had the customer service and positive atmosphere at Skin Deep. I want to give them 5 stars for the singing and good humor which helped the time go by a bit quicker and the tat hurt a bit less. Don't let that ease with people fool you. They are highly professional-- ID check, forms, upfront pricing, clean, sterile tools and work habits. You should feel great coming here knowing they take this seriously and have their act together.
