This is Chris from Kansas...after stopping at another shop first to look, we ended up at Spikes West Side and knew we found the right shop and the right guy---Jay! Â I have other tats from my local shop...but i am now beyond proud of the artwork that I got in maui. Â Great shop, great guys, great pricing, great job Jay!
Review Source:I got a Polynesian shark tattoo from Jay it was my first tattoo and Jay we really thorough and patient with me. Â He explained what to expect and really made me feel comfortable. Â If you are on Maui and thinking of getting some ink stop by Spikes I would feel comfortable with any of the Artists at this shop. Â Spike is all about the experience and quality and really reasonable on the pocket book. Â Thanks Jay, Spike and everyone else at the shop great experience.
Review Source:We shopped other tattoo shops before coming back here. No other place was as friendly or accommodating as spike's... They are naturals at this, make you feel right at home, walk you through the whole process. This was my 7th tattoo so believe me when as I tell you this is the place you want to get your ink!!!
Review Source:Hello, me my wife and cousin were in your shop on June 5th 2012. We were on vacation from San Diego and my cousin from Minneapolis. Me and my cousin got a tattoo from Murph a hanu turtle about the size of a 50 cent piece, me on the back of my left upper triceps, Matt my cousin on his wrist. A week later our tattoos look like a light Grey outline with no black solid color in it at all it looks ridiculous. Now we have to spend more money at our hometown tattoo shops to correct it which means spending more money to correct a tattoo from Spikes Westside ink which I thought was a professional shop. So we spent 80 each plus we tipped 25 bucks to Murph for a very light Grey outline of a turtle,horrible. I've attached a picture of my tattoo to an email address that's on your website, so you could see what is going on.

Just got home from Maui after getting inked by Sam. He covered up an old (ugly) hibiscus flower with a larger and much more detailed red and magenta hibiscus flower. He did an amazing job and made getting my second tattoo a wonderful experience. He is a very talented artist and is very gentle. Thanks Sam!
Review Source:Love Spikes!!!! Jaxon tatted a beautiful sea turtle on my leg 2yrs ago. Coming to Maui again and headed to spikes to finish the piece. These guys did 3 of my family members and everyone loved their work. Clean, friendly. Jaxon does shading better then anyone iv ever seen. Great place to get your 1st, my husband did.
Review Source:Went to Hawaii for the first time and couldn't resist leaving without getting a tattoo (and my first one at that!).
Nothing beats getting tattooed by the creator of Weenie Babies! (Plus he's also the DJ for the local KROQ radio station)
He's really talented--the tattoo turned out beautiful: two orange/magenta hibiscuses (HI state flower) on the right side torso. It hurt like hell but so worth it. When he said that the flowers would look so real, hummingbirds would fly to it, he wasn't kidding. Ok, I've yet to experience that, but the colors are bright and the shadowing/detail in the artwork is nearly life-like. This is THE place to get inked in Maui.
Best place to get inked on Maui. I got my tattoo covered up by Jaxon. He was ready for me when I got there with a sketch of a seahorse ready to go. I showed up early, but no worries, he took me in right away. A beautiful piece. He worked quickly and was totally professional. He also said he has been tattooing in HI for 15 years which makes them far more reputable than most of the fly-by-night shops and affordable pricing as well.
I am so happy with my new ink, it might just be my new favorite. I plan to go back and have Jaxon add to it. Wonderfully talented and creative.
Highly recommended!

i'm glad i chose spike's to get my first tattoo... the place is very clean and relaxed, and the employees are pretty cool as well... sam did my tattoo, he is a great artist, pretty stubborn when he wants to do something his way, but pretty dang good at what he does, i'd go back for another one...
