|  targatop | Mar 4, 10:07am | | I'm planning my trip to Hawaii this summer, and on my list of things to do is to get a tat while I'm there. Any good artists that you would recommend? |

| | | moaya | Mar 4, 11:18am | | this might be an odd way to go... there is a shop in SF, and they have a book of this wonderful traditional artist...she consults and finds the best symbols of traditional ink that would work for you... I used to have her flyer..she comes to SF on a regular basis and I was going to have her do something for me...but the point is... she works in Hawaii and if you contact dahawaiistore.com [dahawaiistore.com] I am sure they can make the hookup for you... |

One in a Maori style the other Polynesian. This site link below keeps pretty good tabs on where the Polynesian artists are as they move around a lot.

The two guys that did mine are in different parts of the world now. The best that I've ran into is a Tahitian guy named P'oino, he did the Rocks' Shoulder and Chest piece. If all else fails just ask around they are pretty friendly on the islands and will tell you who is the best at what. Make sure to get a native to do it. |

Sponsor |  Thlayli | Jul 21, 6:07am | | My wife and I wanted to get tattoos when we were married in Kona, but found that all the local shops gave us the heebie-jeebies. I tend to go with my first instincts, and low-quality flash, customers who look kinda drunk, and dirty shops don't go over well. We decided to skip the tattoo. I would have loved to find someone to do traditional work, but we weren't there long enough to find an artist. |
