It has sorta become a family tradition now to go to HTC each time we visit Hawaii since we first found it in 2006. It seems that anytime my husband, my brother and I go to hawaii together we do our family bonding at HTC. and anytime any of my other family is out there they make it a point to drop by and get tatted up as well. I love that I feel like a friend rather then just another customer when we walk in. Sure sometimes it takes a while to recognize a face but give it a few minutes and its like running into old friends from high school. Joe owns the shop and is super chill. He's a great guy and really funny once you get to know him. they're all like a close family in there which make me that much more comfortable. I usually get my work done by Sheri. she does great color work and she's so nice. if you're looking for tribal work though, Mika is the one to look for. I've seen his work and its great! Joe also does a good job with tribal also. He did some pretty sikk work on my brother and husband during our most recent visit about 2 weeks ago. I'm pretty sure anyone you decide to go with will do a great job on your piece. I totally back this place 100%. That's why we keep coming back and keep bringing more people each time we go.
Pros: Very Clean/sanitary, Excellent customer service, the artist you see on tv/in magazines are the same ones you see in the shop
Cons: may be a little hard to find strrt parking but theres a safeway shopping center right down the street with plenty of parking.
