Sacred Ties Tattoo

"Must not be actively updating this site. I drove to the address to find an empty shop. No notices posted on their door or window. Cat shop next door said they “disappeared” about a week ago. I called the number and a guy said they were looking for a new shop. Idea: post here that you’re temporarily closed. Three minute effort. Hope you’re up and running next time I’m on Maui."

"Let me tell you something. Reggie and Des are solid when it comes to this shop. Reggie tattooed me a majority of the time and Des popped in here in there to teach and tackle my tattoo. If you want a solid tattoo shop that has some killer tattoo artist and a place to make memories as well as conversation, this is the place to be. Thanks again guys! Definitely coming back!"

"This is by far the ultimate tattoo experience on Maui. There are plenty of shops in the resort areas but they fall short in terms of original designs and work that gets attention from those who know tattoos. Desmond is already a known force in the community and if you’re fortunate enough to have the time you will not be disappointed. This is not an in and out quick experience for intricate, fine line detailed work and you should expect to pay for it. It is worth it. Although the shop sometimes does walk-ins, appointments and deposits are highly recommended. I’ve researched for over 6 months knowing I was coming to Maui and yes, I’m biased now having my work done by Desmond but I couldn’t be happier with my decision. The entire Sacred Ties ‘Ohana is genuine and the entire experience was nothing short of amazing. Thanks Des!"

"Had a great experience here! I normally don't get black and gray tattoos but was super impressed with the way it came out! Don't understand the negative reviews here. First of all, good tattoos aren't cheap and cheap tattoos aren't good. You get what you pay for on price. Second, everyone reacts differently to tattoos and it's also dependent on how you take care of it afterwards. I'll be back in Maui I'm sure, and would love to come back to this shop."

"Sacred Ties treated me incredibly well when I had my sleeve started there a year and a half ago. I am not a local and I am more than happy to pay more for my incredible piece from Desmond. I find the negative reviews about healing or prices so uncalled for, that I wanted to show my support by writing something positive. I could see first hand how well maintained (clean and sanitized) their facilities were. I healed completely fine. This is my 3rd large tattoo piece and it most certainly won’t be my last. Desmond did my piece freehand. It was scary for me at first but I love his work and put trust in him as an artist. To say I was blown away by the work he did on me is an understatement. I cannot wait to add more to my sleeve. The other artists at Sacred Ties are also incredibly talented. I would not hesitate getting a piece from any of them!! We will be booking a flight to Maui as soon as the Covid pandemic is over and I will 100% be going back to Sacred Ties Tatau!"
