Big Island Tattoo & Piercing

"My wife and I were celebrating our 10 year anniversary and wanted to get tattoos as part of our celebration. Greg was amazing to work with and did an excellent job! I would highly recommend him and Big Island Tattoos!"

"Rockwood is an excellent tattoo artist. He is actually an artist in general. He works fast and drew up our idea very quickly. Very personable we will be back!"

"Rockwood is an artisan. I reached out to schedule my first tattoo with this shop due to all the allocates and positive experiences others have had. I was met with a speedy response, crystal clear instructions and outstanding customer service. I wanted the best for my first tattoo experience. Rockwood not only went over the art I proposed but also offered his professional advice on alterations. From start to finish he was professional, personable and honest. This experience couldn’t have gone better. He made a vacation in Hawaii all the more special. I highly advise reaching out and scheduling a session! Below is a picture a few hours after."

"My fiancé and I came here on our trip on New Year’s Eve 2022 We were so excited to get our tattoos here and Rockwood told us basically how famous he was because he had done so many rock singers drum heads and tattoos. I thought I’d hit the jackpot he charged me $500 for a pretty basic tattoo and it took him less than an hour approximately 45 minutes. It’s by far the worst tattoo that I’ve ever had and I am very disappointed! You can see where he was holding the gun at an angle, and some of the lines are bled together . I also broke out in a serious rash, and it took longer to heal than any other tattoo that I have it also just wouldn’t stop bleeding . I am extremely disappointed and definitely would not recommend going there or ever go back again now I have to figure out how I can get part of this at least cover it up , don’t believe the hype of supposedly over 50 years experience tattooing"
