Top 10 Hawaii Tattoo Shops

Google Hawaii Tattoo and you might just find a controversy…

Hart & Huntington, who closed the doors to its Waikiki Tattoo Shop awhile ago, is in the Top Ten.  Funny, eh?  Yet there it sits, in the top ten, even though it’s shop became a Chinese restaurant.  Why is that?

Well, Google has a couple things that take into consideration a website and its placement.  It’s rather complicated but there’s ways to optimize your site so that you place higher.  At 434 Tattoo, our Hawaii Tattoo Shop, voted two years running Best Tattoo shop in Honolulu, we specialize in everything from Custom Tattooing to Model Train Restoration and Search Engine Optimization. Shop owner, Tattoo Adam, can also do a number of technical things with computers, web design, and the installation of tech like cameras in your shop.  I guess you could say that we do it all…

The seriousness and kidding aside, we love what we do and we’ll help you out in any way that we can.  Come on down for your free consultations with one of our Honolulu Tattoo Artists.  We’ll be happy to assist!  And since the Waikiki Hart & Huntington is now serving Chinese, you might as well come to our Google Top Ten, World Champion Boxer Tattooing, Hawaiian Tattoo specialists!

Hawaii Tattoo Artist in the Spotlight: Andy Burley

Hawaii Tattoo Artist

In the Spotlight: Andy Burley

By: JMAW

“Can I take a picture of that?” I ask.

“Yeah go for it. That was for my wife, she decided she didn’t want it, she keeps changing her mind.”

434 Tattoo‘s, Andy Burley, holds the prestigious distinction of being the only Tattooist to make it through the gauntlet of an Apprenticeship with Tattoo Adam.  “It’s something I have always wanted to do.” he says while working at his station in the Waikiki Tattoo Shop.

“Ask anyone, if I say I’m going to do something, I do it.” Andy says and laughs, “Maybe I’m just stubborn.”

The newest member of the team, in terms of time spent tattooing at the Hawaii Tattoo Studio, has a growing client list and with designs like this, you can see that his talent is no joke. “Andy’s been trained by me and I have the greatest confidence in his ability.”  Tattoo Adam throws in between a joke or two about Andy.

“I never considered myself creative, but you give me an idea, I’ll run with it.”  Andy once told me when we talked about how he got into it. He might not consider himself creative but he lights up like a Christmas Tree when the Tattoo Machine is in his hand.  It’s a sight to see Andy tattooing, his laid-back vibe goes out the window and he goes into the zone.

Give him an idea and watch the magic that he gives you.

APEC Aftermath: Back to Tattoos in Honolulu

It’s still too early to tell whether or not the presence of APEC in Honolulu was a boon or a bust.  Many local businesses outside of Waikiki did not see much of a difference in their clientele base.  But now that APEC is in the rear view mirror, we can get back to business!!!

At 434 Tattoo,  our Waikiki Tattoo Studio, we specialize in the custom tattoo.  Our tattooists can do just about any tattoo out there (although there are some places an artist won’t go…) from thousands of Tattoo Flash designs to choose along the walls to putting together a custom piece based on an idea, picture or theme you have.

There are alot of Tattoo Parlors in Hawaii so why should you chose 434 Tattoo and not Tattoolicious, 808 Tattoo, or Koi Tattoo?  Shop owner Tattoo Adam is world famous, having been in the industry for two decades and has tattooed people from all walks of life including “Iron” Mike Tyson.  Marko Livingston also has tattooed celebrities including Grammy Award Winner T-Pain and is an accomplished graffiti artist in addition to being a tattooist.  The “youngest” member of our crew, Andy Burley, has earned the prestigious accomplishment of being the only person to ever complete an apprenticeship with Adam, and his book is growing by leaps and bounds.

“I was brought up in the old school way of tattooing.”  ~Tattoo Adam

All that aside, we love tattooing and we strive to share our love for what we do during the entire experience.  Our Waikiki tattoo shop is clean following the Hawaii Department of Health Protocol, we are all licensed by the State of Hawaii to tattoo, and use the most up to date techniques to sterilize our shop and equipment.

Our Honolulu Tattoo parlor is not only award winning but fun!  Come on down for your free consultation, let your Inner Child run around, and get some work with the pros at 434 Tattoo.  If you’re in the military, be sure to take sure of our Military Appreciation Special, going on during the month of November.  Ask our staff for more details.

APEC 2011 Honolulu Traffic Flow

APEC is going down and it’s going down hard on the island of Oahu, home to award winning Waikiki Tattoo Shop, 434 Tattoo.  With the arrival of world leaders from around the globe, traffic is been nothing short of horrendous for many commuters and the local businesses are feeling the effects.

“It’s been a ghost town.”  Tattoo Adam, shop owner.  As roads were subject to spontaneous closures to allow for safe passage for dignitaries and their entourages, drivers were waiting in traffic for many hours.

“I didn’t move for about an hour.”  Vince Mesa, manager of Hank’s Haute Dogs location in Waikiki’s International Marketplace, reported.  “I turned off my car and closed my eyes for a few minutes.”

The tide in Waikiki was strange all day, as this writer was one of the drivers stuck in traffic during the Chinese President‘s arrival and was working until 11p in the Marketplace.  With the arrival of APEC and three shifts, one customer came by with APEC ties. Only time will tell the economic boom that APEC provides.  While it’s still early, we’ve still many blessings to count.

“I’d like all our loyal customers who still braved the roads and stopped by.  And a big thanks to the military men and women who took the time to stop by on the 8th and 9th and for choosing us for their custom tattoo work.”  434 Tattoo specializes in the custom piece but also takes walk-ins interested in Tattoo Flash found on the walls.  Their skills cover the gamut of tattoo work from Asian Tattoo Styles, Hawaiian and Polynesian Themed Tattoos, and just about you name it.

Here’s an exclusive video of one of the dignitaries arriving.  It was shot by one of our contributors in the field around the time of the arrival of the Chinese President Hu Jintao.

We don’t think the media has footage this good!  So if you’re up for a stroll, we’re accessible from every direction, close to the Hale Koa Hotel, Ala Moana Shopping Center, and Waikiki Strip.  Be sure to come in and learn about our different Tattoo Discounts and Deals in Hawaii.

Hawaii Veteran’s Day Celebration 2011

Once again Veteran’s Day is upon us and at our Waikiki Tattoo Shop, 434 Tattoo, and we are offering 25% off a tattoo to all military personnel.  That’s one huge tattoo discount in Hawaii. We have this promotion going all month long in honor of those who protect and service our nation and protect out ohana!

Speaking of crazy promotions, we are also offering 50% off to Federal, foreign, agents and head honchos here on the island for APEC 2011.  We just want to say thanks for choosing our home to help plan the future.  What better way to get the gears turning than coming on out for a custom tattoo?  Come one down Mr. President, maybe we can give you an idea or two for stimulating the economy like opening a tattoo shop.  Manny Pacquiao is doing it and he’s a boxer turned politician.

With APEC going down, Waikiki is kind of on lockdown.  It’s a good thing 434 Tattoo is conveniently located off the strip, accessible from every direction, and can be reached on foot.  We are right down the street from the famous Wailana Coffee Shop and close to the Military Hale Koa Hotel.

So check us out seven days a week, rain or shine (we’d be open if there was snow too).  We’re home to the free consultation and the tattoo train, chugga chugga… Chee huu!  We specialize in custom tattooing and are skilled in a variety of styles including Hawaiian and Polynesian Tattoos, Asian Tattoo Designs, Americana, and more.
