Need a Tattoo Idea? Try going Old Skool!

 

Old Skool Tattoos and Traditional Tattoos refer to the Western version of tattooing: Americana Tattoos.  Tattoo Adam, or Horiyume, a Custom Tattoo Artist based in Hawaii leads the Waikiki Tattoo Shop, 434 Tattoo, a team of professional tattooists who are highly trained in a range of tattoo style.

Old Skool designs first achieved decades ago when famed Tattoo Artist Sailor Jerry was working.  Fun Fact: Sailer Jerry worked in Honolulu a short trip away from our Hawaii Tattoo Studio.  When you walk into a tattoo shop, you will more than likely find frames of tattoo flash showcasing his designs that are almost 100 years old and still popular!

So next time you get the itch, consider collecting an Old Skool tattoo.  Stop by our little slice of heave for a free consultation and we’ll help you make that tattoo dream come true!

We are open 7 days a week, from 10a – 10p, see ya here!

What to expect when getting a tattoo?

There are many reasons people get tattooed.  And everyone, is a first-timer at some point in their tattoo journey.  Whether it’s a one & done experience or tattoo collecting for a lifetime, it is still important to have an idea of what to expect when you are going to get a tattoo.

Here are some general expectations and etiquette that are good for anyone to know!

1.  Have an idea.  Just telling your artist that you want a tattoo is going to get you nowhere.  You absolutely have to have an idea so that the artist can guide you in choosing a style, a template, flash, or in her/his own efforts to create a custom tattoo for you.
2. Have more than an idea?  Bring pictures.  A picture will help further refine the idea that you like.  Telling your artist you want a bird and knowing what type of bird, how it looks, will go a long way in creating a satisfying piece.
3. Make an appointment.  Though walk-ins are always welcome at most shops, if you want to guarantee your space and time, an appointment will go a long way.
4. Listen and be respectful.  Your artist is a skilled professional who has put in years and hours upon hours to be where they are at.  They know more about the art and its placement on the human body than your novice eyes.  If they tell you something about where a piece will look best, they know.
5. Take care of the tattoo.  You spent money, time, and energy in getting a tattoo.  Your artist worked hard.  Listen to what s/he has to say about tattoo after-care and take care of it.  While touch-ups are often free, a properly cared for tattoo will heal great and last.

These are just a handful of general tips to factor in along your tattoo journey.  Now let’s get you inked!  Our Waikiki tattoo studio is open 7 days a week, 10a – 10p.  Walk-ins are welcome, appointments guarantee your space, and we offer free consultations.

Traditional Tebori in our Waikiki Tattoo Shop

Collaboration between Tattoo Adam & Takashi

Guest artist, Tebori tattooist Takashi, has arrived and is getting down to business at our Waikiki tattoo shop 434 Tattoo! Takashi has joined us in the lead-up to the 2015 Pacific Ink & Art Expo, also referred to as the Hawaii Tattoo Convention.

This is a wonderful opportunity to get an authentic Japanese tattoo experience outside of Japan.  In recent years, we have developed a tebori space in our Waikiki Tattoo Parlour. This quiet space will allow you to get the most out of your tebori experience so if you’re remotely curious, come on down and check us out.  We’re open 7 days a week, appointments preferred though walk-ins are always welcome, and we offer free consultations.

Japanese tattooing and Japanese tattoo culture are core to our shop.  Though experienced and talented in all forms of tattooing, we have a particular passion and connection to the vein of the artform that stems from Japan.

Early on in his life, our waikiki tattoo studio owner Tattoo Adam was exposed to tattoos & art.  When he saw the Japanese full-body tattoos, a passion developed.  Adam has since been to Japan countless times, experiencing tebori himself from the master Horiyoshi III.

We are located at 434 Ena Road & open from 10a – 10p.  Call us today to arrange a consultation or appointment.

Aloha!

Hawaii Tattoo Convention – Coming this Summer 2015

The 2015 Hawaii Tattoo Convention is right around the corner!

Tebori tattoo artist Takashi will be going to the Pacific Ink & Art Expo on August 7, 8, & 9, during his time in Hawaii but you can get your work done or started by him from July 30 at our Waikiki tattoo studio!  Check out what his bio for the Expo has to say about his work:

“Although outlines are still done by machine, this method uses a long bamboo stick, called a nomi, with steel needles arranged in rows, singly or stacked and tied at the end. The tip of the nomi is dipped in ink and pressed rapidly into the skin. This creates some of the finest shading and subtle gradations, giving the tattoos a distinct look from typical machine work.”

434 Tattoo will be Takashi’s home in the lead-up to the event and we’re taking appointments for him now!  Contact us today to learn more and to book your slot!
