Flash & first-run designs
Small-batch artwork, painterly ideas, fine details, and clean graphic shapes.
Best for clients who are open to a collaborative session and want a piece connected to the artist's current practice.
Guided tattoo sessions
Original tattoo work from artists still close to the craft.
Accessible custom pieces, flash, and first-run tattoo concepts from a small team building thoughtful skin work with care, supervision, and real artistic range.
What this is
A collaborative tattoo space for people who value the process as much as the piece.
Maui Tattoos is built around emerging tattoo work, cross-disciplinary artists, and clear expectations. Sessions are intentionally priced to be more approachable while artists gain focused experience, document healed work, and keep improving their craft.
Current direction
Artwork that is still alive, exploratory, and personal.
Accessible custom work
Bring a clear idea, a few references, or just a feeling.
We will help shape it into a tattoo that fits the artist's current strengths, your placement, and the time available.
Creative exchange
Clients get more approachable pricing; artists get intentional practice.
That exchange works best with patience, flexibility, and respect for the learning curve behind good tattooing.
Honest scope
Not every idea is a fit for every artist or session.
Large, highly technical, or high-risk placements may be redesigned, simplified, or referred out.
Three artists
Different backgrounds, different instincts, one shared respect for the work.

Process
Simple, transparent booking so everyone knows what they are walking into.
- Inquiry Send your idea, artist preference, placement, approximate size, budget range, availability, and references.
- Artist match We match the idea to the artist whose current focus best fits the concept and level of complexity.
- Scope and rate We confirm size, placement, session length, rate, deposit, and whether the tattoo is flash, custom, or experimental.
- Session & healing You leave with aftercare instructions and the option to send healed photos so the artist can learn from the finished result.
Aftercare
Good healing matters even more when the goal is long-term growth.
Keep it clean
Wash gently with clean hands and fragrance-free soap. Pat dry with a fresh towel.
Let it breathe
Use a light layer of recommended moisturizer. Avoid soaking, swimming, and tight friction.
Protect the finish
Keep healing tattoos out of direct sun. Once healed, sunscreen helps preserve contrast.
Send healed photos
Healed photos help the artist understand line weight, texture, saturation, and what to improve next.
