Kailua's artist-first studio where craft and genuine connection take precedence over volume
Fine line, blackwork, large-scale Japanese back pieces, anime, floral, custom. Whatever your vision, we likely have an artist for it.
Founded by husband-and-wife artists Javi and Dani G. Beach Park is a real Kailua business, not a chain, not a tourist trap. Nine-plus years of craft, care, and community on the Windward side.
No appointment? No problem. Walk-ins are welcome at Beach Park Tattoo. Call ahead at (808) 782-3180 to check same-day availability.
We stand behind our work. Free touch-ups with no strict time limit, including for military clients. Your tattoo should look great for life.
Approximately half our clients are military families from MCBH Kaneohe Bay and the greater Oahu area. 10% military discount.
Owned and operated by working artists. Javi and Dani G tattoo daily alongside the team. Every decision is made by people who care about the craft.
Our 7-artist tattoo roster covers the full spectrum. Whatever your vision, we likely have an artist for it.
Delicate, precise, and built to last. Fine line tattoos use ultra-thin needles to create intricate designs with crisp, clean lines. Perfect for botanicals, portraits, and minimalist pieces that carry meaning with quiet elegance.
Depth, drama, and meticulous shading. Black and gray realism tattoos capture portraits, angels, wildlife, and symbolic imagery with smooth gradients and technical mastery. Javi's signature in this genre is among the strongest on the Windward side.
Dani G's specialty: large-scale floral, Japanese-inspired back pieces, and neo-traditional compositions that combine classic imagery with modern technique and expanded color. Multi-session work is her strength.
Geisha, koi, peonies, cranes, and waves. Japanese tattooing is built on balance, symbolism, and masterful composition. Dani G's Japanese back pieces and sleeves are among the studio's most requested work.
Hxllcat's domain. Studio Ghibli characters, Sanrio icons, Dragon Ball Z tributes, and beloved pop culture moments rendered in clean, expressive fine line. If it matters to you, it belongs on your skin.
LayerLayer's quiet precision. Ginkgo leaves, anatomical hearts, continuous-line figures, and flowing botanical sleeves. Work that says everything without saying too much. A strong choice for first tattoos or additions to existing collections.
Bold, graphic, and impossible to ignore. Blackwork tattoos make a statement with solid black ink, high contrast, and striking design. From ornamental patterns to illustrative pieces, this style commands attention.
Old ink, new story. Our artists are experienced at assessing existing tattoos and designing custom cover-ups that completely transform unwanted work. During your consultation, we'll assess what's there and find a creative path forward.
From your first call to tattoo day. Here is how we work at Beach Park Tattoo.
Every great tattoo starts with a real conversation. Call or text (808) 782-3180 to talk through your idea. Bring reference images if you have them. No obligation, no rushing.
Your artist creates a custom design based on your input. Nothing goes on your skin without your approval. We'll walk through the design, make adjustments, and confirm price, session length, and timeline.
You arrive at a clean, welcoming studio with everything prepped. Your artist walks you through every step. The experience is collaborative, never rushed. Leave with permanent artwork made in Hawai'i with Aloha.

"DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS SHOP. I have been seeing Javi since 2019 and his professionalism, cleanliness, and talent speaks for itself. He worked directly with me on the design I wanted for my sleeve. I have people constantly compliment the work I have had done there and I recommend anyone who visits Oahu to get in at this shop."
"Such an amazing shop, the vibe, aesthetic, and energy is always so uplifting, peaceful and happy. Dani nailed my desired design in one sketch up and immediately got to work. She is insanely light handed and gentle. My first session healed in just three days."
"Dani is so down to earth and talented!! Her designs are amazing and her lines are so crisp and clean. She made me feel super comfortable. I highly recommend Beach Park Tattoo, you will not be disappointed."
"Javi is the best! He is so talented and his work always amazes me. I try to fly out to Hawaii once a year just to get tattooed by him. He's done my arm sleeve and we're currently working on my leg sleeve. Highly recommend any of their artists!"
"Called for a walk in and got taken care of by Lily immediately. She is so sweet, clean, and made a design up that was exactly what I wanted. Highly recommend Beach Park Tattoo!"
