Tristan





I am a 25 year old Tattoo Artist whom is born & raised in Hawaii, that works in a sanctuary they call "Native Flesh"

I mainly create Hawaiian, Polynesian and Tribal pieces, but My Sailor Jerry, Old School, and Traditional Japanese work have been getting some good recognition. I am just so stoked to know that my art is walking about on the face of this earth.

I have been tattooing for 3 years professionally, not counting the 2 year apprenticeship I went through.

As a hawaiian I can truly say that I have love for the earth and the elements which embody it. I also believe, as a hawaiian, that I am a trendsetter for the rest of this world, because of the spirit of ~Aloha~ that flows great within me and the rest of my kin. We thrive off of kindness and wellness of others.

I try to project that spirit within each tattoo I do. Using my mana so it may flow from my hands, to the grip and the needle, into the ink, and under the skin of those whom are well deserving and appriciative.

My respect and relationship with the ocean is an everyday thing. If I am not tattooing or doing artwork, best believe, I am out there surfing, fishing, or cleaning some beach...beeotch!

Butler






My name is John Butler and I have been in the art scene for a while. I recently started tattooing and now I can honestly say I'm living my dash. Tattooing has opened my eyes to a whole new world of art. People get tattoos to remember a loved one, mark a new momentum in their lives, or just to get inked. What ever their stories are, I'm just honored to making their tattoos come to life.

Sonny






what's up everyone my names Sonny Ho'okano I'm a tattoo artist/ body piercer I've been into body modifying for the last 31/2 years an tattooing for the last year. I've always been into art an found that changing peoples bodies to what they see is fit for them just makes me feel good about what we do here.

Na'ea





Born and raised in Hilo, graduated from Kamehameha Schools and the newest employee of Native Flesh Tattoo. I started tattooing about 4 months prior to working at the shop, i got my start by hanging around the shop. Besides tattooing I sing in a Island/Reggae band named HO'OKOA. I love to Play music and draw on people for a living :)

Inik





Inik is Kini backwards. I am one of the newest employees @ Native Flesh Tattoo and piercing. I tattoo out of our hilo shop and work every weekday and sometimes on the weekends. I am also Inik of the Big Times Players, the hottest roots rock reggae and r&b band to sweep Hawaii. I decided to pursue tattooing after hanging out and jamming after hours at the shop. Another venue to display my artistic attributes. So far so good.
