History
The owner went through the rigorous process of becoming a true, professional, tattoo artist. At the young age of 19 Tristan Reyes received an apprenticeship by Rockwood at Big Island Tattoo. Working a full-time job and some odd jobs to support his apprenticeship tuition, which was of no small price! After a year and ten months of apprenticing he acquired his tattoo license issued by the Hawaii Department Of Health, it was October 2004. And the true journey of a tattoo artist/professional begins.
