Xisle Custom Tattoo, located in Kapaau, Hawaii, was founded by Roland Pacheco, a sixth-generation Polynesian from Hawi on the Big Island, over 20 years ago. The studio holds the distinction of being North Kohala's first and only custom tattoo shop, a longstanding reputation built on deep Polynesian cultural heritage combined with technical versatility. Roland is a self-taught tattoo artist whose work extends beyond the shop into painting, writing, and community engagement, and he has also competed as an award-winning contestant on a reality tattoo show.
The studio specializes in Polynesian tattooing alongside a wide range of other styles, including realism, Irezumi, Black & Grey, color work, and Trash Polka, along with an openness to tackling any challenging design. This breadth reflects a custom approach built around each client's vision rather than a single signature look. Rooted in the small North Kohala community, the shop draws on generations of island heritage while staying versatile enough to serve a wide variety of tattoo requests, making it a distinctive destination for custom work on Hawaii's Big Island.
