Pacific Island Ink is a tattoo studio in Hilo, Hawaii, specializing in souvenir tattoos, Polynesian tattoo work, tattoo cover-ups, and fully custom designs built around each client's ideas. The studio sums up its approach simply: "You think it...we ink it." Alongside tattooing, the shop offers professional body piercing services, using F136 titanium grade jewelry, prized for being highly non-allergenic and durable, with custom anodized coloring available for clients who want a personalized look.

The team includes tattoo artists Tristan, Alex, and Kate, along with apprentices developing their craft under the studio's guidance, plus a dedicated piercer for ear, nostril, septum, lip, tongue, torso, and dermal work. Clients can browse a studio gallery covering black and gray work, color pieces, and cover-up transformations, along with a rotating custom tattoo of the month. Consultations and jewelry change-outs with a jewelry purchase are offered free of charge. The studio is open Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, with appointments arranged through consultation, and provides printable consent and aftercare forms for visiting and local clients alike.
