Gas Monkey Tattoo Parlor

Miranda was amazing! I explained to her what I had in mind and she was able to tattoo it on me free hand even better than I had pictured.

Rich did a wonderful job. He did my fiancés black band on her ankle in less than an hour… And it looks super symmetrical. This is her 4^th tattoo, and while it was the most painful placement, she said she liked this parlor best. No bullshit, clean. What else do you need?

Miranda is so amazing!!! She did such a beautiful job on mine and my sister’s tattoos over the summer. This girl has got so much talent. She had lots of patience with us when we were still deciding on little details and was so chill to hang out with during the whole process. I’m so happy with the way it turned out and they healed so well, line work is some of the best I’ve seen. We both highly recommend her! :)

I had a great experience with Rich at Gas Monkey. I came in a day before my appointment to go over some ideas I had, and the next day he showed me the sketch, went over some things we could change or shift. I was really comfortable with him and he was super efficient.

Miranda was amazing! I had gone in to get my first tattoo and she did a beautiful job. She was quick and made me feel incredibly comfortable. Highly recommend this place.

Hubby and I decided to get tattoos while we were in Maui this last visit… Gas Monkey was close to our condo and recommended by the guy in our local liquor store (what better recommendation can you get). We stopped in at the beginning of our trip and met Miranda. To be honest, my first thought was that she was pretty young — for some reason I felt a tattoo artist needed to be older and more «biker-​ish» — yes, stereo-​typing at it’s worst! Miranda worked with us over the course of our three weeks and designed amazing pieces for us — hubby’s is a Hawaiian scene and she incorporate the word Ohana and our cancer ribbon as well (in honor of family members lost) — mine is a turtle with the ribbon on his shell and a beautiful hibiscus flower! It was almost painless — she worked quickly and let us take breaks if needed. She is truly amazing — I would HIGHLY recommend anyone considering a tattoo during their next visit to stop in and see Miss Miranda — she rocks!

Let me start off by saying WOW! I will only come here from now on when visiting Maui! It was a Sunday and we had a party of 6 wanting tattoos. Normally there would only be one person tattooing on Sunday’s but Rich bent over backwards for us and came in on his day off to help out! He did outstanding work on my mom, dad, brother, and sister. Then there was Miranda! She was amazing!!! She did my wife and my tattoos! Miranda was super nice, and did the best work I’ve had done so far. I have only good things to say about this shop and the staff! A+++++

Came to Maui with the family with the intention of leaving with tattoos. Gas Monkey was the first (and only) shop we checked out. Awesome prices for the work they do! They were able to accommodate 6 tattoos in a short notice. Miranda did 2 of them which turned out absolutely gorgeous. Rich did mine, and 3 others. His work on all of them was incredible with perfect lines and details. I had a specific idea in mind for mine and he was able to draw it out exactly how I wanted. I couldn’t be happier with the results and I would definitely come back for another next time I’m on the Island!

Came and got a wedding tattoo after getting married here on the island. Miranda did an absolutely amazing job! She is super nice, fun, and very precise. Everything you would want in an artist. I plan on getting a tattoo done every year by her! I’m so in love with my work I can hardly stand it! Go to Miranda!:)

MIRANDA IS OOOFFFFFFF THE CHAIN!!!
Pure perfection! She not only did a beautiful job on my sister and I she also made our tattoo come to life it was so unique and she offered such great insight ! I love it so much that I will in fact fly back just so she can do my other tattoos !! Her lines are amazing she is just amazing !!!
Pictures coming soon!!!

Love the tattoo I got from Gas Monkey Tattoo Parlor… reasonably priced and his work is beautiful, I got exactly what I asked for, a really pretty yellow rose in memory of my mom. thx!

I must say that I created a Unilocal account JUST to review this place, because my goodness, I am so infinitely in love with my arm piece done by Rich.
I came in with my own design, a larger arm piece with a wing going out onto my left shoulder blade. I had contacted a bunch of other shops in Kihei, all of which telling me that this piece was going to cost me close to a thousand dollars, and had to be done in two sessions. When I told them that I’d only be on Maui for another two weeks, they all assured me that they were too booked to schedule me.
Thank god I walked into Gas Monkey. This piece means a whole lot to me, and was being paid for by my mother as a Christmas present. If I hadn’t gotten it done while I was on Maui, there was no telling when it would happen.
I walked in and saw Rich getting ready to tattoo someone, and immediately noticed his beard. Rich has a great beard. Not that that matters. Rich is a very easy going guy, and has a relaxing energy about him. I showed him my design, and he immediately showed enthusiasm about doing the piece (which the other artists I had spoken to showed none of). He casually set up an appointment for me and told me to email him the design.
When I came in to get my tattoo, he had my design all prepped and cut out on the transfer by the time I got in. This was my first piece ever, and of course I walked in with the predisposed fear of painful tattoo horror stories in my head. He set me up in the cool tattoo chair and I found that the jitters and nervousness were completely absent. Even when the gun started buzzing. Rich’s professionalism and calming personality had me completely comfortable and relaxed. By the time the gun touched my skin, it hardly hurt.
Rich works quickly and precisely. The design that I was told elsewhere would take six hours was finished here in less than three. He shaded it for me too, which was not part of the original design, but he executed it beautifully.
My mother had come with me to get the tattoo, and unfortunately was being extremely difficult during the entire process. I do hope that my artist reads this because I must apologize immensely for her behavior. My eternal thanks go to Rich for handling her so well and not allowing her to hinder the artwork that is now forever on my skin.
By the end, the cost of the tattoo was less than half of what the other shops were prepared to charge me.
Rich is a saint, and my arm piece is exactly as I wanted it.
5 stars.

Highly recommended! Jason did my husband’s tatt n Rod did mine. Great hospitality as well as great work! Very pleased with our pieces! Would definitely go back!!!

Jason was the best! I got my first tattoo and I love it. He’s super chill with great convo and jokes. Put me at ease all while putting me through the pain of a tattoo lol… I’ll definitely be coming back to Jason in the future!

Jason was great! Made me feel right at home with good conversation and music. Most importantly my family and I love the work he did. Looking forward to getting more work done by Jason on our next trip to the island. Thank you Gas Monkey!!!

On our recent vacation to Maui my partner and I thought it would be a cool idea to leave the island with a couple of Hawaii themed tattoos as souvenirs. Not being from Maui, or ever visited before, we were unsure of where to go so we took to Unilocal to see what was nearby. The idea was to check out a couple of places, see how we felt, and to then make an appointment for the tattoos on the day we flew out. Gas Monkey ended up being our only stop.
Nate Brown was in the shop and by chance ended up being the guy that was working on our departure day. After viewing some of his work in the shop and speaking with him briefly, we felt confident in the decision to book an appointment with him.
We showed up about a half hour early for our appt, and he took us right away with no problem. Nate was a cool guy to chat with, and he put on some good music and got to work. He worked quickly and did an amazing job. We couldn’t be happier with our «souvenirs», and if we make our way back to Maui we’ll be looking him up. Thanks again Nate!

Not gonna lie, I was weirded out by the bad review, but I’m SUPER glad it didn’t deter me. Walked in with no appointment & Nate totally hooked me up! I showed him a picture of the design I wanted & he did it PERFECTLY! Even the shading was accurate! I will forever recommend him & this shop to any & all wanting ink in Kihei. I have zero complaints about anything. Fair prices, neat and organized shop, and no concerns at all about cleanliness or health hazards. No clue why that person gave it one star… if I could, I’d give them a 10!!! :-) Thank you, Nate!!!

Was vacationing in Maui for a wedding, and mentioned to a friend I’ve been wanting to get a tattoo for a long time and he suggested we get one on the island. Just did a simple google search without looking at reviews and ended up at gas monkey tattoo — and it was amazing! Zack did ours and was so kind, gentle, and patient, and had the decency not to laugh at how skittish I was. As soon as the tattoo started, I was calm and comfortable and realized I had nothing to worry about the entire time! In addition, the place was very clean, he made a point to show us how things were sterilized and changed out. And the price was more than fair — I was actually surprised at how good it was. In fact, I think when I’m ready for another tattoo, I’ll use it as an excuse to go to Maui and go back to gas monkey. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

The staff was great, very helpful in answering all our questions. I ended up getting an amazing tattoo from Samantha and my partner got one from Erick. Both of us are VERY happy with their work they have a very clean place and a huge assortment of tattoos to select from. I was quoted a price I thought was fair but upon check out it was actually less. Yay! Anyway if your looking to get a memorable tattoo whilst on Maui, this is your place!

Got my Dharma wheels here. Drawn up and tatooed by James. Came out perfect! Love it. Coming back to him for my next piece as well.
