✨ We are looking for an artist to join our team! ✨ South Seas has room to welcome one full-time tattooer to our well-established shop in Hilo, Hawai’i. Space for guest artists also available!

All styles considered, but a strong portfolio is essential. An all-rounder who is comfortable with walk-ins would be ideal. 2+ years experience preferred, no apprenticeships at this time.

We are a friendly & close-knit team, and are hoping to find someone who fits our drama-free vibe.

If you’d think this could be a right fit for you, please send your bio & portfolio link to our email [email protected] We look forward to hearing from you!

We are sad to announce that will be heading to the mainland in just a few short weeks.😢 Doug has been with the shop for nearly a decade and is a true master of his craft. He has brought a deep dedication to his art & clients, and a wry sense of humor, that we will miss. Find him next in Saginaw, MI and Colorado Springs, CO. He is booked for the rest of his time here, but stop by and say “A hui hou!” before 6/24 ♥️
