FAQ 
Little Tsunami Tattoo
I'm visiting the island - what steps should I take if I'd like to make an appointment?
How painful are tattoos, how should I prepare?
Some areas are more painful than others. The intensity of the process of being tattooed varies from person to person. To prepare yourself, shower, be sure to eat, drink plenty of fluids, and get a restful night’s sleep. Especially when getting a larger piece it’s good to be mindful to not overexert that particular part of the body beforehand. For instance, if getting a shoulder tattoo, don’t paddle the river the day of your tattoo, or if getting a calf tattoo, try to do your long hike on a different day other than the morning of your appointment.
What is your shop minimum?
$100 for a seat at the table.
What is your pricing?
I'm coming with family, can they stay while I'm getting tattooed?
We have an intimate shop with a two-chair waiting room, however, there are many points of interest in the surrounding area. The beach and the Kapaa all-purpose path (for biking, walking or running) are both within 100 yards of our front door. Java Kai Coffee and The Local Kauai are downstairs and are recommended for food and drinks, and there are a number of shops and restaurants within walking distance.
Are children allowed in the shop?
Is tipping my artist customary?
