About us

Our Story

A symbol of Lahaina’s resilience, and a place where art and healing come together.

Once known as Blue Hawaii Tattoo, our shop’s story is one of resilience and rebirth. In August 2023, the devastating fires that swept through Lahaina took with them our original home, but not our spirit. The artists here have either owned or worked in a shop in Lahaina that was burned to the ground. We came together and opened this shop under the name Banyan Tree Tattoo, for the beloved banyan tree that was burnt but is growing back stronger than ever.

Our journey is a testament to the strength and unity of Lahaina, a community that stands together in the face of adversity.

Today, Banyan Tree Tattoo is more than just a tattoo shop; it’s a symbol of Lahaina’s resilience, a place where art and healing come together.

As Hawaiʻi’s premier tattoo destination, we invite you to be part of our story of rebirth. Here, every tattoo is a piece of art, every artist is a storyteller, and every client is ʻohana (family).

Keep Going!
