When is the Best Time to get a tattoo in Hawaii?

As the days grow shorter, November marks the start of tattoo season in Hawaii, a time when healing is easier, appointments are available, and locals start looking for meaningful ways to mark the year that’s passed. It’s also a season for gratitude, reflection, and connection — all values that run deep at Loyalty Tattoo Kailua.

Whether you’re a longtime regular or thinking about your first piece, now’s the perfect time to sit down with one of our artists and create something you’ll be thankful for long after the holidays have passed.

Tattoo Season in Hawaii is Here

The rainy months are ideal for getting new ink. Clients experience faster healing with fewer beach days, your tattoo stays protected from sun, sand, and saltwater — three of the biggest factors in fresh tattoo irritation. November also tends to be a quieter time before the holiday rush, making it easier to book time with your favorite artist. It’s a perfect window to invest in a tattoo that’s personal, meaningful, and ready to show off by the new year.

Tattoos You’ll Be Thankful For

When it comes to choosing your next piece, gratitude makes a great starting point. These designs capture what matters most — connection, growth, and the stories that make you who you are.

At Loyalty Tattoo, our curated flash sheets showcase a range of styles, from classic American traditional to modern minimalism, allowing clients to choose something bold, unique, and instantly achievable. Even if you have no idea what you want, browsing our flash designs can spark creativity and help guide your decision.

1. Family & Ohana-Inspired Tattoos

From Polynesian symbols of protection and lineage to simple scripts like ohana or a loved one’s name, family tattoos are timeless reminders of love and roots.

2. Nature & Island Life Designs

Celebrate Kailua’s natural beauty with designs inspired by waves, plumeria, mountains, or sea life — art that reflects the gratitude you feel for the place you call home.

3. Symbols of Strength & Growth

Arrows, lauhala patterns, or bold traditional motifs can represent endurance and change — perfect for honoring the progress you’ve made this year.

4. Script & Word Tattoos

Short, meaningful words like mahalo, aloha, or still here keep gratitude close and visible every day. Sometimes the simplest tattoos say the most.

5. Connection Tattoos

Shared designs with a partner, sibling, or friend — from tiny waves to shared coordinates — make for tattoos that carry connection and gratitude wherever you go.
