Hula Moon Tattoo Studio

I went and got my industrial piercing redone because another parlor messes it up. Ed was absolutely fantastic. He is super professional and very knowledgable of his craft. I highly recommend him.

I went in for my first piercing on November 20, 2015, and I have to say, I’m very happy with the experience at Hula Moon. Ed made feel at ease as he went through the details and didn’t just throw paperwork at me. He really knows what he’s talking about. Looking forward to my next one now. I really recommend you let the good people at Hula Moon take care of you, especially, if like me, this is your first time.

Heard this was THE place to go and they were right! I made an appointment with Shauncey (yes he makes appointments now). We sat and talked about what I wanted. Shauncey drew it up and went to work. I am very satisfied! Very cool guy, easy to talk to and already thinking of another piece that I want him to do. Thank you Gabe, Hula Moon and especially Shauncey.

I’ve had two piercings done at Hula Moon, and two done at other shops. I have to say, no one compares to Hula Moon, and even though I’ve moved away I would make the drive to the shop for another piercing. My piercer, I believe his name is Ed, was extremely professional. He explained aftercare in detail before we got started with the piercing, including information about the different kinds of piercings (because I’ve had two done, he gave specific advice for each one). He didn’t try to press any aftercare products on me, just gave frank, good advice. He asked twice if I had any more questions, which I did, and answered them knowledgeably. As he was getting equipment ready he made sure to explain everything that he was doing and show everything in its sterilized packages, and he was also funny and a good conversationalist so it didn’t feel awkward or nervous. He explained the method he uses for piercing, a explained that some places do it differently, so I learned something as well. He took time marking the area and measuring it, making sure that I was okay with the placement. The actual piercing was quick and nearly painless. And on top of that, the price was really reasonable! If you live nearby, or even within a couple of hours, definitely choose Hula Moon.

AMAZING. Their artist have such talent, and they always make me feel welcome. A very clean tattoo studio. By far the best in town!!!

I called later afternoon on Valentine’s Day to see if I needed an appointment for a nose piercing. They told me that if I got there very soon I could get it done. 20 mins later I was in the shop getting ready.
The piercer was very knowledgeable and well spoken. He was confident in his advice and guided me through jewelry choices and placement. I’m not a super picky person, but he was very patient when I asked him to draw various dots on my nose. He measured the thickness of my nose and everything to create a custom-​fit piece for my piercing.
So glad I went to a shop this time instead of doing it at home. Also I’m very grateful that he was willing to do it on short notice and as they were closing up shop. I didn’t feel rushed and I love LOVE love my piercing.

Shauncey did a great job fixing my forearm tat; a bit annoying that he doesn’t make appointments if you don’t have the time or patience to wait, but his skill was worth waiting for. Staff was polite. Shauncey gets extra points from me for his good taste in music & love of Mickey. Lost point because I would have preferred to make an appointment, but I understand why he prefers not to.

We cam to hula moon because of their amazing reviews. We were not disappointed. First ill start with the shop. It was clean and welcoming and amazing Gabe sat with us and talked to us about some of his older work and some of the great artist he had up on the walls. I was tattooed The ever so lovely lo who did a Memorial tattoo for my son. I got a quote and his hand prints. She worked with me gave me ideas and was super chill when I walked in the day of my tattoo and changed where and what I wanted. because I lost my son so little his hand prints are no bigger than a nickel and she tattooed them exactly as his hand prints were. she did amazing. I can’t thank her enough and we will definitely be back in two weeks for my husbands tattoo.

I had wanted to get an anchor tattoo for a time and had just not gotten it done for some reason. When I came to Pensacola fresh out of bootcamp I started to look for tattoo shops And was honestly horrified at the stuff I had been seeing online as well as on my fellow shipmates. I basically shut down the idea of getting a tattoo while I was here until I discovered shauncy. He popped my tattoo cherry with the exact anchor I pictured in my head but described terribly. He was quick and very reasonably priced. The only bummer is something I really actually liked about him which was walk ins only. If he took appointments it might have saved me from making a huge mistake and going to all about ink for a different tattoo that ended up terrible. To some it up, if you want a traditional tattoo go see shauncy hands down the best traditional tattooer in the area

Spoke to a worker on the phone about getting an ONI mask tattoo. They told me to come in the next day and bring the tattoo design so we can speak about it. Did just that only to meet up with the rude and disrespectful manager that worked there. I can understand being under staffed but there is no excuse for rude behavior and bad customer service. The manager seemed bothered by me being there. Went to electric graffiti and immediately upon walking through the door I was greeted and welcomed into a better atmosphere. Received a tattoo from a fellow service member and I’m extremely satisfied with my tattoo. On a final note no level of skill is worth a bad tattoo experience. I hope this helps Hula Moon improve their customer service in the future or helps a fellow «canvas» avoid future disappointments. Good Luck !

Our tattoo guy was rude and horrible. (see picture) My friend and I have been planning on getting compass tattoos for 5 years. We finally were together on vacation and went to Hula Moon. I think our mistake was telling the guy that we were from out of town. He just rushed us through and didn’t really care about the finished product. Wll the while making snarky remarks like «you’re so cool and popular and everyone loves you». I’m not sure what that was about but our tattoos were crooked and not even close to what we asked for. We both have to have the redone! horrible!!!

I’ve known Gabe since 2001, when I got tattooed by him at the first Hell City convention. We’ve hung out at conventions ever since, but I just recently went to visit him in P’cola for the first time. I’ve been rocking Hula Moon shirts forever, so it was rad to finally see the shop. Gabe is a badass, there is no doubt about that. I’ve gotten 12 hours worth of work from him under my belt so far. He always has the funniest business cards. Like «In the moooooood for rad tats? Call Gabe» and it has a picture of a cow on it. That’s all the card says, no phone number, address, nothin’. Hilarious.
