❤️‍🔥TATTOO WEDDING EXPERIENCE

In 2018 Kim partnered with Neck Deep Tattoo in Kaneohe to offer intimate Tattoo Wedding and Vow Renewal ceremonies at the tattoo shop which includes tattoo wedding rings or meaningful tattoos on other body parts as part of the ceremony. With the growth in popularity of tattoos some couples are opting for tattoo rings or meaningful tattoos to celebrate their love rather than or in addition to traditional wedding rings. Wedding tattoos are a beautiful permanent daily reminder of the love and commitment of the couple and the vows they make to one another on their wedding day.

A Tattoo Wedding is $450 plus tax including officiant and 2 tattoos. Tattoos can be as a ring or a meaningful tattoo on other body parts and take less than one hour to complete. Add $100 per person for each additional hour of tattoo work for more detailed work such as realism portraits or medium to large pieces. You can see examples of the tattoo artists work at NeckDeepTattoo.com

🧾MARRIAGE LICENSE APPLICATION

A marriage license is required from the State of Hawaii to be legally married. Couples must fill out the marriage license application online and pay the fee. Then the couple must go together to show their photo ids and pick up their marriage license at the Health Department Building, 1250 Punchbowl St. Room 101 (1st floor) (corner of Beretania and Punchbowl Streets), Monday through Friday (excluding holidays), 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Amazing & Talented Wedding Officiant

Kim is amazing. She went above and beyond with her resources, assistance, communication, and, most of all, the custom wedding script.

The script was detailed, honest, and included details we didn't even share! Kim is connected to the islands, the spirit of the land, and beyond amazing in her delivery. She communicated so well, purchased the permit for us, made awesome recommendations for beaches, including videos, and just so much more. I could rave for hours if you want me to continue.

I would / will hire her again for our renewals, and I fully recommend her with all my heart and soul. As an extra bonus, if you want to seal the wedding with a tattoo, ask Kim about a recommendation.

The photographer wouldn't come to the wedding due to changes to the beach laws. Kim went the extra mile by getting the proper permits for the beach wedding. Kim stepped in and took pictures for us. The pictures she took were incredible, and the best picture for our wedding was taken by Kim. The professional photos do not compare to the ones that Kim captured with our cell phone! She even did some poses like through up rose pedals for effect and captured everything so nicely.

She went the extra mile, and we feel confident that no matter what might go wrong, she will step in and take care of the situation without hesitation or even asking. Our wedding wouldn't have been as it was without Kim leading the way and supporting us as if we had been friends for years.

She is gifted, resourceful, kind, showed up on time, ended on time, and even stayed to take photos for us.

Please support her and hire her immediately!
