Wear Art Inspired by Island Culture

Original apparel designed by Bee Inked Tattoo in Kailua Kona, Hawaii

When you visit Kailua Kona, you encounter art that carries the weight of ocean air, volcanic rock, and stories told through ink. The apparel designed by Bee Inked Tattoo brings that same energy into fabric. Each piece is created in-house by artists who work with skin every day, translating bold lines and island themes into something you can wear long after you leave the studio. You find designs that reflect the tattoo style the shop is known for in Kailua Kona, not generic graphics pulled from a catalog.

The collection includes shirts, hoodies, and accessories that carry the visual language of the studio's tattoo work. These items are not mass-produced. They are designed by the same people who hold tattoo machines, which means the art feels connected to the craft. Loyal clients pick up new pieces when they come in for sessions, and visitors looking for local merch that actually feels local find something that stands apart from the usual souvenir options. Availability varies depending on what the studio has printed and in stock at the time.
