Illustrative color tattoos. Built on craft, dialed in over years.
Julian — known as xwildxlovex — is one of Hawaii's top illustrative color tattoo artists. Pomona, California (Califas) roots; now putting in the work daily at Ohana Tattoo Company in Waikiki.
Saturated color. Bold illustrative line. Custom compositions that lean into character, contrast, and story — pieces that read across a room and hold their voice over decades. Walk in for flash or text ahead with a custom idea — Julian builds the design fresh, never traced.
Honolulu home base. The craft taken seriously, the work delivered with aloha.
