We have several topics in this update, now more than halfway through our sixth year in business, and it is tough to decide what to write about first!
AUGUST 24, 2024
We are extremely happy to announce that the Lilikoi Kitchen has agreed to remain at The Collective for another year!! Not only has the group excelled at providing outstanding food, LK has been a terrific complement to The Collective in terms of quality of service and positive interactions with the public.
If you have found this webpage yet haven't been able to enjoy the delicious offerings from Lilikoi Kitchen, we encourage you to come by or at least refer your friends and family. It is a game-changing menu for the Uluniu Street area, also serving people via delivery systems such as Grub Hub.
Recently expanded hours make it even easier to come enjoy LK. Here is a quick link to their page, which also contains the LK menu. Hope you are hungry!!
We're elated to continue to work together with the Lilikoi Kitchen!
For many of the tattoo artists in the shop, the Pacific Ink and Art Expo on August 2-4 was their first experience at tattooing in a convention setting. We hope you came by our encampment at the Blaisdell Exposition Hall, and saw how great our booth looked. Big MAHALO to Robert @fleshdoctor13 for his ingenious banner structure design, which raised our space to great heights and helped our area truly stand up above the rest! We're proud of our shop's teamwork across the weekend, as well as the dedication every artist showed during many months of preparation.
The Collective's Laser Tattoo Removal business has grown across the year and continues to serve more clients each month. We continue to rely on word-of-mouth from clients, but will soon be part of upcoming Kailua Town Magazine issue, as well as getting boosts from IG influencer clients. Please see our laser page for more information.
2024 has not one but two Friday the 13ths -- the first Friday the 13th Flash event of the year is just three weeks away. We have sold about half of the $100 tattoo spots AND are also welcoming NEW laser clients. This is a ridiculous deal: --> $50 laser session for first time laser clients, up to 8"x10" in size. Basically Free. Get onto our IG's and linktrees and website to carry you to the eventbrite link to book your flash tattoo or laser session!!
We're still taking applications for our 4th Children's Business Fair, slated for Sunday, November 24th, 2024. Partnering with the Lokahi Kailua Market, we're energized about the idea of providing a venue for young business-minded kids to get an opportunity to flex their stuff!
