Guest Artist: Tyler Pacheco (AKA T-Pak)

Born and raised in Hilo, Hawai‘i, Tyler “T-Pak” (@tpak_theartist on IG) is a talented tattoo artist with more than a decade of experience tattooing across the Big Island and O‘ahu. He specializes in Polynesian tattooing, bringing his own artistic flair and approach to each piece, while also having a strong passion for black and grey realism.

Known for creating some of the most unique and flowing Polynesian designs, Tyler is especially skilled at freehanding his work and creating tattoos that complement the natural movement of the body. His approach combines his experience, creativity, and deep connection to the art of Polynesian tattooing.

Outside of tattooing, Tyler is a dedicated artist in every sense. He enjoys drawing with graphite and charcoal and is also a prolific musician, constantly finding new ways to express his creativity.

Tyler will be doing a guest spot at Reaper In Paradise Tattoo in Honolulu, Hawai‘i, on September 22nd and 23rd, 2026. This will be a great opportunity to sit down with T-Pak for Polynesian tattooing, black and grey realism, and his own unique approach to custom tattooing.

Tyler will also be available for future guest spots at Reaper In Paradise Tattoo, so keep an eye out for upcoming dates and opportunities to get tattooed by T-Pak in Honolulu. DM him on Instagram to book an appointment.
