Tiedyehobo
Long ago as a child growing up in southern California, psychedelic was my favorite color. My mom got a tiedye kit when I was about 5. And we dabbled around a bit. But it wasn't until when I was older and when I attended some Grateful Dead concerts I really got interested in the beautiful tiedyes there.

A friend of mine Mike started to dye and showed me some basics. Being a artist, it came naturally. Then I had moved to Texas and started my tiedye journey down there in Corpus Christi. A local beach called J.P.Lubey beach park I started selling nationally and then internationally. Then I sold my shirts on the shores of California, Texas, and Hawaii.

The products are good quality but the owner is a close minded person who condemns anyone who isn’t Christian. It’s a shame. Inclusivity is important.

We walked into this place and hit it off with my guy. He’s an amazing individual, he does great and honest work. Offered us some of best bud I’ve ever had. Walked out of that place higher than I went in. 👌🏾😂 great pricing and service and even better customer service. 5/5 recommend to come hang with the Tiedyehobo.

All things great happen when you travel off the beaten path - and in our case, the Mamalahoa Highway on the Big Island, back in July of 2020 after inter-island travel was lifted, then re-instated as the COVID numbers went back up. Glad I wasn't trapped on the Big Island, but if I had to be trapped, it would be in the shop of the TIEDYEHOBO....or maybe on the grounds of the Sheraton Keauhou Resort and Spa....

The reason we pulled in off the street, unplanned? The name...TIE DYE HOBO. I was laughing all the way into the parking lot, including when the rental car's tires screeched to a

Love this shop - it has so many tie dye items that it's hard to decide which ones to get.
You want to just buy a whole bunch of them to get all the different colors and patterns.

Great tie dye shop! Very good prices. It looks like the owner tie dyed anything he could get his hands on. I bought a beautifully tie dyed sarong which I used the entire trip. If you want tie dye, check this place out.

What an Awesome shop! John is living the Hawaiian Dream! Successful small business owner working in Paradise and offering what others are not, creating what he feels, following his heart. Can’t get better than that! An all around great guy, too! We love his work and I also follow him on YouTube, you should, too!

This is SUCH a cool spot! All the tie dye your heart could possibly desire (tapestries, sweatshirts, headbands, sarongs, pants, dresses, crop tops, stickers, honestly anything you could think of!) and at great prices too. There were designs I’ve never even seen before; truly works of art! The owner is incredibly talented and such a nice guy. Be sure to check out the “trip room” upstairs! We can’t wait to come back on our next trip.

Tie Dye Hobo is a must see stop as you drive south from Kailua-Kona towards Captain Cook. John is a great guy with a wonderful life story. He is very creative and even if you don't think you like tie dye, you will want to wear his clothing! We discovered him two years ago in January of 2017. My wife went back three times, bought about seven dresses and custom ordered four more. We went to his new location again this January 2019 and my wife bought four more dresses and a beautiful T Shirt for me!

Our 2nd visit to tye dye hobo resulted in a pile of really cool clothing items to bring home with us. The hobo is ultra cool and friendly. We love what he is able to do with tye dye and his creativity. Respect what he has done for himself. I wish I had a talent I could move to the islands with and make a living from it. Mahalo Hobo !

I had the pleasure of visiting John's store today 12/29/2018. The store was very tidy and clean. The merchandise was very neatly displayed and fairly priced. The quality of John's work is visible, you can tell he puts his heart and soul into his work. I would definitely go back and recommend his shop to anyone. Thank you for the amazing merchandise and great conversation John! Aloha and Mahalo!

We went here whilst on our latest stay in Kona & bought several pieces. The selection of stuff is mind-boggling & good quality. John is hands-down the best tie dye artist I've ever seen. Super-friendly guy, too. I will be ordering more t-shirts for summer!

Wonderful selection and very reasonable prices! John has presented his work in an appealing arrangement which makes it easy to see everything and find the appropriate sizes. He has a large discount area with many great finds! He has mirrors positioned well to get various reflections for choosing the right look and adequate changing areas.
