You might check at Hawaiian Force. They are on Kilauea, I think at the cross road that comes up by the Hilo Farmers Market. Nice designs of 'ulu, kalo, etc.
Regarding Humuhumunukunukuapua'a, it might be more esoteric and cool to find an o'opu (fish) design. It's been/being promoted as a replacement for the trigger fish as an Island icon. The trigger fish has an interesting name, but it's claimed by the o'opu promoters that the o'opu has more relevance to Hawaiian culture. The trigger fish is mostly popular from a haole-Hawaiian song, My Little Grass Shack.
