I got my tattoo in 2019 along with my twin sister. We got in touch with Mana through a guy we met on our journey through New Zealand, who spoke highly of him. Contacting Mana was quick and easy, and we scheduled an appointment. Mana was incredibly friendly, listened to our life stories, and understood what the tattoo meant to us. Based on that, he created the designs. Unfortunately, the ordered tattoo needles didn't arrive on time, so we had to reschedule. Since we had already booked a domestic flight, Mana decided to fly with us and tattoo us there. Even after a few years, the tattoos still looks fantastic, and I wouldn't change a thing! I highly recommend Mana. 5 βοΈ review

3 years ago I had a tattoo done by Mana and the result was amazing, to this day the details still remain! In my opinion, the best Polynesian/Maori tattoo artist in the world. This year I'm going to continue tattooing with him.

I recently had the pleasure of getting a tattoo done by Mana, and I cannot express how thrilled I am with the entire experience. From start to finish, every aspect of my tattoo journey was nothing short of exceptional. I highly recommend his services to anyone seeking a blend of professionalism, artistry, and a genuinely enjoyable tattoo experience.

As a lot of travelers I discovered Mana as a tattoo artist on a travelers group on Facebook when I was in NZ with my girlfriend. And when we ended on his Instagram account, we instantly match with his work and especially the way he tattoo some fine details. As we wanted a souvenir from NZ on our skin, we decided to trust Mana to get both a tattoo (a shoulder for me and one very fine following the spine for my gf). We were not disappointed at all because he really took the time to listen to our story in order to choose the right patterns to tell it on our skin. It was on January 2019 at the end of our NZ trip. Since that time I wanted to extend my tattoo full sleeve. So 4 years later, when I discovered that Mana was back in Germany, it was the perfect opportunity to get it done. Driving the 1200km from home, I knew that I won't regret it. It was great to talk about what happened in my live since that time. And Mana found the way to include in an esthetic way our baby girl that arrived in our life during this period, to the story of my tattoo. I feel really grateful for having the chance to have a masterpiece tattooed on my body and that is meaningful to me in the same time.

Amazing Mana "Energy" unfortunately due to Covid my visit and our meetings was delayed. Im delighted I met Mana and his work is unreal, he meets you understands your story, feels, designs and draws as he goes. True authentic artist who demonstrates the true meaning of the Te Moko

Had a really nice day and experience with Mana and the Voodoo Croo in Erding. Mana tattooed a leg band on my left calf. I'm following him since a long time on Instagram and really liked his style/work. I've been to New Zealand 10 years ago and got in touch with the culture and people. Cause of this i wanted to have an Maori tattoo. Back in New Zealnd i didn't made it to get one. We first got in touch via Email, he replied really fast and i let him know what i wanted to have. Mana told me i should tell him more about me, family and hobbies to guide his work. Then we made an appointment. I thought Mana would be the right artist cause he has the relations to the polynesian and maori culture and he could explain me all the meanings of the signs and patterns. I really wanted to have this relation, it was quite important for me. According to my wishes of the size and some other points Mana drew the draft of the tattoo directly on my calf, then it got tattooed. My tattoo took about 4 / 4,5 hours. Mana worked professional all the time. Eeverything was cleaned up and disinfected. Appreciated to work with you.

Great skills as tattoo artist, however he is NOT professional at all. Has no respect for his clients. Had promised to finish my tattoo in 3 months, asked for full payment in advance and never finished my tattoo. So, after 3 years of waiting I decided to find another tattoo artist (a real professional one). βDISAPPOINTEDβ

!!! DON'T GET A TATTOO FROM HIM!!! They are more other, good and honest artist outside then him. He doesn't stays to his word and plans. He isn't honest. He doesn't finished work. He keeps all money from unfinished work. He doesn't reply. He didn't finished my tattoo and skipped the follow appointment and flew do Europe. Now he is not replay or is so honest that he would give me part of my money back! Actually everyone is excited about getting a tattoo. Not with him. It's just stress on the end and enjoying it is far away!!
