   I'm a newbie to the tattoo scene and I have sensitive skin to dyes. The team did an ink test to make sure I wouldn't get a reaction. I'm so glad I didn't. It was such an easy process and I've had lots of comments. One of them being it's got really clean lines and the guy must have a really steady hand. I felt comfortable and love the outcome. This could possibly be the first of many tattoos...... Thanks heaps!! Highly recommend.

   My sister, mum and myself saw Georgia for matching tattoos and we had an a great experience! It was very clean and the staff were super friendly. We walked in that morning and got tattooed later that day. Very very happy :)

   Walked in on a weekend. Artists were super friendly, and managed to fit me in later that day. Huge thank you to Chloe for booking me in. Ash, thank you for your creativity, and sharing your knowledge. I’m incredibly happy with the result, and would recommend you to anybody in Christchurch!

   Went into the shop today for a spontaneous tattoo while I was in town. Staff were awesome, so friendly and easy to talk to. The dude who did my Majin Buu tattoo (sorry didn't catch his name). Was quick and very confident. Amazing straight lines and consistent black shading. Would definitely recommend

   Everyone is welcoming and chilled. Studio nice open flow and clean! The boys have sick pieces and are highly creative in bringing your designs to life. Also shout to Chloe for being a doll in making sure I was well looked after (:

   Great experience here! Chloe helped me get a quote and an appointment scheduled - she was so welcoming! Their apprentice Dan was able to do two small tattoos for me same day and I returned for a larger piece by Jimmy and they all turned out great! 10/10

   Just sat through my first tattoo with Dylan at the shop. It was my first experience working with an artist on creating a tattoo and then getting it put on, and I was anxious and a little intimidated at the thought. But Dylan was down-to-earth and easy to collaborate with, and I genuinely felt like he cared about getting what I envisioned down perfectly. He’s new to the studio, but there was no sign of doubt in how he worked as he was a professional throughout whose confidence never wavered. He was patient when we added and removed the stencil twice to get it right where I was happy with it, and my neediness didn’t wear him down at all. In fact, he helped put me at ease by validating what I was saying or offering advice based on his experience and knowledge. The studio is spacious and very clean, and the chairs make sitting for (potentially) hours at a time fly by with how comfortable they are. It’s located in the middle of a tram station, so if you need something to keep your eyes off of the needle you may love to see the trams come and go, and seeing all the people walk by visiting the restaurants and shops. I sat for 6 hours getting this done, but by the time Dylan finished I was like, “it’s already over?” Highly recommend the shop, but especially make sure you see Dylan for your next (or first) tattoo.

   The team here are awesome, super friendly & welcoming. The studio was super clean & fresh looking, didn’t feel uncomfortable going in there at all. They listened & understood what I wanted from my tattoo & it was perfect. Thank you to Chloe & Tim for helping come up with my design & Jimmy thank you for doing such an amazing job. I absolutely love it & would highly recommend you guys to anyone.
