“Kia ora. I went to Awa Ink through the recommendation of a friend and work colleague. I was born in Melbourne, Australia, and have lived full time in New Zealand since 1997. I have a number of old skool type tattoos which I had done during the late 1980s and early 1990s. The only tattoo that meant anything to me is my daughter's name on a ribbon and love heart type design. I really wanted something new that tells my story and truly means something to me. Tawhiri absolutely exceeded my expectations with a beautiful Tā moko telling my story along with my daughter's name and the name of my mokopuna. I requested the Southern Cross be included as I was born under this constellation and is featured on the Australian flag where I was born and the New Zealand flag where I have lived for close to 30 years. I also have a connection to Samoa through a very close friend which also features the Southern Cross on its flag. My overall experience with Tawhiri at Awa Ink absolutely exceeded my expectations. Thank you Tawhiri. Ngā mihi nui”

Half way through we are still using some of the resources she gave us and enjoying this amazing country. This was the beginning of many stops at I Sites around New Zealand and without exception we have had marvelous service everywhere we stopped just like Rachel at our very first I Site. Much appreciated and thank you New Zealand I Sites.”

Have booked with Jessie to get my eyelashes done in the future and I am super excited!! The salon is beautiful and has a great energy. Always super comfortable being there”

“Thankyou Andrew for great and informative tour and showing us Dunedin. The trike was amazing. Cindy and Mark”

“Super stoked with my purchase from Painted Bird! Steph was awesome — went out of her way to make sure it would fit and went above and beyond to make sure it was delivered to me. You don’t get service like that often these days. The piece I ordered was in perfect condition and exactly what I was after.”

“Everything was spoken through well with me & the result in mind. Thank you Hayden for being so friendly and putting me at ease for my first tattoo, making sure it was accurate. I really appreciate it!”

“Grace helped bring my vision to life every step of the way - the communication whilst designing my chest piece was amazing, she was flexible and catered to everything I wanted it to incorporate. The tattoo process was very comfortable as she catered to my needs as an autistic. I have had many tattoos and never feel as safe and comfortable as I do when getting tattooed by Grace. The space itself is warm, inviting, comfortable, clean and cozy. I always recommend her to others and will continue to get tattooed by her. Everything heals and ages well. She's an amazing artist and has a beautiful and genuine soul that shines through ♡”

“Awesome place for interesting gifts.”

“We are delighted with our new Nordic table from Lounge & Living. Great service and it’s the third piece of furniture bought from them.”

“I did my first tattoo (Kundalini with Ankh) last week with Max. The art that Max put into it exceeded my expected plan. Max also is very friendly, very collaborative and super creative in what he does. I'm super happy with the outcome and looking forward for my next tattoo with him. Thank you Max.”

“Highly recommend. Had a great experience from start to finish. Carpe was absolutely amazing! Very helpful with my custom black fine line tattoo. Gentle handling and good vibes during the tattoo session made the time fly by. Such a talented artist and kind human. Thank you!”
