Tattoo studio in New Zealand

“Jacob Cross did our tattoos. Designed and tatted up so fast. The colors pop. His lines and shading are BEAUTIFUL!!! He was awesome from start to finish. Super talented. Awesome atmosphere. Reception was hilarious.”

“Chris is extremely friendly and professional. Very hygienic and thorough with his procedures along with good at making his customers feel comfortable. My friend was treated with the same level of respect and attention that I was, even though she wasn't being pierced. Most of the time he does walk-ins for piercings, but for tattoos he can be fully booked. You also get a free soft drink prior to being pierced which my previous piercer never did. Definitely recommend for piercings!”

“I’ve been a loyal customer at NZ Ink for years, and every tattoo I have has been done by Steve. His skill and attention to detail are unmatched, and I always leave beyond thrilled with the work. Whether it’s something intricate or bold, Steve has an incredible ability to bring ideas to life. The studio itself is clean and welcoming, and I always feel comfortable there. If you're in Rangiora or even further afield, I can't recommend Steve enough—he's truly one of the best in the business”

“10/10 Awesome spot! Best fades in Auckland, recommend Willy as the barber. Booking in advanced is a must, as he is most sort after Barber in Auckland (no B.S) Stan is one of the best Tattoist in New Zealand, and similar to Willy, you have to book in advance to lockdown a spot.”

“I cannot speak more highly of Kakapo Ink. My first time, I actually arrived as they were closing, but one of the artists very kindly offered to do my piece anyway. The staff were lovely, knowledgeable, kind and funny. The artist drew up the piece and did an incredible job! It was quick and the detail was immaculate - I am in love with it! Now, I make a point of saving my tattoos for Kakapo and go every time I visit Wellington! Great value for money too!!”

“Very professional, easy communication, great conversations and amazing tattoo work. Very skilled artist”

“Amazing Artist… keep up your amazing art work…”

“Janelle, you are AWESOME!!! My best friend and I wanted a matching memorial tattoo. Janelle fit us both in on a Sunday afternoon, doing an AMAZING feather tattoo on us. We can not thank you enough for a tattoo that means so much to us and for your hospitality whilst having us in your studio. You made us feel very welcome and such a chill vibe.”

“Very very happy with their service. It was my first tattoo so I was a bit nervous but they made the atmosphere really friendly and not at all intimidating. Thank you so much to Rodrigo! He was really really sweet always checking up on me if i’m ok and to not worry and his care instructions are on point, no jargons used! I really love my tattoo! Kudos! Truly recommend for first time customers! Will definitely get my second one here ☺️”

“I had an incredible experience when getting my tattoo, and I can't recommend them enough! Gabriel (@sumba_man) was the artist who did my tattoo, and his service was nothing short of amazing. From the moment I walked in, he made me feel completely comfortable and took the time to go over the design thoroughly. He offered valuable suggestions from his professional point of view, ensuring the tattoo would look perfect including placement, so I think it’s key to enter with an open mind and ask for an experienced artist’s opinion. Gabriel also followed up with me a week later to check on the healing process, which really shows how much he cares about his work and his clients. If you're looking for a talented, professional, and caring artist, Gabriel is the one to see!”

“Cam was amazing at bringing my first tattoo and I am super happy with his work and will be back. I strongly recommend people visit this place for having tattoo. Cam was very friendly and attention to detail was great. very nice work and great friendly atmosphere.”

“Thanks for the most painless and gentle tattoo I have ever experienced. What a pleasant surprise! You will definitely be our go-to artist from now on. I have been looking at some of your incredibly beautiful and clever work examples and I am choosing my next one from your in-house gallery.”

“Got my first tattoo done by Ace on Saturday. Was pretty nervous, but Ace made me feel completely at ease and guided me through the process, and the whole setup in the Waitakeres is an incredibly relaxing environment. Creating the artwork was a great collaboration and I'm absolutely in love with the final results. Thanks so much Ace and see you again soon!”

“I’ve had the pleasure of getting multiple tattoos done by Ben at Lined Canvas Tattoo Studio, and every experience has been nothing short of exceptional. From the very first session, Ben made me feel comfortable and completely at ease with his calm, professional demeanor and genuine passion for the craft. Each tattoo has been executed with precision and care, and I’ve always appreciated how he takes the time to listen to ideas, offer suggestions, and bring concepts to life in a way that exceeds expectations. His attention to detail, clean line work, and creativity really set him apart. The studio itself is a welcoming, clean, and relaxed space, the kind of environment that makes you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. Whether it’s been a small, meaningful piece or a more complex design, Ben’s consistently delivered top-tier work that I’m proud to wear. If you’re thinking about getting a tattoo, I can’t recommend Ben highly enough. Talented, professional, and just an all-round great vibe — I’ll definitely be back for more.”

“Great clean welcoming environment with some of the most talented artists. Nice people, clean bathroom...sadly not wheelchair accessible, enjoy the stairs getting in and out! Parking is a bit tricky but isn't it always these days? My suggestion is have someone drop you off, then pick you up when done! Totally loved my custom ink, would defs come back here! Totally recommend these guys for getting that art done :)”

“My husband and I were in Hamilton last week. At first, we went to a different tattoo studio and the vibe was wrong for us. We left. I randomly chose this tattoo studio based on reviews. Hunter worked on my husband’’s tattoo. Hunter is a truly gifted and hardworking artist. It was done so beautifully ,with prayer, love, and raw talent that I had to go back for my first tattoo. I just love it so much. Hunter is the embodiment of the spirit of this beautiful land and he shares that through this beautiful work. Thank you.”
