Hand-poke, slow, low-stimulation, access focussed tattooing. 10 years experience, work from a private studio in Lower Hutt.

The space that tattooing creates is a space of transition, a space that crosses the boundaries of the skin. Tattoo is art that develops with time, our skin is always changing and growing with us.

Tattooing requires the trust and presence of both the artist and the recipient. I prioritise softness and safety, to express ourselves and stories / moments in time on our skin with special energy. I believe in tattooing as a whole experience, from choosing / creating it together to the healing process and the piece developing for years to come.

The art of tattooing has an ancient history, and I am blessed and grateful to be able to partake in the magic of it in this present. To be able to stand on the shoulders of those before me and lay stones for those who will come after me.
