experience
I have been tattooing since the beginning of 2023. I apprenticed under Oxalis at Orchid Studio and am now a full time artist at The Purple Hand in Te Whanganui-a-Tara/Wellington.
flash
All my flash designs are repeatable up to three times each. You can see which designs are available on the flash page of this site or in my Instagram story highlight (red dot means the design is retired/unavailable).
customs
I enjoy custom work but do a limited amount—I only accept custom requests that are within my skillset and general style and I won’t copy another artist’s design. For customs, I will show you the design at the beginning of your tattoo appointment and there will be time to alter the design before we begin tattooing if needed.
deposit
I require a $40 deposit on flash bookings and a $60 deposit on custom bookings. The deposit comes off the final payment on the day and is non-refundable.
pricing
My minimum for flash is $120NZD and pricing varies depending on complexity, sizing, time, etc. When responding to your booking request I will quote a price. Customs cost more to account for research and drawing time.

payment
Deposits are paid via bank transfer, and the remaining payment is made on the day with bank transfer or cash.
18+
I don’t tattoo anyone under the age of 18, no exceptions. Please bring valid photo ID with you on the day.

before your tattoo
- Please don’t drink alcohol for 24 hours before your appointment
- Make sure you have had something to eat and drink
- Bring a drink and a snack with you if you would like
- Wear something comfy that can easily expose the area you want to be tattooed
- You can ask for breaks whenever needed
- Please just bring one person with you if you would like a support person—our studio is small and busy
aftercare
- Leave your tattoo wrapped for about an hour, then gently wash with warm water and unscented soap
- Don’t pick, scratch or scrub your tattoo at all
- Keep your tattoo out of direct sunlight for three weeks
- Don’t go swimming or have a bath/spa for three weeks (showering is fine)
- Apply a very thin layer of unscented, unmedicated lotion twice a day during healing to help with itching and dryness/crusting (which is normal!)
