Visual Intelligence Tattoo & Art Studio

Fantastic experience: What an amazing experience from my first walking in until a few days later leaving with my new tattoo. All the staff are super friendly and Emily the tattooist who did mine is outstanding. I can't wait to get back to NZ and get another one.

Fantastic experience: The team at Visual Intelligence were amazing. I got my tattoo done by Emily and she was fantastic throughout the process; making me feel comfortable straight away with her friendliness and professionalism. She was very patient as we worked together on making the design exactly how I envisioned. I absolutely love my tattoo and I would highly recommend the Visual Intelligence Studio to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Kyah carved my guitar front and back and did an amazing job. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: I visited Visual Intelligence to discus having a tattoo done. Macaela could not have been more helpful. A design was submitted and an appointment made - for 4 of us. The entire experience exceeded expectations. Kyah’s art work was brilliant and he was very patient in his dealings with us. Four very happy customers and we could not have asked for better results.

Fantastic experience: They treat their clients with dignity and respect

Fantastic experience: Emily just nailed it. Empathetic listener for a first tattoo. Captured the vision beautifully and delicately. Totally recommend.thank you.

Fantastic experience: Amazing, Kyah done my tattoo and I would highly recommend him, made me feel at ease and I definately needed it as I was nervous as shit, felt welcome as soon as I got there. Stoked with my tattoo thank you - Visual Intelligence couldn’t recommend you highly enough

Fantastic experience: I was feeling quite nervous to get my first tattoo but Emily at VI was amazing. She is such a fun and gifted artist that I quickly relaxed. The whole experience was great. The place has a very welcoming and professional vibe. Highly recommended. I will definitely refer others here

Fantastic experience: The team at Visual Intelligence are absolutely amazing! Emily has done all of my tattoos and each one is absolutely incredible with detail and immaculate precision. I met with her to discuss my ideas and each time was blown away with the end result, she took my ideas and came up with something that totally blew my mind! I am so proud of all of my tattoos and have had so many people compliment them when I'm out and about. The time has flown by every session, Emily is very relatable and easy to talk to! And each of the VI team stopped by to say hi during each session. I highly recommend Visual Intelligence, and specifically Emily, when you're looking for your tattoo family, you won't be disappointed!!

Fantastic experience: Helped me out when I needed ink caps! Absolute life savers. Appreciate it heaps

Fantastic experience: This was my first time getting a tattoo at VI, I had heard great things about them but never made a booking. Wow. I am so impressed. Emily was patient and artistic and worked with me on my design ideas. Communication was great. When I was getting my tattoo, the other staff members were lovely and I felt really welcome. I am so, so happy with my tattoos and the experience from booking, planning to the day of was seamless and stress free. Thank you so much, this is my new go to tattoo location. Ngā mihi team!

Fantastic experience: I had my first tattoo done at visual intelligence and they quickly became the only place that I would go as the work was so clean and detailed. I now have a few tattoos and I’ve enjoyed my experience every time especially my most recent appointment with Emily, she’s very talented, easy going and made the experience very welcoming. Overall, they are all talented artists and the environment feels very much like home - Macaela does a great job looking after her colleagues and the clients.

Fantastic experience: Awesome place and Awesome people with great service and amazing work standards . Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Amazing parlor, nice private rooms, great artists and amazing customer service.

Fantastic experience: A TATTOOED ANNIVERSARY SURPRISE Soooo on the 20th of September Viv will celebrate the 70th anniversary of her birth, and on the same day we will celebrate our 40th Wedding Anniversary. It is no coincidence both anniversaries are on the same day - There was a good chance I would not forget the date with two anniversaries involved. This year we have tried something different - we have had a ring finger tattoo on each of our ring fingers. Vivs tattoo is smaller, softer and more delicate. Mine larger and bolder, but both have the meanings of love and eternity imbedded in the Tattoos. We went to Visual Intelligence on Parton Road and discussed the idea with Kyah . He was outstanding and made suggestions and gave us advice, but let us make our decisions. By an eerie coincidence it his birthday on the 20th of September too. The tattoo process itself was not painful and I didnt cry!!! So if you want to think outside the square and have something unique then consider a Tattoo instead of a traditional ring on your ring finger. Go and talk to Kyah he is a good young bugger. Nga Mihi Ano Marty and Viv

Fantastic experience: Aaron is Exceptional!

Fantastic experience: Highly highly recommend! Kyah did my tattoo, he’s amazing at listening and gave me exactly what I wanted despite the fact I didn’t explain it very well. Just overall a really good artist and from what I’ve seen so are the other tattoo artists here too. I’m beyond grateful for the piece he designed for me Macaela’s also really kind and lovely to deal with when booking, she’s super welcoming in the studio as well. Plus really good pricing!

Fantastic experience: Luv my new tattoo. Thxs guys.

Fantastic experience: Came in to complete my sleeve from previous tattooist by Emily. Every member of the team was friendly with a warm inviting atmosphere. I'm a big believer on feeling so comfortable when you're spending the day with people you hardly know that it's like going to your aunties house for Sunday dinner . 20/10 would recommend if your looking for a professional but collectively comfortable studio. Also goes without saying the team have some mad tattoo skills, they listen and deliver . If you haven't been already your missing out for sure

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough good things about Aaron and his family! From the very first time I walked into the studio, I was welcomed with open arms. Not only is his talent unmatched, but the way he makes you feel like part of their family is something truly special. Every session has felt like more than just getting inked—it’s been an experience filled with warmth, great conversation, and genuine care. So if you’re looking for an artist who’s incredibly talented and also creates a welcoming, family-like environment, this is the place. I’m so grateful to have found Aaron and Macaela and I always recommend them to friends and family!

Fantastic experience: Went and got a piece done by Kyah and absolutely love it. Happy to head back again to get another piece

Fantastic experience: My experience at Visual Intelligence was absolutely amazing. The initial inquiry, the consultation and booking, the design process and the actual work was impeccable. The staff were friendly and so helpful and accomodating. I felt so comfortable. The studio was immaculate and well presented. Overall, just wonderful. I highly recommend and will definitely return for further work. Thanks Visual Intelligence

Fantastic experience: Got a little tattoo here a couple years back. Staff are great and was affordable price. Cheers!

Fantastic experience: Amazing! My first tattoo at 60! Thanks Kyah, I love it

Fantastic experience: Kyah was amazing. My first tattoo at 60! The whole experience was great. Thank you

Fantastic experience: Recently had a tattoo done and couldn’t be happier with the results. Kyah spent time with me to design what I had in mind and went above and beyond. Kyah, Macaela and the team were incredibly accommodating and took pride in the work they did. Thank you!!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing atmosphere here at visual intelligence - great environment & impeccable tattooists. Thankyou Ian for doing my tattoo in memory of my dad I will be forever grateful to you and your crew.

Fantastic experience: I popped in and spoke to Kyah, having never spoken to him before, about a tattoo stencil I was having some issues with, he took the time to help me, explain some things I may have been doing wrong and gave me a few tips. Absolutely stellar guy. Also the studio looks amazing and the other staff were lovely as well.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful studio, clean, sterile and the staff are just the absolute best! I got a free flash from their new artist and he was so kind and gentle. Had a few great laughs during the process too! Will be back for colour and more detail soon! Highly recommend A+++

Fantastic experience: It is an amazing team at Visual Intelligence. The gorgeous Studio Manager Macaela runs a very organised and hygenic studio and is really understanding and accommodating... and makes beautiful candles!! I went in to get one tattoo with Emily and was so blown away by her artistic talent, and her as such a kind and beautiful person, that one tattoo has now become part of a full sleeve. I can't recommend Emily highly enough. Nothing is too much and every session an absolute pleasure. So happy I found them!

Fantastic experience: I’d put 100 starts if I had the option. I highly recommend it. I got my tattoo done with Emily who’s so professional. She gave me many options before she even started tattooing. I’ll definitely be there more than once.

Fantastic experience: First tattoo. Whole experience was first class. Emily is amazing. Absolutely loved her design. It's fabulous. Very happy. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I am beyond happy with my Tattoo. I originally tried to book with Aaron who was all booked, Kyah had an open slot and fit me in. I designed my own tattoo and he brought me options and did extra work to make sure the tattoo was even better than what I brought to him. The process was easy and fast and this was my first tattoo and I felt totally relaxed. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS STUDIO. AND ALL ARTIST ARE AMAZING.

Fantastic experience: Solid 10/10 experience from top to bottom! Studio manager, Macaela and the shop itself were both extremely warm and welcoming. My artist, Kyah was very patient and accommodating discussing my new design and the work-over of an existing piece. I couldn't be happier with the outcome of both. Already can't wait for next time! Thank you!!

Fantastic experience: Thanks so much to Aaron and Macaela and the team at visual intelligence for your professionalism and expertise. I have been coming to the studio for a long time and I have never been disappointed.

Fantastic experience: Just the best place to get a tattoo. The studio has a great feel and all who are there are welcoming, passionate about their art and collaborate. This time around I was getting a black and grey portrait and it is perfect. I have been getting ink from Aaron for around 15 years and he is amazing. He can do anything you ask - for me this has been portraits, black and grey work, transport, nature and a poster I liked. I have the best conversations when getting tattooed but if you want to watch films or listen to music or anything this place has it. Cannot rate highly enough and would not go anywhere else

Fantastic experience: The team at visual intelligence are so accommodating and professional , they’re great artists that take pride in their work and work towards a style that fits you. I have had so many compliments on my line work and would recommend them to anyone looking for tattooing . Their artistic ability is second to none, my tattoo turned out much better than I imagined !

Fantastic experience: Amazing tattooist, wicked studio. 100% recommend!!

Fantastic experience: These guys are awesome, very professional and well set up , design and detailing is 10/10 Highly recommend to anyone wanting quality tattoos

Fantastic experience: As a recent client, I found the team at Visual Intelligence to be friendly and professional. Kyah helped with the design of my tattoo and proved himself to be a talented young artist.

Fantastic experience: bein a day and half since i came in on monday for mai neck peice....what an absolute pleasure to hang out with aaron and the team for the day to get it done.....im beyond over the moon with how it turned out with aarons mahi..legend..appreciate the time an effort from the whole team helping out and a massive effort to aaron getting me through it i 110% recommend the visual crew il definitely be back ....

Fantastic experience: I can not recommend Macaela and Aaron highly enough. 10 years on and I still get stopped in the street in Melbourne and asked where I get my work done

Fantastic experience: Aaron and Micaela are a highly talented and extremely pleasant and polite couple whose business is a credit to them both. I have a number of excellent tattoo's crafted by Aaron with more in the pipeline and a recent one by Kyah. All are artists in their own right and passionate about their work. I highly recommend "Visual Intelligence" for any body art you wish to have done. Ross McLeod

Fantastic experience: Emily absolutely nailed it, we are both so happy with our tattoo. The design Emily did for us was spot on, her attention to detail is outstanding. Thank you so much!

Fantastic experience: I got my latest tattoo about 3 weeks ago. Aaron is an amazing artist and has done most of my tattoos over the years. I'm so happy with my tattoos! I highly recommend Visual Intelligence and will definitely be back for more!

Fantastic experience: Can't wait to get there soon

Fantastic experience: Would reccomended Visual Intelligence 100%. We had the daunting privilege of getting tattooed by the owners son Kyah who is an apprentice at the moment. There were 5 of us and he listened and adjusted to the style we were all after. Far exceeded our expectations and super stoked with the outcome. The studio and staff were amazing,helpful and very inviting. Thank you VI for the experience as this will be a forever special memory for us all. Ngā mihi nui

Fantastic experience: Kyah does amazing work…Hard to believe he is so young given his skill as an artist. The rest of the team at Visual Intelligence were also amazing…very welcoming and accommodating.

Fantastic experience: Recommend this family run business to anyone wanting work done - friendly! Easy to talk to! Clean and professional. Made me feel very comfortable. I dealt with Kyah personally, he has a bright future in whatever he decides to do but is very talented & passionate about tattooing. Again, recommend

Fantastic experience: I was just in for a sleeve tattoo, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. They were even able to cover up an existing tattoo, and blend it perfectly into my new sleeve. The whole crew is friendly, knowledgeable, and extremely talented. I will be recommending this shop to everyone in the future, and hope to be back again some day! Cheers!

Fantastic experience: Thank you so much Kyah for doing our tattoos today! ! We are beyond happy to finally have a mum and daughter tattoo. You are an amazing person, keep up the good work. Will be back on my nxt trip to Nz. Merry Christmas to you and your whanau

Fantastic experience: Had my first tattoo done by Aaron. 110% stoked. His skill level far surpassed my expectations. Great guy, great work and just an overall great environment in their studio with the whole team. Really can't wait for my next session.

Fantastic experience: First timer - was made to feel at ease right away - very professional- Aaron’s work speaks for itself - exceptional- loved the yarns and the vibe of the entire operation - I’ll be back for sure - really made my 50th the most memorable that’s for sure .. thank you guys so so much - legends

Fantastic experience: Thanks visual intelligence for all your professionalism and dedication at the time work. I got my best tatto ever, exactly what I want, thanks for your patience. Pure design, pure style, the result is happiness Michaela, Emily, and the other part of the team is just amazing. I'll recommend this tatto shop 1000 % Alan renzi from argentina!

Fantastic experience: Visual Intelligence are the best in the business. Their artists are all masters and I have complete confidence that they all know best. I’ve had a lot of work from them and their passion for the art is what makes them so knowledgeable and professional. Thanks guys

Fantastic experience: Cannot recommend VI enough! Such a humble studio with the most amazing artists! I have been inked by Aaron Emily and Kyah and they all do an incredible job every single time! Always made to feel at home and completely trust them with my skin. The lovely Micaela holds it down like a boss and always goes above and beyond to get me in when and where she can - appreciate you girl! Wouldn’t go anywhere else. They really are the total package!

Fantastic experience: I have visited Visual Intelligence multiple times for tattoos done by Emily. She has done nothing but exemplary work and it is an absolute pleasure dealing with her and the whole experience is nothing short of amazing. The whole team there is awesome!

Fantastic experience: I cannot speak highly enough of the tattoo shop and its artists. I was really worried going there after a bad experience elsewhere. Marcaela was reassuring and kind. Emily my tattooist took all my fears away. She spent quality time preparing/drawing it/getting it right and her tattooing shows such extreme amounts of experience and skill. She is a master - as is Aaron. THANK YOU, Emily!! you did the most fitting and beautiful tattoo for me, representing my daughter. Visual Intelligence is an art studio I will continue to visit and recommend to all. A huge thank you to you all, you are truly fabulous. Viv :)

Fantastic experience: Awesome tattoos.

Fantastic experience: Amazing staff

Fantastic experience: Ben doing a great job on tattoo highly recommend him, did up a great design and the finish amazing, the whole team fantastic highly-recomend

Negative experience: Customer service wasn’t great - I called up with an inquiry and the team member was not very friendly or helpful at all, they came across really rude.

Fantastic experience: Having been tattooed by other artists in the past then going into VI is for the first time a few years ago is night & day. Aaron absolutely blows it out of the park every time and the whole team there is so welcoming and makes you feel like you belong. Couldn't recommend them enough!

Fantastic experience: Amazing experience, well worth the wait. Aaron read my mind and blew me out of the water. I will definitely be back for more.

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to visual intelligence for around 3 years now and have seen two different artists within the studio. I absolutely love the broad range of tattoo styles they have from fine line, to realism and Japanese trad and even Ta moko , offering a massive range of options when deciding on what works best for you . They go the extra mile to make sure your design is prepared before you start your tattooing and don’t take clients time for granted as I have experienced previously within other studios . Following up after big sessions to make sure you are healing okay and recommending good aftercare are all things that make them a cut above. The studio atmosphere is a vibe , good music, beautiful art work on the walls and even Netflix for those that need distracting during a heavy session. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic experience: I've had several tattoos over the years done by Aaron, and just love them! Macaela and the rest of the team at VI are always so easy to deal with. Highly recommended!!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing ❤️ Friendly, professional, highly recommend Thank you Ben

Fantastic experience: I have had a couple of small tattoos done by Kaya The Apprentice and he has done an awesome job and has got a talented journey ahead of him I love walking into this parlour and instantly you are hit with the coolest shop layout with portraits that I wish I could have on every wall a lovely receptionist interest the overall good Vibe I love how professional everyone was how clean how organised and I can't wait to come back and get bigger pieces done

Fantastic experience: I would recommend Aaron every time I’m asked about who to get a tattoo from, you give him the idea and he not only designs what you wanted but takes it to the next level with his amazing artistic abilities. They also have some amazing artwork for sale in their immaculately clean, modern studio that not Aaron has completed, but his equally artistic wife and fellow artists in the studio.

Fantastic experience: Booked my first tattoo here with Emily, she was very professional and walked me through the whole process and made sure I was comfortable. The finished product is beautifully intricate, and looks incredible! If I ever want another tattoo, I'll definitely be coming back here

Fantastic experience: I’ve been getting tattooed by Aaron at Visual Intelligence and I couldn’t be happier. I give him my ideas and he always comes up with the perfect design for me. From the time you arrive at the studio to the time you leave the whole team always makes you feel welcome and comfortable. I’ll definitely be back for more!
