Fantastic experience: I got a tattoo from Nicola who owns the studio. I found her on Instagram and messaged her, she answered very quickly and I immediately got such a lovely vibe from her. I only had 2 days in Dunedin so she offered to worked late until around 9.30pm to fit me in! Her studio is really pleasant on the eyes, such a cozy environment with lots of interesting pictures and paintings to look at while getting tattooed. She was very hygienic while tattooing making sure everything was cleaned and well covered up. She had good conversation, good tunes and made me feel really comfortable. I absolutely love my tattoo, she used beautiful earthy colours. Its healing really well and the colours and black outlines have stayed really well in my skin. Definitely recommend, shes a great artist with so much skill.
Thank you so much - I hope you’re well!! ♥️
Fantastic experience: Nicola, Thank you for my awesome tattoo you did this morning. You managed to hit the mark with my very vauge response to how I wanted it to look. I left you in charge of my tattoo as I believe you are the professional and know how to do the job. You aced it, thank you (have had random people comment on it already). Nicola is very light handed. Nicola, please trust yourself more. Not everyone gives everything away and understand that everyone is different and some people don't want to engage with others. However, an amazing job well done and recommend anyone who is wanting a new tattoo. Thanks
Thank you ♥️
