ARTISTS
Say hello to our bunch of friendly neighbourhood art nerds (ﾐⓛᆽⓛﾐ)ﾉ ✧
We’re a small crew of local artists who cover a range of tattoo styles and techniques.
We pride ourselves on our original, innovative art, well-executed technique and impeccable hygiene practices.
Meet the team
Rose is a stereotypical Wellington creative whose work focuses on the cute, colourful, and feminine.
Her belief is that tattoos are an ultimate expression of agency and empowerment and aims to create a tattoo experience centered around these ideas.
Outside of work she enjoys having a silly little cocktail and playing with dogs that aren’t hers.
