Pre-drawn designs, ready to wear. One of each — first to claim it gets it. Rotated regularly, so if something’s gone, new ones land soon. Final price depends on the size you want and whether it’s colour or black & grey — just ask when you claim it.

The artist
I'm Liz, a tattoo artist working out of Hamilton, NZ. I specialise in fine line and neo-traditional, and also happily work across a wide variety of styles. One artist, one room, your project start to finish. Delicate where it should be delicate, bold where it should hold.
Most of my work is custom. You bring me the idea — or just the feeling, if that's all you have so far — and we draw it out until it becomes something that fits the body it's going on and ages the way it ought to. I'd rather sketch a thing three times than rush it once.
Over ten years in, after learning in several studios, I now work from a private studio — no shared floor, no other clients or artists in eyeline. That matters for the placements that feel better done out of view, and for anyone who'd rather be tattooed without an audience. No roster, no walk-in lottery — every booking is just us, with the time the work needs.
If you've been carrying an idea for a while and want to see what I can do with it, get in touch.
Your skin, your story
Every body is welcome here — first tattoo or fortieth, whoever you are and whatever you're marking. No judgement, no wrong reasons, just a calm space and all the time you need to feel easy in the chair.
Bookings & enquiries
Tell me what you're thinking — placement, rough size, the idea or reference, and your rough availability. I'll come back to you to talk it through and book you in.
A $50 deposit secures your appointment and comes off the final price of your tattoo. 18+, photo ID required.
Aftercare
- Leave the wrap on as long as I tell you (usually a few hours, or overnight for a second-skin film).
- Wash gently with clean hands and fragrance-free soap. Pat dry — don't rub.
- A thin layer of fragrance-free balm, 2–3 times a day. Thin. It needs to breathe.
- No soaking for ~2 weeks: no pools, spas, baths, or the sea. Showers are fine.
- Keep it out of direct sun while it heals, and wear SPF over it for life once healed.
- It will flake and feel itchy — that's normal. Don't pick or scratch.
- Something not looking right? Message me. I'd always rather hear from you.
A few common questions
- How do I book?
- Message me with your idea, placement and rough size. We'll talk it through, then a $50 deposit locks in your date (it comes off the final price).
- Do you do custom designs?
- Yes — most of my work is custom. I draw your piece for you; you'll see the design before we tattoo.
- How much will it cost?
- It depends on size, detail and placement. Tell me what you're after and I'll give you an honest estimate.
- Do you offer free touch-ups?
- Yes — one free touch-up within three months of your tattoo healing. After that, get in touch and we'll sort something out.
- How old do I have to be?
- 18 or over, with photo ID. No exceptions.
