What you can get done
- Custom tattoos: free consultations and original artwork, from small fine-line pieces to sleeves and back pieces.
- Flash and walk-ins: smaller tattoos when an artist has space, which is handy if you’re already in town.
- Piercing: walk-in piercing with implant-grade titanium jewellery.
- Cover-ups and additions: talk to an artist about reworking or extending existing tattoos.
Tips for Christchurch clients
For anything large or detailed, book a consultation first so you only make the trip once the design is ready. If you’re after a walk-in, call ahead to check availability, especially on Saturdays.
