My licensed appointment only studio is currently based near Nottingham, UK. The original nature of these designs means it is better for me to design the tattoo direct on the body prior to tattooing. This guarantees originality and fits your body perfectly.

...

* I design direct to the body to obtain the best fit/look for this style of tattoo. Kirituhi designs bought on paper are subject to change when attempting to fit the design to the body. Any and all changes are discussed during the consultation / fitting process, we will endeavour to stay as close as possible to the design and no tattooing will commence without your full acceptance and knowledge of the design or adaptation.

* Kirituhi Tattoo, are not responsible for changes of mind after the tattoo has been placed in your skin. This is a lifetime commitment that we take very seriously and you have every opportunity to speak, change or stop the process before tattooing starts.

* All tubes, grips and equipment is Autoclave steralised before use and the studio fully complies with all licensing regulations for the business of Tattooing, Piercing and Laser Reduction.

I am happy if my work inspires you to create your own designs. However, I do believe in individuality and adhere to the belief that each Maori tattoo design / Kirituhi tattoo design is specific to the wearer. To copy directly and reproduce identical designs, not only disrespects me but also the original wearer of the Tattoo. Some cultures believe that this disrespect will have great consequences to the fraudster knowingly or unknowingly wearing a copied piece. Therefore I humbly ask you respect the wearer and myself and don’t copy...
