Tattoo Bookings
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.

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.

Copyright
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...
