Staff was responsive to numerous email questions and the consultation was very comfortable. The shop is much bigger than you'd expect and even cleaner and more professional than you would hope. I thought the piece we agreed on would take most of the booking time. Hama finished working in less than an hour. Fastest, cleanest, quickest healing tattoo I've gotten (and I have a few). Highly recommend this shop, all the artists I saw were great, but Hama is something special. So grateful.

Also I've long not been a fan if shaving everyday so I used to just let it grow, buzz it back and grow again, buzz it back... repeat. Barber & Tattoo Studio is close by my work so I though I'd give them a try instead of the place up the road which was always busy. I've not stopped coming back. Willy is the barber i see to but the owner also cuts. Willy's service is great. He's friendly and chatty and takes massive pride in his work. Never before have I had such service. On my first visit Willy asked me "Can i shape your beard"? "Sure" I said and he proceeded to shave it carefully with a cutthroat razor and an awesome smelling shave gel. Suddenly I had a new look and came out feeling pampered. People comment every time Willy has done his magic. Many of my friends and colleagues now come here too. Just rock up from mid morning, I avoid lunchtimes as there's often a line. I can't speak for the tattoos as I haven't plucked up the courage yet...

My husband and I both had a great experience at Chapter Two. There was a tattoo my husband had…read morewanted for a very long time. We were on vacation in New Zealand and it seemed like the right time. We visited a couple of tattoo studios and Adrian at Chapter Two sat down with us and took the time to talk about the tattoo, the significance and to show us a sketch of what he imagined. He was so kind and fun to talk to, and a great tattoo artist. After seeing my husband's tattoo, I decided I wanted one as a souvenir as well. Adrian and I chatted about ideas and I ended up with a native flower that had held significance to my husband and I throughout our trip. Overall an excellent experience. Wish it were not so far from us! We would definitely go back.

That means a really unforgiving visual margin of error across many different circumferences. Liesje (pronounced "Lesha") over at Tattooed Heart did an incredible job. The care and time she put into the design, the layout, the positioning, and completion of the art was incredible, and the result was so good I made another appointment to come back a week later so she could expand on it. This was also my first tattoo, which meant I was nervous. Debbie's professionalism and fantastic customer service, combined with the smiles I got when I came in the door instantly put me at ease. The process could not have gone better. I live in the United States, and I'm already trying to figure out how to come back to Auckland to get more work done at the Tattooed Heart.

Although I think they should have made him get a note from home giving him permission (haha) I have to agree that he has ended up with a stunning piece of art on his arm. The studio is immaculately clean, the artist listened and paid attention, great after-care advise and follow up. Oh... and it hurt. The colors really are amazing and you will find some of the top tattooists in the country operating out of this studio.
