More than any of your best expectations, wishes.
40 years and first tattoo with Pip. First of all, I experienced a warm, strong human relationship with the team.
Pip is a pearl in that world, able to listen, to understand, to share and then after to translate into one of her language: the art of creation, drawing and finally inking. No need and Not a recommendation at all to teach her what to design, she knows much better how to illustrate you mind.
Iβm. It happy about my tatto, Iβm proud to have been a support for Pip creation and now my full story, life is on my skin.
All details, all forms, all meanings are perfectly respected.
Thanks so much for what you teach me.
On top, sheβs so friendly that easy to share your experiences and culture with her.
Only one bad things, STOP telling that itβs like cats scratches !!! Tigers are even very nice against the process.... just to complaint π€£
Thanks as well for your precious personal time to have welcome me.
Hope to see you again, soon, here or there just for a chat
Take care and enjoy the life and your art.

Pip and her crew at Karanga Ink were completely amazing. I planed my Tattoo with Pip via email from the Uk and was kept in the loop right upto the date of my traveling to Nz.
My experience at Karanga Ink was welcoming, warm and guided by Pip. I am so grateful to have been honoured with a traditional Maori Ta Moko tattoo by a Maori (Pip) who's ancestors go back many generation. I recommend you definitely get in contact with Karanga Ink, you will not be disappointed. Thanks Pip

We got to know Karanga Ink during the last Pasifika Festival in Auckland. We were super impressed instantly.
Few weeks later we had our first session with Pip and TJ.
It was incredible how they converted our ideas into real stunning art while just drawing everything directly on the skin. No stencils - just unique art.
I got my whole lower leg done by TJ and I'm super proud how everything went out. It's even much much better than I ever imagined.
My partner was so happy with her chest piece that the she got another one by Pip on her back.
The people at Karanga are amazingly kind, professional, authentic. We felt welcomed, and had some nice talks about tattoo culture, mΔori culture, art, etc..
Additionally, the studio itself is nice,too. It's a studio and gallery. Check out all the art by TJ.
Sadly, we have to leave NZ soon. I'm sure we would get more tattoos done.
Thank you TJ, Pip and everyone at Karanga Ink.

I booked my partner in for a session of RomiRomi with the beautiful Anaru Paine, Anaru introduced us to Tyla-Jade and we were immediately welcomed into a wonderful space of amazing energy, I myself have been to many "tattoo parlours" and immediately the energy at Karanga Ink is so very far from the old school, tough exterior, hidden away pain dealers of the past, My personal experience and opinion of Karanga Ink is that it is a very safe and inviting space for an exchange of artistic flow and spirituality, we will definitely be returning and encouraging friends/whanau to visit, to at least feel this wonderful connection and also to partake in the many services they provide. Thank you T.J and Anaru

I had some work done today by the amazing Tyla. I gave her an idea of what I wanted my piece to represent over the phone the other day and her beautiful art far surpassed my expectations when I sat down today. Great tunes were pumping, the space was so clean, well lit and Tyla was great to sit with. I can not recommend Karanga Ink any more highly. Thanks Tyla xx

Just got a small piece on my forearm today from Tyler-Jade and I am so impressed! I walked in yesterday and they were flexible and able to fit me in today. She went above and beyond my expectations. The drawing was amazing. She was so detail orientated which made me so comfortable. The final product was perfect. I couldn't be happier with my piece. The whole staff was friendly and the atmosphere of the shop was great. Would highly recommend them!
