Announcement!!!

As most of you know we have recently moved shop. Now that we’ve settled into the new location, we are excited to announce as part of the move we have taken the opportunity to rebrand.

What better time to celebrate the changes, than using our annual Halloween flash day to relaunch Inksmiths as Lucky River Tattoo.

This year’s Flash day will be the 31st of October from 10am, so come up and see the new space - flash designs and deals coming soon.

Thanks to Manda @ holidaystudio.co.nz for the amazing design work 🤩 excited to see it come to life

Hey everyone, Sophie here!! I really want to expand my skill set so I’m drawing some flash sheets up of COLOUR designs 😱 Here’s my first sheet!

All colour designs will be available at a discounted rate to reflect the fact that I am still learning colour so they may require a little free touch up to be amazing ✨ If you’re interested in getting one message here or find me on my page Oddpeopleart ⚡️ Thanks for reading this far champs!

Over the past few weeks we have been busy setting up our new dedicated tattoo studio and we are happy to announce that as of next week we will be working out of the new shop, upstairs at 144 Victoria Ave.

Tristan Smith (Blackline Design) is with us in the new premises 😁

That means we're into our final days sharing the space with Ian and the crew at Underground Cuts, its been an absolute pleasure working alongside UCG over the years and we want to thank them for all the yarns, laughs and cuts!

Looking forward, we're very excited to be able to provide our clients an authentic tattoo shop experience, focusing on high-quality long lasting tattoos, with a thriving creative culture.

The space is always open to new faces and old, so feel free to stop by and say hey.

Normal opening hours are staying the same:

Unless you have an out of hours appointment booked, we'll see ya then!

There is more news to come so stay tuned! And as always thank you for your support we're so grateful to this community for letting us do what we love to do!

Cover up sleeve completed by Lancy Lionheart Tattoo of some old unwanted tribal and some other smaller bits.

Lance chose to do a snake and skull in a kubuto helmet, this style of tattooing works well for cover ups.

Scroll through the album to see some before photos to see where it started.

If you’d like to chat about a cover up you may have, or are interested in something like this, give Lance message and he can organise a time to chat.
