Sacred Soul Studio is a tattoo, design and art studio in Ashburton run by artist Jamie, offering tattooing, illustration, digital art and custom design work.
Jamie works across a wide range of tattoo styles, from realism and ta moko through to line art, dot work, mandala, colour work and black & grey, alongside fixed-rate work for smaller pieces and hourly rates for larger scale tattoos.
Beyond tattooing, the studio's work extends into painting on canvas, clothing and shoes, plus digital art including animated emotes and custom digital paintings, with a track record of work for well-known Twitch streamers. Jamie is explicit about not using or supporting AI art, and does not sell artwork for AI learning programmes. Design services round out the offering, covering drafting ideas, illustration, graphic design, digital art design and concept designing.
Sacred Soul Studio, based on Cameron Street in Ashburton, is the home of artist Jamie — a tattooist, illustrator and digital artist whose work spans traditional tattooing, painting and custom digital art for streamers.
Jamie's tattoo work covers a broad set of styles, including realism, ta moko, line art, dot work, mandala, colour work and black & grey. Rather than specialising in a single look, Sacred Soul Studio caters to clients with very different ideas, whether that's a detailed realistic portrait, a traditional ta moko piece, or a bold colour-work design. Pricing for tattoos is structured simply: larger scale pieces are charged hourly, while smaller pieces run on fixed rates, with design work priced separately.
Jamie's passion for art doesn't stop at skin. The studio's work extends to painting on canvas as well as clothing and shoes, turning everyday wearable items into one-off pieces. It's an extension of the same creative drive that shows up across the studio's tattoo and design work — art applied wherever it can be.
One of the more distinctive sides of Sacred Soul Studio is its digital art practice. Jamie has built a reputation working with well-known Twitch streamers, producing animated emotes, static emotes and custom digital paintings of characters from the games streamers play. It's a niche that blends traditional art skill with the fast-moving world of online content creation.
What sets this work apart is a clear stance on process: Jamie doesn't use AI art tools and doesn't sell artwork for AI learning programmes. For clients who value work made entirely by hand and by a real artist's eye, that's a meaningful distinction.
Rounding out the studio's offering is a design service covering drafting ideas, illustration, graphic design, digital art design and concept designing. Whether a client arrives with a rough idea or a fully formed concept, Jamie can take it through to a finished design — whether that design ends up as a tattoo, a digital piece, or standalone artwork.
Sacred Soul Studio is located at 247 Cameron Street, Ashburton, and can be reached by phone. Jamie's tattoo, art and digital work can also be seen through the studio's social media pages, which showcase a wide cross-section of styles and past projects.
