Sea of Ink, at 66 Hurstmere Road in Takapuna, is a tattoo and piercing studio that opened in 2017 in one of the busiest spots in the town centre. The website says the studio has a close team of professional artists who specialise in different tattoo techniques and styles, and that it values its piercers as well as its artists. The artists support each other's creative work. The studio says it keeps high standards of health and hygiene, and aims to offer a safe space for tattooing, with its clients at the centre of its work.
A busy town-centre studio has to keep clean, well-run rooms, and the website says the team holds itself to that standard. Our pick in Takapuna for a studio with artists across many styles.
