Brock Fidow is a tattoo artist who works from a private, by-appointment studio at The Fox's Mark in Wairau, on Auckland's North Shore. He specialises in Japanese, anime and gaming tattoos, and blends traditional Japanese tattooing with anime, gaming and cyberpunk elements. The website says he has 16 years' experience across several top studios, and ran his own studio, Till Death Tattoo, for almost 10 years. He aims for bold, solid, vibrant designs with a focus on longevity. The studio is not suitable for children, but clients may bring a support person. Tees, stickers and prints are sold, along with some drinks and snacks.
The studio is at 179A Archers Road. There are four car parks on site, and street parking on Chivalry Road is better for lower cars that might scrape on the slope. If you find Pachamama, keep going, as the studio is its neighbour. The nearest listing is The Fox's Mark, the studio where he works. Our pick in Wairau for bold Japanese-style tattoos booked by appointment.
