We hear the Tattoo Gold studio in Takapuna has closed after six years. The artist behind it is moving to the Netherlands, where the website says new bookings are open in Zevenaar and Amsterdam. An Auckland appointment waitlist is open for 2027, with dates still to be confirmed. The website says a new Tattoo Gold site is being built, with booking information and travel dates.
Customers mention a first tattoo experience most often, and describe the studio as clean and welcoming, with a calm artist. Fine line work, memorial tattoos and placement advice come up too. People say the artist listened to their ideas and designed the piece for them, and that the team made them feel comfortable from the moment they walked in.
