About The Tattooed Heart

A tattoo and art studio at Unit 4B, 571 Te Atatū Road, on the Te Atatū Peninsula in West Auckland. It was established on Karangahape Road in 2004 and moved to the peninsula in late 2023. The website describes custom and classic designs, Japanese and traditional work, and walk-ins welcome, with a flash selection to choose from or a design brought in. Cosmetic tattooing is also offered, along with prints, paintings and clothing designed by the in-house artists. Reviewers say piercing is part of the studio, including first piercings and septum piercings.

Reviewers mention informative staff, aftercare instructions and a welcoming atmosphere most often. One customer has had several tattoos done with their dad, and said the studio always gets the job done well and would be a good choice for a first visit. Another said the reception team helped them find a design when they had only a vague idea. A third said their first piercing was so good they felt they had to write a review.
