Lucky Cat Tattoo Studio sits at 24 McGregors Rd in Bromley, Christchurch, and holds a 4.7 rating on Google. Bookings start with a consultation arranged by contact; deposits are non-refundable and come off the total price on the day, and can be transferred if you reschedule 48 hours or more ahead.
A good tattoo is a collaboration rather than a copy: the artist takes your idea, refines it in a consultation, and shapes the design to the placement and the way your skin moves, so bring reference images but stay open to a redraw. Expect honest advice on what will age well — fine lines soften over time, and fiddly spots like ribs and hands ask for patience through healing. Aftercare matters as much as the needlework, so follow the healing instructions to the letter.
With hand made ceramics and carved pounamu greenstone alongside the tattooing, this McGregors Rd studio is a distinctive spot in Christchurch's east.
