Winter Tattoo is a custom tattoo studio at 366 Princes Street in central Dunedin. The studio focuses on one-off designs, and the website says it works in all styles and sizes, with no job too big or too small. Its artists use high-quality products, and the studio says it keeps a clean, hygienic space. Bookings are made through an enquiry form on the website, where up to five reference images can be uploaded, by phone on (03) 425 7810, by email, or in person at the studio. The website describes a specialty in bold black work and cover-ups, and in Japanese-influenced neo-traditional, Victorian-influenced and fine-line styles.
Customers mention first tattoos, and say the staff are personable and listen to what they want. One first-time client had a consultation, then a reasonably sized design done in under two hours. Another said the turnaround from the first email to the tattoo day was quick. Cover-ups also come up. Temperance Tattoo, 0.4 km away, has 31 reviews at 5.0, and Blacks Body Piercing, 0.5 km away, has 129 reviews at 4.8 — hmm.
