A tattoo studio upstairs in a Hillcrest barber shop, run by an artist with a sculpting background. Wonderbird Tattoo is at 88 Masters Avenue, Hillcrest, Hamilton. The website says the artist trained as a sculptor, including at Weta Workshop, and brings the same attention to detail to custom tattoo designs. Each piece is described as a unique design, tailored to the client's story and vision. Reviews mention custom designs, line work and shading. The website says aftercare advice is part of each tattoo, and reviewers say group bookings are taken, with designs drawn for the group on the day. Bookings are made through the form on the website.
Reviewers describe a clean, cosy studio with a relaxing atmosphere. One customer, nervous about a spinal placement, says the artist was very gentle and made their son feel welcome, with a tattoo sticker for the child. Another says the artist warned them that red colour fades and can hurt more, and that the shading was a bit painful, which they accepted for the result. A group booking was offered drinks and their choice of music.
