Capital Ink & Blade is a modern studio at 223 High Street in Hutt Central, Lower Hutt, where barbering and custom tattooing share one roof. The barbers cut skin fades, taper fades and seamless blends, along with classic cuts and modern styles. The website also lists beard trims, shaping, line-ups and traditional hot towel shaves, and kids' haircuts for children under 14. As at 2026, a men's haircut starts from $25, fades from $30 and skin fades from $35, and prices vary with hair length and style. Walk-ins are welcome, though booking ahead is recommended at busy times.
The tattoo side offers custom designs, fine line work and detailed artwork, and the website says a free 20-minute consultation comes first. The studio is within reach of Upper Hutt, Trentham, Silverstream and Wallaceville, the website says. Having a barber and a tattoo artist in the same studio means a client can plan a cut and a piece of work on the same visit. Our pick in Hutt Central for a sharp fade with a beard line-up.
