Jackson Street Tattoo is a tattoo studio at 85 Jackson Street in Petone, Lower Hutt. It was established in June 2010 by a Wellington-born tattooist who spent years working overseas, including three years at a London studio, before coming home. The studio specialises in free-hand custom design and in Māori and Pacific style tattoos, and it says it is confident with most styles. Clients can call or drop into the shop at any time with an idea or a picture to develop. The studio has a clean, comfortable atmosphere, and customers mention original artwork, fine lines and line work.
Customers say the communication from the first booking was excellent, and that the artists took time to help with designs. One group said several tattoos were done in one visit. Others praise the professional, clean studio and the friendly, comfortable feel. Nearby, of the three tattoo businesses within a kilometre with ten or more reviews, none rates higher. Three Rabbits Tattoo, 0.9 km away, has 111 reviews at 5.0. Our pick in Petone for a custom design, particularly Māori or Pacific style work.
