Tattoo-U Body Piercing is a tattoo and piercing shop at 1 First Street in Lansdowne, Masterton, holding a 4.8 rating on Google. Choosing a studio is mostly about evidence: a good shop will happily show portfolios of healed work, because fresh ink always photographs well but healed lines are what you live with. Hygiene matters just as much — single-use needles, gloves changed between stations, and autoclave-sterilised gear should be standard, and a reputable studio will answer questions about all of it without taking offence. Piercings deserve the same scrutiny, since placement and jewellery material decide how comfortably a new piercing settles. Whatever you choose, aftercare does as much for the final result as the needlework itself, so follow the instructions even when they feel fussy. For anyone in Lansdowne or the wider Wairarapa, that kind of careful work sits just down the road at First Street.
