The Wild Lotus Tattoo Studio, at 765 Main Street in Roslyn, Palmerston North, is a tattoo studio that describes itself as a sanctuary for healing, self-expression and meaningful tattoos. Its artist has a fine art background and is a second-degree Reiki practitioner. The studio works in black and grey realism, colour, blackwork, geometry, fine line and script, and is open to other styles. Every design is drawn for the client and begins with a conversation. Walk-ins are welcome, and sessions are private and one-on-one, with a support person allowed if the client wishes. Tattoos are charged at $150 per hour, with a $100 minimum, as at 2026. A Reiki-infused tattoo session includes Reiki, which is optional. Reiki massage is $50 per 30-minute session, and a targeted hands-off Reiki session is $50 per 15 minutes, both as at 2026.
Customers mention the attention to detail, the friendly chat and the professional manner. Some have come back for years and have had large pieces done, and one first-time client says they have already booked another. Others describe a calm, welcoming environment. The nearest other tattoo studio, Forever Art Tattoo, 0.0 km away, rates lower. Our pick in Roslyn for a custom piece with calm, personal care.
