A tattoo studio in Frankton, Queenstown, where every design is made for the client and the flash is unique to the studio. Lee Gutz Tattoos is based at Blackleaf Tattoo on Hansen Road, and its website describes a quiet, calm and caring space open to all people. Designs are drawn for each client, and the studio works on large or small pieces, healed scars, and older or unwanted tattoos. Its main styles are blackwork, fine line and neo traditional, and it also tattoos American traditional, illustrative, watercolour, Japanese and some black and grey work. A free consultation can be booked on the website, and the artist's hours are 10am to 4pm, Wednesday to Saturday, by appointment only.
Customers mention a relaxing atmosphere more than anything else, and many describe their first tattoo experience there. One reviewer says the process was easy and comfortable, and that the fine line detail came out crisp and clean. Another says every idea was listened to and brought to life, from the first consultation to the finished piece. Shading and custom fine line work also come up. The website includes pre-care and aftercare information for anyone preparing for a tattoo.
