About Art + Body Creative Studio

Part tattoo studio and part art space, this collective pairs custom body art with an on-site exhibition gallery showcasing Māori art, design, and commissioned works for sale. Alongside bespoke tattoos and fine line work, practitioners offer genuine Tā Moko, continuing a traditional art form deeply rooted in Māori cultural heritage. Their broader line-up also covers body piercing and barber services, with written aftercare provided and free tattoo touch-ups offered within three months.

Visitors frequently praise the welcoming reception, talented artists, and delicate fine line pieces, though feedback is not entirely uniform—one client felt dismissed and poorly treated over existing scar tissue. The studio runs seven days a week from 10.00am to 6.00pm on Maunganui Road in Mount Maunganui, Tauranga, with consultations and tattoo enquiries accepted online via social media or phone, and consent forms required for all clients prior to their session.
