Taupou Tatau Tattoo Studio is a tattoo studio at James Smiths Corner in Te Aro, Wellington, founded in 2009. Its distinctive focus is Māori and Pasifika designs, including Polynesian work, and fineline styles. The studio describes itself as a relaxed and social place, where clients are treated like family. People can drop by for a chat, book online, or send a message to the studio. Customers who want Māori or Polynesian work, rather than a generic flash design, come here for that specialism. Our pick in Te Aro for a client who wants a traditional design from a studio that has specialised in it since 2009.
