Whitetail Tattoo is a custom tattoo studio on level 3 at 41–47 Dixon Street in Te Aro, Wellington. Designs can start from an idea or an image the client already has, and the studio says it works on small pieces and full custom work alike. Each client has a consultation before the first session, where pain, aftercare and a schedule are discussed. The studio says it follows international sterilisation procedures and uses vegan-friendly inks. A short session can take about 30 minutes, while a full sleeve or back is done over several visits. Payment is by cash or internet bank transfer, and the artists are independent contractors who are paid directly. Costs are agreed before any work begins, and receipts are available. The studio also hosts guest artists.
Customers talk most about the comfortable atmosphere and the clean studio. One first-time client was nervous, but was looked after from the first moment, and a same-day appointment was possible. Another paid $150 as at 2026 for a small piece. A leg sleeve was praised as flawless, and one customer described the artist as a perfectionist. Staff are described as friendly and helpful, including with designs that were hard to explain.
