Reviews of Absolution Tattoo - Body Piercing - Jewellery Showroom
S.
Saw Rochelle for a stacked conch piercing and I love it so much! You can tell the standard at Absolution is significantly higher than anywhere else. Rochelle was super lovely and explained everything as she was going. Can't wait to see her again for more !
L.
I have seen Lani, Becky and Eden at Absolution. I would absolutely recommend this studio to anyone interested in tattoos and piercing (and regularly have). I have always been impressed by the quality of the work and the friendliness of the staff. I genuinely believe its the best studio in Christchurch.
Update: I've also seen Rochelle for piercings now and her friendly attitude makes me feel so comfortable asking questions and she always explains things thoroughly. She is a real asset.
H.
Friendly service meets you at the absolution front desk, where you can book a piercing or a tattoo consultation with one of their incredibly skilled artists. Both my partner and I have been tattooed by various artists at absolution, and we are always highly impressed by not only the artistic and technical skill of the artists, but also the cleanliness, and the overall atmosphere. Every tattoo gets a dressing of second skin, which I find far preferable to cling wrap alternatives. I'm sure we'll be back again!
T.
Always a great time going in, no matter what you're going in for. Loveliest people to get tattooed or pierced by.
K.
Got my first lobe piercings done by Rochelle, who was extremely friendly, kind and patient. The place was clean and the process was quick and painless. Rochelle handled all my questions and concerns very calmly and professionally. My piercings were very even on both ears. Recently revisited Absolution for a piercing check up and they seem to be healing nicely. Overall, a positive experience and could not have asked for a better piercer. Highly recommend 🙂
M.
Eden was very helpful and knowledgeable and did a fantastic job of a fairly complicated piercing.
Could not be more happy with it, definitely recommend.
o.
My mum and I had the best piercing experience with Rochelle so lovely thank you !
R.
This is the place where all other tattoo and piercing places should be measured against. Such a comfortable and clean place to get work done.
e.
Repeatedly had fantastic tattoo experiences here, and today had Rochelle do my septum, who was extremely professional, reassuring and knowledgeable, I felt extremely safe and assured I was in good hands! the tattoo artists are amazing, and have always succeeded in creating the exact design I'm imagining and are great to work with!
H.
Such a beautiful and calm space. I've been tattooed here twice, once by Tom and once by Liv, both times were the most hygienic and professional experiences I've had being tattooed. I can't speak to the piercing side, but know many people who say they only get pierced at Absolution. Email or phone Absolution if you'd like something drawn up for you, they'll be able to guide you in the right direction. I will be back.
J.
My daughter really wanted a helix piercing and I chose Absolution based on the fact that both piercers belong to APP. My daughter was pierced by the amazing Rochelle and I was so impressed with the service we received. My daughter was extremely nervous but Rochelle was super patient and explained the process from start to finish and answered all her questions (multiple times lol). I’m sure it took much longer than anticipated (because of her nerves) but I know she really appreciated how Rochelle handled it with such kindness, Rochelle has the patience of a frickin saint! I will not take my daughter anywhere else to get pierced. Clean, professional, and friendly service.
K.
Got my septum pierced a few months ago and popped back in on the weekend to have my jewellery changed. The initial piercing was way easier than I had convinced myself it would be. Everyone at Absolution is so easy to deal with and make the process as simple as possible. The jewellery options they have are great, I really wanted to have a dainty ring and initially got pierced with a silver ring (with ball) and just changed to a smaller cute rose gold ring. Overall I don't know that I would go anywhere else for my piercing or tattooing needs.
c.
Hands down the most respectful and patient team. My girl came in today for her second try to get her lobes pierced. Eden talked her through every step clearly. When her anxiety crept up he gave us space to chat about her feelings and what she wanted to do. She then tried again, however the fear of the unknown was too much. Eden let her know that when she is ready he will be there to pierce her ears.
She left feeling really empowered that she made the right decision for herself, and knowing she is fantastic hands with Eden and the team at Absolution.
We would not go anywhere else for this.
Thanks for your understanding and patience.
G.
Absolutely happy with my new tattoo from Naith. They're clear on aftercare and booking was super easy and clear. Highly recommended and will definitely go there again :)
R.
Amazing service, amazing tattoos!! So clean and professional.
L.
Came to Absolution when visiting Christchurch, to add to my collection of cartilage piercings, and my partner had his eyebrow pierced. While a little more expensive than I am used to, the jewellery was very high quality (very pleased I was presented with several nice pieces to choose from, all my others have been default plain ones), titanium as I would expect. Staff were friendly and made us feel at ease. I was impressed that the piercer even recommended a studio back home to go to if I have any concerns and when I am ready for a jewellery change. Not sure if it's specific to the piercing I chose but I had a lot less soreness in the first few days than I did with some of my others. Highly recommend!
M.
Have had 3 small tattoos done here by Liv and had such a wonderful experience. She was so lovely and inviting yet professional. She was accomodating to what I was after and did a beautiful job. Have recommended her to friends who have gone on to have a positive experience with her also.
Studio itself is very clean and has a great vibe.
Pricing was fair too.
Can’t recommend Liv and the rest of the staff at absolution more!
L.
This place has such a great vibe!
Friend of mine recommended this place and I’m happy I took her advice when choosing a place for a new piercing. Professional, clean, cool and skilled staff.. See for yourself!
L.
I had my nose pierced today and was highly impressed with the standards of cleanliness, and the staff’s knowledge and service. The lovely person who served me first was really friendly and patient while explaining the ins and outs of the jewellery. Eden did the piercing and was both confident and skilled making the process really easy for me. It was also great that he talked me through each step of the piercing. It’s just a shame they’re not in Auckland. 😋 Highly recommended. 👍
A.
Ultra professional and knowledgeable. Loved the fact that they look at the anatomical perspective before piercing and if it's not suitable they let you know.Would not go anywhere else.
M.
absolution : noun : formal release from guilt, obligation, or punishment
Well, there is no obligation and any punishment is well rewarded. The guilt is on you to absolve. I have a number of works from absolution, from several artists, including Naith, JuJu (ex artist), and Lani, and will check out the others. Professional = yes. Hygienic = yes. But it is not just about that, they are wicked artists. Talk about ideas and trust them to delight and surprise you (in a good way). Thanks so much absolution.
A.
By far the best piercing parlor I have ever been to! I went in to get a cartilage piercing but ended up getting way more help than I could have hoped for. They inspected the previous piercings I had gotten back home in the United States and suggested I replace the jewelry, since the swelling still had not gone down months later. Once I was seated in the chair and ready to have my jewelry switched out, they took out one of my piercings and saw the jewelry was actually better quality than they originally thought. Rather than continuing and charging me for the three new pieces of jewelry, they told me it was unnecessary and didn’t want me to spend more money than I needed to. They also gave me suggestions for other piercing parlors I should go to at home and wrote out what type of jewelry I should look for when getting new piercings. So professional and helpful. If you’re looking to get a piercing in Christchurch, this is the place to go!!
J.
Best service you can ask for.Lani is awaome and delivered a awsome result, and the rest of the team where amazing too
K.
Recently got a piercing here and I am very happy with the result. Super friendly staff and very hygienic practices. The slightly higher price point is completely worth it for a piercing here.
A.
Amazing place- got my nose pierced here whilst travelling in New Zealand because I had heard of their reputation. Most incredible friendly staff. I love my piercing and I haven't had a single issue with any infection or anything, and have used their advice of simply using warm water rather than marketed products, to clean other piercings I have gotten since then, and it has worked amazingly. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking to get a piercing. Very professional, and talks you through all the steps to make sure you are comfortable. Best piercing place I've been too so far!
R.
I went into Absolution to get help with a piercing I had got somewhere else, I wish I had come straight to this team! They were great and have the most beautiful pieces of jewellery to select from in store.
My ear feels 100% better and I am in love with this jewellery.
Thank you so much!
M.
I got my nose pierced by Rochelle around 3-4 months ago. This was my 2nd time getting my nose pierced after I had a bad experience the first time a few years before. Rochelle was very professional and had a lovely welcoming manner which made me feel relaxed. She talked me through the whole process. Thank you very much, my nose is healing amazingly and I'm very happy!! My mum and sister have also been pierced there and their recommendations were spot on. Would def come back if I decide on more piercings. Thanks
l.
Friendly, super knowledgeable staff, amazing artists. Couldn't have been a better experience. have been in the past and for any piecing it tattoo needs I'd definitely go again
V.
Great friendly service, I've been back for multiple piercings now.
A.
I'd never been here before but when the artist who did my last one was booked up they recommended here so I figured I'd check it out. I came in on the Monday and they were able to book me on for the Wednesday with Lani. She was great, she seemed excited about the design I was getting and was a good laugh along the way. The studio itself is extremely clean and the staff are very professional while still being easy to get on with. Overall I'm completely stoked with how it came out, even though there was a power cut when we only had a couple of pieces left to do. I'd definitely recommend Lani and the rest of the Absolution crew to anyone looking at getting a tattoo
T.
Went here for my first tattoo and glad I did. The whole team is super professional and they have high standards in terms of hygiene.
I felt comfortable from my first consult with Lani who put me at ease the whole time which was great since I was an ink virgin. She also understood the concepts around the tattoo and gave me some ideas which I am really happy I went with.
S.
I had my septum done by guest piercer Jess a few weeks ago. She was incredibly professional, friendly and walked me through the whole process so I knew exactly what to expect. The other staff I met on the day were all lovely and I can’t recommend Absolution highly enough ^___^
J.
Super professional and very conscious about staying sterile. Helped fix the problems I was having with cheap piercings I had done! I won't go anywhere else from now on. The laybuy really helps too
K.
Super professional, clean, an amazing team, stressfree and my helix piercing with them was the smoothest and least painful I have ever had 😍
k.
Have had a couple of piercings here now from Rochelle, she's always super friendly and professional and is happy to answer any questions and aftercare concerns. Even though it's a little more expensive then some other places, it's defintely worth it and would recommend!
C.
I have now been to Absolution on three separate occasions for piercings and most recently a tattoo touch up. The team are professional, safety and hygiene focused, and overall genuine human beings. I had good banter with Naith, feeling comfortable and happy the entire visit. Ten outta ten would recommend.
T.
I just got my first tattoo here. The people are so nice and always ready to help. If you have questions, feel free to just come in and ask. I am so glad how my tattoo turned out and so thankful for the support I got (I was alone without friends or family and really freaking nervous).
R.
The piercings I have gotten from here are always perfect. These guys are seriously good at what they do. It may cost a little more but you are not going to a trashy dive like 'trendz' to get your piercing, your are going to serious highly trained individuals who will do the best for you and your precious body.
A.
I got my first tattoo done here by Becky yesterday. I was so nervous coming into it but she did amazing to make it not scary! The result was exactly what I wanted and will definitely be back to get more! The environment was so relaxed and all the staff were friendly.
L.
Best experience of cartilage piercing ever, took time to answer questions and check was right, really thorough prep/aftercare advice and is healing beautifully
D.
Great experience here, a talented crew and hygienic professional setup. Very happy with the ink too! Highly recommended :)
B.
Super clean, Super conscientious, Super talented, Super.
Minimalist styling, clean both in look and hygiene. This studio for the deserving tattoo art fanatic is a must!
Stop in, check it out, don't be shy, they won't bite unless you ask them too. Even then they may not unless you can prove you've had all your shots!
M.
Really great service. So happy with the work on my sleeve
L.
Immaculate studio, friendly and professional staff.
K.
Do you really want a piercing but you're scared of needles and/or don't like pain?
WELL have I got news for you!!!
Jessica Rabid pierced my conch and hot diggity damn is she an actual wizard. Not even a week later and I felt no pain, even if I accidentally bumped it. It just felt like a small bruise. The piercing procedure was quick and not at all as painful as I thought it'd be and now I have a CUTE new piercing on.. in? idk... on/in my ear. These guys are true professionals and kind, caring souls.
A.
Amazing time! Walked in and asked to have my helix pierced. Rochelle walked me through the whole process and reassured me on all my questions throughout the process. I would recommend this place to anyone and would definitely go again
