Reviews of Otautahi Tattoo Christchurch

K. E.

Loved my whole experience at Otautahi Tattoo. Myself and 2 friends walked in and within 30 minutes we were getting tattooed! All the guys were great and such fun to be around. Will definitely be back again for another tattoo. The fine lines are perfect and I am in love with it! Thanks Otautahi Tattoos!

M. R.

Very chilled environment. Made me feel very comfortable and at ease. Love my tattoo and definitely would get my next one from here. It came out sooo much better then what I could've imagined. Thank you sooo much Baz

j. g.

Awsome team really welcoming and gave me lots of help and information as it was my first tattoo. I will definitely be back thank you for everything team 😄

E.

Booked in for my Ta Moko here at Otautahi with Shaun. Absolutely happy with the service and the final product. Shaun is an absolute master and the level of detail he can achieve in a piece is unbelievable. Thanks so much Shaun and the Otautahi team! 😁

Was a great experience. Team are super nice. My Mum was a walk-in and they managed to fit her in to get a Maori design armband done and I went a day later to get a wristband done with a similar design. The tattooist was awesome. Will definitely go there again for future work.

A. D.

Amazing team amazing artists! Can't thank Baz more for the amazing art he did for me. Look forward to more!

S. H.

So great! Worked with Jayden on a design consult and then the tattoo itself. Really friendly, professional, and welcoming. Most importantly, super clean and beautiful work. This was my second time with these guys and I would confidently recommend them to anyone. Location and smoko area is really pretty too!

P. K.

Good atmosphere, nice people. Only reason it's a 4star is because I didn't get a tattoo, but rather be there for a family member.

A. O.

Exceptional experience at Otautahi today. Amazing artistry and awesome people. I’m in love with my new tattoo. Thanks Tom 😊

A. G.

An absolute shining example of a great business. A beautiful clean and modern studio with a fantastic crew of talented artists. Shaun @rook_rain looked after my sons first Ta Moko and totally smashed it 👌. There was a little confusion that the boss (Brad? - let me know if I got this wrong and I will edit) resolved on the spot like a pro. Much respect and appreciation. Unreservedly recommend Otautahi Tattoo.

I'm in the middle of a 4 day, 3 piece freedraw tattoo. The artist (Baz) is amazing! This place has the best care and service you can wish for. Check out their social media to see the top level quality.

I had a great experience at Otautahi Tattoo- everyone was professional, time efficient and friendly. Price was reasonable and it only took the artist 15mins to complete the tattoo. The artist I had was excellent and the vibes of the place were great- I don't have a tattoo in mind yet but I want to come all the way back here from Wellington just to get my next one done!

M. R.

I’m from the US out here for work (and a little holiday). A very dear friend of mine had just passed away and I wanted to get some work done as a tribute. I walked in and met the manager, Jack at the front counter. I showed him a drawing/design I had come up with and the style I was looking for. He paired me up with Ben who was more than happy to assist. I was on a tight schedule and Ben was able to put my idea to stencil and went over the design and any changes on the spot. Before I knew it I was in the chair. Ben laid down some smooth shading, solid line work, and was a very chill and relaxed dude to work with. It was a perfect piece of work for a very sentimental notion. Great shop with a friendly staff and inviting environment. Highly recommended to get your tattoos work done here!

H.

Got my neck tamako done happy as shot brad ND his team

A.

Massive Thank you to the team for fitting my nephew in while we were up on holiday - at a crazy time of year! Jordan was awesome accommodating us and our Artist Ebony was thee most welcoming, friendly, stunning chick to spend our time with. I have followed the crew for a long time and as an Otuatahi girl at heart living out of town, bringing my nephew home for his piece meant the world. The shop is Fire and the crew are exceptional, so proud to have a part of this team on my family, Thank you so much xx

A. H.

Thanks to Jack and Tom for an awesome experience getting my tattoo yesterday. Friendly and helpful from the moment you walk in the door which made for a relaxing environment, which in a situation that isn't always relaxing was refreshing. Will definitely be back again and would hands down recommend Tom as an artist.

D. S.

Thanks Brad for doing an awesome stingray tattoo on my daughter, took a few hours but what an epic piece. Was great to hang out with you, awesome team you have there

S. A.

Staff was friendly and professional. The location is Central and easy to locate. Very professional and clean. They were able to fit me in as a walk-in and did a fantastic job with the short opening in my schedule. Will recommend to anyone and will be going back during my next visit. Owner Brad really hooked me up and did a sick Maori style half sleeve.

T. L.

The staff were amazing. They showed under standing for what I was going through. Thanks guys.

V. W.

First time in this store. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. Ebony, who tattooed me, is brilliantly talented. I will be back!

J. C.

I am so happy I came to the team at Otautahi tattoo to bring my idea of a native bird and plant sleeve to reality. Otautahi tattoo have a bunch of seriously talented artists each with their own style and specialty. Thanks to my artist Manni it was obvious that you have an eye for detail and you take a lot of pride in your work.These guys will be the first and only place I recommend to get some artwork. Cheers team👍

S. B.

Amazing work done by our artist Tom. My sister and I got a matching lady bug in memory of our mother who passed when we were teenagers. Tom made our experience very special and we'll definitely be back to see him for any further work.Highly recommend for detailed work.

M. T.

My friend had some amazing pieces done by Brad at Otautahi Tattoo in Christchurch and recommended them to me. I met Jack on the front desk and explained what I thought I wanted and some of my concerns and he put my mind at rest and set up an appointment with Shaun. Shaun was brilliant, he quietly listened to me and then created a magnificent design capturing the things I had spoken about. I can't recommend these guys enough and in particular Shaun!

C. L.

Got some nice work done here clean lines fast good people. Keen to go back

C. C.

Making an appointment was super easy! They are quick to reply and really helpful as far as answering any questions via email. Ra was amazing. His designs are beautiful and, besides giving him a location and general shape we were looking for, the rest was all his and I couldn’t be happier with the results! Staff is really nice and a bunch that know how to get along well and help each other out. Super patient and ready to do what they can to give you what you are really wanting. Little pricier then we had expected but worth every penny! Absolutely recommend.

C. S.

Just had my first tattoo done by Ben. Absolutely fantastic job. The level of detail was just extraordinary...and clarity was impeccable... I didnt think this kevel of detail was possible, but Ben pulled it off, no problem at all... He is a very accomplished, dedicated, professional tattooist, whom I very highly recommend.Excellent job Ben, thank you.regards Cliff

A.

The skill by the artists here is absolutely great and the atmosphare makes you want to come back for more

N. O.

The most enjoyable, friendly and magic place to spend a full day - even if you didn't get the most awesome, personal and spectacular tattoos, as we actually did. Back in our home country Denmark after a splendid month in NZ, bringing with us two pieces of beautiful, unique and original Maori art. Thank you so much to Shaun and Raa - and to the rest of these absolutely wonderful people whom we met there. Lisbeth and Jan

J. T.

If you're looking at getting a Tattoo, this is the place. With tons of artists you're bound to find someone to get you exactly what you're after. Kind staff and artists and very professional what's not to like.

E. E.

Jack made us feel like family straight away. Ra did an amazing job on my sister and I last month. We are in love with our tattoos. Totally recommend this place, great atmosphere!

E. O. P.

Great tattoo experience. Jack the manager managed to squeeze both myself and my cousin visiting from Miami at late notice. Thoroughly recommend Manni, great artist. Fun day at Otahutahi tattoo Christchurch.

J. V. N.

Got a very last minute appointment as I was leaving NZ soon. The day when I got tattooed everything was prepared and the staff was really welcoming. The result is great! Thank for your work Ben! :-)

k. k.

So friendly ...so professional. Amazing tattoo artists...highly recommend...my daughter had 4 and I had 1...very happy 😊

A. P.

Very friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere. The quality of the art and work was absolute topp class. If you wanna get a tattoo done. You should definitely do it at this tattoo shop💯⭐

J. A.

Great place, great vibes, and has a banger playlist 🔥 Got a few of my tattoos from a few of their talented artists, highly recommended ✨

M. B.

It's was a nice experience Just when I came to say what I want the guy was super nice but the day of the appointment he forgot to write some details and my appointment were at 3pm but they told me to come back at 5pm. Just be organize cause for travellers is complicated sometimes. But I have an amazing tattoo ^^ and every body are soooooo funny,

E. H.

Came in randomly as a walk in and got the most welcoming service. Aleksandra was very friendly and did such an amazing tattoo and insured I was comfortable throughout the whole time :) Definitely recommend this place!

R. C.

Came here on a Friday for an appointment, and the next Monday got my tattoo done! Really nice tattoo shop and very efficient work! Thanks a lot to Baz who did an awesome work on my calf :)

B. S.

Clean and respectful environment, with amazing artists! I highly recommend Otautahi Tattoo.

C. K.

I enjoyed every moment at this place the wairua from everyone was super funny an chill it felt like you were chilling with family. I was super nervous about getting my tattoo but the guys there were actual cool an encouraging. Thanks so much to Ben for the amazing piece he did for me, I love it ♥️

L. F.

Had been looking for a good tattoo artist for over a year & im so glad i waited. These guys were absolutely amazing and so friendly. Bit pricey but in my eyes 'you get what you pay for' will definitely be going back for me. Cheers guys 😀

L. V.

These guys are legends. I messed up a booking myself (wrong month) they were able to do my dad the next morning and me and my brother a week later. The artists are all fenominal and fun to hang out with. We are tattooed by Shakani, young guy with a great future ahead of him, very talented and very focused and great Ta Moko work. Jack is keeping an eye on everyone and making it one good spot to come for a tattoo.

T.

If you are considering getting a Tattoo in New Zealand then I cannot recommend you a better place. The studios are very hygienic, the artists are extremely skilled and the whanau vibes are a must. They make you feel welcome and right at home during your tediously painful artistic experience. So step right up, give them a call, and book in today🤘🏻 you're welcome ✌🏻

B. M.

Great staff, good service, accepted us on arrival without any prior booking. The tattooist (Buzz) is very thorough, patient, professional and accurate. A bit expensive place, but good overall experience. Thanks alot!

H. A.

Got my first tattoo here. Very good experience and very happy of the result. Good team and nice atmosphere. I highly recommend this place.

M. M.

Highly recommend these guys. Very accommodating and helpful with booking and finalizing design. Ink done by Tom, talented artist and #softesthandsinthesouth. Appreciated his good humour and bants during the session and his focus. Most pleasant tattoo experience to date. If I've ever back in CHCH I will be paying him a visit for more

G. H.

Wish I could rate them higher than 5 stars, great service and banter, all lovely lovely people. Not to mention the tattoo I got from Ebony was beyond amazing, thanks so much team!!!

S. P.

Had a half sleeve done and couldn’t be happier. Great team, great communication, and great atmosphere. Kudos to Brad, knows how to produce some seriously impressive work. Highly recommend.

J.

Great artists and friendly atmosphere.

J. E.

I visited the studio today and got a beautiful tattoo. I wanted a mix of Lineart and a Ta Moko and the result is even better than expected. However, I have to deduct stars from the rating due to the price. I was told it would take 2 to 3 hours and therefore cost $ 400. However, the complete tattoo with design lasted only one hour, for which I think the price is clearly overdrawn. Too bad it was so expensive.

C. H.

Very professional, high precision, lovely lads! All round a great tattoo shop, would highly recommend to anyone looking to get tattooed in Christchurch!

M. D.

Thanks to Jack and the team at Otautahi for making me feel so welcome and to Shaun and Bexi for their awesome collaboration. They both understood implicitly what I wanted and created the most beautiful result, working in an intuitive, perceptive way that felt so natural and easy, with strong professionalism at the core. I loved my two days with you all: tu meke!

S. H.

Got my first tattoo ever done with Raa. Turned out awesome and very friendly staff! Highly recommend!

C. U.

Dope! Raa did some amazing work... truly a pro. I went as a walk in and didnt expect to get inked right away but the guys made it possible. Lil bit on the expensive side but its worth every penny!

Had emailed the shop on a Friday about a potential appointment for two kirituhi tattoos on Sunday since we were only in Christchurch for 2 days - the response was prompt and informative - popped into the shop on Saturday when we arrived from the US, they were able to move some things around to accommodate us and everyone was friendly and welcoming - can’t say enough good things about our experience!

(Translated) Come on a whim, I fell from a very welcoming and professional team that put me at ease for my first tattoo. The atmosphere of the show is at the top as are the advice and talent of the tattoo artists who work there. I recommend if you are on Queenstown! Thanks! Emma :) (Original) Venue sur un coup de tête, je suis tombée de une équipe très accueillante et professionnelle qui m'a mise an l'aise pour mon premier tatouage. L'ambiance du salon est au top tout comme les conseils et le talent des tatoueurs qui y travaillent. Je recommande si vous êtes sur Queenstown! Thanks ! Emma :)
