The work
Drawn for you.
Realism, cover-ups, blackwork and Maori are what the artists here work in most. Most of it is custom: you bring the idea, the artist draws it for your body and tells you honestly what will and won't sit well.

How a piece happens
- 01
Tell us the idea
What you want, any references, rough size, colour or black and grey — and a photo if it's a cover-up.
- 02
We draw it
The artist designs your piece. How soon you see it depends on how busy they are.
- 03
You sit
One sitting for most things. Larger work runs over several, and we tell you which before you commit.
- 04
It's yours
We're upstairs every day until midnight — come back up if anything worries you while it heals.
