TURUMAKINA Consultation and implementation are normally done in one visit. Your booking request is seen as your consultation, so take this as an opportunity to express all of your concepts and requirements and pepeha for the piece. On the day of your appointment itself, Tu will combine his artistic input and cultural knowledge experience of over 29 years to come up with a unique ta moko customised to you. He does this by connecting to your energy and allowing the design flow to occur naturally through you. Hence the design comes from you in more ways than one - it is a reflection of your inner self. To ensure quality artistry and workmanship, Tu asks for full artistic license over his work. Implementation starts after a karakia (Maori prayer) which cleanses the spiritual energies around us physically and in our environment. IFYREFINI Every tattoo is curated uniquely for every client. Her design process involves understanding your concepts/ideas and then transforms your story artistically using concepts of sacred geometry and universal design elements from nature. Please be as specific as you can with the details as a preview of the design is only provided the night before or sometimes the morning of your appointment, which allows for minor changes, if any. The more open minded you are, the better the outcome of your tattoo.

Yes, and cash only.

Although we operate from a home based private studio on the Gold Coast, it is fully licensed, approved by council, health and office of fair trading departments. The set up is professional and yet comfortable therefore your tattoo experience is held in a serene and tranquil environment. The creative and transformative energies of our studio provides a healing space for visitors to connect with their body, mind and spirit, revealing markings etched on skin, which ultimately comes from within. We believe ta moko is a sacred art form, therefore the whole experience is performed in a sacred space.

Besides using sterile equipment and practising safe hygiene, we also use vegan inks and biodegradable disposables supplied by our sister company, Eco Tattoo Supplies. Our studio is solar powered and as the act of tattooing is a sacred ritual, we continually have our sacred space smudged with sage and Maori traditional incantations to bless the space and the energies we are working with.

We suggest a good night’s sleep as well as a hearty meal before your appointment with plenty of water. Please do not consume any alcohol at least 24 hours prior. It would be preferable that the area that is to be tattooed be clean and shaved. Best to bring some snacks and water to keep you sustained during your session. Also, please dont wear white clothing on the day of your appointment :)

We are based in Pimpama, Gold Coast of Australia. As we are a private studio, we will provide the exact address after a booking deposit has been paid.

We strongly advise against getting a tattoo while pregnant or nursing. Any possible risk to the physical and spiritual health of the mother and baby should be avoided.

1) PHYSICAL PREPARATION Besides eating and sleeping well, we suggest doing a "pure" (an ocean cleansing and healing ceremony) prior to your appointment. This could be as simple as taking a dip in Tangaroa with intention and karakia. This is a great way to reset and welcome your new markings. 2) MENTAL PREPARATION AND INTENTION SETTING As important as physical preparation is, the mental cleansing you do in the time before the ceremony is just as important. We suggest you engage in a mindfulness practice (if you havent already) to set a clear intention for your experience. Continuing these mindfulness practices during and after the ceremony will also help you integrate the changes your moko kauae/mataora has revealed for you. 3) INTEGRATION The process of Moko Kauae/Mataora/Puhoro journey doesnt end after receiving it. In fact its a lifelong integration of normalisation and revivalisation. You will most likely be on cloud nine for a few months and dont forget to smile and shine that light! Even when society is staring right back at you. Also seek advice, support and company from other moko kauae/mataora wearers.

Yes, most absolutely! As our private home studio has limited space, we have a limit of 20 support crew only. Feel free to bring the guitars, the singing voices and your taonga to make the space yours. Although, due to the nature and space of our studio, we ask that you share kai elsewhere.

Please note that this is not the only way look after your new tattoo, it is simply the method we recommend. DAILY CARE DURING THE HEALING PROCESS: Have hot showers, the hotter the better Apply anti bacterial pump soap when in shower and pat dry Dry heal it as much as you can, our bodies were made to heal themselves. However if you feel it requires some sort of balm, then apply balm on day 3 after your tattoo Wash hands and apply a thin layer of aftercare cream at least 2-3 times a day (we sell a natural aftercare cream which contains only beeswax and kawakawa, which is a healing native Maori plant and this usually cuts your healing time in half) Do not apply any ointment before getting into bed as doing so will stain your sheets PRECAUTIONS DURING THE HEALING PROCESS: Keep out of the sun Keep out of swimming pools and dirty water Keep covered if working in dusty or dirty areas Do not pick your tattoo when it starts to peel Do not allow others to touch your tattoo Do not scratch your tattoo when it starts to itch
