Since I was traveling from NYC to AKL, I booked my appointment a few weeks in advance through email, and attached an image of what I wanted. Fabian drew the design the day of, and the actual tattoo took about 20 minutes. I can't recall exactly-it was painful, but it was over quickly! I'm happy with my pohutukawa, which will always remind me of the lovely times I've had in NZ.

My husband and I both had a great experience at Chapter Two. There was a tattoo my husband had…read morewanted for a very long time. We were on vacation in New Zealand and it seemed like the right time. We visited a couple of tattoo studios and Adrian at Chapter Two sat down with us and took the time to talk about the tattoo, the significance and to show us a sketch of what he imagined. He was so kind and fun to talk to, and a great tattoo artist. After seeing my husband's tattoo, I decided I wanted one as a souvenir as well. Adrian and I chatted about ideas and I ended up with a native flower that had held significance to my husband and I throughout our trip. Overall an excellent experience. Wish it were not so far from us! We would definitely go back.

Staff was responsive to numerous email questions and the consultation was very comfortable. The shop is much bigger than you'd expect and even cleaner and more professional than you would hope. I thought the piece we agreed on would take most of the booking time. Hama finished working in less than an hour. Fastest, cleanest, quickest healing tattoo I've gotten (and I have a few). Highly recommend this shop, all the artists I saw were great, but Hama is something special. So grateful.

I booked my tattoo a month or so in advance to make sure I could see Rob. I read his previous Yelp!…read morereview and then did my homework and went to his page...where he has tons of amazing reviews. (Yelp! has not really taken off in NZ yet but I'm going to do my best to change that while I'm here!) So, I wanted a simple, kiwi bird outline tattoo. I sent Rob the pic of exactly what I wanted and he did exactly what I asked for. He didn't complain at all that I did not challenge his tattooing skills. He did encourage me to do more detail and we agreed this would be an excuse for me to return. (My husband is also getting a much more complicated tattoo and will be doing his own review.) Rob is friendly, welcoming and down to earth. He probably wouldn't want me to publicize this but he's also a softy, at heart. He's a good dude but a professional. He has all the right aspects of a tattoo professional: He's clean. He's dedicated. He takes his work seriously but he's got jokes and a quick wit. I realize some of these qualities aren't important for some but I think it's what adds, to the experience of a tattoo, whether it's complicated or simple. Rob put me completely at ease. If you're in the area, or even if you're not, come see Rob. I wanted to add one last thing, we didn't have any cash on us and went to purchase a couple of things from the bakery and after I took a drink, realized the bakery does not accept our card from the U.S. Rob walked to the bakery and paid them to save us a trip to the ATM. What a cool dude. Love the shop and loved the experience. Things to know: Don't call the shop and ask how much for a tattoo. A tattoo is and should be, a piece of art. Just like art, you get what you pay for. Email the shop with what you want, size and ideas of artwork and Rob will work with you. Deposits are a normal part of any quality shop. You want someone's time, you have to pay for the time slot. So, know the code.

The worst piercing experience I've ever had. I was new to getting piercings at time hence I wasn't…read moreaware of the piercer's poor practice and unprofessionalism. The piercer attempted to sterilise the jewellery with alcohol wipes and not an autoclave. He gave me an industrial piercing when my ear anatomy isn't suitable for it. He pierced with 2 captive ball rings and not until 6 months later when I tried fitting an industrial bar in, the alignment was completely off. I forcefully fitted an industrial bar in and the pain was excruciating after an hour that I had to take it off. I had decided to let the piercing heal and close off as they were positioned in unattractive places to began with. I do not recommend this place at all. I've had piercings done at both Ballistic Tattoo (navel) and Streetwise Piercing (tragus) and both places did a good job.
