History

Established in 2009.

Tuigamala Andy Tauafiafi has always had a great love of art in many forms and specifically printmaking which was the medium in which he gained his Bachelor in Fine Arts. Being a tattoo collector Andy made a connection with the Master Steve MaChing of Western Tattoo and was encouraged to start tattooing. After a few years of practicing from home Steve took Andy in and mentored him. In 2009 Andy branched off Taupou Tatau was established. We made the move from Auckland to Wellington and started to work our way from a converted room to a studio in Wellington City where Killa Kutz Barbershop was born. We built our name for the first 3 years then decided we needed more space. We were lucky to find our current location in the James Smith Corner building in the center of town. We started of with 1 tattooists and a dream and now we have 5 tattoo artists and 2 barbers, a name that is know world wide, tattooing awards, works that have been published and there's much more to come!
