Bula si'a fam! 🙏🏽

Taumada, na yacaqu o Maciu Davidson Liga.. Na Yavusa o Namedro, Mataqali o Nakalou, iTokatoka o Takarivatu. Na 'oro o Nabutubutu, Nadogo, Macuata kei Nacula, Saqani, Ca'audrove.

I've been tattooing for 15 years, and am based in Wynnum, Brisbane, Australia, at Pacifink Tattoo Studio, and have been since 2014. and have been involved in the practice and learning of our artforms for around 18 years, over half my life.

Ena gauna oqo, I have a mission to spread as much iTaukei art as I possibly can through samuqawe, cakacakaniliga (prints, canvases, journaling, occasionally clothing, skateboards etc.), and also attempting to inspire as many to find our intrinsic self through art and poetry, regardless of whether we consider ourselves artists/writers or not.

To address the common questions regarding cost / time. In regards to prices, every piece differs from person to person, as it all comes down to the individual variables (this includes the size of the area on the body, the recipient's pain tolerance, the end design elements - ie. the use of colour, or if there's script included etc.). Our full day rate for 8 hours is $1500, and our hourly rate is $200 for anything that doesn't take the full day, which is very standard pricing in most shops in cities within Australia.

All depending on the individual's variables:
- Sleeves can take at least 3 days, sometimes up to 4.
- Full back coverage pieces might need anywhere between 4 to as much as 6 days.
- Full coverage leg pieces from hip to ankle can be anywhere from 4 to 6 days.
- A forearm wrap from wrist to elbow usually takes one full day, but could need more depending on the variables.
- An upper arm full wrap from should to elbow is usually two days.
- A calf piece is usually a full day.
- A lower leg wrap is usually two full days.

Hope this helps with some of the questions being asked via the DM's lately.
