It’s with a bittersweet mix of heavy hearts and big excitement that we announce… Arcana is relocating to the city!!! 🤜🤛
Arcana has always been more than just a tattoo studio. It’s been a safe, homely space filled with good yarns, meaningful connections, and a whole bunch of rad humans. Honestly, you guys are the reason we’ve been here this long.
After calling Lyttelton home for over 10 years, it feels like the right time for a new chapter.
We’re returning to the city — and teaming up with the crew at .list_tattoo on Lincoln Road. It felt like a natural fit, bringing together two shops that share the same values, energy, and love for what we do.
Together, we’ve been flat out renovating to blend the best of Arcana Tattoo Craft and B.List Tattoo into one space — creating a powerhouse street shop in Christchurch with over 100 years of combined tattooing experience. We’ve made sure to bring some Arcana touches with us too… and plants. Lots of plants 🤣🌿
Same us, same energy — just a new location.
Our priority is still what it’s always been high quality, expert tattooing, a warm and inviting vibe, and of course the same top-tier banter you know and love 😎
We’ll also offer a cozy private space upstairs from the main studio, plus sensory-controllable sessions, SMP offerings, and more... stay tuned.
To all our beautiful clients, thank you so much for your patience, understanding, and ongoing support. You’re such a huge part of this next chapter, and we’re so excited to keep growing with you.
And to our Lyttelton community , thank you. 14 years of support is something we’ll never, ever take lightly 🤍
To our clients: nothing changes where it matters. We’ve still got you!
You can still send all tattoo inquiries through our Instagram, or come see us in person at B.List Tattoo, 255 Lincoln Road, Addington.
New space. Same us.
— Arcana ✨
