Kia ora everyone,

I am now 1 week post-op. I will be messaging all clients on the 25th of June (6 weeks post-op) to confirm whether I am fully recovered and able to return to longer tattoo sessions safely.

I’m doing my best to recover properly resting when needed while still working toward getting back to creating your dream skin as soon as I can.

I truly appreciate your patience, support, and understanding during this time, and I hope to see you all again soon.

Ngā mihi nui,
Dez

Kia ora whānau,

Unfortunately our anniversary afternoon tea has been cancelled.

I’m still doing my absolute best to recover, and need a little more time to rest.

Thank you for your understanding - I hope you all have an amazing week!

‼️ URGENT ‼️

Kia ora whānau,

Due to ongoing health challenges, I will be temporarily closing the studio. This means no new appointments will be available until further notice.

If you already have a booking or your appointment has been postponed, please rest assured your non-refundable deposit will remain valid. I’ll contact each of you personally once I’m able to return to work and can safely reschedule your tattoo session.

I truly appreciate everyone’s patience, kindness, and understanding during this time. At present, I’m unable to sit, stand, or walk comfortably, all of which are essential to safely carry out consults and tattooing.

I’ll also update you soon regarding our 1st Year Anniversary Afternoon Tea, including whether it will be postponed again or cancelled.

Thank you all for your continued support and aroha. I’m focused on recovery and hopeful to be back creating with you all as soon as possible.

Ngā mihi nui,
Dez
