Tattoo convention: Wellington tattoo convention 2025

This year I will be back to the Wellington tattoo convention, which will be this July 4th - 7th. Like last year, I will be offering walk ups, plus at least three spots for medium to large tattoos.

It will be first come first served of course, and payments available include stripe (card), PayPal, cash and bank transfer. Consults for set pieces prior to the convention will be essential - including zoom consultations.

Hoping for a good turn out and see everyone there soon!

Flash day at Blackleaf tattoo 2025

First month working at Blackleaf tattoo included a Flash day! We had two weeks to prepare including the flash we wanted to offer. Most of my flash were both unique and new, offering coloured Neo traditional pieces at cheap prices.

We were there from 9am, and it was a fantastic turn out! I got to meet a lot of new local faces and even booked a few larger pieces with enthusiastic clients. So many people are interested in the wellness and self sustainable journey and it’s such an experience finding out more about each person!

Emma was nice enough to take a photo with me on the day - such a sweetheart ❤️

We finished the day at 7pm - it was a great day and I’m already super excited for the next one!

Moved to Queenstown

After three years of working in Christchurch, I was ready to say goodbye to Otautahi tattoo and venture out on my own. I am so grateful for everything I learned at OT, Brad gave me a chance and I hit the ground running. He and the crew have always been so supportive in my growth not only in tattooing but as a person as well. I can’t even start to express my gratitude and they will forever be my tattoo family.

Queenstown has always been my home. I was born in the heart of Queenstown and raised on the property my family settled on in 1911. From a young age my brother and I were always taught to cherish what we had, and growing up I had always seen and wanted to share the beauty I saw around me - which of course led me to a love of art.

I had the opportunity to guest spot a couple of times previously at Blackleaf Tattoo in Country Lane, Frankton. It is a sweet, quiet little place that is very private, and yet still surrounded by bustling small businesses - most of which dabble in artistic products or classes.

I am happy to announce that I will be working at Blackleaf tattoo from March 2025! Feel free to message me or even pop in for a chat 10am-4pm (most days).
