Come for the art. Stay for the healing.
Welcome to my private studio in the countryside—a quiet, grounding space where tattooing becomes more than an appointment.
Here, surrounded by nature and stillness, I offer an immersive experience that allows you to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and honour your journey through ink, rest, and care.
This is not just a place to get tattooed.
It’s a place to arrive—in your body, in your story, and in the moment.
tattoo & Retreat
What the retreat includes
Whether you're traveling from afar or simply wish to make space around your session, the tattoo retreat offers:
A private tattoo session in my home-based studio
A comfortable bedroom and private bathroom in a peaceful rural setting
Homemade, nourishing meals (lunch and dinner) made with love and intention
Time to rest, reflect, and integrate—without rushing back to the world
Space to connect with nature, your body, and the ritual of being marked
The Space
My studio is located in clarks beach, a quiet rural area south of auckland, surrounded by trees, water, open skies, and simplicity.
You’ll have your own private room and bathroom, as well as shared access to a peaceful garden and common areas. The environment is slow, soft, and made to support deep work—both on the skin and within.
Meals are seasonal, and I’m happy to accommodate specific dietary needs when possible. Everything is prepared with love and respect for the body as part of the healing journey.

Who this is for
This offering is especially suited for:
Clients traveling long distances for multi-session or custom pieces
Those who see tattooing as a personal ritual, not just a visual choice
Anyone needing space to slow down, breathe, and be held
People who value connection, presence, and care in the creative process
After the Session
You’ll have time to rest, journal, or simply be still. I’ll provide everything you need for a gentle evening—including herbal tea, aftercare support, and a cozy environment for integration.
If desired, we can also include a short art therapy moment—guided reflection, writing, or simple creative prompts to help deepen your process.
A note from me
This space is something I’ve dreamed of offering for a long time.
Tattooing, for me, has always been more than ink—it’s a ritual of marking, mending, and remembering who we are.
By inviting you into my home and the rhythm of this quiet place, I hope to create not just a beautiful tattoo, but an experience that nourishes your body, heart, and spirit.
Welcome to the retreat.
Welcome to yourself.
