Finding Inspiration in Every Turn
Welcome, I am a female tattoo artist located in Manurewa, Auckland, New Zealand.
Hi, I’m To-Shy, A tattoo artist with a passion for turning skin into storytelling. As a female tattooist, I bring a creative and compassionate touch to every design, blending technical precision with emotional depth. I specialize in fine line, illustrative, blackwork culture designs , and I love working closely with clients to create custom pieces that feel personal and empowering. For me, tattooing is more than ink—it's about expression, confidence, and connection in a safe, welcoming space
My Story
I’m a self-taught tattoo artist and proud mother of four, and my journey into tattooing has been anything but ordinary. What started as a creative outlet quickly grew into a deep passion—a way for me to express myself, find balance in motherhood, and eventually build a career on my own terms.
With no formal training, I dedicated countless hours to learning, practicing, and refining my craft while raising my kids. Every piece I create carries not just artistic intention, but the grit and resilience it took to get here. I specialize in culture designs, fine line, blackwork, custom symbolic designs, with a focus on personal, meaningful tattoos that empower and tell stories.
My studio is a space for authenticity, comfort, and connection—because I know how important it is to feel seen and heard, especially when trusting someone with your skin. Whether you're coming in for your first tattoo or your fiftieth, I’m here to make it a meaningful experience from start to finish.
​
I’m a passionate tattoo artist with a love for translating personal stories into bold, meaningful ink. As a female tattooist, I bring a detail-oriented, empathetic approach to every piece I create—whether it's fine line, traditional, or custom designs. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where clients feel heard and empowered, and leave with art they’re proud to wear.”
