Kakapo Ink Tattoo Studio - Te Aro
About Kakapo Ink Tattoo Studio
We had a customer come in yesterday, to inquire about the healing process of her tattoo that she had done a week ago.
It was definitely in the early stages of infection, which distressed us because we pride ourselves on the standard of our hygiene and cleanliness, operating a fully disposable, single use environment.
Turns out she works in housekeeping at a hostel and did not cover up her fresh piece while performing her work. Stirring up untold number of airborne pathogens, that surround us in our day-to-day lives, it’s not really surprising that something has has taken hold within the newly open wound and started to cause irritation.
When your artist tells you to take care of your tattoo, they mean it! The responsibility for maintaining it once it’s put on your body, falls to you. You MUST clean it carefully every day. Cover it while it’s healing, especially if you work in a job that increases your exposure to pathogens. It doesn’t have to be anything elaborate, just something to keep it out of the sun, wind and air, be it long sleeves or long pants. And make sure any clothing you put against it is clean!
Cheers!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I came in today for a couple additional details to old tattoos as well as custom back piece. From the begining with Kat, Sally and Andre have been AMAZING. I have walked away with finished ink and a beautiful memorial tattoo for my granddad. I cannot recommend this studio enough.
Plus, as a girl who isn't a huge fan of most dogs, I fell in love with the resident dog Mr Pants. He's beautiful!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I cannot speak more highly of Kakapo Ink. My first time, I actually arrived as they were closing, but one of the artists very kindly offered to do my piece anyway. The staff were lovely, knowledgeable, kind and funny. The artist drew up the piece and did an incredible job! It was quick and the detail was immaculate - I am in love with it! Now, I make a point of saving my tattoos for Kakapo and go every time I visit Wellington! Great value for money too!!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Made the process of getting a tattoo feel like a calm, mutually beneficial experience (in the sense that you aren't feeling as if you are in a transactional clinic). Kind people, easy communication and great environment. Don't think I could go to any other studio at this point; talented artists and great vibes make this place unmatched.
