About Us

Heritage Tattoo is a custom tattoo art collective of our great artists.
Spud of Point of View Tattoo, Dave McEwan of DMAC Studio (formally Tattoo Freaky, Lower Hutt), Lucy G of Lucy G Tattoos Tauranga.

We pride ourselves on the creativity, versatility and the experience we bring to tattoo art in Tauranga, Mount Maunganui, the wider Bay of Plenty and New Zealand as a whole.

Heritage Tattoo was opened by us to provide a calm friendly place not only for us to be able to work in our craft, but to provide that chill friendly studio for our clients to be tattooed in and have a bit of fun along the way.

Our studio is situated in a unique little Heritage cottage right across the road from Tauranga Hospital on Cameron Road number 832 to be precise. Our cool little cottage is not the only thing that is different about us as a tattoo studio. We also have FREE parking for our clients, If you are heading in for a tattoo or just a quick consult, our carparks are along the back fence, please don’t park in the carparks at the front near the road.

We offer a unique and personalized tattoo experience for our clients specializing in one off custom tattoo art, although we do accept walk-ins if we have an available artist at the time. On that note, If you are wanting your tattoo done on a specific date and time, it is much better to book your appointment, then it is locked in, and you won’t miss out. (see contact or artist direct contact above).

To get the best from us as artists we need creative freedom to create awesome tattoos and also use our experience to create tattoos that will stand the test of time.

Scam alert!!! Facebook Notice Board Tattoo Scam

It would seem that there is a scammer or two out there on the internet, who’d have thought it, they’re using tattoo queries on Facebook notice boards and groups to hustle money out of unsuspecting folk.

How it works:

When someone’s asks for recommendations for tattoo artist in a particular geographic area the scammer will DM the person saying they are affiliated with a studio in that area then strike up a deal and ask for a deposit to secure the booking, usually they will get an idea of where you are or are from approximately and claim they are affiliated with a studio near you according to the info in your post or from your profile. They will arrange a time and place, likely a bogus address, for a tattoo appointment. Once they have secured a deposit from you, they will block you on messenger and disappear with your hard-earned money.

The most recent attempt brought to our attention was from a notice board in Rarotonga. A profile named Asia Tatt responded to a recommendation query claiming affiliation with us. Fortunately, the poster had the sense to confirm with us as to whether this person was in fact connected to our studio. They are not.

While we have many friends in other studio here and around the globe. We are in no way affiliated with any tattoo artists working under the name Heritage Tattoo NZ outside of our studio here in Tauranga.

Our artists are Lucy G, Spud and Dave.

Anyone else claiming to be affiliated with Heritage is trying to BS you into parting with your money

We don’t direct message from FB notice board posts. We do however respond to direct messages via our contact methods here on our Heritage Tattoo NZ FB page, our individual tattoo and studio Instagram accounts, via direct email or by phone. Any deposits to be paid will be arranged through one of our above channels only or in person at the studio.

The best and most secure way to arrange a custom tattoo is to actually come into the studio and talk to one of our artists in person.

We hope this all make sense

Us three at Heritage, Dave, Lucy and Spud.

Bookings:

To book an appointment it really is better to come into the studio and talk to us. This helps us to get a better understanding of what you are wanting to get done as a tattoo, and determine which artist is best suited to your request. If you are coming from out of town we understand that this can be impractical. If that is the case contact the artist of your choice directly via email or phone beforehand to make arrangements.

A holding deposit is required on bookings. (Unless otherwise agreed).
If you need to reschedule you need to contact the artist you are booked with or the shop at least 48 hours in advance. All deposits are non-refundable. If you don’t show up for your appointment after paying a deposit, your deposit is forfeited.

Sending Pictures:

We often ask that if you have reference photos and or drawings etc to send them through via email. While sending pictures is a great way to help us understand the subject matter and style of tattoo art you are wanting to achieve. We don’t directly copy other people’s tattoos. This is unethical and not to mention a potential breach of international copyright laws. As mentioned above, we are a custom tattoo studio and our desire is to create individual custom tattoos for individual custom clients.
