Brief background info on the featured Otautahi artists.
I have a graffitti art background and have always been very artistic as long as i can remember. I specialise in Maori art (kirituhi) and love to do pacific island work as well. I have great respect for tattoo and all its genres.
I have been drawing for as long as I can remember. My background is in painting, design and graphic arts. My favourite ares of tattoo to work with are new school, oriental and photo realism. I am passionate about my work, capable of photo realistic results and excecute all of my tattoos with meticulous attention to detail. I strive to achieve a unique custom tattoo solution with all my clients that they will be proud of for life.
Hi guys,
My names Frazer; It is my role and responsibility at Otautahi Tattoo to provide you with the right information to help you make the right choices when it comes to getting your custom designed tattoo. It sits upmost in my mind that tattoos are "forever" and i pride myself on my ability to work with you "the client" to achieving the desired result "personal happiness" with your new body art and I enjoy watching every client leave with a smile and a quality custom designed piece of art.
I have been drawing and painting since I was old enough to hold a pencil or paintbrush. I really enjoy tattooing, full stop. Nothing pleases me more than seeing an overwhelmed client leave the shop especially knowing I have made them feel that way. I am very fluent in all main genres of tattoo but am extremely passionate about “bio-mechanical”, “Celtic” and larger pieces that allow me to use my own artistic abilities therefore creating master pieces with intense meticulous detail. I’m proud to be available to the public to share my skill.
My background is sign writing and airbrush work it has really helped with my passion for Ta moko which is what i specialise in, and have been doing for over 20 years. Going from part time to full time I now have the pleasure and honour of working with a great bunch of guys here at Otautahi.
Nau mai haere Mai

I have spent the last 12 years learning about the art of Maori wood carving; A few years ago i started doing Ta Moko using my knowledge and incorporating my skill from Whakairo (wood Carving) applying the designs and history onto the skin. It is with great pleasure that i join the experienced team at Otautahi to further my career as a Ta Moko artist.
