Ren is a Ta Moko (Māori) tattoo artist descending from Ngāti Kahungunu, Te Aupōuri, and Ngāi Tahu. He completed a Bachelor of Arts at Manukau Institute of Technology and brings both cultural knowledge and technical skill to his craft.
Ren specialises in Ta Moko and Polynesian tattooing, blending deep cultural meaning with a strong sense of visual storytelling. He’s also known for his unique approach to realism, often incorporating Ta Moko patterns into detailed, striking designs.
In addition to large-scale cultural work, Ren is one of our most in-demand fine line artists — highly regarded for his ability to create small or large intricate tattoos with precision and care.
