Chris was working in the tattoo industry at Stained Skin for many years before he was inspired to open up his own studio in the suburb he grew up in, Avondale. Auckland. New Zealand.
After a holiday in Bali with his brother Marcus in 2014, they both decided on a business together. Marcus would provide his militant business sense to Chris’s artistic creativity.
The two brothers bring different perspectives to bear on a common mission.
The mission: to create a space where tattoo creative art is valued, creative excellence is pursued, where clients and community are impacted in a positive way.
Being the sons of a local presbyterian minister the biblical story of Cain & Abel is one that both brothers can relate to on many different levels. The story of Cain & Abel describes how Cain was marked (or tattooed) by God after killing his brother Abel.
As a tattoo studio we want to impact our clients and customers with every artwork we create, we also want to ensure we are having a positive effect on our wider Avondale Community.
