About me – Your Auckland Tattoo Artist

Welcome! I’m a tattoo artist based in Auckland, New Zealand, specializing in Japanese tattooing (Irezumi) and Traditional tattoos. My focus is on creating bold, meaningful designs, from large-scale tattoos like sleeves and back pieces to intricate custom tattoos tailored to your vision.

At the Auckland tattoo studio, I also offer black and grey, fineline, and lettering tattoos, ensuring high-quality artistry across different styles. If you're searching for the best tattoo artist in Auckland for your next piece, I’d love to bring your ideas to life.

I offer free consultations for large-scale tattoos to ensure we design something truly unique. Let’s create something legendary.

Celebrating All Styles

While I specialise in Japanese tattooing and American Traditional tattoos, my goal is to create something you truly love. Whether you're looking for black and grey, fineline, lettering, or custom tattoos, I’m here to bring your vision to life. Bring your references, and let’s craft something unique together.

Your Vision, Your Tattoo

Tattoos are personal, and I believe in collaboration—designing meaningful artwork that reflects your personality, passions, and aspirations. Whether it’s a large-scale tattoo like a sleeve or back piece or something more subtle, every piece is tailored to you.

Enduring Art, Timeless Quality

Tattoos are more than just ink on skin; they are lasting pieces of art. My commitment is to create designs that you’ll cherish for a lifetime—crafted with precision, depth, and meaning.

A Welcoming Space for Everyone

Beyond tattooing, I strive to build a community of tattoo enthusiasts. Whether you're a seasoned collector or getting your first tattoo, you’re always welcome here. Let’s create something legendary together.

    I have had many tattoos done by a few different artists but my experience with Lance was one of the best. He made me feel very comfortable with his friendly, calm nature.

    The original flash was a skunk & I requested to have it changed to a cute squirrel which he did with no questions asked. He was fast, has great attention to detail & the placement is perfect.

    My first tattoo by Lance I wear proudly on my thigh & I’m definitely booking in to get more work done by him. — Louise O'Brien

    I asked Lance to draw a portrait of myself and my dog and he absolutely nailed it. I'm thrilled with my new tattoo! The colours & positioning are great. It healed within a week and I found he was really gentle while tattooing. I felt in safe hands. — Manda Clarke

    Thanks to Lance, for the positive experience, and doing an amazing job on a fine line design. I'm stoked with it, and have had/still getting soo many compliments for the quality of his fine line skill from all levels of canvas'd bodies. As a walk in with a design ready to go he accepted the job, and executed it perfectly. Probably guna be a returning customer.
    Thanks again Lance. — ariel hantom
