Alba was super kind and really helped me with products that matched my symptoms. All of her herbal products work so well and have been a huge help!

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Albatross at Jungle Ink Tattoo on a full sleeve cover-up, themed around New Zealand wildlife and iconography. From the very first session, she created a warm and relaxing atmosphere, with chilled music and humourous conversation that immediately put me at ease. I was immensely impressed by her aesthetic sensibility and skillful composition. She worked beautifully with the natural muscular architecture and anatomy of my arm, creating a harmonious flow that feels both artistic and meaningful. The finished sleeve is not only a stunning piece of art but also a powerful representation of my identity. Albatross is highly professional, maintains exceptional hygienic practices, and also offers her own range of aftercare products, which are excellent. Overall, my experience was incredibly positive. I highly recommend Albatross and Jungle Ink Tattoo to anyone seeking meaningful, creative, and masterfully executed tattoo work. Thank you Albatross!

ABOUT THE ARTIST ~ ALBATROSS

Tatu is my Kungfu!  Here's my story.

Both my parents were artists, my mother a portrait artist and my father a traditional Maori carver. Art was all around me all the time. Being of Tuhoe decent many members of my family wore full facial 'Mataora' it was pretty underground at the time as the colonial conditioning of the time was actively working (as it is today) to stamp out our culture and its arts. 

Tattoo is one of the ways we communicate our lineage and historical connections to each other and align with the elements. I don't have any tattoos myself but I do carry my ancestral markings with pride and defiance. 

The art of Tatau for me is a service to community and a role I inherited from my ancestors that trace back thousands of years ago on its journey to Aotearoa. It's a role I grew into and like my markings, earnt over decades. Although its roots are ancient I share my gift through its modern representation and application. 

Coverup tattoos are an important part of what I do. Removing the damage and trauma caused by botched tattoos and more importantly restoring self esteem and confidence in my client. Replacing trauma of the past with a positive uplifting experience locked into place through healing ink.

Other times it's just really cool to bring a clients vision to life for them. 

I don't really focus on myself as the hero in the story, for me, it's all about my client. They're the Hero it's their life, it's their journey, their story they will carry into eternity. I'm just the facilitator, the Ferry man you pay to get you from this place to the next in your life changing transformation through Tattoo.
