Calen Paris

Long standing member of Moko Ink Calen is back working alternate months at the blissful and peaceful underground Moko Ink tattoo studio. Mid next year he is planning on visiting Europe in the summer and creating art with Jacqueline in Switzerland, Jeroen Franken in the Netherlands and Heidi Hay in Sweden. Please get in touch with Moko Ink and we will have confirmed times for Calen’s hikoi.

Great news …. Calen Paris (Maiava) is back regularly at Moko Ink and his work is looking amazing - as usual!

As the permanent building is a huge undertaking, it means all appointments over this time have to be well organised and people need to give us as much time to plan ahead as they possibly can. We would also appreciate if people could provide us as much information as possible.

We here at Moko Ink are extremely aware of the lifetime commitment that Tatau-Ta Moko is for all concerned, the giver and the receiver, and therefore, the most important thing for us over the next 6 months is to maintain the quality and integrity to the level this Studio has always aspired.

If somebody is in a hurry for a piece of permanent body art, then we may not be the best place for them, but if someone is willing to give it the same amount of time, patience and priority we do, then all things are possible.

HE TOI WHAKAIRO HE MANA TANGATA…
“Where there is artistic excellence, there is human dignity”.

The only thing to note is that we are still booking quite aways in advance and that receiving a map once you have a confirmed appointment is the only way you will be able to find us…. so please get in touch.

When inquiring about bookings and consultations, be patient as this large work doesn’t happen over night…… and because we only have 2 hands and 1 brain there is a limit to what can be designed and achieved, so therefore we are often booked quite a way in advance………

The most important thing to us is that the kaupapa and quality of what we do is maintained.

If there is apprehension about the time frame it may take to obtain the piece that you’d like, just bare in mind how long you haven’t had this piece and how long it will be around for….. It’s not so much a reflection of how we value you (and we do) its how you value yourself!….

“The time it takes to make an appointment is always short compared to how long you are going to wear it..”

We will attempt to keep the same phone number but will definately be contactable on mokoink@mokoink.com for future appointments..

We’re hoping to have relocated by the start of the New Year, but will keep you all posted…

AFTER 30HOURS OF BUDGET TRAVEL….The Jetlagg Interveiw from hell….

Well, it didn’t happen over night but it did happen. so here we are, mid “happening”

New look for the website, updated news (that will be kept that way from now on) and of course, new pictures and Moko Ink gossip!

We’ve been joined this year by the lovely Jasmin who will be handling all our appointments and such, so when you call us and hear her voice, don’t worry, you have the right number. At the moment her hours are 10am - 2pm so PLEASE make sure, if you’re going to call, make it between those times as we only have two hands (each, not between us) and trying to use them to tattoo and answer a phone is beyond our comprehension. If you do need to get hold of us outside those hours please feel free to email us (mokoink@mokoink.com) and we’ll get back to you asap.

Thanx to all that came to the convention in Amsterdam and the crew at Classic Ink and Mods that gave me the coolest place to work….Love to do it again next year….
