Welcome to Judge MyInk Creative Studio
We don't just create tattoos—we craft transformative experiences that honor your story
At Judge MyInk, every piece is designed as an experience — not a transaction. You bring the reason. We shape the story. Then we capture it properly: the ink, the feeling, and the chapter you just closed (or opened).
Born in the heart of Kawerau and soon to rise in Christchurch, Judge MyInk is more than a tattoo studio — it’s a creative sanctuary.
A place where ink meets imagination, and every mark tells a story worth remembering.
Here, art isn’t just worn — it’s lived. Each experience is crafted to reconnect people with themselves, their stories, and each other. Whether it’s a couples’ day of shared ink, a whānau session of legacy tattoos, or a solo transformation, every visit becomes a chapter in a bigger story — one of healing, creativity, and belonging.
From tattoos to transformation — Judge MyInk is where art, connection, and creativity meet.
Black & Grey Tattoo Studio
Custom black & grey realism designed from your story — not from Google. Every tattoo is crafted with intention, guided by meaning, and built for clients who value identity, transformation, and clean, timeless detail.
After-Tattoo Portraits (Included)
Every tattoo has a moment — we capture yours. Every session includes a complimentary mini photoshoot with studio lighting, cinematic tones, and clean black-and-grey composition so you leave with more than ink… you leave with memories
Photoshoots for Identity, Branding & Expression
From portraits to branding, content to creative direction — we craft images that tell your story. For creators, entrepreneurs, couples, siblings, families, and anyone wanting imagery with feeling.
Prints, Keepsakes & Storybooks
Turn your photos or tattoos into something permanent: framed wall art, high-quality prints, custom calendars, personal storybooks, and photo albums. Your journey deserves more than a post — it deserves legacy.
A Creative Studio for the Soul
After nearly two decades of tattooing across Aotearoa, Judge MyInk is evolving. What began as a small-town tattoo studio has grown into a Creative Studio — a space that celebrates expression in all its forms.
Here, the hum of the tattoo machine blends with laughter from the arts corner. The smell of ink meets the scent of fresh coffee. The walls hold stories — of love, loss, courage, and creativity.
This is where people come to reset. To reconnect. To remember who they are beneath the noise.

Every Journey begins with a Choice — Identity, Expression, Connection.
Studio Experiences — Crafted for Connection
The Creative Lounge
While one person’s in the chair, the other’s in the zone — colouring, crafting, designing, or dreaming. The Creative Lounge is filled with adult colouring books, paint-by-numbers, jewellery making, and digital design tools like Procreate on iPad. It’s a space to play, reflect, and reconnect with the inner child — because creativity heals, and connection grows when we make together.
Photoshoots for Identity, Branding & Expression
From portrait photography to comprehensive branding, we develop visual content and creative direction that effectively conveys your narrative. Our expertise serves creators, entrepreneurs, couples, siblings, families, and individuals seeking imagery that evokes emotion.
Photography & Keepsakes
Every experience ends with a guided photoshoot — a celebration of the day, the ink, and the bond shared. High-resolution photos are included, with optional NZ-made print keepsakes available to order. From photo albums to wall art, each keepsake becomes a tangible reminder of the story told in ink.
