Art + Body Creative Studio
About the Business
Welcome to Art Body Creative Studio, located at 229A Maunganui Road in Mount Maunganui, New Zealand. As an art gallery, establishment, hair care, health, and point of interest, we offer a unique blend of creative services and products.
At Art Body Creative Studio, we believe that art has the power to connect us to the wisdom of our ancestors. Through practices such as Tā Moko, Tā Tatau, Fine Line, Custom Maori, Body Suits, and Ornamental art, we aim to bring the mana and mauri of our ancestors into our personal spiritual selves.
Our institution is a collective of professional, talented artists and designers who specialize in Commissioned Art, Maori Art, Design, Ta Moko, Tattoo & Piercing expertise. We not only exhibit and sell unique art but also offer our services for those seeking custom designs and authentic cultural experiences.
Ta Moko is a specialist practice that belongs to the ancestors and caretakers of Maori cultural knowledge. It is a sacred art form that was endangered for a long time, being outlawed in 1907 and only tentatively revived in the 1980s. Today, Ta Moko is experiencing a resurgence as an artistic expression among Maori.
We urge you to resist imitation and support the integrity and wellbeing of Ta Moko and Maori futures. By appreciating and valuing genuine Ta Moko traditions, you contribute to its rightful place in our society.
Our studio offers a wide range of artistic styles and techniques, including Custom Maori, Body Suits, American Traditional, Blackwork, Illustrative, Neo-Traditional, Black and Grey, Colour, Traditional, Realism, Fineline, Mandala, Dot Work, Lettering, Caricature, Graffiti, and Ornamental art.
We are open from Monday to Sunday, between 10.00am and 6.00pm. Additionally, we have a dedicated barber site page where you can find our barber hours and services. For your convenience, we also offer Fresha online booking, allowing you to easily schedule your appointments.
Visit Art Body Creative Studio and immerse yourself in the rich cultural heritage of Maori art and design. Experience the power and beauty of Ta Moko while supporting the preservation and appreciation of this sacred tradition.

Reviews
"Amazing and relaxing atmosphere. Joe was an amazing Tā Moko artist, very respectful and laid back. Definitely going back to add more to my Tā Moko, highly recommend."
"I can't say enough great things about this place. We walked in (three of us) without an appointment while on vacation. Somehow they were able to accommodate all of us. The shop itself was clean an inviting. Everyone we met was kind and helpful. All of the artists we saw there were incredibly talented. We were helped by Joe and he was amazing in every way. This visit was honestly one of my favorite experiences in a two week vacation filled with incredible days. I will cherish this tattoo forever."
"Lucas is amazingly gentle and skilled, gave me and my sister a tattoo each today. Incredible quality and so kind, all the staff here are awesome! Made us very comfortable and confident in their cleanliness and professionalism."
"Fantastic tattoo parlour, clean, welcoming and was very reasonably priced. Stabby is amazing!!! My son's first tattoo, though needing to finish it off next week but Stabby did an incredibly classy job! We will continue to come back here for more ink!"
"We were very lucky to have this place recommended to us. My husband wanted to replace his wedding ring (which was irritating his skin) with a tattoo of my name around his finger. After being told these sort of tattoos don't work, we found someone here willing to do it. Shannon is a very talented artist and so good at what she does, and she did a great job with his tattoo. She offered to take take a look at it a few weeks later to make sure it didn't need any touch-up (it didn't). Now, many months later, the tattoo still looks perfect. We highly recommend this place for both its staff and for creating a comfortable atmosphere."
