PHOENIX TATTOOS NELSON

CUSTOM TATTOOING IN NELSON, NEW ZEALAND

Phoenix Tattoos is a custom tattoo studio at 63 Tahunanui Drive, Nelson.

From small individual pieces through to larger custom work, I design tattoos around the person rather than relying on generic flash. My work includes black and grey, Norse and Viking-inspired designs, dark fantasy, biomechanical work, New Zealand-inspired tattoos and completely original custom pieces.

FREE TATTOO CONSULTATIONS.

ABOUT SCOTT / ABOUT PHOENIX TATTOOS

Art has been a major part of my life for as long as I can remember. I taught myself to tattoo at 18 and opened my own shop around 25. In 2006 I taught myself airbrushing, and since then I’ve created hundreds of paintings across cardboard, canvas, steel, cars, helmets and even a prosthetic leg.

My work naturally leans alien, mechanical and dark—even when that isn’t the intention. I love commissions, portraits and taking something familiar and pushing it somewhere unexpected. Digital work has given me another way to explore colour, texture and detail without losing that distinctive Phoenix Tattoos style.

Have a rough idea, an old drawing or no idea where to start? Get in touch. Consultations are free and we can shape it together.
