They skillfully blend contemporary and traditional art, creating unique pieces that resonate with each individual.

The studio is run by talented artists such as Stormy Kara, who specializes in Cook Islands Māori tatau, Aotearoa Māori Moko, and Polynesian tattoos. With years of experience, Stormy is passionate about bringing whakapapa (genealogy) and life stories into artworks for the skin.
