Morena whānau ⛅️
Late last year we shared that our little whānau would be moving 🚛
As life sometimes does, our plans changed and the move was put on hold while we worked through a few things. Now that everything has fallen into place, it’s time to let everyone know that the move is officially happening 📆
Our final day tattooing from our Kawerau studio will be Sunday, 2 August 2026.
After nearly 20 years of tattooing, and close to 10 years full-time here in Kawerau, it’s time for the next chapter for our whānau 🌄
Over the coming days we’ll share more about what this next chapter looks like, how tattoo bookings will work moving forward, and what you can expect from Judge MyInk ✨
One thing we do want to make clear today is Judge MyInk isn’t stopping We’re relocating. 🗺️
We’ll still be tattooing, although things will look a little different as we settle into a new way of working. Our trading hours will change, we’ll be working from a new location, and we’ll share those details once everything is confirmed over the coming weeks. 🤹
For our current clients, voucher holders and anyone with an unfinished project—please don’t worry ✍️
Your bookings, vouchers and ongoing projects remain important to us. We’ll continue working with you, and once our new studio is ready we’ll contact you with everything you need to know, including our new location and how your future appointments will work.👌
We also have a small amount of project availability remaining before we finish here in Kawerau If you’ve been thinking about getting a larger piece, continuing an existing project, or getting some ink before we leave, send us a message with your idea, placement and approximate size. If it suits the time we have left, we’d love to fit you in before we head off.😁
To every single person who has walked through our studio doors over the years, trusted us with your stories, supported our small business, shared a laugh, or worn our artwork with pride—ngā mihi tino nui ki a koutou katoa.🙌
Your support has meant more than you’ll probably ever know🥰
Judge MyInk has never just been about tattoos. It’s always been about the people, the stories, and the trust you’ve placed in us. We feel incredibly privileged to have been part of so many meaningful moments in people’s lives, and we don’t take that trust for granted 👨🎨
We’re deeply grateful for the support our Kawerau and surrounding communities has shown us over the years, and we hope you’ll continue to follow our journey as we begin this next chapter 🫶
We’ll have plenty more to share over the coming days, but for now we simply wanted you to hear the news from us first 🥳
From our whānau to yours, thank you for being part of the Judge MyInk story. 💜
