FAQ
Good to Know
Do I need a booking?
For custom work, yes. Flash tattoos are walk-in friendly, but booking guarantees your spot.
How much will my tattoo cost?
It depends on size, detail, and placement. Come in for a free consult and we'll give you an honest quote.
Is the studio clean?
Hospital-grade sterilisation. Single-use needles. Autoclave on site. We take hygiene seriously — ask for a studio tour anytime.
Do you do tā moko?
Rua creates contemporary pieces inspired by tā moko traditions. Culturally significant work is treated with the respect it deserves — always a conversation first.
