Let’s bring your story to life on your skin.
Born in New Zealand as a proud heir to a Maori tribe with Maori and Dutch heritage, Tikiroa’s life journey took him from the culinary arts in the Netherlands to the vibrant shores of Koh Phangan, Thailand.
His path, filled with creativity and an unwavering connection to his roots, led him to open Tiki Tattoo studio in 2008. Here, he blends the traditional Maori spirit with the delicate art of Thai Bamboo tattooing, creating personalized masterpieces. Tikiroa’s story isn’t just about tattoos; it’s about holding onto your identity, no matter where life takes you, and expressing it in the most authentic way—through art that speaks of who you are and where you’ve been.
His journey, marked by cultural exploration and artistic dedication, resonates with anyone eager to leave a mark on the world, just as he does with ink on skin.
