What is a Custom Tattoo?

A custom tattoo is a one-of-a-kind design created specifically for you, based on your ideas, preferences, and personal stories. Unlike pre-designed or flash tattoos, a custom tattoo is tailored to fit your body’s unique canvas, making it a deeply personal and exclusive piece of art. Our artists at Tiki Tatau work closely with you throughout the design process, from initial consultation to the final inking, to ensure that your tattoo is a perfect expression of your identity and style.

Why Get a Custom Tattoo?

There are many reasons why someone might choose to get a custom tattoo:

  • Personal Expression: A custom tattoo allows you to express your individuality in a way that mass-produced designs cannot. Whether it’s a tribute to a loved one, a symbol of a personal milestone, or an artistic representation of your beliefs, a custom tattoo is uniquely yours.
  • Meaningful Design: Custom tattoos are often imbued with personal significance, making them more than just decorative art. The design can incorporate elements that are meaningful to you, such as cultural symbols, personal achievements, or life philosophies.
  • Unique Artistry: With a custom tattoo, you’re not just getting a piece of body art; you’re getting a masterpiece crafted specifically for you. Our artists at Tiki Tatau draw inspiration from Maori and Polynesian traditions, blending these rich cultural motifs with your ideas to create a tattoo that stands out.
  • Perfect Fit: A custom tattoo is designed to complement the contours and shape of your body, ensuring that the final piece looks natural and aesthetically pleasing.

About The Artist

Tikiora

Tikiroa, born in New Zealand with Maori and Dutch heritage, has transformed his deep cultural roots into a unique art form at Tiki Tattoo in Koh Phangan. Since opening the studio in 2008, he has masterfully blended the warrior spirit of Maori tradition with the precision of Thai Bamboo tattooing, creating art that reflects personal journeys.

For Tikiroa, tattooing is more than ink on skin—it’s a way to honor your identity and share your story with the world.
