ATB Tattoo Studio is based in the bustling little town of Sunny Otaki. Halfway between Wellington and Palmerston North. Our team is made up of five talented tattoo artists. We are dedicated to providing our clients with high quality tattoos and great conversation. We love to tell stories and we look forward to helping you tell your story through our art.
Introducing
Our Artists
Mikey Hurman
Mikey has been a bit arty farty since he was a kid. He did his first tattoo at the age of 17 on some random chick at a house party and all these years later, he’s built a career out of it. Mikey now has vast experience in a variety of different mediums which all translate in his tattoos. He’s never held a job for longer than two years (until now) and he enjoys long walks through the forest with his family and the dog Toby.
Shane Bishop
Shane’s work has a life of its own as he continues to develop his style everyday. He is very easy to communicate with and will always go above and beyond to produce a solid, well thought out tattoo. He has a keen interest in gothic art and enjoys re-telling old folk lore stories in his drawings.
John Monsta
John is adept at all styles of tattooing and has been tattooing since 1995. Large scale Japanese style tattooing is a specialty. All styles catered for: Americana, black work, biomechanical and neo-trad, custom tattoos and expert cover ups.
Amy Hurman
Amy is a trained professional in the art of Microblading, Powder brows and Ombre brows. After fifteen years in the beauty therapy industry and managing salons around the world, she still feels grateful to be able to change the lives of many beautiful women everyday.
Kyle Bishop
Kyle is the newest edition to the ATB crew. He earned a bachelor of design in illustration in 2015. Kyle started his apprenticeship in tattooing here at ATB Tattoo Studio in 2021 and his work is progressing in leaps and bounds. He is happy to take on any style of tattoo and is currently offering his work at a discounted (apprentice) rate.

We will usually design your tattoo the night before your tattoo appointment. We find working this way helps with the creative process and allows us to focus all our effort on achieving the highest quality work on a day to day basis.
Any changes to the design can be made on the day of the tattoo. These changes might include adding or removing elements or adjusting the image slightly so it flows better with the shape of your body.
