GET TO KNOW US.

CAIN is a custom tattoo studio based in Avondale, Auckland.
Established in 2015, the studio has built its reputation on experience, consistency, and high-quality tattoo work designed to last.

We specialise in custom tattooing, with a focus on realism, fine line, and dark illustrative styles. Every piece is approached individually — designed in consultation, refined properly, and tattooed with long-term results in mind. We do not rush tattoos, and we do not compromise on quality.

All work at CAIN is carried out by experienced artists only. This allows us to maintain a high standard across all work and ensures that every client receives the attention and care their tattoo deserves.

Our Approach

We believe a good tattoo starts well before the needle touches the skin.

Our process begins with an enquiry and consultation, where ideas, placement, scale, and style are discussed in detail. From there, designs are developed to suit the individual — not pulled from a catalogue or rushed through for volume.

Tattooing is a permanent decision. Our role is to guide that process with honesty, experience, and professional judgement.

The Studio

CAIN is a clean, professional, and private studio environment designed to make clients feel comfortable and confident throughout the process. We work by appointment and enquiry to ensure each booking is handled properly and without unnecessary pressure.

We welcome clients who value quality, communication, and considered work. If you are looking for a tattoo done properly — with care, experience, and attention to detail — you are in the right place.

Booking & Enquiries

All tattoos are booked by enquiry. This allows us to match the right artist to the right project and give each piece the time it requires.

If you’re ready to start the process, we invite you to get in touch and discuss your idea.
