About Us
Connection, Culture, Community.
Brother Tip Tattoo & Art is a proudly Māori owned and operated studio, founded by father and daughter duo John Tipene and Atawhai Tipene of Ngā Puhi from Whirinaki Hokianga.
More than a tattoo studio, Brother Tip was created as a place where artists and clients come together to build genuine connections. A place to belong. A place to call home.
