Harman was very reassuring and professional when I recently got my first tattoo.

I recently had the experience to design and get a tattoo done by Harman! Absolutely stoked with the detail and quality of art work with nice sharp fine lines making the tattoo so realistic and stand out! Harman definitely takes a lot of pride in his work and that’s something you want to know when choosing your tattoo artist to go with! He also was kind enough to offer to get me anything I needed to be comfortable for my 8-9hr tattoo session. I will look forward to seeing you again for my next tattoo

Rob is an amazing artist with the cultural and historical knowledge and personality to know what kind of tattoo fits a person. He'll do that stupid shark tattoo you want but he'll even make it look goooood. I've spent about 9 hours as his canvas so far and I would highly recommend him for someone looking for a powerful, meaningful tattoo.

Very very pleased with the piercing I had done. Rob defiantly knew what he was doing and explained everything I wanted to know clearly. I got a very warm welcome when walking into the shop. The whole place was very clean and all tools were sterilised and disposed of as I would expect. Even the after care has been great, answering my questions and suggesting different options etc. I would highly recommend Living Arts. Thanks guys

Super happy with my tattoo ! I was seen by Rob who i believe is the owner. His humor calmed the nerves and he was so quick that it was over before i knew it. Thanks Living Art !

Got a quick tattoo here this morning of my baby’s birth date and the service was great right from the beginning. Tattooist was straight forward where he was able to give me a quote through fb messenger before I made an appointment which I found really helpful. The actual tattoo was quick and turned out amazing! He was friendly and easy to get along with too :) enjoyed my experience here

I cannot begin to thank Alvi enough she was so incredibly talented and was able to create an amazing piece of art that I will treasure forever Thank you thank you thank xx

I visited Rob to see if he could cover a drunken mistake I got done In my teens. I've seen other tattooists who all said no they can't help. My partner mentioned him and he said yes he could help. I've waited 8 years to finally cover it up and he done an amazing job I'm so wrapped and pleased I absolutely love my new Dragon tattoo I'm so proud to wear it. His name is Whero. I will definitely be back to get more. I'm a very happy customer the price was fair his studio clean and tidy he made me feel comfortable and relaxed with a movie to watch. Thank you so much Rob I love my Dragon so much...

Great and friendly staff. Had the pleasure of Alvi designing and giving me my tattoo. More than happy I must say!

Would highly recommend Rob, very professional and helped with infected Helix piercings due to Keen On piercing in Henderson. He has pierced afew areas now and will be back for more hopefully soon, Thankyou so much!

Got my first tattoo by Rob and I couldn’t be anymore happy with the end result. If you want an experienced artist that’s willing to listen and get the tattoo down to the T. This is the place to go!

Thank you soooo much Alvina, I am absolutely in love with this tattoo thank you for your dedication and making me feel so at ease but most of all, I appreciate the fact that you actually took your time to make it perfect just for me :) Can't recommend this young lady enough!! For someone who hasn't been in this industry for long, she has achieved alot and Her work just keeps getting better and better I honestly think she is going places, so y'all should keep a lookout for this one!!

Rob was so wonderful with helping us create and get our first tattoos (including adapting to our ever-changing designs). We were nervous but he was able to instantly create a calming atmosphere so even my sister with a fear of needles managed to go through with getting her tattoo done. Would definitely recommend his service to anyone - he's professional, friendly and super talented. Thanks so much!

Rob is an amazing tattoo artist, he fixed my tattoo which made me more confident!! Thank you Rob!

I explained to him what I wanted and the design surpassed my expectations. Absolutely love my tattoo. Thank you very much and will definitely be back. Very friendly, clean and professional. 10/10

My art style would be best described as Fineline illustrative with subtle hints of surrealism. And floral tattoo is also one of my favourite.
