CLIENT FEEDBACK

Fantastic tattoo skills all my friends & family love your work, wonderful interpersonal skills too. I was a little nervous but Ike was lovely. Chatting away about designs etc.... he helped me decide what my tattoo was going to look like and best place on my back/ shoulder for it. we were chattering that much I felt so comfortable i forgot that I was being tattoo'd. Shame it was only a pop in visit, I already want to extend the design but unfortunately I'm only here on holiday. Hope to return soon, I'll try give you more notice next time Ike. ? Your a fantastic artist Thank you.

I found Ike Proctor to be friendly and welcoming with information regarding what i was looking for. This made me comfortable enough to book for myself and my best mate so we could get our tattoos. When we met Ike on the day he was lovely. Very professional and i found his studio clean and inviting. Ike was able to take the very limited idea we had for our tattoos and design fabulous creations that we both love and cherish from our trip to New Zealand. His ability to create on the go is amazing and i would recommend him to anybody wan

I had the privilege of having a tribute portrait for my daughter designed and inked by the Talented Ike in Beautiful Rotorua. Not only will you enjoy the finished product of this man but, also the time and effort he will put into turning your idea / creativity into affect. Just know that when you go to Ike, the Quality of Consultation and ink will not leave you dissapointed however, highly impressed, and prideful to be a walking canvas of his works.
