From humble beginnings just a few years ago, Sunset has grown into one of Auckland’s most thriving and respected tattoo studios.
Tom McMillan opened Sunset with his wife, well known NZ artist, Misery only 3 short years ago, and now Sunset has taken on more artists on a permanent basis, along with special guests popping in from time to time.
