Say to say it’s been an absolute week here on Cross Street (and throughout the rest of the world). First and foremost, we would like to extend our gratitude to all of our wonderful clients out there for all of your support and understanding throughout this week. All of us in Auckland (and the rest of New Zealand) have been in a weird state of limbo wondering what’s going to happen with the Covid-19 crisis.
Luckily, we have been able to operate as per usual at the studio as a result of our extra stringent hygiene and cleaning measures, as well as the incredible cooperation from our clients, both walk ins and pre-bookings alike. Although we are a hugely social studio, our requests for clients to come in alone to appointments has been awesome. This is helping us keep our clients, artists and staff members socially distanced. So again, thank you so much! We are really hoping to be able to stay open and tattooing in our lovely central Auckland studio, and the only way we can do this is to do our bit to help “flatten the curve” as our Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has been talking about.
From next week, we are limiting our interactions even more to a one-on-one interaction only between clients and artists. We have a huge studio space, so are spreading our artists out so there is plenty of space between each artists station. Some of our artists are also working alternative hours to help keep numbers as low as possible. If you have a booking, please keep an eye on your inbox and phone for any correspondence directly from our artists if they need to reschedule your appointment by a few hours.
Now onto the fun stuff! Apparently all the chaos in the world is a way for our artists to do some super cool tattoos! Here are a few of our favourites from the last week or so.
Cyboar by Bernard Kwok!
Bernard Kwok did this insane custom cyborg wild boar for the lovely Kevin. Our artists love the trust their clients put in them - it’s the best way to get a great tattoo. Put your faith in them and they’ll deliver the goods!
That colour is mind blowing! Contact us to make your wildest dreams come true with Bernard.
Golden dragon by Lucky Felix.
Another fabulous custom piece from last week, this time by Lucky Felix. Thanks for the fun request, Heather! When Heather asked for a golden dragon from Lucky Felix we couldn’t wait to see the result. Felix’s recent colour palette is so gorgeous, we’re loving the warmer, earthy tones he’s been using recently. Felix is wonderful at accentuating the area of the body he is tattooing, so if you’re after a piece to flow beautifully with your natural shape look no further than Lucky Felix!
Speed skull by Milky!
Another heater by our favourite milk man, Milky! For no-nonsense, bright and bold American traditional tattoos that will last a lifetime Milk is your boy. From absolute classic flash, to his own out the gate ideas from his brilliant mind you wont regret getting a Milky tattoo. Have we mentioned the hilarious banter!? For enquiries, get in touch!
For all tattoo bookings, requests, and further information about anything to do with the studio over the next few weeks please don’t hesitate to drop us a line. Our studio hours are Tuesday to Saturday 10am - 6pm, we’re here to answer any questions :) Look after yourselves, we look forward to seeing you soon!
