Elbow Tattoo's by Manawa Tapu

Tristan Marler, also known as Manawa Tapu, has carved a name for himself as an intricate and detailed Ta Moko and Blackwork tattoo artist in Auckland.

Tristan is of Te Rarawa descent, from the Hokianga in the far North. He is trained in Whakairo Rakau (traditional wood carving), graduating from Te Puia National School of Carving. He has been blending his knowledge of carving and Maori art over to the art of Tattooing.

Tristan specializes in Ta Moko, Blackwork, pattern work, geometric and dot-work tattoo styles.
