OUR TEAM
Matt
Hi, I'm Matt, I've been tattooing for over thirty years in N.Z and Australia, I enjoy a lot of artistic freedom at this stage of my career and only take on certain pieces, I've been focusing on larger scale Black and Grey work for quite a few years now. Currently my books are closed. I also enjoy helping people into the industry, as it can be a hard environment to get a start in. If you are wanting to get a start in the industry or are an artist looking for work, reach out.
Harry
Harry has six years tattoo experience and is a fantastic illustrator. Competent in most styles especially fine line illustrative pieces Harry is looking forward to doing larger scale pieces and dabbling in realism in the future at Soular.
Welcome to the team Harry!

Hi I'm Karl, I'm an artist of fifteen years, I've worked with some great artists over that time in Australia and New Zealand. My style is anything solid and clean, although I do dig "Traditional tattoos" but I can work with any style competently. Check out my portfolio and get in touch!

I've been working in the trade for just about 30 years now .
I have worked in NZ and Australia and done a bit of travelling over the years .
I enjoy all styles of tattoo and like to try to remain versatile ,
Although I do have a soft spot for Japanese work after traveling there, and lately I have been doing some blackout work which I enjoy also.
