Dean is my artist :p He's amazing but you probably won't get a booking with him, he's just left Illicit but he's booked solid till around june. Adam is the owner of Illicit, he's also great but heavily booked. If you wanna get in with him I'd call NOW, even then your not guaranteed to get a booking. If you choose the lowly option of me :p I'm also almost fully booked through Jan though. There are tattooist's in coromandel/ tauranga (it's about a two hour drive from auckland i think) but I wouldn't let them near me with crayons :p good luck ^_^

hehe thanks :D I would appreciate it hugely and I apoliguise to your card.

thabiz, What kind of style are you after? I know alot of artists down here and I might be able to recommend someone with a less hefty waiting list for a particular style. I asked a customer how far the trip from coromanel to auckland was, he said it's a good 2 1/2- 3 hours by car.
