Bold, Expressive & Watercolour Tattoo Styles
At Starlight Tattoo in Auckland, I create colour tattoos that blend meaning, magic, and artistry. From vivid realism to soft watercolour flow, each piece is a personal journey in ink.

Realistic Virgin Mary portrait — spiritual iconography in smooth colour gradients

Petals whisper of soft fleeting beauty

Tui bird in feathered tones — the tui sings secrets into the wind

The story of a star inked in colour and light

Where whispers gather

Fantails perched among tea tree blossoms — native New Zealand bird tattoo in rich colour

A poetic fusion of elegance and blooming resilience

Tulips and forget-me-nots entwined — botanical composition in flowing colour

A full Japanese sleeve woven with myth and motion

A bunch of forget-me-nots bloom softly across the skin

A marlin bursts through watercolour currents

Transformation mid-flight — detailed colour tattoo from Auckland

New Zealand native birds — nature-inspired composition in shaded colour

A timeless symbol of passion, beauty, and the fire that blooms within

Full sleeve space tattoo — galaxies, planets, and cosmic elements in radiant ink

Galaxies spiral and stars ignite in this cosmic sleeve

Outer space scene in tattoo form — artistic fusion of light and colour on skin

Wildflowers bloom freely across the thigh — celebrating untamed beauty and inner bloom

A quiet symphony of elegance, fragility, and timeless feminine grace

Octopus in a flowing watercolor style — fluid movement and vibrant composition

Painterly flowers — colour-drenched blooms in watercolour work

Treble clef surrounded by flowing tones — music meets watercolour art in ink
