A collaboration of indigenous artists infusing ancient knowledge & spiritual wisdom into sacred skin markings
IFYREFINI
MALAY / BALINESE / FILIPINO
Mandalas, Geometric, Ornamental
“My art form focuses on sacred geometry, which is the architecture of the universe and its sacred creation. My aim is to portray my artwork as a visual connector to the consciousness we are all a part of, reminding us that we are all cosmic diagrams of limitless potentials.”
Tattooing since 2013
TURUMAKINA
TUHOE / NGATI AWA / NGAITERANGI
Ta Moko & Maori Art
“My art form is heavily based around Maori ancient knowledge and derives from a centered space of consciousness and spiritual wisdom. For me, moko is the journey of self-discovery, a symbol of spirit, mana, whakapapa and most of all, life force.”
Tattooing since 1993
THE TEAM
Operating from our solar powered studio on the Gold Coast of Australia, we have adopted a holistic & spiritual way of life with our children and our work. The creative and transformative energies of our studio provides a healing space for visitors to connect with their body, mind and spirit, revealing markings etched on skin, which ultimately comes from within.
Besides being an eco conscious tattoo couple, we also use these sacred skin markings as a tool for healing of the body, mind and spirit. The patterns we use are essentially a reflection of your inner self. We simply are the channel that reveal the inner workings of your temple.
