“Nick Noonan is by far one of NZ’s best artists. His communication, professionalism, artistic skill and not to mention just a good bugger!

I would recommend without any hesitation that Magna Tattoo Studio is the best in the country! Being heavily tattooed, Magna is by far the best experience I have ever had.”

“Ricky was very professional yet relaxed.

He listened to me throughout my 2 consults, directed me where needed but understood the importance & meaning of my piece.

Listened to any concerns I had and in turn I had no problems in trusting his artistic guidance.

Hygiene was of the utmost importance as was my comfort throughout the 2 full day sessions. My tattoo healed within 2 weeks without any issues.

I would highly recommend Ricky & Magna Tattoo. A great team 😊”

“Great studio, great artists. Flew to Christchurch for this booking, and it was well worth it.

Ben Clark was professional throughout, from ideas consult to tattooing and aftercare advice. Amazing art, can't recommend highly enough, whether you live in Christchurch or elsewhere in Aotearoa.”

“Well what can I say, what an amazing experience by an amazing artist. Nick thank you for the amazing art work you have given me. Your skill level and professionalism was second to none.

If you are after an amazing bit of art I’d highly recommend Nick.”

“Nick is easily one of the best tattoo artists in NZ.

This along with his quirky banter made the tattoo an awesome experience.

Nick is NZ's go to guy for realism and Japanese. I'll be back...”

“Nick Noonan is a master of his craft. Throughout the process of getting my leg sleeve at Magna, Nick was always welcoming and friendly. He listened to what it was I wanted, was honest about what would and wouldn't work, and explained what he was doing when I asked. Most of all, Nick proved just how talented and skilled of an artist he is. After spending a total of 15 days

I cannot recommend Magna and all of the team there any higher. The end result far exceeds anything I could wish for and I'm forever thankful that I went to Nick/Magna.

Much love, Jaden.”

“Got work done by Ricky, it completely exceeded my expectations! He took what we spoke about during our consultation, and created something amazing!

Magna is a fantastic studio, Nick has done a great job foster an environment you feel comfortable in! Awesome lord of the rings statues in the space!”

“Highly recommend the awesome Team at Magna, thanks to you all. A very professional and clean environment. Ben, your attention to detail is truly top class. Thanks for the Kea, stoked.”

“Not long had a back piece done by Nick, and to say it’s amazing is an understatement. A fantastic cover up and an awesome dragon.

If you’re thinking of getting some ink done I’d definitely recommend going to see Nick and the crew at Magna Studio, great set up, artists and the best vibe. Cheers Nick and team!”

“I had a full arm sleeve done by Nick. Over 6 x 2 day sessions, each being very long days. Through out the whole time spent on the sleeve, Nick was very professional and dedicated to the work.

His eye for detail and natural flare for design, character, colour and proficiency with the needle was exceptional. Great studio atmosphere, easy to get along with and overall sweet experience.”

“Got a tattoo at Magna from Ricky. Amazing communication from the studio, they relayed my idea perfectly to my artist. Awesome studio just outside of Christchurch, very close to a couple of cool cafés for your break between the session. Studio is very clean, tidy and inviting.

Ricky was awesome. Gave him 2 things I wanted and let him do his thing and it's surpassed my expectations, so thrilled with the result. Overall I'll definitely be back for my next 1 ... or 2.”

“Nick is a consummate professional who works fast and efficiently. His skill and ability to translate an idea on paper to a fully formed tattoo is incredible. The entire process from booking, to communication of the tattoo concept, to the actual tattooing session was very easy and stress-free. The equipment and sanitary practices in the studio are also top tier, and the vibe of the studio is quite relaxing and comfortable.

Would not hesitate to go back to Magna Studios for a tattoo.”

“An amazing studio where you are made to feel very welcome.

From Ainsley with the booking and first contact in store to the incredible talent of Nick.

Can’t recommend enough!”

“Super lovely and professional tattoo artists, Ben was extremely patient and made me feel comfortable (as comfortable as you can possibly be whilst getting tattooed!)

He did an amazing job, really happy with his work :)”

“If your tattoo has meaning to you, you want it to portray a feeling or a memory. Magna Tattoo will do you right.

Professional, welcoming, quality, honestly words don't do this place justice. The care and the way they approached my tattoo made the whole experience a memorable and comforting experience.

I love the art and cherish the time spent there. Thanks for making the time to listen to what I wanted and then nailed it. Magna Tattoo is a destination. Make the trip.”

“Nick the tattooist, counsellor, book of knowledge and comedian…I had the privilege of Nick tattooing me for over 90hrs, two full sleeves now and am absolutely proud of them.

I was very fortunate that Nick was happy to go over some existing work to match his incredible art on both arms. Somebody you can genuinely trust to be 120% on the hygiene side and also deliver on what you are seeking to have tattooed on you.

It’s there for life right. I am personally going to be going back for more tattoos.”

“Easily the best tattoo studio in Christchurch. Tucked away in a nice wee corner just out of the city, the space is clean and well designed.

Nick is not only among the world's elite at tattooing but all round great guy. 5 stars isn’t enough!”

“I have had the pleasure of having a full sleeve done by Nick. I can't say enough about this studio. I have been to a number of studios around Christchurch and hands down this is the most inviting comfortable place I have ever spent my time being stabbed.

Nicks work is second to none, the work he does is simply beautiful and it's a real honor to be able to proudly display his work on my body. He is super easy to spend long days with which makes the experience that much more enjoyable. I will definitely be back and strongly suggest anyone else wanting some work from any of the artists here to contact them. You won't be disappointed.”

“I have had four full days with Nick, working on my full sleeve and chest. This has been a first for me and I cannot over state how professional Nick and his team have been throughout. The studio is awesome, hygienic and in a great location. Nick is a great guy who put me at ease from the start, coordinating my ideas into a work of body art that is truely special to me. I have thoroughly enjoyed the whole process and am very much looking forward to my next full day in a couple of weeks.”
