TomTom
Expert Japanese Tattoo & Irezumi Artist in Auckland
With well over 20 years of experience working in respected tattoo studios around the world and throughout New Zealand, Tom McMillan, also known as TomTom, is a specialist Japanese tattoo and Irezumi artist based in Auckland. His style is the result of years of study and dedication to Japanese tattooing, with clients travelling from around New Zealand to Sunset Tattoo for his work. Tom is the founder and owner of Sunset Tattoo, established in 2014 and now recognised as one of New Zealand’s leading Japanese tattoo studios. He oversees the studio’s team of artists while focusing his own work on large-scale custom irezumi, and travels regularly to Japan to study the art form directly. He finds that the timelessness and dark beauty of the Japanese traditional approach to tattooing means he can ensure that his clients will have a truly elegant and strong tattoo that will hold up technically and stylistically for life. He loves doing both large scale work and smaller “one shot” pieces.
