Nimrod "Rod" Pareja
Experience the Essence of Tattoo Art
Rod's passion for art has been a constant throughout his life. Growing up, Rod was captivated by the vibrant world of anime, with iconic shows like *Dragon Ball Z*, *Naruto*, and *One Piece* sparking his imagination and shaping his artistic vision. His love for animation and storytelling naturally led him to pursue formal studies in art at the highest level, where he honed his skills in a wide range of disciplines, from drawing and painting to digital art and animation.
These experiences laid the foundation for his seamless transition into the world of tattooing in 2019. Rod's style is a fusion of multiple influences, blending realism, Japanese tattoo art, neotraditional elements, fine lines, and floral designs. Whether creating detailed, lifelike portraits, intricate Japanese motifs, or delicate line work, Rod brings a unique artistic touch to every tattoo he creates. Outside of tattooing, Rod is passionate about travel and the tourism industry, and he envisions himself working in that field if he were not a tattoo artist.
However, his love for creating art on skin continues to be his primary focus, and he's dedicated to perfecting his craft with each new project. Rod's diverse artistic background and drive for self-expression makes him stand out in the tattoo community.

Absolutely love my second tattoo done by Inky! Thank you so much

I came here to get a piece that tells the story of my holiday and travels through New Zealand and Inkee did such an amazing job and was so chill. Next time I'm in the country I'll be coming back here to add to the piece.
Sam and Zane at the tattoo shop were incredibly welcoming and skilled! Zane's detailed work on my Jesus, Lion of Judah tattoo was astonishing. Great conversation, music, and aftercare made my first tattoo experience perfect. Highly recommend!
The staff were all very friendly. Me, my husband and daughter wanted tattoos & luckily we were able to get in. I'd highly recommend the Christchurch location.
The service was excellent, and I could even get a free manicure while waiting. The prices are also reasonable. I will recommend this place to my friends. Thanks to the tattoo artist Inkee and the manicurist Grace.

The Christchurch branch tattooed a replica of my back scar onto my wrist 18 months ago. They fit me in within the hour! The tattoo hasn't faded and is still perfectly visible. I'm very happy with their work.
Huzan booked me in quickly, and Sam did an amazing job tattooing my butterfly! It's beautiful and I'm absolutely stoked. Highly recommend them for a great tattoo experience!
I love the cat tattoo designed by the tattoo artist Inkee. After getting the tattoo, I could even get a free manicure. Amazing！
I had a great experience at the studio. Tom is an amazing artist and I’m just in love with my tattoo!If you’re in the area definitely check out the studio!
Visiting NZ was amazing, so we wanted a permanent souvenir. Zealand Tattoo's fast, professional response to our email impressed us. The artist took our ideas and, with some creative freedom, delivered a tattoo even better than we imagined!
My experience at Zealand Tattoo was superb! Email support was excellent, and Inkee was amazing. He quickly created a freehand Polynesian design, incorporating all my ideas. The tattoo, done in just 1.5 hours, exceeded my expectations!
