Marcelo Machado de Farias
Experience the Essence of Tattoo Art
Marcelo is fueled by a deep desire to eternalize stories, messages, and tributes on the skin. For Marcelo, tattoos are not just body art, they are meaningful ways to preserve personal histories and emotions and he has been doing so since 2017. His passion for storytelling through art has been a part of his life since childhood, with drawing being one of his earliest creative outlets.
Marcelo's tattoo style is centered around Black Work and Full Color designs. His technical precision and unique approach to these styles make his tattoos truly stand out. In addition to his work as a tattoo artist, Marcelo has also made a mark in the piercing industry, where he has won multiple awards for his skill and expertise. This recognition in piercing speaks to his overall versatility and dedication to body art in all its forms.
Outside of tattooing, Marcelo has a variety of creative interests. If he weren't a tattoo artist, he could envision himself working as a journalist, musician, or writer fields that also allow him to express his creativity and passion for storytelling and showcase his artistic side. However, tattooing remains his primary focus, and he continues to refine his craft, creating meaningful, lasting artwork one tattoo at a time.

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!
