Steve Waugh Tattoo
My name is Steve Waugh, and I have been tattooing professionally since 1990.
I opened Ballistic Tattoo with Shawn Oliver in 1997. Over the years it has become one of the longest operating and most widely know studios in New Zealand
​
With over 28 years of experience in the industry, you are guaranteed to receive quality tattooing in a clean, friendly and professional environment. I am always happy to work with an individual to bring their ideas to life and leave them with a tattoo they will love and treasure.
​
From concept planning and design, right through to the finished piece, I am comfortable with all styles of tattooing. Whether you're after traditional, black & grey, colour work, portraits, pacifica tribal or anything in between, I have both the skill and passion to ensure you will be completely happy with your new tattoo...

New Tattoo Care
~ Ice pack ~
Ice pack your new tattoo if you can for at lest 10 -15 mins. as soon as possible.
This will minimize swelling, bruising, and cool down the skin.
~ Airing ~
Once you've finished with the ice pack, leave your new tattoo exposed to the air for around an hour. This will allow any small spots of blood to dry out.
​
~ Wash ~
After the tattoo has had time to settle and dry, give it a very gentle wash with warm water and a soft clean cloth. (do not use soap at this stage) This will remove any dry blood from the surface of the tattoo.
​
~ Don't Pick ~
After 3-4 days the tattoo will dry and start to lose a layer of dry flaky skin and surface ink. Do not pick or scratch the loose skin as this can pull the ink out of your tattoo.
​
~ Moisturize ~
I recommend the use of a mild skin moisturizer, Vaseline intensive care, nothing else...
This will help the flaky skin come off .
​
Use the moisturizer after 3 days with just a very light covering, to much will make the tattoo stay damp. (Apply once a day for 2 weeks)
​
~ Keep Dry ~
While your tattoo is drying out and flaking keep it as dry as you can .So just a quick rinse in the shower and no swimming or baths
The tattoo should be all flaked in about 10 to 12 days .then you can return to normal.
~ Sun Screen ~
Use a good sun screen on your tattoo over summer if you cant cover it .the suns uv can fade the inks.
