My love for art began when I could hold a pen! I was always the kid who was happy with some paper and pencils. Fast forward to now, not much has changed! My tattoo journey began in 2018 and I completed an apprenticeship under Memory Lane in Whangarei. Three years later I opened my own studio in Dargaville, River ink. In 2023 we welcomed our beautiful baby boy into the world. Growing our little family & owning my own business is so rewarding getting to do what I love and make my clients happy!
HIGHLY!! Reccomend Shonzeye to anyone and everyone, she is so good to work with she’s patient with all my picky changes and really makes sure your happy with your piece before you start. Super stoked with my now 3 tattoos from her. Can’t wait for my 4th. 😁
Shontelle's work is beautiful, she's friendly & communicates well to make sure you're on the same page before she starts (and during too). If you want a piece of beautiful art on your skin, you'll be in good hands with Shontelle.
Shontelle is an amazing artist! Her attention to detail is incredible, and she was very patient with my design alterations! Her studio has a good environment and I felt comfortable the moment I walked in! I would highly recommend her and her work, and will definitely be back for more pieces! I can not recommend her enough! Thank you so much Shontelle for my beautiful tattoo 😍

Getting a tattoo can be daunting for some, but trust in me when I say that my studio is a safe space and you will never feel pressured into something you don’t want. I’m always open to any changes and all I want is for you to be happy and feel good about yourself.
Please fill out the booking request form. Add in detail what you’d like to get, approximate size in cm, placement, and reference photos. Please allow up to 14 days for a reply. If the booking request form is not fully completed I may not reply.
All appointments will require a $100 minimum non refundable deposit. This can be paid via bank transfer or cash if you come into the studio for a consultation. Deposits must be paid once tattoo booking is made.
If you cancel or reschedule your booking within 48hrs of your appointment you will lose your deposit.
My minimum is $120. With this price you’d expect something smaller, you can also get a couple of of smaller ones at once with this price (this is recommended)
After this, my prices are determined on the size, detail and placement. I will send a rough quote though once I’ve received a booking request.
The day session rate is $1000, this is a 10am start and 5pm finish.
Because of the amount of designs I have to do I send it through 1-2 days before the booking. Changes are more than welcome but if you choose to change the whole design this can result in a reschedule. If you wish to make numerous changes this can result in an extra fee.
Comfort is key! Wear something that is easy to access the location you’re getting tattooed.. dark clothes are also a safe option
I’d recommend 2 weeks of no swimming, baths, spas and saunas. Showering is completely fine!
