About us

Kia ora and welcome to the art of Dean Tepu

Mostly known for his contemporary Tā moko displayed on many people from Aotearoa, Australia and beyond.

Deans mahi (work) speaks for itself, from crisp clean lines to display your whakapapa proudly, to the smokey deep mist of his greyscale realism pieces that allow you to express the inner you.

Now offering a relaxed private environment away from the hustle and bustle of big commercial studios, a space to let the wairua speak and markings to be etched on skin.

He tōnga kē tā te kōkā, he tōngā kē tā te kauri.
