Guesty alert! We are pumped to have the very talented in the studio from the 15th to the 19th of october. They have a few spaces left so to book in email [email protected]. Here’s a bit about them.I’m Brigitta Varga from Hungary and have been tattooing for more than 8 years. My favourite motives are flowers and I like to make the geometric tattoos, mandalas and nonfigurative black shapes. Linework/dotwork/blackwork is my style.

I love animals and I’ve been vegan for 6 years. Like to travel, meet new people and cultures

Fundraising for Lou (Dr.Morse) 28/06/2024

If you've visited us at Dr Morse lately, you may have noticed our amazing shop manager, Lou, getting about with a fabulous sparkly pink cane. Her stunning look belies a more serious underlying health situation. Louise desperately needed back surgery. (Laminectomy)

Louise has Bertolotti's syndrome and herniated disc in L4/5 means that she was currently suffering with chronic pain and unable to carry out regular life/work duties. The good news is, surgery can fix this for her. The bad news is, it costs a bunch and is prohibitively expensive. ( 30k)

We, her buddies at Dr Morse, have got her back (pun intended!). We love her heaps, and want her healthy, pain-free and happy, so we are hoping to help Lou meet the costs of her surgery. We'd love for this to be as successful as possible, and this is how Your Support Can Help:

Your donations will directly contribute to alleviating Louises’s financial strain. With your generosity, we can ensure that they can fully focus on their recovery without the additional worry of medical debts. Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a significant difference and will be deeply appreciated.

We are also going to running a FLASH DAY EVENT some time soon so keep your eyes peeled. Dr Morse will be posting flash available on the day - stay tuned for date/time/. We are looking forward to creating awesome art and doing what we do best, to help our amazing friend in need. Thank you all for your kindness :-)

Love

Dr.Morse Crew x

Use of funds
All proceeds raised will go directly towards her surgery and attendant costs. This includes cost of the Anaesthetist, Surgeon, Theatre recovery and accomodation at Southern Cross Hospital.

Our Story

Dr Morse Tattoo Studio is Simon Morse's adventure. Simon is described on the net as a ‘comic book genius’. He is a New Zealand artist better known in the USA and Japan than he is in New Zealand. A Google search for him will introduce you to the vast international otherworld of the adult comic book.
In more recent years, Simon has been directing his magic into the world of tattoo. He has a massive following and a flick through his portfolio will show you why. His custom art draws people from all over New Zealand. The studio itself is something else. The art, figurines & studio decor sum up Simon's artistic personality perfectly.


Nursey was originally Simon's apprentice and inspired by his art and geekery. Nursey has a similar artistic style to Simon. Her art has been described as "anthropomorphic with a splash of gore".

Cam Elgar has been at the studio since 2012. Cam specialises mainly in Black & Grey. His Art has been described as "Beautifully bad ass, subtly macabre with amazing attention to detail".


Jolene has beautiful art work coupled with an undeniable brooding dark force encompasses portrait realism, mayhem and general debauchery.
