OUR STORY
Welcome to Forever Art Tattoo, Palmerston North’s hub for artistic expression through ink. Established in 1995 by Sid Holland, our studio has evolved from a visionary’s dream into a legacy of creativity, championed by a lineage of passionate artists. Sid’s grandson, Aidan Holland, took the reins in 2012, infusing the studio with new energy until 2017, when Dylan Holland joined, enriching our artistic diversity. Mo came aboard as an apprentice in 2018, and together with Dylan, assumed leadership in 2020, steering Forever Art Tattoo towards a future that respects its rich past.
Nestled in the heart of Palmerston North, Forever Art Tattoo is more than a studio; it’s a community where individual stories are woven into a tapestry of ink. Every tattoo here is a unique narrative, crafted with precision by our team, who specialize in a range of styles from traditional to avant-garde. Our goal is to ensure that every client’s vision is not just met, but transcended, leaving them with a piece that is distinctly their own.
Forever Art Tattoo is a testament to the power of art, history, and individuality. It’s a place where past and future converge, creating timeless expressions of self. Join us in our ongoing journey of artistic exploration and expression.
