Most people assume this is just two tattoos booked side by side.

It’s not.

We created Linked by Ink because life moves fast — and most people rarely set aside real, uninterrupted time with the people who matter most.

Birthdays get busy.
Date nights get rushed.
Catch-ups get postponed.

So we built something different.

A full shared day inside the studio.
No rushing. No in-between clients. No watching the clock.

Just 6 hours of dedicated studio time.
Up to 3 hours of tattoo time each.
Access to the Creative Corner and a Relaxing Lounge to sit back and enjoy the day instead of squeezing it in between everything else.

Some book it as a date day.
Some with a best friend or sibling.
Some as a reset after a heavy season.

We’re currently reviewing consultations for our first set of shared-day releases.

If it feels like something you and your person would actually value, then submit your consultation through the link below and we’ll guide you from there.

💍 Relationship advise No one asked for:

Marry the one you can be completely yourself with even when that self is slightly unhinged 🤣

Not every day is romantic.
Some days are deep talks.
Some days are quiet support.

And some days…
you realise the person you married is an actual public safety risk 🤣🤣

Tag the one you’re happily doing life with — personalities and all 🤪🫶

Married and divorced in the same day, they reckon. Yeah, Nah - no Kardashian wedding here, cousin! 😅

2 year Anniversary Today 🥳
9 years and many more to come🤩
Zero reality TV contracts. 😂 And Still choosing each other everyday 🥰

Running a business together definitely isn't for the weak. And let's be honest, the last couple of years haven't exactly been gentle on anyone. 📊

Between life, money, stress, and everything happening in the world, a lot of us have had to rethink how to place our chess pieces this year and watching this video back reminded us how fast time moves, and that you've got to celebrate the good while you can 🥰 ⏳

So, we have a Patai Whanau. And don't be shy 😉

If YOU had a full day with your person
No responsibilities, Just the two of you... how are you spending it??

🎶 Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Life’s not about more,
It’s the people by your side,
That you’re truly grateful for.

Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Pause the noise and pace,
Moments matter more than things,
Time can’t be replaced.

Presence over presents,
That’s the cheer we say,
Grateful hearts, open arms,
Carry us through every day.

🤍 From Judge MyInk —
Merry the Everything. Happy the Always.

Be safe. Be grateful. Be present.💝

How Much a Sleeve? - Let Me Break It down like this ⤵️

This Summer : 3hours/Half Day = $100 Deposit + $500 on the Day.
This Summer: 6hours/Full Day = $200 Deposit + $800 on the Day.

Pick Your Poison:
For black and grey realism, expect around **3 to 5 half-day sessions**. Depending on the final design, size, your pain tolerance, how well you sit, and the level of detail you want.

A full Moko sleeve is a completely different journey — they are intentional, structured, and embody deep significance. You’re looking at about **1 to 1.5 full days** for that - Guesstimate.

Now, geometric tattoos? They require a different approach. Patience and snacks are essential, as this style can take weeks. With tiny dots, precise lines, and symmetry from wrist to shoulder, it’s like entering a full-time relationship.

Florals? They’re pretty straightforward — beautiful and clean. Depending on the scale, you might complete a full sleeve in **2 to 3 half-day sessions**. Again, this hinges on the final size and the individual attached to the arm.

(Disclaimer: These guesstimate are based on nearly a decade of experience alongside Judge. Prices and timelines can vary significantly between Design & Concept as well as Artists & studios. Always consult your artist for specific details before starting).

Every sleeve tells a different story.
We honour yours by taking our time.

Start with the consultation.
We’ll walk you through the rest.
