Guchi Nico TattOo

Step into the realm of Guchi Nico Tattoo, a private tattoo experience that mirrors the uniqueness of the North Shore, accessible solely by appointment. Here, Nicole channels the essence of her Okinawan heritage and the ancestral art of "Hajichi" tattooing, dedicating herself to the precision of single-needle and fine-line techniques.

In 2019, Nicole breathed new life into the time-honored, almost forgotten Hajichi tradition, letting her artistry blossom. This personal journey isn't hers alone; it's a shared narrative with every guest and client. Nicole cherishes these connections, seeing each meeting not as chance but as serendipitous intersections of life's vast tapestry, marked indelibly through her tattoos.

Sustainability

At Bungalow Guchi Tattoo, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. My love for the earth inspires me to integrate sustainable practices into the tattoo world, an industry traditionally associated with a high volume of disposable waste. By implementing eco-friendly solutions, I hope to set an example for aspiring artists and encourage them to make Eco Tattooing a fundamental part of their business.

The products we use are at the forefront of the "eco tattooing" movement, featuring materials that are fully compostable within a few months of being buried. Some can even be turned into soil overnight using composting machines like those from the brand "Lomi". Our surface covers, ink caps, razors, Saran Wrap, machine and cord barriers, and gloves are all made from compostable materials.

I am committed to providing these sustainable work materials to the entire team of artists at Bungalow Guchi Tattoo. This ensures that under the Bungalow Guchi name, very little waste truly goes to waste. By leading with action, we aim to inspire other tattoo artists to adopt sustainable practices and join us in our mission to protect and preserve our planet.
