Capilli Tupou

Capilli Tupou is an artist specialising in old school traditional style tattooing. As a New Zealander of Maori (Te Rarawa) and American Samoan heritage, Capilli brings his own unique Polynesian slant to the style.

Seeking a career change where he could use his creative abilities, Capilli began tattooing in 2008 and found himself a place with Two Hands Tattoo.

In 2011, Capilli took up an opportunity to join Sacred Tattoo​.

Although he’s a relative new comer to the industry, Capilli’s work has been admired both within New Zealand and abroad.
