Rarotonga Island. Cook Island. Polynesia. Tattooist. One of the places where we can get a tattoo in the Cook Island is in the Punanga Nui Markets. Clive Nicholas is a talented and gifted tattoo artist like many others who have the natural flair and creativity of Polynesian Art. Clive is of Cook Islands, Samoan, Tahitian and NZ Maori decent which his family acknowledges and is very proud of. Clive was born on the beautiful Island of Rarotonga and raised in the land of the long white clouds of Aotearoa in the mean streets of Otara. Clive was brought back to the islands by his parents at the age of 9 and attended the only Catholic Schools on the island St Joseph’s primary and Nukutere College. Clive has a very strong faith in Christ and only works weekdays and Saturday. Balance is a major factor for Clive. He has to juggle between family, work, sports and family.

After a couple of months as an apprentice for Boye, he acquired the skills and art of tattooing and was thrown into his own space. This is where he began working on his own clients, designing and creating tattoos, of course under the watchful eye of Boye.

It was much harder for Clive especially because he came
