Hi, I’m Tereza, a tattoo artist and the proud owner of @bluelagoon.tattoostudio , where I blend my love for art, nature, and positive energy into every piece I create. Born and raised in the Czech Republic, now based in Napier, New Zealand, where I’ve been able to build a space for people to connect, express themselves, and walk away with something meaningful and beautiful on their skin.
Tattoos, for me, aren’t just about ink and skin, they’re about telling stories, sharing energy, and creating something unique for each person who walks through my door. I approach each design with intention, drawing inspiration from nature, folklore, culture and the good vibes that flow through all of us. Whether it’s an intricate, delicate piece or something bold and striking, I pour my heart into every tattoo I create, ensuring it reflects the individual and their journey.
But tattooing is just one part of who I am. I’m also a big lover of all things artistic and creative. Outside of tattooing, you’ll often find me working on different craft projects, embracing my love for art.
I’m a Cacao lover, and it’s something I hold close to my heart. For me, cacao is more than just a delicious treat, it’s a sacred ritual that brings people together and helps us connect with our true selves.
Living a vegan and eco-friendly lifestyle is important to me. Animals hold a special place in my heart and I believe we need to protect them, so I am speaking for those who can’t speak for themselves and I believe in making choices that are kind to the planet and to all living beings. In my tattoo studio, I’ve made sure to incorporate sustainable practices and materials wherever possible. This eco-conscious approach is reflected not only in my work but in how I live my everyday life.
At the core of everything I do is a commitment to positivity, good vibes, and authenticity. My tattoo studio is not just a place to get inked, it’s a space where people can come to be themselves, to explore their creativity, and to leave feeling uplifted and connected. Whether it’s through a tattoo, a cacao circle, or just the energy I bring, I’m here to inspire others to live authentically and with love. ♡

“I had the pleasure of being tattooed by Tereza Maresova. She was both friendly and accommodating, and brought to life a Croatian inspired tattoo that I had wanted for years. Her design was beautiful, with the final product looking stunning. The five hour trip from Auckland was well worth it, and I would highly recommend looking up her work!”

“Absolutely love my custom tattoo piece designed and inked by Tereza Maresova at Blue Lagoon Tattoo studio. It was well worth the trip from Wellington to Napier. I felt privileged to be inked by such a beautiful soul who is an amazing tattooist. The studio is a visual delight. Totally vibed with the atmosphere and all the arts and crafts everywhere. I love how Tereza showcases other local artist work too. Highly recommend Tereza :-)”
