In 2019 the compendium listed Pifa O'Connor (+689 87 72 76 33, pifaexcursion@gmail.com), tattooist and guide for Hiva Oa and Tahuata tours, at a 'Gallery and Tattoo Parlor' open daily 7 am to 7 pm (directions: off the main street, turn right at the administration building, green building on the left), which also rented cars. OpenStreetMap shows 'Kaha Patutiki Tattoo' at that spot beside the Centre Administratif. Treat the match as likely but unconfirmed, and verify locally. The 2026 brief lists 'local crafts and tattoo artists' in Atuona.
