BOLD, BRIGHT & CLEAN

I'm a tattoo artist based in Winterthur, Switzerland, working in a private studio environment. I specialize in custom tattoo design with a focus on bold, clean, and long-lasting visual language – Bold, Bright & Clean.


I’ve been tattooing for over 25 years.
Along my journey, I’ve worked at studios such as Heaven and Hell Limburg, Skin Deep Art St.Gallen, Soulmarks Tattoo & Piercing Zug, and Freibeuter Tattoo Winterthur. 
Throughout my career, I’ve also expanded my artistic perspective and expierence through guest spots in the United States. 

​

Today, I work exclusively by appointment from my private studio in Winterthur.
No walk-ins, no shop floor – just a calm, focused environment dedicated entirely to your individual project.

COSTOM TATTOO WORK IN WINTERTHUR
My work is centered around custom tattoo design – every piece is created individually for the client.

​

I take my time with every idea and guide you through a thoughtful process from concept to finished tattoo. Together, we develop a design that fits your body, your story, and your vision.

​

Tattooing is both craft and illustration.

I was trained in traditional drawing and illustration – with pencil and paper first, later digitally – always with the same focus on composition, precision, and artistic depth.

For larger projects like sleeves or backpieces, I often draw directly on the body to achieve better flow and to integrate existing tattoos naturally.

TATTOO PROCESS

My process is structured, personal, and focused on quality:

​

  1. Inquiry – you send me your idea

  2. Consultation – we discuss style, placement, and scope

  3. Design phase – I create your custom artwork

  4. Tattoo session – done in a calm, private studio setting

  5. Aftercare support – guidance through the healing process

​​

Comfort during the session is part of the process: pain management, breaks, and a relaxed atmosphere with snacks and drinks are always included.

​

ILLUSTRATION & DESIGN SERVICES

Beyond tattooing, I offer custom illustration and design collaborations for brands, musicians, and creative projects, including:

​

  • T-shirt designs and apparel graphics 

  • Album cover artwork 

  • Labels and packaging design

  • Brand identiy visuals
