ALEX

Tattooer

Alex is a Cologne based illustrator and graphic designer. Drawing has been a passion of hers since early childhood and tattoo art is simply a logical next step for her. She is fascinated with dark art, pop culture as well as Northern and Eastern European mythology, which combined serve as an inspiration for many of her illustrations. Most of them involve a natural element, often playing with the natural balance of life and death – her artist name Skullcult alludes to just that.

MATTI

Tattooer

Being the worlds youngest boomer, Matti brings a variation of skills to the table. 20 years experience in playing Magic the gathering, skateboarding, an unlimited supply of dad jokes and an academic grade in geography and philosophy, make him the perfect conversation partner.


Also he does some tattooing. If you wanna talk cheese, cats, scifi movies or random nerd shit, there you go!
