ever the poky poster, here's a real fun one i got to make some months back for the awesome and hilarious trinh, as part of an epic four-piece friendship and farewell to berlin tattoo that she organized with a few of her closest pals here shortly before leaving this town for texas.. each of the four old friends adopted one of talented illustrator olya's (@adventures_illustrated ) Kiez-cat drawings to represent the respective berlin hood each has come to call home here.. friedrichshain was trinh's last local stomping ground, so it was this very cool wax slab-slinging dj-kitty who won the privilege of accompanying her on all her subsequent and future adventures.. thanks a bundle, dear trinh, for returning to me for your last (for now!🙂) berlin tattoo, and for bringing such a fine crew of beloved berlin besties with you! contact: [email protected] ____________________________________ #tattoo #berlin #berlintattoo #tattooberlin #tätowierung #secretsurfacetattoo #contemporarytattoo #pics_of_inked #femaletattooartist #veganink #inked #contemporarytattooing #contemporaryart #tattooart #btattooing #neukölln #visualart #tattooed #friedrichshain #friendshiptattoo #kiezcats #goodbyeberlin #ankletattoo #djcat #goodpals #coolcat #turntablist #fhain #djing #constantcompanion (at Nowhereland Tattoo Studio) https://www.instagram.com/p/Coz5iaNsY4S/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

what began years ago as a whimsical pencil sketch made by brilliant artist and author esther's (@dirtyliketheweeds ) equally brilliant partner across space and time, marcos (@socyart ), evolved into a digital drawing which grew eventually into this magically fun to make multi-dimensional highlight from late last year.. what an outrageous privilege it is just to know you, dear e, let alone get to make all these meaningful marks for you.. great big boundless thanks and love to you (and marcos!) for all of it! 💚 contact: [email protected] _____________________________________________ #tattoo #berlin #berlintattoo #tattooberlin #tätowierung #secretsurfacetattoo #contemporarytattoo #pics_of_inked #femaletattooartist #veganink #inked #contemporarytattooing #contemporaryart #tattooart #btattooing #neukölln #visualart #tattooed #treedom #personalgrowth #finelinetattoo #growinglove #growingtogether #timeandplace #spaceandtime #branchingout #wraparound #shouldertattoo #armbandtattoo #tree (at Nowhereland Tattoo Studio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoPluYfMCax/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

nearly four years after it first caught her eye, this newer take on one of my very oldest tattoo designs finally got to go home with the absolutely amazing tarfa.. jede Menge lieben Dank dafür, dass du dieses Motiv nie vergessen hast, und ihm jetzt das allerbeste und schönste Zuhause gegeben hast! 💚 (sorry everybody for all the glare in the photo!) contact: [email protected] ___________________________________________________ #tattoo #berlin #berlintattoo #tattooberlin #tätowierung #secretsurfacetattoo #contemporarytattoo #pics_of_inked #femaletattooartist #veganink #inked #contemporarytattooing #contemporaryart #tattooart #btattooing #neukölln #visualart #tattooed #surreal #conflictresolution #rolereversal #peacemaking #newbeginning #newending #minimalist #linesonly #wings #twowingstofly #workingitout #worthwaitingfor (at Nowhereland Tattoo Studio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmXBPHSsKIy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

it was a bonafide joy to get to see and sit down with the inimitable janneke again to work together on this minimalistic reimagining of some very special swirling cosmic figure doodles from her sketchbook.. tattoo translations like this of very personal visions are some of my absolute favourite projects to work on.. also vielen lieben Dank an dir, janneke, für noch einen großartigen Auftrag - hat mir echt eine Freude gemacht! 🙂 contact: [email protected] ___________________________________________ #tattoo #berlin #berlintattoo #tattooberlin #tätowierung #secretsurfacetattoo #contemporarytattoo #pics_of_inked #femaletattooartist #veganink #inked #contemporarytattooing #contemporaryart #tattooart #btattooing #neukölln #visualart #tattooed #tattootranslation #cosmic #swirl #minimalist #reimagining #minimaltattoo #linesonly #spaceistheplace #noshade #strahlen #abstractfigures #nobeginningnoend (at Nowhereland Tattoo Studio) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck3UsnQM3p7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

when tiny bean and jonny first came into each other's lives, she was already quite advanced in years and a good bit worse for wear, but what she lacked in teeth and coordination, she made up for in personality, and received in return more pure love and compassion from her human pal and caregiver than her own little heart could have hoped for. in celebration of bean's life and singular oddball spirit, jonny's friend emma made a special portrait of her, which i had the privilege of turning into this tattoo.. tremendous thanks to you, jonny, for trusting me with another loving dog-friend tribute, and to your wee beloved bean for inspiring it! made at @nowhereland_tattooberlin contact: [email protected] _________________________________________ #tattoo #berlin #berlintattoo #tattooberlin #tätowierung #secretsurfacetattoo #contemporarytattoo #pics_of_inked #femaletattooartist #veganink #inked #contemporarytattooing #contemporaryart #tattooart #btattooing #neukölln #visualart #tattooed #tribute #luckydog #portraittattoo #chihuahua #biglove #tinybean #tinydog #ripbean #compassion #linework #lineworktattoo #minimalistportrait (at Nowhereland Tattoo Studio) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj0mTr1MVPk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

leave it to the infinitely gifted will (@william.newmanwise ) to present me with what was easily the most absurdly fun design challenge in recent memory, resulting in this here tattoo.. endless gratitude to you, mister, for once again trusting me to interpret your gloriously weird and wildly wonderful visions!! contact: [email protected] __________________________________________ #tattoo #berlin #berlintattoo #tattooberlin #tätowierung #secretsurfacetattoo #contemporarytattoo #pics_of_inked #femaletattooartist #veganink #inked #contemporarytattooing #contemporaryart #tattooart #btattooing #neukölln #visualart #tattooed #airplane #highflying #humpbackwhale #whaletale #aviation #cetacean #highdive #skydive #minimalist #tattoodle #knottybynature #surrealism (at Neukölln, Berlin, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/CizxRntMx6n/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

here’s another one of those pencil paintings i like to make in addition to tattooing.. the original is graphite on an A3-sized (297 x 420 mm) piece of drawing paper, and is currently called ‘mutually inclusive’, although i’ve already changed the title once since i made it, so who knows what appellation i might slap on it in the future. i sometimes consider making up and offering some prints of this and other illustrations i've made, either in their original sizes or maybe also smaller, but have no real sense of whether that would appeal to anybody enough to make it worthwhile. if it would appeal to you, please get in touch and let me know.. and thanks! contact: [email protected] _________________________________________ #drawing #illustration #pencilpainting #graphite #pencilonpaper #pencildrawing #handiwork #mutuallyinclusive #decoy #swansong #pencilillustration #womenwhodraw #drawingwhilefemale #contemporarydrawing #contemporaryart #selfportrait #illustrator #originalart #sketch #illustrationartists #handdrawn #swans #handmade #workonpaper #surrealism #surrealart #surreality #friendorfoe #hidinginplainsight #inclusivity (at Neukölln, Berlin, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/CilRyltsUus/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

drawing inspiration and symbolic elements from ancient incan as well as mayan artistic traditions, the talented amaru came up with this design for his very first tattoo himself, and then tasked me with making it an indelible part of him.. many thanks again, sir, for trusting me with this very personal project! contact: [email protected] _________________________________________________ #tattoo #berlin #berlintattoo #tattooberlin #tätowierung #secretsurfacetattoo #contemporarytattoo #pics_of_inked #femaletattooartist #veganink #inked #contemporarytattooing #contemporaryart #tattooart #btattooing #neukölln #visualart #tattooed #firsttattoo #bigandbold #inca #symbology #maya #minimal #linesonly #minimalistdesign #personalsymbolism #visualaid #keepitsimple #blackink (at Neukölln, Berlin, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiQguNEMpyY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

here’s a photo of a little something i made for my one and only remaining maker (mom), in celebration of getting to see and spend some time with her last month on a rare and awfully brief visit to the homieland. i conceived of it as a sort of analog photoshop mash-up fantasy family portrait in which a few of the folks most integral to my mom’s life, but who all involuntarily departed from it far too prematurely, get to transcend the vast stretches of land, ocean and human history that separated them in reality, and surround and support her in this alternate universe version of 1943. though it’s very different from and has nothing to do with my tattooing practice, i’m putting it here on account of this type of pencil-painting is another kind of drawing i really love to do, and would like to do more of, so if you have some notion of something you’d like to see rendered on paper this way, please do get in touch and let me know about it! contact: [email protected] ________________________________________ #drawing #illustration #portrait #familyportrait #pencilpainting #graphite #analogphotoshop #pencilonpaper #alternateuniverse #pencildrawing #pencilillustration #womenwhodraw #portraiture #mashup #meetmymaker #mom #momtobe #alternativeversion #historicalfantasy #transcendreality #transcendtimeandspace #rendering #fiction #dontletperfectbetheenemyofgood #grayareas #hansi #whatif #immigration #majorplayers #vips (at Neukölln, Berlin, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChpmEjGshpm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
