Unterstrich Tätowierungen

After several years of apprenticing at Mermaids Tattoo Studio in San Francisco (in the unceded Ancestral homeland of the Ramaytush Ohlone peoples), I founded Unterstrich Tätowierungen in Hamburg in 2018 and have been working in my studio in St. Georg since the beginning of 202

As a queer, trans person, it is important to me to create a place with a calm and relaxed atmosphere where all customers can feel comfortable. For me, getting a tattoo is an act of self-determination, being able to consciously and individually design your own body to express personal stories, identities or messages and (hopefully) it helps you to feel more comfortable in your own body. It is important to me to develop your desired motif together and to work with you on your next tattoo project. Respectful communication is of great importance to me – not only to take your wishes and ideas into account in the creative process, but also to create an atmosphere of mutual respect and trust.

I had my first contact with tattoos as a child and was fascinated by the colorful images on the skin. My uncle had tattooed the name of his ex-girlfriend, among other things, and this was actually meant to serve as a cautionary tale – but it was precisely this that sparked my rebellious spirit and made me even more curious about tattoos.

On my travels, I frequently visit botanical gardens to be inspired by the diversity of plants, or I like to spend a lot of time in nature.
I also create linoleum and screen prints, which are often influenced by my tattoo motifs.

If you have any questions, would like to make an appointment for a consultation (of course also digital) and/or if you want to get tattooed, please send me an e-mail.
