I'm the owner of Holy Turtle Tattoo and I have a love and passion for Blackwork tattoos but I don't wanna limit myself to just one style! Here a few photos of tattoos i really enjoyed doing! I hope you like what you see!

 

I started to get into Tattooing in the late 1980's after i got my very first tattoo in London! At that time it still was very hard to almost impossible to get a proper apprenticeship, so I had to start learning it by myself and yes that meant Tattooing on myself as well! After a while friends of mine wanted to get tattooed by me and then their acquaintances followed soon!

My work improved and my equipment started to get more professional as well !

 

In 1993 I got officially registered for the first time as a Tattooist! In 1995 my wildest dreams came true and I was able to open up my own studio in a small town in Germany ,very close to where I was born and raised! 

​

Then in 1998 I felt the strong need to improve my skills and work with other Tattooists to learn as much as I could of them, which meant I had to leave my shop and get out there into the tattoo world and chase the missing pieces of my puzzle! I had the luck and pleasure to work with many very talented tattoo artists from all around the world and learn,learn,learn..... 

​

...... and here I am now! Not the youngest anymore but still eager to learn new things!
