Our Artists for Realistic Tattoos

Creating a realistic composition takes incredible talent, and tattooing it is an even greater challenge. Realistic tattoos should only be done by professional artists with years of experience and the necessary skill set. At our tattoo studio in Lucerne, we work with international tattoo artists who are icons in their field.

Realistic tattoos are inspired by the realism art movement, aiming to create lifelike depictions of living beings or objects on the skin. From portraits and animals to landscapes and everyday objects, these tattoos are rendered with remarkable precision and a 3D effect so lifelike, it’s almost unbelievable.

With endless possibilities for motifs, this style allows for personalized compositions tailored to the chosen area of the body. It’s essential, however, to ensure the design is large enough to capture the intricate details that bring a realistic tattoo to life. On smaller surfaces, some of these important details can be lost, reducing the overall impact.

Realistic tattoos require patience and time, often taking multiple sessions to complete. If you have a design in mind and are ready to commit to the process, let’s start this journey together today! We can’t wait to bring your vision to life.

Our Artists for Cover-Up Tattoos

Cover-up tattoos are a true art form. They require years of experience, exceptional talent, and a strong sense of creativity. The goal of a cover-up tattoo is to completely conceal the original tattoo and replace it with something entirely new. The possibilities for hiding an old tattoo depend on various factors, such as the size of the original design, its colors, placement, and the desired new motif.

Typically, a cover-up tattoo will be larger than the original. What sets it apart from creating a brand-new tattoo is the technique used to apply the ink. The goal is to encapsulate and overlay the existing pigments with new ones. Because of this, the process is more complex and can take longer to complete compared to a standard tattoo.

Ready to transform your old tattoo into something fresh and inspiring? Let’s make it happen! Our experienced artists are here to guide you every step of the way.
