The man at the needle
Alexander Garn
I'm a young, self-employed tattoo artist with a registered business, born in Erfurt and a true local. From the first message to aftercare you deal with me and only me. I advise you, I create the design, and I do the tattooing myself.
You'll get an honest assessment from me of how far I can fulfil your wishes. If there's something I can't do well, I'll tell you, and we'll find a better solution together. I don't tattoo unconstitutional symbols and designs. Apart from that I'm very tolerant, open-minded and discreet.
I love tattooing and I'm always learning. My standard is a tattoo that still looks good in twenty years, not just on the first day.

Appointments
No waiting for months with me
You don't have to apply and you don't have to get on a long waiting list. Just tell me when suits you and I'll find a date for you. I always have something free in between, often within the next few days.
And once you're with me, I take the time you and your tattoo need. With me, you're the focus, not my calendar.
How it works
Prices and process in detailEnquiry
Please get in touch on WhatsApp or call me. I prefer the first contact on WhatsApp, because we can sort out a lot calmly there. Send me your design idea, the body part and the rough size.
Consultation
I'll tell you honestly how far I can fulfil your wishes and estimate how many hours your design needs. We can almost always find a date at short notice, and with a small deposit of €50 I keep it free for you.
Appointment
I only create the design at the appointment, when you're standing in front of me and I can see the spot. When the placement is right for you, I start. You can take breaks at any time.
Aftercare
Your tattoo is wrapped with self-adhesive tattoo film or liquid plaster, and you get a tube of tattoo cream from me. I answer questions about healing on WhatsApp.
At the appointment
Hygiene comes first
Tattooing is a procedure on the skin, so hygiene naturally comes first for me. I only work with disposable materials and professional, tested products.
My machines
I tattoo with one of three Cheyenne SOL Nova Unlimited. These machines are cordless and run on a battery, so there's no cable lying across your skin or my workspace.
Needles and disposables
I mainly use needles from Kwadron. Needle cartridges, ink caps and all accessories are sterile-packed, opened in front of you and disposed of after the appointment. Nothing gets used twice with me.
Care products during the work
While tattooing I work with Panthera foam and with Hustle Butter or high-quality shea butter. Everything that goes on your skin is tested and made for this purpose.
- Wipe disinfection instead of film
- Workspace and bed
- Gloves and skin disinfection
- Inks

5.0 out of 5 on Google

330+ Google reviewsOne of the best-rated studios in ThuringiaI felt at home straight away. Exactly the kind of tattoo studio you'd wish for, no pointless frills, just relaxed, authentic and simply cool. The result turned out really, really good. It was my first tattoo, but I'll definitely be back!I'm so happy! I came to him with a tattoo that sadly wasn't nice at all, and he just massively improved it. Now I wear it with pride again!Super happy with the tattoo and the tattoo artist. It was almost painless and didn't take too long either. Perfect advice and an indescribably good atmosphere. I couldn't have wished for anything better to start with.
