Portrait tattoo in Erfurt
In the end a portrait tattoo has to answer one single question: do you recognise the person? That comes down to a few millimetres: the distance between the eyes, a crease at the corner of the mouth, the light in the pupils. That's exactly why portrait is one of the styles I've specialised in.
Portraits of children, parents, grandparents or pets are among the most personal pieces I do. So I take extra time for the design and calmly go through the choice of picture, the crop and the size with you. I usually work in black & grey, but colour is possible on request.

Is Portrait right for you?
- Skin type
- Portraits are possible on all skin types. On very dark skin I work with especially strong contrast in black & grey so the face stays three-dimensional.
- Size
- A face needs room. Roughly the size of a palm is the minimum, more is much better. Inner forearm, upper arm, calf and thigh work well.
- Experience
- You don't need any prior experience, but some staying power, because portraits often take several hours. You can take breaks at any time, I don't rush anyone.
Good to know: The reference largely decides the result. Ideal is a sharp photo with clear light from one side, where the face is large in the frame and that hasn't been through a filter. Feel free to bring several photos to the consultation, then we'll pick the best one together.
