Austrian Tattoo Artists to Follow on Instagram
From vegan ‘hand poke’ tattooists to more classic inkers, here is our pick on the best Austrian tattoo artists to keep track of on Instagram.
Handpoked Tattoos (@noctiphobiaxink)
Some inks are made using animal products and recently, there has been a rise of artists who want to use cruelty-free products. The impressively intricate designs of this vegan-friendly ‘hand poke’ Vienna-based tattoo artist, @noctiphobiaxink, are dainty, quirky and expertly etched upon the skin. The unique sketches range from living room furniture pieces to a neatly drawn vintage Nokia phone. Clear black lines and simple everyday objects seem to be a popular subject matter for this talented artist.
Manuel Zellkern (@zellkern)
This impressive artist, Manuel Zellkern, works at the Vienna Electric Tattoo studio – one of the city’s highly recommended inking spots – and covers skin with creative flair. Detailed, carefully drawn spiral patterns appear to be a speciality of his and they are perfectly symmetrical and hypnotising to look at.
Dora (@dora.dots)
This Vienna-based artist posts her own work, as well as her personal inspirations, on her Instagram page. She is clearly talented, inking some incredibly detailed portraits onto skin, and has curated some unique designs.
