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.
