Tattoo Designs Deleted!

Unfortunately and with a heavy heart I had to delete all custom tattoo designs from my gallery and so I will do on my other websites as well.
The reason is that people obviously have problems to respect individuality and take my work even if it is marked as property of a certain person - the person who commissioned me to design the corresponding tattoo, the person who paid a lot of money to get a unique tattoo.
I know, maybe it was naive to think there could be something like respect among those who appreciate my art, but actually putting the finished works online was the only chance to show the world what I do... Recently designing tattoos has become my main occupation and it is quite clear that the amount of these jobs will decrease if I no longer can promote my work on the net. But the integretiy towards my customers is more important than the amount of commissions so I will have to find another way of promoting my art.

Sorry for those whojust enjoyed looking at my art and fuck those who steal! May the ink poison your skin - my curse is upon you!

Please don't ask me to redo any of my previous works!

Folks, please pay attention to this procalmation!
Of course I appreciate any interest in my arts and crafts and every customer is very welcome - however there's one thing I would like to make clear to spare you and me precious time.

Please don't ask me to redo any of my previous works!

Most items that have been in the shops have been made several times - and their time is over! This is just the reason I closed down my Etsy Shop - I simply became fed up with doing the same stuff on and on again. It is certainly not in my customers' interest if I do things with a kind of reluctance just to earn some money - this would be the quite opposite of what my work really is about!
Furthermore I can't redo single items just because of the fact that they would cease to be single items in the moment they got replicated. So just imagine, you buy something as a single item and afterwards become aware of that there are plenty of additional copies of your "single item"...
So please contact me further on for plenty of nice custom works but give phantasy and creativity a chance and don't ask for the old stuff all the time!

Thanks for your attention!

Recent Work: Dragon Pendant


Finally spring time is here and so is the possibility to work outside. This means bone carving! Here you see one of the first carving projects of 2012 and if this isn't my best one so far, I don't know...

The design is my own, but was to a large degree influenced by an urnes style original from the viking age. The design itself as on paper is a lot more pure Urnes style, while adding the dots inside the body of the dragon makes the pendant more of a viking-style-crossover.
