Discuss a traditional tattoo →Traditional tattooing has several voices in our Wedding studio. Alex Sheka / AS Tattoo works with New York old school influences; Twein focuses on black traditional tattoos and original flash; Franka Geist brings an illustrator’s eye to expressive motifs and traditional influences.
Black ink, colour, a single piece or a growing collection: look at how each artist handles the subject you like. Their approaches are related without being interchangeable.
Alex Sheka / AS Tattoo · old school influences
Alex’s portfolio brings together traditional subjects such as flowers, birds, skulls and webs. The portfolio selection shown here gives context for the balance between individual motifs and surrounding tattoos.
If you like this direction, send Alex the subject, the area you are considering and examples from his work. You can ask about flash or an individual idea.

Twein · black traditional and original flash
Twein’s horned face uses dark passages, an open outline and shading to give a compact motif a clear expression. This is our visual reading of the example shown here; it is one piece within a wider portfolio.
Original flash is central to Twein’s practice, alongside custom ideas and larger projects. For a collection that grows over time, our patchwork planning guide helps you think about space around existing tattoos.

Franka Geist · character, colour and flash
Franka’s illustrated motifs bring a playful character to familiar imagery. In the tiger shown here, a rounded expression, black shapes and warm colour give the face its particular presence.
Explore her drawings as well as finished work. Send the exact flash design that interests you and ask whether it is available or can be adapted; a published flash sheet is not a live availability list.

Choosing a design and its scale
A bold outline and strong black need room within the drawing. Think about the gaps between details as well as the overall shape. Reducing the size may mean simplifying the image or choosing another composition.
Read Can we make this smaller? for the conversation about scale. There is no single minimum size that applies to every traditional tattoo.
If nearby tattoos matter to the placement, mention them when you enquire. Say whether you want the new piece to stand alone or become part of a collection.
