Medieval Tattoos, Drawn From illuminated Manuscripts
Custom tattoos inspired by bestiaries, manuscripts, and marginalia. Tattooing in Alt-Treptow, Berlin, since 2009.
Seventeen Years In
My name is Daniel. I'm a tattoo artist working from a cozy private studio in Alt-Treptow, Berlin. Seventeen years in, and I still draw every piece by hand before it touches skin, long enough to know that the right tattoo isn't a trend you chase, it's something that was already yours, waiting for a place on your body.
Client Reviews
“I am absolutely thrilled with my experience working with Daniel.
From the initial brainstorming session to the finished tattoo, I felt completely comfortable and in excellent hands.
He takes his time, listens carefully to my wishes, and contributes his own creative ideas that enhance the design even further.
The work is extremely precise, clean, and executed with meticulous attention to detail. Hygiene and professionalism are clearly his top priorities.
The studio is modern, clean, and has a pleasant atmosphere.
My tattoos turned out exactly as I had envisioned them – if not even better.
I would return in a heartbeat and wholeheartedly recommend him!”
— Marvin Lang“I have 7 tattoos from Daniel already, and I’m definitely coming back for more.
He’s an amazing artist, but what really sets him apart is the atmosphere he creates and the genuine care he gives his clients.
You feel seen, listened to, and completely comfortable.
On top of that, it’s just really fun to be around him, which makes the whole tattoo experience something you actually look forward to.
The combination of great art and real human connection is rare.
I couldn’t recommend him more.”
— Petra Eva Beaucamp
“Daniel is the kind of person who doesn’t just leave a mark on your skin — he leaves one on your soul.
With a smile, he makes tattoo time fly by.
His designs are refined and delicate, with clean lines and a level of detail that only comes from years of true mastery.
But what really sets his work apart goes beyond the ink. Daniel has a rare ability to create deep, almost instant bonds with his clients — even when you’re complete strangers.
Meeting him feels familiar, like something that’s been unfolding over many lifetimes.
His friendship leaves a mark. His tattoos adorn. His smile lights everything up.
Thank you, Daniel, for the marks you left on me.”

“Getting tattooed by Daniel was an amazing experience.
He was intentional in his approach and took the time to check in, ask thoughtful questions, and make sure I felt comfortable throughout the process.
That made the experience feel easy and collaborative, and it also gave the tattoo a deeper sense of meaning—it felt like a marker of stepping into a new chapter or identity, rather than just getting inked.
The line work is extremely clean, and his precision is impeccable.”
