TATTOO KURIER
Overview: "Tattoo Kurier" is a project that epitomizes its name's straightforwardness. Born in 2015 and conceptualized by Marco Spitzbarth, this innovative endeavor seamlessly combines art, technology, and personal expression. The core of the project is the website "tattookurier.ch," where individuals can explore an array of online-available tattoo designs and easily arrange appointments with Marco Spitzbarth himself, a skilled tattoo artist.
Artistry Meets Convenience: At its essence, "Tattoo Kurier" represents the convergence of artistry and convenience. No longer confined to traditional tattoo parlors, this project brings the tattoo experience to your doorstep. Whether you have a design in mind or wish to peruse the available sketches, Marco Spitzbarth's expertise is at your service, ready to transform your ideas into inked realities.
Artful Giveaways: As an added bonus, every "Tattoo Kurier" appointment includes a delightful takeaway—a B2 print featuring dozens of small sketches. It's not just about the tattoo; it's about the artistry that surrounds it, making each experience a memorable journey into self-expression.
