Personal note from Xelo

I like to tattoo different styles and take full responsibility to dive into each style before it comes to your skin.

I like it clean and caring — a clean working place, and care for your skin in every second of the process. I care about your wishes and the full meaning behind your custom tattoo, and I always have an open ear for what we talk about together. Lately I’ve noticed rising spiritual energy in my clients; I support our choices to evolve, and I love to make spiritual tattoos because I resonate with all our inner wisdom.

“Time is the greatest gift you can give to others — and Tony takes his time. From the first second I felt comfortable, could ask for every change and together we worked out how my tattoo would fit best. I love it, it’s like it’s always been there. Clean, pleasant atmosphere, best playlist. Top man for all styles!”

“He took a lot of time to work out my existing ideas and give the tattoo its finishing touches. We realized a larger motif on the upper arm. Technique, calm and an eye for detail are first class — I recommend Tony unreservedly.”
