Vegan Tattoo Atelier in Zurich
At Heartwork Tattoo Atelier, the focus is not only on art but also on creating a respectful and inclusive space. Everyone is welcome—regardless of origin, gender, or identity. In the calm and private atmosphere of my studio, you can feel at ease, leaving behind the hustle of a typical tattoo shop. My goal is to give you my full attention and create a unique tattoo experience. For consultations, please book an appointment in advance, as I do not accept walk-ins.
My journey
My creative path began with an apprenticeship as a graphic designer, combined with a design-focused professional baccalaureate. After working as a freelance prepress specialist - collaborating with companies like Papyrus and the Florist Association of Switzerland - I discovered my passion for tattooing in 2009. I became self-employed in 2013 and, in 2015, fulfilled my dream of opening my own studio. That same year, I adopted a vegan lifestyle, which has profoundly influenced both my work and life. Today, I work at the Vegan Oase in District 6, collaborating with like-minded people who share a passion for animal welfare, health, wellness, and art.
Custom Artwork
A look at my portfolio reveals a world full of vibrant creativity. I specialize in unique Neo-Traditional designs but also enjoy Old School, Mandalas, Blackwork, Ornamental, and Dotwork styles. While I explore many styles, I don’t consider myself an all-rounder. For instance, I don’t create Realistic tattoos, Lettering, or Polynesian/Maori designs.
Ethics
Both personally and professionally, I strive to avoid animal suffering. I use only products that are cruelty-free and free of animal-derived ingredients. This includes tattoo inks, everyday supplies, chemicals, and aftercare products. Since not all manufacturers fully disclose their ingredients, this can sometimes be a challenge - especially regarding hygiene materials. However, I continuously work to ensure that I meet the highest hygiene standards while minimizing environmental impact.
