Blackout & blackwork tattoos in Stuttgart

Solid black areas, negative space and lines designed around your body. Explore blackout and blackwork by FRANKNABE in Stuttgart, including healed work.

Blackout or blackwork?

Blackout uses large, continuous areas of black. Blackwork can also use lines, ornaments and open skin as part of the design. We discuss which approach suits your placement and your idea.

Designed around your body

An arm, a leg or a larger connected piece needs a design that works from different angles. Send your preferred placement, approximate size and references from my portfolio. If you have an existing tattoo, we first discuss the possibilities for a cover-up.

See healed work

Healed photographs are explicitly labelled in the gallery, so you can also see results after healing. An unlabelled photograph does not indicate a confirmed healing stage.
