Darkside Tattoo & Piercing

Darkside Tattoo & Piercing has been part of the tattoo world since 1999, working out of studios in Dresden and Hoyerswerda in Saxony. The studio focuses on individual, custom tattoo work rather than off-the-shelf designs, describing its approach as turning ideas into genuine body art. Its team of tattoo artists and piercers covers a wide range of styles, including black-and-white and black'n grey portraiture, Japanese, Maori, biomechanical, realism and color realism, comic, traditional and neo-traditional, blackwork, dotwork, lettering, fineline, chicano, cover-ups, mandala, ornamental and abstract work.

Alongside tattooing, the Dresden location offers piercing services, with staff dedicated specifically to piercing work. The studio also runs an online shop selling vouchers, and it regularly hosts guest artists in its studios in addition to its core team. Appointments can be booked directly online, with artists organized by studio location and specialty so clients can find the right match for their chosen motif. The team describes its galleries as open platforms for creative minds in both tattooing and piercing, reflecting a shared passion for discovering and realizing new ideas in body art.
