Old Craffe Tattoo

Old Craffe Tattoo is a private tattoo studio in Lausanne, Switzerland, run by an artist who trained at a graphic arts school in Paris before pursuing a career as a graphic designer. Years later he began drawing his own tattoo designs, sharing them on social media until established tattoo artists took notice and encouraged him to pursue tattooing as a career. His style draws on diverse influences and adapts to each client's project, with work ranging from traditional and old-school pieces to floral, mandala, and dotwork designs. At the center of his approach is a strong focus on human connection, building relationships with clients to ensure their tattoo is properly understood and well executed.

Clients are welcomed in a private studio setting in Lausanne with strict hygiene standards, and all equipment used is single-use. Custom projects require a design deposit before any sketching begins, and tattoos are not performed on minors under any circumstances, even with parental consent. Alongside custom commissions, the studio regularly offers flash tattoo designs, drawing on themes like animals, flowers, skulls, and nautical imagery. The artist also travels to tattoo conventions such as those in Bourg-en-Bresse and Douvaine, and welcomes inquiries from anyone looking to discuss a tattoo idea, ask questions, or get advice before booking.
