I'm Marius Bosman, and I've been tattooing since 1992. For more than 30 years tattooing has been my passion, my livelihood and a big part of who I am.
I opened the first tattoo studio in the history of Stellenbosch, and I've had the privilege of watching, and contributing to, the evolution of tattooing in Cape Town and South Africa.
I came up in the shops of the late '80s and early '90s: flash on every wall and bold traditional work. I've kept learning ever since and bring modern techniques, trends and technology to every piece, on an old-school foundation.
This studio is where it all comes together: the atmosphere and character of the shops I grew up around, and everything I've learned in the chair since.
