Tattoo & piercing in Münchberg, Upper Franconia. Jana — and Fabio from Amsterdam — tattoo here: fineline, blackwork, micro-realism, sketch, lettering, clean piercing. Every design is our own sketch, never flash off the wall.
5.0 out of 5 from 17 Google reviews
Tattoos that don't look like everyone else's. Piercing that sits — first time. And then it lasts.
Every design is made for the person who wears it — no stock templates from a catalog. Fineline and blackwork cleanly pulled through, micro-realism with substance, sketch style and lettering with a tone of their own. Piercing to surgical standard, jewelry exclusively titanium from German manufacturers. Two artists — Jana in Münchberg, Fabio from Amsterdam as resident. No big operation, but appointments where we genuinely have time for you.
From fineline to Old Skool — every style on its own page. A selected collection instead of an Instagram feed: you only see work that genuinely comes out of the studio. (Style pages in German.)
Helix, tragus, conch, septum, lobe stacks, nostril, lip, nipple. Done by Jana — trained at the Skincademy in Stuttgart, to surgical standard. Jewelry exclusively titanium from German manufacturers. Anyone who's been pierced properly once knows the difference.
Jana and Fabio at the machine, Otto as owner and studio manager in the background — plus rotating guest artists. Jana and Otto are co-owners.

Studio Manager
The organizational talent behind Skin & Art: purchasing, ops, the hands-on and technical side, web and advertising, merchandise. The all-rounder who keeps the place running — doesn't tattoo himself, but for everything around it, the first point of contact.
Always dropping by: artist friends from Germany and abroad who work with us for a limited time. We announce current guests and dates on Instagram.

Skin & Art Society was originally meant to be in Amsterdam. Today the studio stands in Münchberg, Upper Franconia — and that's no compromise, but concept. Instead of leaving the city, the city comes to the studio: resident and guest artists from Amsterdam and beyond tattoo here regularly.
Münchberg is small. Whoever travels here for a tattoo from Bayreuth, Hof or further afield is looking for something specific — and that's exactly the concept. Not a walk-in studio in the center of a big city, but a place you make the trip for.
Founded in 2024 by Jana and Otto Schlemmer. Fabio from Amsterdam has been resident from the start — two weeks at a stretch on site every month.
Our Society script on a heavyweight black premium tee — small on the chest, large across the back. Plus swim shorts, slides and buttons. Designed at the studio, printed on demand, the tee ships free. Longsleeve and hoodie are on the way.
Luxury skincare, born in the studio. We have worked on skin professionally for years — we know what it thrives on. The Urea Body Cream restores rough, demanding skin; the Sensitive Body Cream calms the delicate kind. And well-hydrated skin shows tattoos richer, lines crisper, blacks deeper.
If you get tattooed there, you'll have to come to terms with getting the most insane quality from incredible artists and lovely people. So think it over carefully. ;-)
Our daughters got their ears pierced, then my husband and I got tattoos. Consultation, design, execution — all perfect. Very clean studio, the whole team warm and welcoming.
Jana and Otto welcomed me incredibly kindly — the nerves vanished right away. The tattoo looks beautiful, turned out amazing.
They even sorted out a ramp for me as a wheelchair user. Finally a studio you come out of happy.
