Geschichte

Gereon Schaffrath, the third child of a chinese mother and a german father, loved painting and drawing since his early years.He finally got inspired by tattoos through the Psycho/Rockabilly scene of the 1980´s.
After finishing school he was working as an industrial mechanic for the Hoechst AG in Frankfurt/Germany. During this time he decided to turn his interest of drawing into tattooing. He quit his job, flew to New York and bought his "starter kit" from Spaulding & Rogers.His friends, more or less guinea pigs, lining up at home looking forward to get pricked by the "hot needle". After the
first three years groping himself into the field of "piking". He improved his skills by working from 1996 to1998 for Mirko Knauer´s "Skin Art Tattoos" in Offenbach. Fortunately being supervised by this master of the genre.
1999 he finally opened his own shop in Kelkheim/Germany.
