If you're looking for next-level ink, stop scrolling... Marcel at "That Savage Studio" is the real deal. Hands down the best artist I’ve ever seen, and I don’t say that lightly. The attention to detail, the creativity, and the precision in his work? Insane. Every piece he does tells a story, and somehow he always makes it even better than you imagined.

But it’s not just the art, Marcel himself is just a genuinely cool dude.

Laid-back, professional, and passionate about his craft. He creates an atmosphere that’s chill but focused, and you feel like you're in the hands of someone who lives and breathes tattooing.

Whether it's your first piece or you're adding to a sleeve, That Savage Studio is where it’s at. Marcel doesn’t just do tattoos—he creates masterpieces.
