The six person crew explains why art should be political and how being nice will change their industry.

that not only gives clients, but also the tattoo artists, security in their mutual dealings and provides solutions for contemporary discussions. In essence? Be nice. The collective live this credo wholeheartedly.When I go back to the west coast of Sweden, everyone just hangs out at home. They created and built their own queer safe spaces at different people’s homes. And if they do ever go out to a club, then they’ll book the whole room so it’s just them there.

I was once used as a “token” in order to say “we are a queer space, here is a Femme-presenting person.” It was uncomfortable because you are used as a poster child for something you don’t want to stand for. Especially in classical studios, there are still big reservations regarding hand-poking, which I just don’t understand.

There was no studio that was a place for everyone. There was no place where everyone could feel comfortable. Of course there are queer and safe spaces in Berlin, but for me it was also always important that there are no money issues. In many studios, you have to pay at least 30 percent of your earnings from each tattoo in order to work there. I understand that they need to pay the rent, but you can figure something out. I don’t like it when others profit from such intimate work.

Sometimes you forget that this is not just a safe space for clients, but also for tattoo artists. How do you feel about that?
