Tattooed Shoes, what?

Yes indeed, leather and faux leather can also be found in shoes, but shoes are not tattooed with tattoo ink but with leather paint intended for leather. This ensures a durable surface for the artwork. The piece endures rubbing, scratching, and water exposure

Tattooing allows for a slightly different result than, for example, using a brush. I myself have been tattooing since 2008, and my technique includes what is known as whipping, where the shading comes out very pointillistic. I noticed that it also works on shoes and gives the image a softer appearance on the surface of the shoe than, for example, a strong linear image. The artwork is stylized, and you can wear the shoes to parties with a suit/dress, to weddings, on the golf course, on the playing field, in the city, or even in the forest; the sky's the limit.

And who says this is limited to just shoes? We have leather bags, leather jackets...

I want to bring a new look to your shoes with my work, elegant results, or if you want something a bit edgier, let's make the shoes just like you. You don't have to know exactly what you want for the shoes; you can just tell me what you like, and we'll plan together. 

Are you colorful and want your shoes to stand out, or do you want something more earthy, perhaps black and white? The shoes don't have to be white; they can also be black, brown, or even red. They are made for you, and you will wear them beautifully!

Is tattooing shoes faster than tattooing skin? Yes and no. Some factors are eliminated from the production process, which speeds up the work, but the actual tattooing takes about the same amount of time as tattooing on human skin. Planning and drawing the design can take about 1 hour to 40 hours, depending on whether you want small details or to tattoo the entire shoes and whether the shoes are sandals or tall boots.

Starting price €150 / pair. (does not include shoes)
