LayerLayer

Fineline · Linework · Minimal & Abstract · Custom Flash

LayerLayer brings a graphic-designer's discipline to permanent artwork. Originally from Vienna, Austria, where she began tattooing in 2018, she's spent the last eight years building a precise, considered practice in fineline, linework, and minimal abstract pieces. Her work runs to butterflies, flowing lines, shells, and flowers; designing her own flash is still her favorite kind of project. For custom work she leans into close collaboration: a mix of your ideas and her style, figured out together.

Meet LayerLayer

CLEAN LINES, CLOSE COLLABORATION

Hi, I'm LayerLayer, originally from Vienna, Austria, where I also began my tattooing journey in 2018. I have a background in graphic design with a Bachelor of Arts, and I've been in creative fields since elementary school. Honestly, I never saw myself doing anything else.

I found tattooing during a phase of not really knowing what direction to take in life, until I got my first tattoo and something just clicked. I started out tattooing friends in my apartment in Vienna, to see if it felt right, and I completely fell in love with it. Haven't stopped since.

My focus is on fineline, linework, minimal and abstract pieces. I'm all about clean, precise work. I also love tattooing butterflies, flowing lines in all kinds of forms, shells and flowers. Designing and tattooing my own flash is always my favorite, but I'm just as into creating custom pieces. For custom work, I like a good mix of your ideas and my style: a close collaboration where we figure out the best result together. I'm always open to changes, and I also appreciate when there's some trust and creative freedom.

I care a lot about creating a safe, warm atmosphere where anyone can show up as they are and feel good about it. When I'm not tattooing, you'll usually find me at the beach, out for a coffee, or doing anything outdoors. I also love photography, crafting, being around plants, and, no surprise, still drawing whenever I can. I'm really grateful I never stopped creating, because it led me to a life and work I genuinely love.

No matter who you are, just come as you are. I care a lot about making sure everyone feels comfortable here, whether the design is mine or yours.
