PROCESS
Project-based. All inquiries are personally reviewed.
Submit Project Request
1
Start by submitting a project request through the website. Provide a clear outline of the idea, placement, approximate size, and any reference material that helps communicate the direction of the tattoo. Large-scale and multi-session projects are prioritized.
Review & Consultation
2
Each submission is carefully reviewed. If a project aligns stylistically, a consultation may be scheduled to refine the concept and discuss placement, size, and other details. Consultations may take place virtually or in person prior to scheduling.
Secure Session
3
Once the project details are confirmed, a private booking link is provided to select a session date and submit the deposit. This step secures the session and allows the project to move forward into the design phase.
Concept & Design
4
Every design is developed with careful attention to composition, placement, and long-term readability. Depending on the project, designs may be prepared in advance or created together during the session. This flexible approach ensures each design is tailored to the client’s vision and the natural flow of the body. Final adjustments and details are reviewed together before the tattooing process begins.
Session Day
5
Prior to the session, a detailed preparation guide is provided to help ensure a smooth and comfortable tattoo experience. Each session is dedicated entirely to the client and their individual project, with a focus on precision, artistry, and attention to detail. A private, appointment-only setting provides a relaxed and personal atmosphere where quality and comfort take priority.
Aftercare & Healing
6
Proper aftercare is essential for a succesful healing process and long-lasting results. At the end of each session, detailed aftercare instructions are provided to ensure optimal healing. Additional support and guidance are available throughout the healing process whenever needed.
ABOUT
I’m Robin Spitschan, a German Black and Gray tattoo artist based in Raleigh, North Carolina.
With over 14 years of professional experience, my tattooing career has taken me across Europe and the United States, including owning and operating tattoo studios in both Germany and Florida before relocating to North Carolina.
My work focuses on Black and Gray realism, large-scale compositions, and refined fine detail.
Each project is approached with patience, intention, and long-term vision — creating tattoos designed to age well and stand the test of time.
Outside of tattooing, I’m a husband, father, and aviation enthusiast who enjoys spending time with family and flying whenever possible.
“Because great tattoos are built on trust.”
