Arnold

Tattoo-artist

Arnold is an old face at 13 Needles and as of February 2025 again part of the 13 Needles Team. He started his apprenticeship in  fall of 2017 and began tattooing full time in August 2018. He studied graphic design and worked as an Art Director where he soon discovered that he wanted to do something meaningful which complimented his talents as an illustrator. Thus the pursuit of starting a career as a tattoo artist was born and the rest is history.

Arnold is experienced in various styles such as Blackwork, Traditional and Neotraditional and enjoys working in Black and Grey or in colour. He especially enjoys animal related designs and portraits but doesn’t shy away from smaller projects either.

If he or his works piqued your interest feel free to contact him directly via Instagram or get in touch with the studio.

“The beauty of tattooing lies not in it’s skin deep vanity but in the connections formed in the process.”
