Hi there! My name is Kirsten Grzeskowiak and I’m a German tattoo artist. I learned my craft in 2012 at a well-known tattoo studio in Düsseldorf. Drawing has always been a passion of mine, and after completing my fashion studies in 2009, I worked for three years at a large fashion company in Düsseldorf. However, I always knew that my true calling was in the world of tattoo art.
I love a good challenge and I’m always interested in keeping up with the latest trends and techniques in the industry. I feel a strong connection to the neo-traditional style as well as the current trend of blackwork, dotwork, and fine line motifs.
For me, it’s important to create custom drawings for each and every customer. I want to make sure that every tattoo is perfect and that my clients feel confident and happy with their new piece of art. Once everything is just right, I start the tattooing process.
Recently, I opened my very own tattoo studio named Wild Fennel Tattoo. It’s a charming and cozy space located between Sagres and Lagos at the Algarve. If you’d like to book an appointment with me, the best way to reach me is via
email at hello@wildfennel.tattoo or through
WhatsApp at 0049 (0) 151 73060557.
Appointments are only confirmed after receiving a deposit via PayPal / hello@wildfennel.tattoo

did this back in 2021. What a lovely start for an arm project.
Do you have your own idea for a personal arm tattoo and need someone to individualize it?

The ocean remains largely unexplored, with over 80 percent yet to be mapped, explored, or even seen by humans. In contrast, a much larger portion of the surfaces of the moon and Mars has been mapped and studied compared to our own ocean floor.
The ocean is a mystery

Oh wie schön ist Portugal
Die Zeit vergeht so schnell und es fühlt sich so an als sei es die Zeit meines Lebens.
Nie zuvor war ich freier und zufriedener in meinem Sein.Hier fühle ich mich sehr lebendig.
Es ist die Summe meiner Entscheidungen, die ich aus dem Bauch heraus entschieden habe und das gute Gefühl dabei zu sehen das etwas daraus entsteht was größer ist als ich es mir jemals gewünscht habe. Natürlich mit allem was dazu gehört -
Es war auch eine Zeit der Trauer denn in den letzten vier Jahren habe ich mich von vielen guten Menschen verabschieden müssen.
Ich bin dankbar und hoffe auf weitere glückliche Jahre hier in meinem Paradies.
Time passes so quickly and it feels like it`s the time of my life.
Never before have I been more free and content in my being.
It is the sum of my decisions that I made based on my gut feeling and the good feeling of seeing that something comes out of it that is bigger than I ever wanted. Of course with everything that goes with it -
It was also a time of sadness because over the last four years I have had to say goodbye to many good people.
I am grateful and hope for more happy years here in my paradise.
