TATTOO
ARTIST
AUSTRIA.
Derek Entenmann, known internationally as UberDerek, creates original abstract, Aquarell, watercolor, geometric and large-scale tattoo projects from his home base in Salzburg, Austria.
A tattoo worth traveling for.
Clients do not always choose tattoo work by searching for the nearest studio. Sometimes the work itself is the destination.
Derek has worked internationally since the early part of his career and is now based permanently in Salzburg, where he develops original tattoo projects at Hive Tattoo Studio.
Clients travel to Salzburg from across Austria, Europe and internationally for work that combines abstraction, painterly movement, geometry, graphic structure and contemporary art.
Not one style. One visual language.
Abstract
Movement, contradiction, texture, fragmentation and visual tension.
Aquarell / Watercolor
Painterly movement and expressive color built into a deliberate composition.
Geometric
Structure, pattern and architecture used to organize the tattoo.
Grafik / Graphic
Line, shape, contrast and graphic-art relationships used as part of original compositions.
Blackwork
Dense black, contrast and graphic structure interacting with lighter or painterly elements.
Large-Scale
Sleeves, backs and broader projects planned around anatomy and developed across sessions.
Salzburg is where the work comes home.
After years of international travel, conventions and guest work, Derek established Salzburg as his permanent European base.
Hive Tattoo Studio provides a home for custom tattooing, experimentation, painting and the wider creative work surrounding UberDerek.
For clients elsewhere in Austria, Salzburg is particularly suitable for larger and multi-session projects because the work can be developed over time rather than compressed into a travel appointment.
