Oxygen Ink is a premium custom tattoo studio in Calahonda, between Marbella and Fuengirola on the Costa del Sol, where three decades of craftsmanship meet your story. Realism, fine line, blackwork and cover-up tattoos — designed entirely by hand.
Founded by master artist Björn in Cologne in 2003, Oxygen Ink has built a reputation across Europe for technical precision and deeply personal work. In 2024 that legacy arrived on the Costa del Sol.
Our Calahonda studio is calm, private and immaculate — a space designed for one client at a time, an easy drive from Marbella, Fuengirola and La Cala de Mijas. Every piece begins with a conversation, not a stencil. We listen to your story, then translate it into artwork made to live on your skin for a lifetime.
No flash walls. No rushing. Just considered, hand-drawn custom tattoos created in a setting that feels closer to an atelier than a parlour.

A master tattoo artist with over 30 years behind the machine. Björn opened his first studio in Cologne in 2003 and brought Oxygen Ink to the Costa del Sol in 2024, with a rare command of both fine detail and large-scale composition.
"For me, every tattoo is a collaboration — I combine my experience with the client's story to create something unique and personal."

Absolutely the best experience. Björn took my vague idea and turned it into a piece of art I'll treasure forever.
Spotless studio, incredible attention to detail and a true professional. Worth every minute of the trip to Marbella.
The realism work is unreal. People stop me in the street to ask where I got it. Highly recommend.
