Your Local Tattoo Studio
Calahonda is where Oxygen Ink lives. The studio is at Avenida de España 24, 29649 Calahonda, in the Mijas Costa part of the coast between Marbella and Fuengirola. If you live in Sitio de Calahonda or one of the surrounding urbanisations, you have a master tattoo artist with more than 30 years of experience just down the road.
Björn founded Oxygen Ink in Cologne in 2003. In 2024 he brought the studio to the Costa del Sol and chose Calahonda: a relaxed, international community right in the middle of the coast, easy to reach from Marbella, Fuengirola and everywhere in between.

For Holidaymakers Staying in Calahonda
Calahonda is full of holiday apartments, and many of our clients are visitors staying just around the corner. If that's you, a tattoo can be a meaningful part of the trip, as long as you plan for healing. A fresh tattoo needs about two weeks out of the sea and the pool and out of direct sun. Read the aftercare guide and message us with your dates; Björn can prepare your design before you arrive.
What We Tattoo
Oxygen Ink is known for detailed realism, elegant fine line work, bold blackwork and Māori & Polynesian-inspired pieces, precise sacred geometry and honest, well-planned cover-ups. Whatever the style, it starts with a conversation and ends with a design that is yours alone.
