Your Neighbourhood Tattoo Artist
Riviera del Sol sits right beside Calahonda in Mijas Costa, with its residential streets climbing the hillside and Miraflores Golf at its heart. Oxygen Ink is a few minutes away on Avenida de España in Calahonda, close enough that a consultation is as easy as popping out for a coffee.
The studio is run by Björn, a master tattoo artist with more than 30 years of experience who founded Oxygen Ink in Cologne in 2003. In 2024 he brought it to the Costa del Sol, settling in this quieter, residential stretch between Marbella and Fuengirola.
Getting Here from Riviera del Sol
- By car: head down to the A-7 coast road and on to Calahonda. The studio is at Avenida de España 24, 29649 Calahonda, around five minutes' drive depending on where you start.
- On foot: from the lower parts of Riviera del Sol, Calahonda is within walking distance, although the hills are steep in the summer heat.
Bigger Projects, Close to Home
Being this close makes multi-session work much easier. If you've been thinking about a sleeve, a back piece or a large chest panel, having the studio around the corner takes the stress out of scheduling several sessions and healing in between. Popular choices for larger pieces include:
- Blackwork sleeves and ornamental pieces that age beautifully in the sun
- Māori & Polynesian-inspired designs flowing over the shoulder and chest
- Black & grey realism sleeves combining portraits, statues and nature

Fixing an Old Tattoo
Many people in Riviera del Sol have lived interesting lives in several countries, and sometimes that comes with a tattoo they'd rather not wear any more. Our cover-up work turns old, faded or unwanted tattoos into something new. Send a clear photo and we'll tell you honestly what's possible.
