ABOUT ME
I’m Agus, a tattoo artist based in Berlin.
I’m drawn to the details people tend to overlook: light moving through glass, reflections in water, shadows changing throughout the day, a beautiful moment that exists for only a few seconds.
I believe beauty can be found almost anywhere, if you take the time to notice it.
This way of seeing the world has slowly become the foundation of my work. I’m interested in translating feelings, memories and fleeting moments into tattoos, using delicate realism, light, shadow and detail to create something personal and timeless.
I studied Visual Arts in Buenos Aires, and discovered tattooing in 2016. What started as an exploration of another medium has grown into a way of creating that allows me to connect with people and turn the things that matter to them into something they can carry with them.
I’m also the owner of La Graine, where I work alongside a wonderful team of artists and have created a space built around creativity, care and community.

Please fill out this form to request an appointment. Try to take the time to browse for inspiration, think about your likes and dislikes of anything you see. Be as detailed as possible so I can really understand what you have in mind.

The price of your tattoo will depend on a number of factors, including level of intricacy of the design, size and placement. If needed, these factors can sometimes be altered in order to stick to a specific budget.
When you submit your booking request, you will receive an approximate price for your tattoo. Remember that booking requests are non-binding, so you’re always free to change your mind :)
-
Once the appointment is booked, I will work on the tattoo design and send it to you via email the day before we meet. I prefer to have the design ready for the appointment day, so I will gladly receive feedback by email in order to get to the perfect tattoo design.
I will design the tattoo based on my creative style and considering what will look best on skin. I won’t tattoo a design if I’m not completely confident that it will look good or if it looks unaesthetic in my opinion, and I will always give my professional advice in terms of size and placement.
-
It is very important to follow the aftercare recommendations in order to keep the tattoo looking its best. I will give an aftercare package with everything needed for the healing process, together with a detailed explanation of every step to follow when taking care of a new tattoo. Before committing to an appointment, keep in mind that the tattoo cannot be exposed to direct sunlight, or be submerged in any body of water during the first month of healing. Also, please don’t do any sports within the first 10 days of having the tattoo.
-
Keep in mind that small, light and delicate tattoos in particular tend to heal a little more irregularly and lighter than traditional tattoos. Minor deviations of the tattoo from the design and a little irregularity after healing do not constitute a defect. Tattooing is a handcraft. However, in some cases a touch up might be necessary, so please send me a good photo of your healed tattoo 4-8 weeks after the appointment, so we can assess together whether it would be useful to retouch or not.

— Aleksandra“The studio is absolutely beautiful and you immediately feel comfortable. Everything was spotlessly clean and professional, and the communication beforehand was totally relaxed and straightforward. Agus is incredibly friendly, works very precisely, and really takes her time.”
— Hannah“I planned a slightly larger design with Agus, and when I saw the first draft, I was absolutely thrilled. She exceeded my expectations! Agus has a perfect eye for what looks great and how individual elements harmonize with each other. She gave me a floral tattoo, and even did it freehand—it's a true work of art. I would go back to this studio in a heartbeat, and I certainly will again. A huge recommendation from me”
