German by birth, Susanne now works in England and feeds her imagination with everything she happens to see around her. Like Alice in Wonderland, she tries to imagine the lives of the animals she loves to tattoo. During her apprenticeship in a small shop near her hometown, she learned everything that’s important to know in order to get started and then did some walk-ins at some shops in southwest Germany, tattooing different styles. All of that helped her to understand the profession and develop herself technically. Susanne describes her style as illustrative, emotive, whimsical and graphic. She enjoys tattooing any kind of animals but also likes other subjects: mermaids, ladies’ heads or tattoos with a traditional origin, as well as things no one has ever asked her to do. She felt a deep passion for blackwork as soon as she did her first piece and that’s why black and grey is her preferable style. When Susanne left Germany, first she went to Amsterdam to work with two of her favorites artists – Guen Douglas and Kim Anh Nguyen. Then went to Hamburg, to work at Immer&Ewig Tattooing, the shop of her close friend Christian Hensen. And now she lives in the countryside in Manchester with a dog and a cat and works at Redwood Tattoo studio. You can see more of König’s quirky tattoo art on her Instagram Page and in case you really like some, go to her website for orders of prints and other goodies.
