ABOUT

Nowhereland Tattoo was founded in 2014 in Cairo, Egypt, by Orne Gil. As a Venezuelan migrant, Orne quickly became the first female tattoo artist in modern Egypt, establishing "Nowhereland" as a powerful symbol of her search for belonging and a haven for revolutionary artists and queer individuals. The studio became a hub for self-expression, fostering a vibrant community and even hosting the first Middle East Tattoo Convention in 2017.

Tragically, Orne's work was cut short when she was arrested by Egyptian authorities due to her sexual orientation. Yet, the spirit of Nowhereland endured. Orne found her way to Berlin, where, starting from scratch, she rebuilt the studio.

Today, Nowhereland Tattoo continues its legacy as a safe, inclusive space for tattooing and piercing, strategically located at Wiener Str. 36 in the heart of Berlin's vibrant Kreuzberg. Our studio boasts exceptional accessibility, just a short walk from the Görlitzer Park U-Bahn station, and directly adjacent to the famous Görlitzer Park. This prime location ensures easy access for both locals and international visitors.

At its core, our studio's aesthetic is heavily influenced by American Traditional, Oriental, and ornamental tattoo styles. Our team includes both resident artists and a rotating roster of guest tattooers and piercers from around the globe. We proudly represent and host talent from the queer, underground, migrant, BIPOC, trans, and punk communities, fostering a truly diverse and inclusive artistic environment.
