About Shark Tattoo

Not just ink. A piece of you.

Shark Tattoo is more than just a tattoo studio; it’s a lifelong vision brought to life by Marius, known as "Shark."

The story

From Romania to Cloppenburg.

  1. 1998 Marius does his first tattoo in Romania — after years of sculpture, stained glass and church restoration.
  2. 2010 Move to Germany. Shark Tattoo keeps growing here.
  3. 2019 Shark Tattoo opens in Cloppenburg, Lange Str. 63.
  4. 2026 In January the second studio opens in Minden, Bäckerstraße 48 — tattoo, piercing and permanent make-up.

His journey in art began over two decades ago in Romania, fueled by a deep passion for expression through various media. Before immersing himself fully into tattooing, Marius explored art forms that ranged from sculpture and stained glass to the intricate restoration work on historic churches. With a foundation built at Romania’s prestigious University of Arts, Marius’ skills and dedication to art shine in every piece he creates.

Marius’ introduction to tattooing over 25 years ago was transformative. It became a medium that not only allowed him to connect with others but also share his artistic journey in a highly personal way. This connection with clients, combined with his refined technique and meticulous attention to detail, allowed him to develop a distinct style that stands out in the tattoo world.

In 2010, Marius relocated to Germany, where he continued to grow the Shark Tattoo brand and reputation. In 2019 Shark Tattoo opened in Cloppenburg. Since then, the studio has become a vibrant part of the community, known for its unique art and the personal connection Marius builds with every client.

From the first idea to the finished tattoo, we guide you step by step. During the free consultation, we discuss the design, size and placement. Then we create your individual sketch before setting the appointment together. After the tattoo is finished, we explain exactly how to care for it and what is important during the first few days. You can, of course, contact us afterwards with any questions.

I’ve been tattooing since 1998. What matters to me is that the design, size and placement really suit the client.
